be deposited on il. Bread raised with
yeast is worked down or kneaded twice
before being baked and this process
may take anywhere from four hours TO
ten. IL has, then, the chance of col
lecting disease germs during this pro-
cess Of raising and il has two periods
of working down or kneading during
each Of which IL may gather the dirt
containing the germs from the baker s
hands. As no bread save that raised
with yeast, goes through this long
process of raising and kneading 80 no
bread save that raised with yeast has
so good n chance of gathering germs.
What is meant by "raising" bread
is worth n few words. The introduc-
tion 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 fermentation produces carhonic
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.
1t needs but II glance t> see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
before n close-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, aud when cooked
in this condition is what We ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach 90 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 II portion

strength has been found superior to

know, IL is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
avoids the long period during which
the Yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may ferment and
there is also no kneading necessary.
Tho two materials used in the Royal,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless, even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compensating
weights, so that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav-
ing been taken up to form the carbon-
ic acid gas. More than this, the
proper method OF using the powder
insures the most thorough mixing
with the flour. The proper quantity

and stirred around in il. The mix.

this insurcs that in every part of the

HOLD YOUR GRAIN.
Prominent Grain Dealers Advise Stacking
and Thoroughly Curing Grain Be-
fore Threshing.

To the farmers in Minnesota and Da-
kota: The further we get along with the
financial question, the more clearly we
see that the farmers and the general
public do not fully realize the critical
financial situation throughout the
country. Judging from u correspon-
dence, it seems the farmers calculate to
thresh their grain from the shock and
rush it into the market, not realizing
the bad effect this would have on the
markets OF the world. The situation 10,
that there is not sufficient currency to
do business with. The banks are all an
willing to cash drafts on bills Of lading
or advance money on warehouse receipts
for grain in the safest public elevators.
Now a few Of the farmers will be
obliged to sell some OF their product for
harvesting expenses and other forced
obligations, which will absorb all the
money held by the country merchants.
When that is exhausted there does not
seem to be any way to handle the crops
until times improve. II receipts should
be as large a usual, grain and seed could
not be scld for cash at any price.
The farmer himself holds the key to
the situation. II every one that can,
will hold back their grain and seeds by
stacking and letting it cure thoroughly
and keep it off of market, say until the
middle of September, and this fact should
become generally understood, foreign
demand would be stronger; whereas, il
there be any considerable forward move
ment of the new crop, foreigners will be
afraid of the American situation and q
farther decline, and they will Withhold
orders.
The farmer can not make money any
easier or safer than by stacking and hold
ing back his grain. The situation was
never more strongly in his favor than at
present. The prices are at the lowest,
and If farmers will take advantage OF the
situation, there can be NJ doubt but
that prices will advance materially and
money will be more plenty. IL there
was any large volume Of grain or seeds
now to go on the market, it would force
prices lower than at present, and it
would take a great deal longer to bring
the situation back to its normal con
dition. S. Y. HYDE ELEVATOR Go.
