Remarks About Bread.

The secret Of bread-making lies in
the art ofputiing all the -four in the
first mixing if added afterwards, it
does not have the whole fermentation
Of the yeast. The baking of bread has
much to do with its quality that can
be learned by practice.
BREAD MADE BY RHYME.
fut three quarts Of -four in great big bowl,
And right in the middle make hole
Three teaspoonfuIs of sugar and one Of salt,
one-baf cup Of strong yeast, free from fault,
one pint OF water and little lard -
Let II rise till tes-time, then roll up hard,
let It stand till bedtime. then knead again:
iu' IN your best icks' now with might and
linen early next morning just take 1t once
more,
Work i well. cut it up, don't put In any -four
shape 1t out into rolls and put in your pan,
Have ii rise once more a. quickly as Won can
Then put in your oven and thoroughly heat IL
And II its not good. I'llcome help you eat it,
BREAD. Made sir years tcithout failure. !
Take three quarts of flour, and one
cup yeast. Mix the yeast lighdy in
the middle of the -four with little sal,
added. 10 this quantity add about three
cups luke-warm water; different fours
need more or less water. Let it stand
till night. then mix all to stiff dough-
and keep warm to rise. In the morn.
ing knead it down in the bread. par
and let it rise again. then mold lightly
on board for the pans, using only a
sprinkling of flour to prevent sticking
to the board. Cover the pans when
the loaves are ready and set in a warm
place to rise for the oven. When suffic-
iently light, bake nell, and you will
have bread that is delicious.

When Should Ducks Lay2

February is the time they usually be-
Gin but sometimes. if carefully housed
and cared for, they will begin earlier.
We have known the Pekins to begin
laying when only five months old, but
eggs from such young birds do not
hatch well. unless the females are mated
with an old drake. The eggs from
ducks bring nearly double the price of
hens eggs in market, and as the duck
will lay from 100 to lao eggs she is q
very valuable fowl.

To where the snoWclad hills arise
And reckless urchins swiftly coast.

His steel-shod sled our mutual toy,
Ills wishes echo my desire.
Down sweeping fights, with merry cheers,
We fly as swallows skim the shore,

And am ten again; no more.
My boyish pride comes back to me,
My boyhoOd's skill and courage, too;
l bid the Prince stand back and see
The way that papa used TO do.
Alone climb the highest hill
And poise the sled upon its brow;
In wonder lost the Prince stands still,
And listens for ny warning "NowI"
Swifter than winged thought Hy,
And when my flight is nearly through,
Into the air mile or two.
And down that dizzy, Keeling track,
Like twenty men and sleds go,
While up my legs and down my back
Packs fifteen thousand pounds of snow.

And feebly share the Princes fun;
For som ething tells my buEzing brain
That am really forty-one.

Shouts "'Fraid cstl 'Fraid satl" afte
