should, however, hang with hinges a
board jointed close, near the bottom,
and another near the top. These
should be left open until it becomes
cold, and should be opened again as
soon as the weather grows warm in
the spring. This allows circulation
of air and dries out the moisture from
the walls of the silo to prevent decay,

ing ench Of which IL may gather the
dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands AS no bread save that
raised with yeast. goes through this
long process of raising and kneading
so no bread save that raised with yeast
has so good a chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" bread Is
worth II few words. The introduction
of the yeast into the moist dough and
the addition of heat when the pan is
placed near the fire produces an epor-
nous growth of the yeast fungi-the
yeast germ" in other words. These
fungi effect destructive fermentation
of portion of the starchy matter of
the flour--one of the most valuable
nutrient elements in the flour. The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is whaa is
called raising the bread.

Is, III luS euecoS oh oio uouBi, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
| before close-grained 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 il
from all sides. The fermentation ot
the dough, however, uses up portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf

ENGLISH noLp CLOTHES"
Travels of the Cast-ofY Garments Bought
I'm by the Jews Of London.

Up by the Jews OF London.
The cry of "Ogh clo," which is said
TO have so irritatcd Coleridge on one oc-
casion that he demonstrated with the
Jew who was giving it, is often heard
in parts of London. 1t heralds the APP
proach of the buyers of these cast-off
articles, which are furbished up,
secured, cleaned, pressed and then sold
again. The travels of old clothes are
very curious.
The persons who prepare them for
sale are called in England by the
strange names of "clobberers," "re-
vivers" and "translators, The duty of
the "clobberer" is, by patching and
sewing up, to restore the garment to its
original appearance.
"Revivers" try to make black cloth
garments look as good as new again,
and succeed quite well, although the
gloss they pus on soon passes off The
"translator's" work is of higher kind:
he has to change one garment into an
other; for instance, to make waist
coats or tunics for children out of
the skirts of mans coat, which are
the least worn part.
Black cloth clothes that are too far
gone to be "clobbered" or revived
are sent to France, Russia and Poland,
to be made into caps which all the
working people of these countries
wear.

Putting UP Butter.

"Did you ever try putting up butter
in glass jars?" asks Landa A. Zigler, in
the Housekeeper's Weekly 1--WE put
some up in June and used it in October
and it was almost as fresh as when put
up. The jars were filled by putting in
a small lump of butter, then pressing
it down we'll with piece of hard wood
made 70 fit the mouth of the jar; then
putting in more and pressing it down

MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBvAY, MASS.

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of flumor, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war

When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles Passing
through them; the same with the Liver or

stopped, and always disappears in week
