We do not know that he would
consent to become a candidate, but
there is no better gubernatorial tim
Der in the State than Judge John II,
Grace, Of Trigg county. He would
make infinitely q better Governor
than any man who has yet been men,
toned. For thirteen years he has
been judge of theSecond Judicial dis
trict and has made record of which
his friends are justly proud. We
know his district would be solid for
him and we believe all Western Ken
lucky would unite upon him and
rally to his support. Judge Grace's
abilities aud the faithful manner in
which he has ever discharged bis ju-
diciaI duties, entiile him to promo
ton and VIC trust that he will permit
his friends to bring forward his
claims for The Office of Governor,
when the proper timc comes.

HINTS ON BREAD MAKING.

When you put the bread on the board
mix it lightly. Do not press down, but let
all your motions be as elastic as possible.
Knead with the palm of the hand until the
dough is fiat cake, and then fold; keep do
ing this until the dough is fiat and smooth,
and will not stick to the board or hands.
Use as little flour as possible in kneading.
Do not stop kneading until you have fin
ished. Bread that is 'rested'' is never so
good. Milk can be used instead of water in
mixing the bread. 1t should always. be
scalded first, and then let cool to blood
heat. One tablespoonful of lard or butter
makes the bread little more tender when
water is used.
In cold weather some kitchens grow cold
very quickly after the fire goes out In that
case the bread should be made earlier in the
evening and set in warmer place (about
eighty or ninety degrees), because if it be-
gins to rise well the first two hours it will
continue to rise, unless the temperature of
the room falls to the freezing point. The
reason for letting the rolls rise Logger than
the loaves is that the rolls being smaller,
heat penetrates them much more quickly
than it does the loaf, and of course fermen-
tation is stopped sooner; therefore the small
rolls do not rise 50 much in the oven as the
large loaves. The best sized pan for loaves
is made of block tin, eight and half inch
es long, four and half wide and three
deep. Rolls should be made into smooth
little balls, and should be placed in even
rows in shallow pan. Dinner or French
rolls are first made into little balls, and put
on well-foured board; little rolling pin,
two and half inches in circumference, is
then well Toured and pressed nearly through
the centre of the little balls of dough; they
are then placed in the pans, but should not
touch each other. Being so small and bak-
ing so quickly, they have very sweet taste

should be cut during next week. IT we de-
sire first class hay these must be cut while in
bloom, and since the ground is now satura-
ted with water, we are not only sure of
heavy first crop but also of most excellent
crop of rowen. The early grasses do not
usually make thick bottom, but the heavy
crop of rowen which follows fully compen-
safes for other deficiencies.
Grass cut in June, and particularly when
the ground is somewhat damp and cool, re-
quires more care and time in making prop
erly than is the case with such grass as is
cut after the middle of July, at which latter
time the ground is dry and hot, while the
water which may not have combined with
the fibre of the grass is expelled without
much labor. In times gone by much more
labor was expended on haymaking than was
necessary. In fact, moving by hand was
often made very laborious occupation be-
cause the boys learned to NOW before they
understood the sharpening of their scythes,
and laboring with dull scythe under Ju-
ly sun was labor indeed. Now much of the
labor of haymaking has been transferred to
the horse. With the moving machine, the
rake, the tedder and finally the horse-forK
the grim face of haying has smoothed his
wrinkled front, and the young farmer is en-
abled to secure his most important crop
with ease and certainty, as compared with
former practice. Provided with the most
approved implements and favored with,
good weather, all the progressive farmer
needs is twenty four hours time from the
cutting of the grass to the placing of the
b ay upon the mows in his barn.
In converting grass into hay, 1t is impor-
tant to preserve intact all the best elements
of the former with the least possible loss.
This can only be secured through early cut
ting and prompt harvesting. Large quanti-
ties of hay are reduced in value through ov-
er-making. Grass cut when just in bloom
furnishes the best hay, though if but one
variety of grass was cultivated it would be
impossible to cut it all at just the right mo-
ment. Before completing the hay harvest
part of the grass would have matured its
seed, and the dry stalks would only rank
with the best straws of our cereals. Those
farmers, however, who cultivate variety of
grasses may time their operations with
greater certainty and success. securing the
notwithstanding grasses in the barn before
the later-maturing varieties are ready to
cut. Such practice tends greatly to re-
duce the labors and anxieties of the farmer
during the haying season, enabling him to
take his work more leisurely and removing
the necessity of hiring extra help. Were
the attempt made to harvest the present
enormous crops of hay by the old methods,
large quantities would rot upon the ground
for want of help to make it. Notwithstand-
ing the jealousy of laboring man towards la
bor-saving machinery on the farm, yet its

The Household
Moth Preventive.


A correspondent of the Furniture Gazette
recommends the following remedy for ex-
terminating moths in carpets and furniture.
After some years of experience with the
troublesome pests, says the writer, l found
sure preventive of moth in pitch paper,
the same as roofers use. The moth will
live and grow on cayenne pepper and tobac
CO, while never could see that the use of
these articles kept the moth miller out.
The plan for the furniture dealer or house
wife is to cut the paper in slips and place
about the room, under and behind sofas,
chairs, etc; this should be done as early as
the middle of April, and in warm climates
earlier. If the dealer wishes to make parlor
suits moth proof he should place on the in
side of backs of chairs and seats, small
strips of pitch paper, and rest assured that
the miller will not select these places to de-
post eggs. 1t is the miller that is the
foundation of all the mischief
