Cracks in Bread Loayes.

The cracks in loaves are caused usually by
too much -four being used in the kneading,
making the loaf too stiff. When the batter is
set at night sufficient flour is added to make
it pour thickly from spoon. In the morning,
when kneading. only enough flour should be
added to keep the dough from sticking to the
hands and the board. and practice in knead-
ing makes this quantity much less than at
the first trial. Bread should be turned in the
oven while baking. so that all sides may be
baked equally. or be exposed to equal heat,
as this sometimes makes the cracks.

tween 5000 and $500 on Mendcant saturday.
a great many people believe that Jones has inn

that Carley H. was TO pay the lad 500 every
