THE BREAD MlCR0BE.
From the New Lork Press.

FROM the New lOl n I 1879
The art of making bread is as old
as the world. In the earliest record
of the history of man we find that
cakes and unleavened bread were made
by Abraham. Leavened bread was
well known in the time Of Moses,
for in Exodus xii, Is, is a prohibit
ton against it's use during the pass
over. The use of fermented bread
originated probably in Egypt. The
Greeks refer the invention to the god
Pan The Romans derived it from
the Greeks, and until about 200 B. c.,
when bakers were first established in
the Eternal City, the term ''pulse-eat-
ing nation" was applied to the Rom
mans by way of reproach. Now, in
the beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury. comes the discovery of the bread
microbe. which viii revolutionize
the oldest and most important of all
the arts.
Duty of the MicrObe.
Stale bread is dead" bread. has
much as we have known for ages that
termentat ton is decomposition 1t is in
deed singular that the bread microbe
was not discovered long ago. Cheese
cultures are now being used in the
United States to impart foreign flavors
to the home product. and nothing
could be more wonderful than that a
great quantity of native cream cheese
can be converted into the finest ched-
OAR by the, Introduction of as many
cheddar cultures as may be held on
the point of a penknife blade. Yester-
days bread is better than to-day's
for health but less palatable. It is
dying. After three days it is dead.

a celebrated French scientist and now
being introduced here. viii keep a loaf

perfectly fresh and alive for twelve
days. The most expert baker is
unable to detect a difference be-
tween bake of July and one of July
u.
Strangely enough the bread microbe
was found in the skin of the grape,
hence it may be employed in making
champaign clarets and Rhine wines
as we'll as beers and ales. For in bread
making there must be combined with
the flour gaseous body identical with
that which gives the color to beer and
the sparkle to champagne. This gas is
the product of carbonic acid, as you
know, generated by. the process of in
cipient decomposition, The effect in
well-made bread is remarkable. 1t
forms vesicles, which are arranged in
a succession of layers, one above an
other, perpendicular to the crust; a
sort of structure called by the bakers
piled bread" Instead OF a heavy
hard, tough. dull, indigestible mass, a
light. porous, elastic food is produced
more agreeable to the palate and more
conducive to health.
Flour of Wheat.
The only substance adapted to the
making of good fermented bread is
flour of wheat, which is a plant be-
LONGING 10 the grass fanny, hlloWll
among botanists as 'triticum." 1t is
more extensively cultivated than any
other plant. and, like man, seems to
adapt itself to nearly every climate.
Excellent crops have been grown as
far north as 60 degrees-about the lat
itude of Southern Alaska-and it is cul-
tivated in the East Indies within the
limits of the torrid zone. Its original
habitat is unknown. English wheat is
better than American, French is better
than English and the Italian is better
still, but the wheat of Barbary and
Egypt is probably the best in the
world.

the United States have met with no
small success. II is very easy to dis
tinguish macaroni made out of Ital-
ian wheat from that made out of
American wheat The former retains
after cooking its hollow cylindrical
form, yet is exceedingly tender and
pasty whereas the latter is fiat, tough
and often doury.
From Rome the art of making leaven-
ed bread was slowly introduced among
the northern nations, and even at the
present time, in Upper Norway and
Sweden, in Finland. Iceland and Sibe-
ria, fermented bread is but seldom used
except among the higher classes. In
many parts of Sweden rye cakes as
hard as wood are baked twice d year
and form the common bread of the
poorer classes. In Scotland, up to a
recent period. barley bannocks and
oaten cakes were the ordinary bread
of the people.
Wheat Eaters.
Did you ever eat wheat in the grain?
Try it. AS a digester it possesses rare
qualities, and every person afflicted
with dyspepsia would do well to have
a quantity at hand for chewing. A
teaspoonful slowly masticated is con-
verted into a substance almost like
chewing gum, unfavored. In a short
time nothing is left except Vegeta-
BILE fibrine and a nitrogenous matter
called "gliadine," which is gluey and
adhesive, insoluble in water, and, when
dry, hard and translucent like horn.

was astonishing to him, as we'll as to
those to whom he has related his OBJ

joints between the knots are about
one and one-half inches long, and the
net profits-per acre-do not exceed a
general average of $40.
We have a farmer in this county who
is equal, in every respect, to the best
to be found, who, have become greatly
infatuated with the growing of sugar
cane and converting it into syrup, by
the Tillman improved process, which
enabled him to sell his syrup in all
parts of the country, to the tourist
and other hotel keepers at so cents
per gallon. this year. His cane grows
from eight to ten feet long, and the
joints which contain the juice and also
the saccharine, from eight to ten
inches long. While he has made more
than 1000 gallons of syrup to the acre
it will be safe to say general aver

Heaven.
Outlines our path seems rugged and our bur
dens hard to bear.
Our weary hearts are saddened by an over
whelming care,
Yet our hearts may be sladdsned and forget its
load Of woe,
When We think that heavens near Us. If we only
make It So
II our friendship has been sighted BY the ones
We do most love,
II is not lost, but moves onward to the realms
Of light above,
And the lowIy all around Us feel the brightness
Of it glow,
When some loved one has passed onward to the
better land above.
Where there Is no death OF sickness, but where
all is peace and love.

For heaven is within rs if we only make it So
