Here, then. there is no chance for

than that the bread is necessarily as

no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
SO made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.

folly of follies to open a single chan

dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands. As no bread save that
raised with yeast, goes through this
long process of raising and lsneading
SO no bread save that raised with yeast
has SO good a chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" bread is
worth 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 four-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 -four.
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room This is what is
called raising the bread.
1t needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough. which was
before a 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 it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.

struction and without the ''kneading"

a NEW BONANZA.


Doubling the Price OF Wheat by Convert
Ing It into Hogs.
The low price of wheat, and the ten
dency to still lower prices. seems to
present an opportune time to call the
attention of the farmers of the wheat
districts in northern Minnesota and
the Dakotas to the high price of hogs.
At the present prices OF hogs recent
experiments seem to demonstrate that
by fattening hogs on wheat, the farmer
may realize more than 81 per bushel
for his wheat, now worth at the farm
40 to SO cents, and which, after freight
has been paid to Minneapolis or Duluth,
is worth only about 60 or 63 cents. At
present prices. the largest car load of
wheat u,o00 bushels) in st. Paul is
worth only about $500. while a car load
of hogs of the same weight. 100000
pounds) would be worth $500.
The hog natures at the age Of SIX to
nine months Hence if 1t is true that
50-cent wheat when turned into pork
becomes worth more than 81 bushel.
the business of raising hogs by the
wheat farmer promises large profits
and quick returns.
Now let us see what evidence there
is upon the value of wheat for fatten-
ing hogs.
Upon this point the following state
ment has been made: "a farmer in one
of the best corn and wheat counties in
central Illinois was SO reluctant the
past season to sell his wheat at the pre-
vailing prices that he thought he would
convert it into pork. He was greatly
pleased at the result. He had 81, 600
worth Of hogs, and fattened them al
most on wheat, using q. little corn. His
method was to soak the wheat in warm
water twentyfour hours before feed
ing. In cold weather he let the water
come to boil in the kettle and then
poured in the wheat and put out the
fire. When it cooled it was soaked
enough and ready to feed, which he did
Immediately. He weighed the hogs be-
fore commencing to feed and kept a.
strict account of the weights of all grain
fed; also figured the corn at IS cents
and the fat hogs at ~ cents. Said he:
The wheat just brought me s1.O1 per
bushel.'"
From this statement it would seem
that wheat is worth s1.o1 per bushel to
pound. The present price of hogs in
st. Paul market is Sc cents, which. on
the above basis, would make wheat
worth 81 25 per bushel.
The writer is informed that during
the last few months twenty-four full
carloads of fat hogs have been sold at
the South St. Paul market which were
raised in northern Dakota and fattened
entirely on wheat, sometimes fed in the
manner pointed out by the Illinois
farmer and sometimes converted into a
rude graham -four" before feeding.
The unanimous testimony of the raisers
has been to the effect that by feeding it
they had realized over one dollar per
bushel for their wheat. The quality of
the product of such hogs is said to be
superior to the product of the corn-fed
animals. If this is true. it seems to open
up the possibility to the wheat farm
ers of Introducing to the markets of the
world a brand of American pork which
in time would become as famous as
Minnesota hard wheat, and, like it,
the highest prices and the
best markets.
It is certainly matter worthy of
consideration.-A. B. Stickney.
