Japan Clover.
j. w. MoGARvEY,

The JsEn clover is spreading over
the Southern States. 1t was introduce
ed there nobody knows how, during
the latter years of the war, and has
since then become so common. that it
appears in any locality attracts no at
tention. Nobody knows how it
spreads. 1t appears mysteriously in a
place where it never was before and
where it is difficult to explain how the
seeds could have come. 1t grows lux
nrfantly and answers all the purposes
of common clover, crowding out the
different grasses and all kinds of
weeds This same clover grows in the
mountains of Eastern Ky.

STERLING. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, DECEMBER s. 1898

prsisement are to be settled, and the
directness of appeals on points of law,
will be An advantage under a tariff
where nearly all the duties are ad va
loren. It is doubtful policy, how
ever, to have taken away the penalty
duties for false declarations.
The system of collecting duties on
an cd ysiorem basis is certainly the
only fair one in theory; and the coun-
try will gladly welcome Mr.. Wilson's
statement that it is not more produc-
tive Of fraud through under-valuation
than the system of specific duties now
in vogue.
The bill then, as a whole, holds out
fair hopes of fulfilling the Democratic
promises to the country and, in doing
that, of conferring in cheapened neces-
stiles of life blessing upon the peo-
pie. Its defective details and occa-
sional friction with the fundamental
aud approved principles of the party
may be righted in Committee of the
whole, and in many important particu-
lars we believe will be. The def
cheney that is promised, for several
reasons that may be demonstrated, is
rather acceptable than otherwise. 1t
can be met, too, in manner that will
net be oppressive. And in conclusion
itshould be deemed matter for UNI
doubted congratulation, even if there
be an exception or two brought about
by on unusual stress of circumstances,
that the Committee has in so very
many instances completely disregard
ed the selfish and shameless demands
of protection even when coming, as
was often the case, from their own
Democratic districts.

How a Republican Does Hate to
Let Go.

Quite heated interview took place
at the Custom House this morning be-
tween Surveyor Afford and his pre-
decessor, Col. Collier. The former
summarily discharged Will Collier,
Col. Golfers son, to make room for
one OF his appointees, and Col. Collier
thought that Afford was ungrateful,
as young Collier has practically run
the office since the new Surveyor took
charge Post.

The State ofNevada had 1900 farms
which have lately been reclaimed from
the arid desert by irrigation. 1t is
believed that when more money has
been used to irrigate its lands and
make them productive, Nevada's pop

Hazelrigg's store yesterday. Some
one had come in and set down an
ol&musket. Jimmie Jones coming
in began examining the old ''speci-

was discharged, the load striking
the wall, and from the vicious way
it tore off the plastering, showed
how much damage it might have
done. Clarence Hazelrigg and Ed.

What is meant by raising" bread

is worth a few words The introduc-
ton OF the yeast into the moist dough
and the addition of heat when the pan
is PLACED near the fire produces an
enormous growth of the yeast fungi.
the yeast GERM in other words.
These fungi effect destructive fer
mentation OF portion of the starchy
matter Of the four-one of the most
valuable nutrient elements in the -four.
The fermentation produces carbonic
acid gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
, which is itself everywhere in the -four,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.
It needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical The dough, which was
before a close-grainsd mass, is now,
full OF little holes, and when cooked
in this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality Of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it,
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up a portion,
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
If it be possible, therefore, to produce
a light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the "kneading'
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising pro-
cess goes on, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the
dangers which attend the use of yeast
it is certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect 1t is apparent
that if we are to substitute any other
system OF bread making we must have
one which will giveus, first, mechanical
results equally as good, that is, that
will produce minute bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout the mass
Of dough- Now it is III no way diff.
cult to produce carbonic acid gas
chemically, but when we are working
at bread we must use such chemicals
as are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lien of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas. A good baking pow
der does it's work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap-
pears.

HOW TO WASH DISHES,

Do you know how to wash dishes
Not merely SO that you get them of
the kitchen table into the china closet
but SO that the despised and dreaded
task becomes almost pleasure. This
is the way to accomplish that result.
AS soon as the cooking is done, fill
all the cooking utensils with water and
leave them to soak. When the meal is
ended scrape all the plates clean-not
with knife, for that scratches an
nicks-but with soft piece OF left
over bread. Put the plates in oaa
pile, the saucers in another, the cups,
emptied of their DRAWINGS, together,
and the glass and silver together.
Have bowl of water cool enough to
allow your hand to remain in it few
minutes without scalding, but hot, and
wash the glasses with soap in that.
Dry them as fast as they are washed
If you let them stand upon a tray the
air dries them, and does it in streaks
where the water is trickling down
Have soft, clean, lintless cloth for
this purpose.
Then wash the silver; the water
should be very hot for this. If there
are any crevices, clean them with a
brush kept for the purpose. Dry on q
clean towel and polish with silver
powder.
Next wash your cups and saucers-
one at time. Use a mop with a han
die, and don't, in this day and genera
ton, be without one of those wire
kitchen conveniences known as soap
shaker. Wipe each cup and saucer
before putting it out of your hand, or
it will dry partially and streakily, and
be rough to the touch. After tho
cups and saucers, wash the plates in
the same way. Then clean the tins,
and then the pots and pans
To clean knives, rub with d soft
flannel dipped in powdered bath
brick, or in wood ashes. Never let the
ivory handles be dipped in hot water
Tins may be kept in a state of daz-
cling Brightness by being rubbed
with sifted wood ashes or with whitan-
ing.
Copper utensils should be scourel
with brick dust and flannel
The dish cloths and mops should be
washed, scalded and dried after each
using. The towels should never be
thrown aside in damp lump, but
should be hung to dry, AMI then
dropped into the kitchen hamper
against washing day.
The dishpan should be thoroughly
washed with soap and sateT, secured
and rinsed with scalding water, driel
and hung on its own hook. Then the
sink should be secured and rinssd with
scalding water, in which common soda
has been dissolved. New York World

is almost certain thai they will be
there Now, UNDERGONE or doughty
bread is form which every man and
woman has seen.
1t is a belief as old as the hills that
underdone bread is unhealthful This
reputation has been earned for it by
the experience OF countless genera
tions, and no careful mother Will wish
her children to eat bread that has not
been thoroughly cooked. The reason
given for this recognized unhealthful-
ness has been that the unlocked yeas
dough is very difficult to digest. No
one but physician would be apt to
think of disease germs which have not
been killed during the process Of bak-
ing as cause OF the sickness following
the use of uncooked yeast bread. Yet
this result from this cause is more than
probable. [ have not the slightest
