teacup OF sugar aud one heaping table
spJon Of salt. With a fork beat and
mis- bfisbly; the longer you beat. the
lighter the sponge will be. When cool,
add one yeast cake, soaked. Set away
in q rather warm place over night In
the morning sift your -four IN the mix
ing caWl. and to the potato sponge,
sitter taking a teacupful out and putt
ting in o self-sealiug can for your next
baking, put as much warm water in
proportions as you wish to make bread;
for six rather small loaves use three
piuts of water. Stir into your -four,
mix thoroughly and kuead your dough
well, Work in all the -four you can;
put in a bowl 10 raise. When the bulk
is almost doubled, which will be in two
or three hours, according to the
warmth Of the dough, punch down with
the fists; leave in the bowl to raise
again. In about an hour it win be
ready to mold into loayes. Use as little
-four as possible in molding the ]Ioavesi
grease your baking-pan and also the
l%oaves, being careful to grease we'll
between the loaves, when double their
bulk, rub the top with a wet cloth. and
put in a moderate oven to bake one
hour. If you do not have a deep bread
pan, take stiff paper cut in strips two
or three inches wide, pin together I'M
til long enough to reach around your
pan. just before putting In the oven,
slip this paper around the pan. 1t
will prevent the dough spreading over
The sides Of the pan. Don't have your
oven too hot. II should be so that the
cook can hold her hand 10 and count
20 rather quickly. Have the fire so
that it will get hotter for about 20 min
utes. then gradually cool down, After
mixing the dough, keep covered with a
warm cloth. The oven is q good place
to raise bread in if you are certain it
is not too warm, The day before the
next baking prepare potatoes, sugar
and salt the same as before, but in
stead Of using a yeast cake, use the tea
cupful Of potato sponge saved before.
The bread will he better than before,
and you can save out a teacup Of potato
sponge each time! II you bake bread
as often as once a week you win not
need to use yeast again for six months
or a year.-W. A.. Clearwaters, in La

A most interesting field of investiga-
ton is presented by the rhythm Of In
sect sounds. When a large number Of
crickets are chirping at night in a field
they do so synchronously keeping time
as If led by the baton Of q conductor.
Prof. A. +. Dolbe6r says that the rate Of
chirp is apparently determined by the
temperature. So invariably is this the
case that when the number Of chirps
per minute is known the temperature
with certainty can be estimated. AT a
temperature Of 60 degrees Fahrenheit
the rate is so per minute, and at 70 de-,
grees IT is 1870 per minute. This gives
a change of four chirps per minute for
aach channe Of one aegree.

It is not a good plan to begin sheep
breeding on the assumption that be-
rus sheep are good scavengers they
may be proftably used for this purpose
alone, and kept on the farm for nothing.
Sheep Ike weeds and keep them nsub-
lection, but unfortunately weeds are
not the best and most nutritious feed
that may be given 70 the sheep. II you
begin keeping sheep do it because you
want to make money out Of them by
giving them good care. They viii pay
you then better than any other live
stock you can invest in and you need
not worry about stampedes, low fences
and other things that cattlemen worry

The following recipe for gaining
weight is seriously proposed by an
eastern physician Of note: Eat yege-
tables and sleep after each meal. Go to
bed at nine O'Clock and lie in bed half
an hour after You wake up, Laugh a
great deal. Drink water by the pint or
the quart If you can. Drink weak and
sweet tea with plenty Of milk in it,.
Take cod liver oil and sweet oil as much
as you can. Eat until you feel as If you
would burst at the table Put plenty Of
butter on your bread. This will guar
antee a gain Of five pounds a month,
and, II you can sleep q great deal, Of
doHble that amount.

THE HORSE BUSINESS.
1t PAYS wen Enough If Due are In
the Selection Of the breeding
stock II Exercised.

The reports that come from those
breeding and dealing in stations go to
show that the farmers Of this country
are about to begin breeding horses
again. II is to be hoped that they will
exercise due care in-selection of their
breeding stock. It is sometimes better
10 miss raising a colt than to breed a
mare with some serious defect That may
be transmitted to her progeny, Good,
blocsy mares, bred to stylish coach
stations, will make a cross that will
produce a very desirable kind of an
animal. So also heavy mares bred to
strictly good P~ercheron stations will
produce a draft animal of great endur-
ance and that will bring a high price.
The average farmer should not bother
10 breed to thoroughbred or trotting-
bred stock. Unless the progeny is exc
c]eptionally good it viii sell at a low
price, This class has only speed to de-
termiue the price, while Cleveland bays,
coachers and the heavy draft classes are
always in demand Farmers Voice.

Arrange sections of two oranges,
three sliced bananas, one-half pound
white grapes which have been skinned,
and 70 English walnuts quartered, on
lettuce lenvGs. Serve very cold with a
French dressing made of four table.
spoonfuls oil, two tablespooufuls vine
gar, one-half teaspoonful salt and one
fourth teaspoonful pepper. A pretty
way to serve this is TO arrange the let
tuce in its original shape on a glass
dish, put the fruit in the center, and
just before serving pour over the dress
ing. Everything should be chilled. The
dressing, If allowed 10 stand on the
lettuce will cause IT to wilt. This com
bination does not sound especially at
