To Test tho Heat OF the Oven.

The French method of testing the
heat OF an oven is a very simple one.
It is done with piece of white paper.
If the oven is too hot the paper will
blaclxen or blaze up; If it becomes q
light brown the oven is right for pastry;
if it turns a dark yellow the tempera-
ture is proper for baking bread and
the heavier kinds of cake; if light yell
low it is just fit for sponge cakes and
the lighter desserts.
