Claim Made For Bread Baked From
Formula Devised by Wife Of Adiron-
dack Guide-offieers Believe It Will
Prove of Greatest Value to the United
States Army.
Mrs. Jacob Wetmore, wife Of a guide
in the Adirondacks, Is the inventor of
new bread recipe which army officers
Of the com,missary department at
Washington believe will prove Of the
greatest Importance to the United
States army. The bread, called hard
bread for campers use," appears to
last indefinitely when baked according
to Mrs. Wetmore's instructions and
likewise has the advantage Of being as
healthful. crisp and. tasteful as the
French breads.
Brigadier General Henry G. Sharpe,
commissary general Of the army, has
had several tests made at Fort Riley
and in California. With the added in
genuity of the army bakers the finish
ed products, which are being forward
ed to the war department, give prom
Use that the United States army will
soon be on an equal footing with for
eign armies SO far as this important
ration is concerned.
Lighter tho Batter Gets the Better.
Early last November Brigadier Gen.
eral Shapes attention was first
brought to Mrs. Wetmore's recipe. 1t
was forwarded by p. L. Hudson Of
New York. Here is the recipe:

in the afternoon by adding cake of
yeast foam (Which has previously been
softened in little water to batter

tato and pint of water In which the
potato has been boiled, with sufficient
good bread flour stirred in so that the
batter will drop from the spoon, not
run as a liquid. Let this rise in Il
warm place after giving it a good
beating until about 9 or 10 o'clock at
night Nhe lighter it gets the BETTER,
then add Il pint Of lukewarm water, a
teaspoonful of salt, tablespoonful of
sugar and bit Of lard the size of
hickory nut, though the bread will be
as good perhaps if this is omitted.
Cut Into Squares Like Cookies.
IF a bread mixer is used, put all
these ingredients into it and add three
quarts of -four, measured before sift-
ing, first deducting therefrom the
amount used in making the sponge in
the afternoon; mix or, If mixer is
not used, knead with the hands until
when poked with the finger tip 1t
seems elastic and does not stick to
the finger. Cover and let rise over
night in a warm place as degrees),
and in the morning turn out on board
and pound with the back of an Ak for
twenty minutes, working in all the
-four you possibly can. Then roll out
about an inch thick with a rolling pin
and cut into squares Of about two
inches, place on a creased baking
sheet, such as cookies are baked on,
and let rise until nearly twice their
height, or until very light.

erately hot oven and then leave in a

million dollars. This being true IL Is
certainly worth our while to give the
matter more than casual attention.
The injury caused is due both to the
actual devouring of some crops and to
the choking out of others, together
with injury to machinery. A very lit
tie good might result from the gophers
mixing and loosening the soil, but this
is more than Offset by the harm they
do by draining irrigating bitches, ETC.
The different species of pocket go
pliers live almost entirely beneath the
surface of the ground, where they
frequently run their galleries to great
from time to time for the purpose of
throwing out the dirt which they dig
loose in driving their burrows and
constructing storerooms, and once a
year when seeking mates. During the
balance of the year their life is soil
tary, both the males and the females
leading such isolated existences. They
are not rapid multipliers, since only
one brood is reared each year. The
average number of young is two or
three, and these are generally born
in May or June.
The probable cause for the increase
in numbers of these mammals during
recent years must be laid to the kill
ing off of their natural enemies, rather
than to any other special agency. The
natural enemies are owls, hawks,
weasels and bullsnakes. The planting

Growers should watch the develop
ment of the trees closely at blossom

closes. The leaves and stems of
branches not fruiting should be COW
cred with spray up to the top Of the
tree. The spray should be thrown
from many directions so as to cover
both sides of the leaves thoroughly.
AS a general rule the first spraying
should be made just before the buds
open, with 200 gallons of bordeaux
mixture including poison for each 200

be made just after the blossoms fall,
with $50 gallons; the third applica-
ton ten days later; the fourth two
weeks after the third; and the fifth
three weeks after the fourth. The
last three sprayings should be made
with 400 gallons of Bordeaux mixture

Ithaca, N. Y. - In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for a national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
ject and in summing up he said:
Il recognize that section No. 2 of the
bill. which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say. morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter

efforts of mankind to attain higher

DEVICE FOR TREE PLANTING

To those who will be planting shade
and fruit trees, the following method
may be of assistance. In preparing
for planting stake out the plot having
the stakes in line in several directions.
After the plot is carefully staked the
trouble is to get the tree set on the
exact place occupied by the stake.
The following plan will overcome this
difficulty. Take a board about eight
feet long and eight inches diameter, as
shown in illustration. Bore hole in
each end and cut notch in the mid
die. Place the board with the notch
against the stakes and drive wooden
or iron pins into the holes B. B. The
board can then be removed from the
pegs, place the tree in the notch and
pack the soil around the roots. The

The damage caused by pocket goph-
ers is difficult to estimate in dollars,
since it is both actual and apparent.
However, all agree that the injury is
sufficient to make it quite necessary
to wage relentless war against the

done ranges on the average between
$40 and SIS per each 160-acre farm
and in some instances as high as one
dollar per acre where the injury is in
orchards, gardens and potato and al
