= Every woman who has ever made
bread knows that some kinds of -four
will make nice, light white bread and
other kinds will refuse to respond to
any kindly treatmeyr, 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-
tions for testing -four 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 viii fall apart loosely,
not in Jumps. Rub some of it between
your fingers. 1t will not feel entirely
smooth and powdery, but you will be
able family to distinguish the different
particles. Put little of it between
your teeth and chew it. 1t will crunch
little, and the taste will be sweet and
nutty, without any acidity that is, IL 1t
is a good bread -four it will do all these
things

GEESE ON THE FARM.



Demand Is Steady.
The Embden, a pure white breed of
goose of large size and the best quality.
and the Toulouse, a gray and white
breed of practically the same size, are
equally popular in this country, writes
correspondent Of Breeders Gazette.
These two varieties are outstanding ia
vorites with the public in this country
on account Of their size, hardness and
the market demand for them. The
American standard of perfection calls
for weight Of twenty pounds for ma
tured males and the females are requir
ed to reach within a pound or two of
this weight
Heretofore the Toulouse has been the
more popular of these two varieties,
but the Embden is rapidly forging to
the front and promises soon to become
1t least as popular as its rival The
color has much to do with this increas-
ing popularity of the Embdens, as their
pure white feathers and down sell more
readily than the mixed gray and white
Of the Toulouse. In the eastern mar
kets either Of these varieties commands
premium when fattened to the limit.
Besides these two brs q s we have In
this country the old common breed, the
geese being particolored, gray and
white in varying proportions. The
China goose is the bantam of the fam
lily of geese. 1t is valued according to
It's smallness, the smallest one being
given the prize other things being
equal. 1t is the most prolific of all
geese, and the young are well received
in the markets 1t could be made a
valuable addition to a farm If 1t was
properly taken up.
The market demand for well finished
geese is practically unlimited Hun
dreds might be kept where pairs are
now and still the demand would not
fall. Our people have not been a goose
eating people in the past, but the
merits of young goose as a table
fowl are becoming better known and
appreciation for this bird is increasing
in every great market. Geese are
grazers and thrive well on grass. They
may be used to secure a profit from
swampy and damp lands where or
binary stock would not do well and do
excellently on upland pastures. Dur
ing the summer they require no feed
ing If they have good pasture, and they
will find a living where ordinary stock
would become poor and thin. There
is common belief that geese poison"
pastures over which they Craze, but
this is mere fancy 1t is true that
their voidings spoil the grass for any
other stock for the time being, so they
should not be confined to small in
closure with such stock, but good
shower washes these into the soil and
the pasture is then as good as ever.

How IN Protect Pianos

A growing plant should be kept in
the room with piano, says piano
tuner. AS long as the plant thrives
the piano will be in tune and in good
condition The reason that piano
is injured by dry, overheated room is
that all the moisture is taken out of
the sounding board. The board is fore
ed into the center, and, though the
wood is supposed to be as dry as pos
sible when this is done, it contains
some moisture and gathers more on
damp days. When this moisture is
dried out the board fattens and finally
cracks.

How Fine Table Linen May BE Pre-
served by Proper Treatment.
Tablecloths and napkins should new
er have a touch of starch in them, says
the New York Journal, but should be
wrung out with very hot water, and
then each piece should be ironed until
it is perfectly dry, going over and over
it with the iron until not suspicion of
moisture is left in it. With a tablecloth,
after having ironed the whole cloth,
place the clothes basket under the iron
over, fold it carefully, SO that the
edges meet and the crease is exactly
down the middle, and iron as it is
creased; then lay the cloth on table
or somewhere where it will air little
before putting it away in the linen
drawer or shelf.
Centerpieces and doilies that are
embroidered in colors or made of
drawn work should never be allowed
to get very soiled before washing. not
only because everything that belongs
to table should be kept spotlessly

A soap lather is best for washing
embroidered pieces, as soap should
never be rubbed directly on them.

centerpiece in it, washing it carefully.

Wash the coiored embroidery pieces
one at q time spreading them out on
towels to keep the colors from coming
against another layer of the linen
There may be a piece that the eolors
will run in, and every piece may bear
its mark If washed all together.
Drawn work may be washed with a
little less care, for soap not only may
but should be rubbed directly into the
piece, and If one piece is a little yel-
! low it may be washed out well and
laid out in the air to bleach with the
suds still in it.

How to Make Cucumber catchup.

Peel and CRATE fresh green cucum-

How to Tel1 Pure Maple sugar.

Unadulterated maple sugar is about

PLANNING PlCNiCS
How to Make Them Genuine
Pleasure.


Pleasure.
There are two essentials to sue
cessful picnic, one being a careful
choice Of guests. One fussy, fault find
ing, timid or hysterical person can mar
the pleasure Of twenty So the person
planning a picnic must take the lido
syncrasies of all whose names are
down on the list into careful consid-
GRAFTON and leave out jealous wives.
girls who scream and faint at cater
pillar or crooked stick and, above ali,
leave out the practical Joker and the
one who rocks the boat
The next essential is a good and sat
isfying lunch The Tajority of those
who provide for pis..ies run to made
salads, jelly cake and juicy pies, with
a few sandwiches. Man does not live
by salads alone nor yet sweet pickles.
Taking into account the number Of
people to be present and the fact that
outdoor air always sharpens the APP
petite, the luncheon should be planned.
1t will be found that solid meats, with
bread and water cress for an addition
instead of elaborate salads, are best
appreciated.
For twenty grown people and five
children the following is enough, with
little to leave: A cold roast leg of
lamb, two good sized boiled chickens,
a beef tongue and half boiled ham.
A lot of big sandwiches, not minty lit
tie three cornered things, may be made
of the ham before starting, each wrap
ped In waxed paper. All the rest of
the meats can be cut at home into
slices and packed into large sized gro
Gerry plates of wood, wrapped in the
waxed paper Bread cut and butter
ed and cubes of mild cheese are wrap
ped also in the waxed paper. These
little wooden dishes, such as butter,
ETC., is packed in, can be purchased
by the hundred for few cents and
when they are used can be thrown
away. They come in several shapes

Jelly or layer cake Is a sorry look

ground
Fresh fruit in season is excellent.
Butter should be put into wide
mouthed jar Knives and forks are
really unnecessary at a picnic where
everything has been carved beforehand
save for forks to lift the pieces with
from the big dish No china is needed.
But dozen or so of tin cups for those
who must have their tea or coffee and
spoons may be taken. A teapot and
coffeepot then become necessary, but
should be of the most primitive descrip-
ton No table linen is required, for
the dainty japanese paper napkins and
cloths are at once pretty and neat.
They cost but a trifie. The waxed pa
per for wrapping the different articles
can be obtained at any grocery, and
the cost is very small.
The catering should be intended for
really hungry people out for wood
land day, and the palmer and more
substantial it is the more it is enjoyed.
The clean wooden dishes, the pretty
napkins and the viands, each wrapped
neatly in the waxed paper, give the
touch of daintiness. Of such things
are really great picnics made
