THE STAFF OF LIFE.

In order to always secure good cread,
it is economy TO purchase the best flour,
even at a greater cost. Newly-grOund
flour, which has never been packed, is
much superior to barrel-four. Indian
meal, also, is much the best when fresh
ly ground.
No one thing is of more important in
making bread than thoroughly knead-
ing it, When bread is taken out of the
oven hot. n6v yer set fiat on table, as it
sweats the bottom. and acquires bad
taste from the wood. Take out Of the
tins, wrap in clean linen, and set on end
till cool. If il has a thick hard crust,
first wrap in wet cloth, then dry
one over IL, and let il sweat TIL II be-
comes soft.
How to make wheat bread. Take
two quarts of wheat flour, half cup
of molasses, tea-cup of lively yeast,
mixed up well with warm water; let it
stand in warm place an hour and a
half. If necessary add little salera-
tus; bake All hour and half.
To make salt-rising bread. Take a

stove, when it rises and comes up, near
the point of running over. mix your
bread, place in tins, and set near the
stove TO rise. When it comes UP light
put in hot oven and bake till well
done. Some prefer moulding it over
after it comes up. and then re. raising
before baking.
To make rye and Indian bread. Take
two quarts of Indian neal, and scald it;
then add as much rye mea, tea-cup-
full of molasses, half pint Of lively
yeast. II the yeast be sweet. no sale
ratus is necessary. II sour, Pot in a lit
tie: let il stand from one TO two hours,
till 1t rises: then bake it about three.
To make brown bread. Put the Indian
meal in your bread pan; sprinkle little
salt among it. and wet 1t thoroughly |
with scalding water. When il is cool,
put in your rye, add two gills of lively
Yeast, aud mix with water as stiff as
YOU can kncadit it. Let it stand an hour
and half. in cool place in sumunre,
on the hearth in winter. II should be
put iuto very hot oven, aud baked
three or four hours.

DRYING FRUIT.

The correct principle in drying fruit
Is to subject the fruit TO a current of
hot air so as 10 day the ca. surface at
once, which prevents discoloration and
hermetically seals the cells which con-
tain acid and starch. and which yield
glucose or fruit sugar. A current of dry,
hot air is made TO pass over and under
the fruit, carrying all the moisture out
Of the machine without interfering
with or passing through the trays
above-the strongest heat being con-
centrated on each tray when it first en-
ters the dryer. The fruit, does not
cook, but the moisture is evaporatcd
and removed rapidly, and the Iruit has
. bright, pleasing color. making it sell
rapidly, at highest prices. Ii operates
Just ms well on all vegetable prouducts
as upon fruits. turning ont a product of
the very best quality.

Every young man should remember
that the world will always honor indus
try. The vulgar and useless idler whose
energies of body and mind are rusting
for want of exercise. the mistaken being
who pursues amusement As relief to his
enervated muscles, or engages in exer-
cises that produce no useful end, may
look with scorn on the laborer at his
toll, but his scorn is prais, his contempt
houor. Honesty and industry will Sc
cure the respect of the wise and good
among men, and yield the rich fruits of
IN easy conscience, and give that hearty
self-rcspect which is above ali price.
Toll on, then, young men and women.
Be diligent in busincss-improvc the
heart and mind.

Cider is SO cheap this season that
farmers who study economy will be
likely to make their own vinegar. The
process of manufacture is very simple.
The best vessel for use in making yinc-
gar is barrel in which hard cider or
vinegar has been stored, Ifanew bar
rel is employed, it should be thoroughly
rinsed out, gallon or more hot vinegar
poured in and allowed to soak into the
wood, The presence Of a small amount
of old vinegar will cause the contents
Of the vessel to acidify more rapidly.
The barrel in which vinegar is made
should moi be entirely full Of cider. 1t
is best to leave space equal to about
one-third of the capacity Oft the vessel in
which the air can circulate. The bung
of the barrel should nc left out and the
vessel placed OH its side about foot
from the floor. In order to bore hole
in each cnd of the barrel q few inches
from the chime. A uniform tempera-
ture about eighty degrees is most fa-
voraly to the rapid making of vinegar.
This may often be conveniently obtain
ed by placing the vessel back of the
stove in tho cooking room. Sometimes
loft over the kitchen can be employed
in the manufacture of considerable
amount of vinegar during the winter.
ifa stovepipc runs through the room
the requisite temperature may be OBJ
tanned without extra expense.
The process Of changing cider into
vinegar may be fastened by OCCASION
ally rolling the barrels from side to side.
Cider TO which mustard seed, horserad-
ish and sulphate oflime have been added
with view of keeping it sweet cannot
be converted into vinegar. 1t is net
necessary to have hard cider in order to
manufacture vinegar. II may be made
to good advantage from juice just ex-
pressed from apples. 1t is customary
to allow the new cider to remain week
or two in open tubs or barrels from
which one head has been removed be-
fore placing it in the barrel that is to
serve as vinegar generation. During
this time il passes through the vinous
fermentation, and is tolerable clear. If
it is strained before it is put in the gen.
Grating barrel an accumulation of sedi-
mcnt may be prevented. by filtering
cider through animal charcoal or BONE
black the vinegar made from it will be
nearly colorlcss. by adding little
burnt sugar or caramel dark-colorcd
vinegar may BE- obtained. Vinegar of
very fine flavor can be manufactured
only from tho juice of sounds, well-iav-
ored apple. The taste Of acctic acid,
which is the sour principle of vinegar,
is not pleasant. Ii requires to be mod
fled by the natural acids and other sub
stances OF agreeable flavor contained in
fruits.

Apples should be perfectly dry when
taken from the tree, and kept SO until
stored awsy for keeping over winter.
When picking, use oval shaped half
bushcl baskets. The basket may be kept
ON the arm or ON high stool near by,
both, as convenience requires. All infs-
rior apples that come into :he hand while
picking, drop, being careful to pick none
into the basket but sound, smooth frrit
of fair size. Whnn the basket is full
carefully pour them into the bin, and
when that is full at night. cover with
boards to keep off the sun and rain; con-
tinue the operation of picking during
dry weather until done. Never cover
the apples with straw while in the
orchard. 1t makes them to warm, and
there is no danger Of Their being injured
by frost until quite late in the season.
They must be kept dry and from the
sun. To keep apples nicely. q dry, airy
light cellar, and scrupulousy clean, as
absolutely necessary. The sides and cell
ing of the cellar should be cemented
with plaster to keep an even temper
turc of cold, and the bottom Of the Gel
lar cemented with waterproof cement to
keep out the dampness. There should
be one or more windows ON the oppo-
site sides Of the cellar to give free cir
cuiation of air when needed. They
should be of glass, and supported by
hinges at the top SO that they may he
opened and shut as circulation requires.
In such cellar, bins three feet wide
may be constructed around the sides
and wider ones through the center.
These bins may be filed with apples
from the bottom to the height of five or
six feet, without danger of injury to the
bottom apples, by the weight of the up
per ones. Make the necessary parti-
tions in the bins to keep the apples sep
arate. Apples keep much better when
stored in large quantities than if spread
out III layers on shelves. When bins
cannot be constructed in the cellar, the
apples may be put into barrels and
headed up tightly and slowed away in
the cellar. In this way they usually
keep tolerably well. Vegetables Of no
kind should be stored in the cellar with
apples. In a temperature suitable for
keeping the latter, most vegetables will
freeze. Leaves or straw stOuld not be
put in with fruit. They draw damp
ness and speck and rot the apples. Ap-
pies put away according to these instru.
ctious may be kept until late in the fol-
lowing spring-latc keepers, until mid
summer.

HOW IS THISf


Let Wickersham and Noyss Explain.
At the meeting Of the school superinten-
dents held in Harrisburg, on Wednesday
night, the failure of the state treasurer to
honor school warrants was discussed at
some length. Prof. J. A. Cooper made
statement, in which he said that on the 18th
day Of January, he called upon the state
treasurer and asked him to pay warrants to
the amount of $4,000. He was informed
that the treasurer did not have the money,
and that it would probably be three
months before they could be paid. Not
being satisfied with this answer, he went
to the auditor general Office and asked to
see the monthly statements Of the trea-
surer, which were shown him, and from
which, he states, he copied the following
figures:
