Economy in the Kitchen.

We are not apt to think Of bread
as an expensive article Of food, and
yet on bread a saving of so per
cent. may be made by using the
homemade article instead of the
bakers ware. In other words IL
costs about twice as much to buy
bread asst dues To make it at home,
and when one considers how much
more healthful the latter article is,
il seems strange that SO many fam
lilies are content TO do without it.
Almost any cook or general house.

difficulty to make good bread, es.

you will have it. would strong.
ly urge the necessity Of setting first
a sponge, not too thick; secondly,
Of kneading this well a few hours
later; and, thirdly, Of a fual, thor.
ough Sneading, before putting the
bread into pans, According to our
experience the functionary will
shirk one kneading il she can, and
the bread suffers in consequence =
Another advantage Of using home.
made bread is that the cook is less
apt TO waste it, because she will
want to save herself the trouble
Of making more. One thrifty house
keeper Of our acquaintance always
keeps the bread ander her own con.
troll, cutting of a sufficient supply
for the kitchen and parlor at each
meal, Certain it is that bread is
very apt 10 be wasted, and we have
seen, in at least one kitchen, a
large drawer completely filed with
old bread, the greater part of which
of course, had to be thrown away.
Potatoes are also very apt to be
wasted. Many careless cooks will
not take the trouble TO calculate
nicely how many they will need
for a meal, and so will always have
a large quantity left, much Of
which, even ii warmed over, will
eventually hnd lis way to the re.
