A suggcstion to tho Breadinakcr.


The old method OF making bread al
ways demanded that the bread be set
to rise over night ana then be kneaded
twice In the morning besides the thor
ough kneading at night. Quick-pro-
cess bread Is fully as good and should
be made as follows: Mix together equal
portions of luke-warm sweet milk and
luke-warm water and for each pint OF
this mixture add one compressed yeast
cake dissolved In three tablespoons of
cold water. Add also teaspoonful of
salt Add flour, stirring In In with
spoon until stiff dough Is formed.
This dough should be SO stiff as to be
turned from the mixing bowl In
mass. Now knead this, adding more
flour until the dough sticks neither
to the board nor to the fingers. Grease
n large earthen bowl, put into It the
dough, brushing II over with melted
butter to prevent crust forming. The
temperature Is the main thing now.
The bread should be left to rise for
three hours in temperature of IS deg.
40 the end of that time form the bread
into loayes, put into creased pans and
set 1t to rise for another hour at the
same temperature. Then bake. This
makes two loaves OF bread.-New
York Sun.

When n man owns a farm OF very
sandy land he makes a mistake to
attempt to raise crops which do best
on heavy fertile soils. for in so doing
he is handicapped from the start and
will undoubtedly fail to realize his
expectations. In farming the very first
step Is to try to adapt the crops to
the soil. In this we merely follow ma
tures example. There are crops
which will do well on nearly every
kind of soil found in the country. Only
few barren soils refuse to produce
any kind of crops. II there Is a proper
amount OF moisture even the poorest
sandy soil can be made to yield some
paying crop.
Our corn requires rich. heavy soil,
and so do most of our other heavy
crops, and such cereals should be
raised only on that kind of land. 1t
requires only n little study and ex-
pertinent to find out pretty definitely
what crops best succeed on our farm.
Farms that have been declared run
down and too sandy to yield any crop
prohtably nave been made paying in
vestments by producing crops of
strawberries. asparagus and onions.
All that was required was the right
sort of man to discover the crop adapt
ed to the soil.
The question of enriching the soil
should not of course be neglected,
even though certain crop has been
found to thrive ON 1t. This Is too often
short-sighted mistake which sooner
or later manifests itself in an unpleas-
ant way. If 1t is a sandy soil there
is something In it that supplies the
strawberries, asparagus or other crop
with nourishment. What Is 1t that
the plants find in the soil to make
them grow? This can be found out
by ascertaining the special noeds of

Winding about on the outside of the
chamber, to height of nearly 200

DEDICATED 10 various purposes and
large enough In themselves TO contain
a large exposition. High above the
colossal rotunda of the amphltheatrc,
and near the apex of the structure,
there will be an observation chamber,
with openings through the four sides
of the pyramid. From this chamber,
more than $50 feet higher than the
Ferris Wheel of the Chicago Fair, the
visitor will get birdseye view of the
Exposition and the panorama OF city
streets with the Mississippi River and

termediate galleries will be reached
by an inclined spiral railway, con
structed on the principle of a moving
sidewalk. BY the side Of this railway
will be carriage drive and foot path,
so that three modes of ascent will be
offered, the incline being so gradual
that vehicles could ascend and descend
in perfect safety. Ample provisions
are made for lighting the interior of
the structure, sunlight being admitted
into the gallerines by means Of aper-
lures through the walls and into the
amphitheatre through openings in the

A statement issued by the treas

A statement issued by the treas
ury bureau of statistics covers the
public Indebtedness of civilized ma
tons and gives a basis for interest
ing comparisons. In 1898 the public
debts of the world amounted to less
than 81. soc, 900, 900. They are now
nearly $50, 900, 900. Payment
at any one time would, of course,
be impossible, for all the money in
existence would not meet more than
third of the national obligations.
\ ct borrowing money is easier to
every leading nation than it was a
century ago and at lower rate of
interest. England's recent loan of
5000, 700 at less than 3 per cent
was oversubscribed several times in
the course of a few days. In fact
IN every country of recognized
standing there is a rush for its bonds
as soon as offered, and, on the aver
age, at the lowest rates of interest
ever known. The United States
makes the most favorable showing
of all. 1t can borrow money at the
lowest rate, but, fortunately, is not
in need of loans. 1t has a monthly
surplus and reduced the debt con-
siderably in March and April. The
interest bearing debt is below the
; 900, 100000 line and the total
debt is less than half what it was at
the end of the civil war, while the
interest charged has been reduced in
a far greater proportion.-Ex.
