Throughout the country and to the
masses bread Is served in Il light, puffed-
III condition. absolutely tastelcss and
deficient in nutritive qualities. The
bread Of France is made and baked in
such condition that it is almost a crust.
tho starch has been partially converted
into deXtrose by the heat oven, and, as
the crust requires thorough mastica-
ton, it is quite impossible for a per-
son to suffer from indigestion from such
French bread, while our soft American
bread, the more it is masticated the
heavier 1t becomes, and. by the time
one is ready to swallow IL, it is in most
perfect dough pills; moreover, 1t is
lightly or slackly baked; the yeast plant
in many cases not being killed, it enters
he stomach, and in a little time the
bread eater has ycasty fermentation,
which produces in the %intestines serious
trouble.

The buyers a not S '>.~~n. and there
is Il veritable scarcity of big heavy
draft horses or large stylish coachers,
yet many wonder why horses r so
cheap. They refuse to breed what the
market wants, and the market refuses
to pay a decent price for the common
horses that are presented for sale. The
whole world wants the big, heavy draft
horses. American farmers can raise
them, and they will raise them Of the
right kind when they come to under
stand the market requirements.-Livc

That We should import green peas,
canned, from Europe, when such a crop
can be grown in every section of the
United States, is not very creditable.
They are always readily salable in win
ter, which is demonstrated by the fact
that we send abroad for them, and
they bring good prices. Here is an
opening for some Of our farmers to
combine, build u canning factory and
grow green peas. They will prove more
profitable than cereal crops.

Points on Cake Making.

Use a small brush for buttering pans,
but when it begins to shed bristles
throw 1t away, as there is no nom
in trying to use it longer. Use a palette
knife for scraping the cake bowl, be.
cause it is sc pliable asto take outevery
atom of the mixture.
When putting n cake mixture in tho
pan be sure to spread it well into the
corners. even if there is a depression in
the center. as this will keep the loaf
from rising too much in the center.
If the cake bakes too rapidly on the
bottom slip an asbestos plate under.
The plan of setting a cup of water in
the oven to lessen the heat is not to be
commended. 1t would be even better
to set the owe door slightly ajar.
When Il cake is taken out OF tho pan
do not put it on to Il wire cooler or
rack, which will leave marks on it, but
turn it on to an old linen cloth.
Loosen the cake from the pan around
the edges, but do not let the pan stand
around before the cake is taken out.
II the cake does not come out readily
lay a wet cloth @ the top OF the pan.
Sift powdered sugar before using.
A triiie more flour is needed in q cake
if made in summer than winter.
If eggs are chilled they will beat
easier.
BE careful not to use too much bak-
ing powder in n cake, as it will make
it porous and dry.
1t makes little difference whether \
cake is warm or cold when the frostins
is put cn.-Grange Homes.

One cause of weeds flourishing on
some soils is that they thrive on plant
foods left Over by the grain crop, a
condition which renders the soil i'm
poverished for other grain crops, vet
very fertile for weeds because the
weeds are able to get a good start,
make rapid growth, c II abundant
moisture below the surface, and de-
prive the land of that which was not
utilized by the crops, the result being
that the soil is still further impover-
fshed. This may be prevented by
growing root crops after corn, to be
followed by clover or some grass crop.

The Farmer.

H>~R>
there is not only a greater consump-
ton. but more variety is sought. If the
world has changed and electricity is
beginning to supplant horses and men,
the. farm Is not exempt from the il,flu-
ence Of progress. The articles used
As food, and the dishes prepared. are
very different from those Of Il century
ago. Many fruits and vegetables now
in general use were unknown at the
beginning of the present century. II
the farmer is to keep pace with those
engaged In other industries, he must
change his methods and his crops, to
correspond with conditions not Of his
W choosing, and meet the consumers
of his products with commodities of
Il kind better adapted to their wants,
and not such as he may prefer to grow
for himself. Every year witnesses
something new in the field Of agricul-
ture, and no farmer should be content
to follow 4 beaten path, but should
branch out and endeavor to take adj
vantage Of every opportunity for pro-
ducing something on the farm that " i'll
afford him a larger profit than he Sc
cured the previous year.
The fact is conceded that the low
prices for grain are caused by the
cheapening of the cost by the use Of
improved labor-saving implements and
machinery on the farm, and the day
when Il crop must be cultivated be-
III it requires less labor than some
other has passed. The crops that pay
best now are those that are the most
costly to produce, because they are
grown less abundantly than the cheap
er kinds. Corn, wheat and oats are
grown at o%ne-fourth the cost of former
times, and the old prices will never
return unless the misfortune of a fam
inc should occur. which is hardly pos
sible in a country with such diversity
Of climate as ours. There are crops
grown in this country which apparent
ly are very large, but which do not
supply our home markets, and among
them are potatoes and onions, and this
is due to the fact that they require
more labor than corn or wheat. Beans,
peas, apples, cherries, ounces and
some of the garden crops are often be-
low the amount required for the sup
ply of the home markets.
1t is not supposed that farmers will
suddenly revolutionize their methods,
but it will be an advantage for them
to study the markets and statistics,
and endeayor to learn what may be re-
quired. Labor should always be con-
siderc1 in growing a special crop, for
it enters into the prices and the re-
Enumeration, for such expense is never
overlooked. 1t is labor that makes the
value, and, while it is we'll to cheaper
the labor, yet the amount Of labor re-
quired should never deter one from
growing a crop. A crop that pays well
n year may not be profitable the
next, as there is an inducement, by
higher prices, for the farmers to seek
the crop that pays best, but there are
too many farmers who adhere closely
to certain crops and thereby fail to
secure the highest prices or largest
profit. The progressive farmer will
keep himself we'll Informed, and be
always prepared to avail himself of
the advantages open by growing a va
riety Of crops in order to satisfy the
demands of all Observation-Disclosures
Record.

not conducive to a peaceful state of
mindto run up against a rock or stump
and be suddenly elevated over the plow
handle O have the handles strike one
violently in the ribs.
Strengthening Crooked Streams.
All natural streams over land are
more or less crooked, as they bend first
one way then another to avoid obstruc-
tons. In making artificial open bitches
there is at first an almost irresistible
tendency to follow the natural course
and simply deepen it. But after the
ditch is cut, if it is a cultivated field
the crooked places in it make serious
difficulties for the plow, the harrow,
c%ultivator and the moving machine.
Only for q pasture lot is the winding
rivulet running through a field allowa-
bic, provided it can easily be remedied.
BY Strengthening an open drain and
putting sewer pipe in it the ditch may
be filed and plowed over, making a
rich, cultivable field of what was orig
inally only fit for growing coarse and
inferior grasses.-Ex.
