Every woman who has ever made
bread knows that some kinds of flour
will make nice, light white bread and
other kinds will refuse to respond to
any kindly treatment, but just obsti-
nately turn out dark, tough loaves. The
best way to prevent bad bread is to go
back to the beginning and test the flour
when you buy it. The farmers bulletin
issued by the agricultural department,
Washington, gives the following direc-
tons for testing flour: See to it that the
-four is white with faint yellow tinge
Then take some of it up in your hand
and press it. 1t will fall apart loosely,
not in Jumps. Rub some Of 1t between
your fingers. 1t will not feel entirely
smooth and powd0ry, but you will be
able family to distinguish the different
particles. Put a little Of it between
your teeth and chew it. 1t will crunch
a little, and the taste will be sweet and
nutty, without any acidity--that is, if 1t
is a good bread flour it will do all these
things
