Bread Materials.

n great many different materials
besides wheaton -four have been used
for bread. Beans, peas and other veg
etables, rs well as barley Indian meal,
oatmeal and other grains, have been
tried at different times in place OF
wheat. Even turnips, boiled until soft
and mashed with the greater part of
the water pressed out of them, have
been used for bread. When mixed
with one-half its weight of wheat
meal, this preparation Of turnips is said
TO make palatable loaf. 1t is raised
with yeast like any wheaton loaf, and
when the bread is properly raised,
baked and cooled it is said that the
odor and flavor of turnips is scarcely
perceptible.
Potato bread is made OF one part
potatoes boiled and mashed dry and
two parts Of wheaton meal. 1t is then
raised with yeast and kneaded like any
other loaf.
Rice bread is made Of three parts
wheat -four and one part rice. The
rice is boiled tender and drained free
from water and mixed with the -four.
1t is then mixed into n loaf and raised
with yeast and thoroughly baked.
Barley used to be extensively used
for bread of n coarse quality, but it is
inferior to wheat. and, though used
extensively in Europe. is seldom seen

4 Fine Argument.

One OF the best arguments yet Of
fered for road Improvement is con
tanned in a report OF the Industrial
Commission Oh the distribution Of
farm products. The important fact Is
there brought out that the cost OF
hauling farm products TO markets
over country roads is in excess of the
cost Of operating all the railroads in
the United States. 1t has been shown
by careful inquiry that the average
haul of the American farmer in get
ting his produce to market or to the
nearest shipping station Is twelve
miles. The average cost per ton for
hauling over the ordinary country
roads is twenty-five cents per mile,
Or - per ton for a twelve-milc haul.
Careful estimates place the total num-
Der of IONS hauled at 300 200 900 per
annum, and this, at the average
twelvemile maui. would make the
total cost S9O0.OOOOOO. as compared
with the SS1S,OOO,OOO expense of rail
road management These figures
ought to appeal to farmers. On them
the burden falls largely, as few Of
them probably add the expense Of
hauling to the cost OF the product
Yet, with few exceptions. this class
Of producers has stood I'm the way Of

whom Late PulIets Maturo.

Those who keep late pullets with
the expectation that they will begin
to lay in winter will be disap-
pointed as a rule. Such pullets sell
dom begin TO lay until the warm
weather of the spring season begins.
Birds DO not lay in winter in their
natural state, and the barnyard fowls
are no exception, as they must re-
ceive assistance in the way of food
and shelter. Demonstration makes
changes in the characteristics Of
birds, and the only way to secure
eggs in winter is to have the fowls
under summer conditions if possible.
Early pullets should lay in winter
but late pullets do not fully mature
before winter, and do not then lay 20
their fullest capacity, because they
must supply their bodies with mate
rial FOR growth and warmth.

where to DuiId tho poultry house.

a great many beginners, just for con
vcnience, when building their poultry
houses, set them as near the residence
as possible. This is Il serious mis-
take, and one which causes no end
OF worry, and perhaps failure. The
arguments advanced in favor Of this
arrangement are that such houses are
more convenient when the fowls are
to be cared for. True. indeed, but
lazy people cannot expect to succeed.
and a short walk to the rear OF the
yards Will MT likely injure any one
who is not afraid of work.
Then again, it is claimed that var
minis and thieves viii not come so
close to the house. Well this nay
also be true, but we should not think
it would be difficult to keep varlnints
away and as for thieves, we do not
think they exist by nature. and when
one develops the community can sool
rid itself OF him.
Build the house as far from the
residence as possible, and teach the
fowls to hustle and grow thrifty

OF The United States, and in contrast
some OF the modern paths Of business

time had resulted in the loss of much
more money TO farmers that would

were of road construction and main
tenance in the vast National Park
One remarkable contrast between
cost in different parts Of the country
was brought out by Captain Chitten-
den, who stated that the Sprlnkling
of the Yellowstone Park roads in dry
weather costs about $125 mile. while
at the session of Wednesday Professor

Senator IT. s. Earle. OF Detroit.
President Of the League Of American

in which he spoke of the work accom-

ment, and advocated placing n tax On

used on a road in the United States
to form fund for the repairing and
rebuilding OF roads.
The Committee on Resolutions made
q long report, some of the principal
recommendations being:
That the work Of the Government
Office of Public Road Inquiries in the
Department Of Agriculture should be
enlarged into . bureau, and that an
appropriation of S150.OOO should be
made by Congress for this purpose.
That it is necessary for the purpose
Of carrying on the work of good roads
construction to complete and protect

Territory and county for thorough,
concerted action, and that the Vice
President of each State for the Ma

thorized to organize n State Good

That we recommend the plan OF

That this congress indorses the use

TaI.e Care ofYonr Rinrs.

IF you want your rings to last
WE'LL said Il jeweler. don't wear
them under gloves. But if you de-
eide that gloves are n necessity, as
probably you will, then send your
rings twice 4 year to a jeweler to be
overhauled"
The reason for this warning is that
the constant friction of the glove
wears the tiny points that hold the
stones in place. and the result is that
the stones fall ont, unless they are
constantly looked after. You might
not detect a loose stone, but a jewel
en- would at once. and thus might pre-
vent your losing valuable gem.
