Music in China and japan.

Nations which have the gift OF aris-
tic coloring and harmony of design
arc almost invariably lacking in the
harmony of musical sound. Chinese

the extreme, and their singing has
been aptly compared "to series OF
monotonous, high-toned falsetto notes,
resembling the sad bowling OF the
wind in storm or the wall Of a ban.
shee."
This arises, not from physical in.
capacity, but from want of knowledge
OF music as IN art. There are no sweet
singers among japanese and Chinese
birds. The lark, blackbird, nightin-
gale, thrush and mocking bird are un.
known, so the melancholy cries of the
gull, the hawk, and the kite seem to
serve as models for the walls and
shrieks of their uncultured human
voices. Detroit Free Press.

ART IN BREADMAKINd.

AAI AAN DINGAOcAahAISus
At the same lesson where Mrs Rorer
treated Vienna bread she also took up
whole wheat bread, which is considered
extremely nutritious and wholesome.
1t was a noticeable fact that the
dough and sponge of the whole wheat
bread was entirely different from that
of the Vienna. In the pan it was
weighty to the touch, and on the
kneading board proved itself far from
elastic. The whole wheat is the grain
robbed of the husk. 1t is heterogeneous
and contains phosphates, therefore it
is most nutritious, and away and be-
yond the white bread in the matter Of
healthful properties. The recipe for
this is one quart of liquid, which may
be one-half milk and one-half water.
Scald the milk and add the water to it.
When lukewarm add one cake of dis
solved yeast, one teaspoonful OF salt
and sufficient whole wheat -four to
make dough, like white bread. Knead
until soft and elastic, cover in bowl
or pan and let it stand three hours,
then mould, put in CREASED square pan
and stand aside for one hour; after
which bake in moderately slow oven.
A flour rich in gluten soon becomes
elastic. Keep the sponge ut the first
kneading at temperature of sixty
eight to seventy degrees. To make
sure OF your yeast, never use cake
that is the least bit soft or has any
other odor than that which belongs to
it by nature. The esguare loaf requires
a slow oven, the more slender Vienna
form quick one.
In homemade yeast there is ming
ling of weeds, as yeast of this order is
unoultivated, while in the German
variety all the weeds have been ex-
plunged, and in one tiny cake there
are ten thousand times as many yeast
germs as in q cup of homemade yeast.
Corn bread was next taken up, and
the recipe for that was given as fol-
lows: One-half pint of boiling water,
mixed with one.half pint of corn -four
until sthe combination is free from
lnmps and is perfectly smooth. Add
one-half cup of milk and place on the
fire, cooking until it is scalded; add
one-half q yeast cake, one-helf tea.
spoonful of salt and sufficient wheat
-four to make a thin dough.
Add this -four slowly and finally tip
the bowl toward you and beat vigorous
ly for few minutes. Nearly all bread
requires kneading, and this portion of
the process of bread making is largely
the secret of its success or failure. II
should be done lightly, delicately, but
very thoroughly, and with the ball Of
the hand.-New York journal.

, ably safe to hitch to wagon for
work, and for family horse they de-
mand this disposition.
1t is only by constant little atten-
tions. care and thought that tho ideal
driving horse is evolved. First, the
younster is shy and afraid of every
thing it sees. 1t is at times clumsy
and listless, dragging one or more of
its feet carelessly and contracting i'm
proper carriage. mien and gait With
regular daily training before it is three
years old, but for five minutes often,
in the hands of a skilled man, the
faults are eliminated and vast lot OF
good practices are inculcated, so that,
as a horse, the growing creature is
rounded into q willing, obedient and
ever ready servant, beast almost
human in knowledge and fully SO in
kindly actions and intentions.
In many humble stable may be
found such prizes, and they are often
treasured as being above price. The
owner at times would not part with
the family horse as he would not let
60 one of his children. The vicious
and dull horse is forced on the market
SO much that the really desirable horse
must suffer from suspicion that he is
not all that is to be desired.
1t is an outrage that well-bred,
highly-trained, sensitive, loving ami
NAL should be sacrificed by his owner
at the price offered for Indifferent
horse flesh. 1t is criminal when one
sells an ill-dispositioned or weak ami
NAL for great price. When there is
an awakening of conscious among both
sellers and buyers better things will
result.
Farmers will not for many years
grow good horses at financial loss.
Those who work and drive them will
not long continue to be deceived.

Hand In Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this Is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse power engine Is made

Office will "bolt " his food in a few min

too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg Of nails would be in a

refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready

nourishnent they require from the blood,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Spring lambs and mutton sheep will
make sheep breeding permanent in
dustry.
If orchards are to be made profit.
able, they must receive as good care as
other crops.
Have purpose in feeding, and feed
for that purpose. Do not feed merely
to keep the hens alive and satisfy their
hunger.
Do not expect many eggs unless the
hens are in a bright, healthy condi-
ton. Neglect neither food, exercise,
cleanliness nor protection.
All the small grains are good for
fowls, especially wheat. Wheat is bet
ter than corn oven, except when forcing
the fattening process for market.
A month previous to weaning, the
more grain the calves, pigs. lambs and
colts have the better. They will not
lose 80 much flesh and worry less.
If you want to know what your abili.
ties as poultry keeper are, just look
at the egg basket and then count your
hens. That tells the story every time.
Better buy thoroughbred oggs or
fowls than try to grade up the COM
mon stock, because it saves time, and
going up hill is not always successful
work. Get the best.
1t is great loss to feed dry COWS
through the winter on hay and grain
merely to carry them through the sea-

When tho porker is fat enough, sell
him. After he hos passed 250 pounds,
it is doubtful if the average farmer
can put another ounce on him with
profit. 1t is the profit we are after.

pEErs GROWN FROM BUDS.

Every grower of beets has noticed
the small buds that appear near the
top of the root. These are indeed
miniature plants. and if cut out and
planted, just as potato eyes are each
will next season produce q perfect
beet plant with as large a root down
ward as one grown from seed. It may
seem that there can be no practical
object in growing beets thus, for it is
always easy to grow beet seed. But
it is found that when high grade of
sugar beet has been secured by sowing
strains of the sweetest beets there is a
tendency to retrograde in quality.
Hence some beet sugar growers in
Europe are experimenting in growing
from the bud. Having once obtained
root with high per cent. of sugar
the quality can be maintained by
growing stock from buds. It is pos
sible that this process if continued
long will tend to establish growth
of beet roots with many prongs and
shoots. This form of growth would
be Objectionable rs making the beet
less compact. Boston Cultivator.
