Bread Making

Good bread can result only when
the ingredients used are fresh and
pure. Housekeepers should buy a
brand of flour that has been analy-
zed and that they know is up to the
standard.
Good flour should be sweet to the
sense of taste and smell, having a
feeling of sharpness to the grain
and should be cream white in color.
The amount of flour used in max
ing bread depends upon the ABSORB
tive properties Of the flour. No alb
solute law can be given for the n
mount OF water or milk necessary In
mixing bread. II the dough is made
too stiff, however, the bread will not
rise fast and will be heavy, whereas
too much water causes rapid rising
and makes the batter so thin that IL
cannot hold the gas bubbles. The
most satisfactory method Of making
bread is to measure sugar, salt. yeast
and lard or butter to given amount
OF liquid and add flour enough to
make a soft dough.
To mix bread scald the milk, add
sugar and salt. and when the milk
cools to 80 degrees F. add yeast dis
solved In cold water. Add flour gradu-
ally while stirring to avoid Jumping.
When the bread is sufficiently stiff
to knead place 1t on a board and
work. All shortening should be add
ed after the first ten minutes o:
kneading. The theory of long and
rigorous kneading is. first that 1t
mixes Ingredients thoroughly; second,
that II supplies oxygen which In q
harmless way bleaches the bread.
By thoroughly kneading bread we get:
first, a white and light bread; and
second, bread with fine texture. The
trouble with a great deal Of the
Lneading is that It is not vigorous
enough or long enough.
The temperature during rising IL
very important. BY making the bread

so degrees. Yeast works best at a
temperature Of from 70 degrees TO
50 degrees F. For keeping that tenn
perature uniform, the following plan
gives good results. A pie pan is in
verted in a deeper pan half filled
with water at temperature Of 80
degrees F. or near body heat. On
this inverted pie pan. the bowl con-
tanning the sponge for bread is plac-

bushels Of corn. Another cause Of
clover failure 10 the acid condition Of
many soils. Practically all Of the soils
Of the southern third Of Illinois are

lands Of Other parts OF the state are
also scid. The remedy for this trou

INTENSIVE FARMING .
Kentucky Wheat Yield

Commissioner Newman, Of the
State Department Of Agriculture, says
the average yield OF wheat per acre
in Kentucky in 1912 was less than
ten bushels. To be exact the Com
missioner's estimate is y.3 bushels.
The Government reports show ten
bushels, but the difference is imma-
terial.
The farmer who produces only ten
bushels OF wheat to the acre is fool
ing away his time in growing that
cereal. In fact Commissioner New
man says the farmers are losing
$3.50 an acre. To be sure there are
some wheat growers in Kentucky
who are making money, but the yield
OF their crops is far above the aver
age for the State. The great major
lty, II is evident, are not getting ade-
quate returns for their labor and ex-
penditure.
Good wheat can be grown In Ken
lucky and some Is being grown, but
Kentucky for some years has been
decreasing in importance as wheat
producing State. At present the crop
is not as large as It was ten, twenty
or thirty years ago. With an average
Of only nine or ten bushels to the
acre there is little wonder that II is
diminishing and that in a period Of
ten years. as shown by the Federal

temperature will be about 90 degrees
+. BY having SO much space to pass
through before It reaches the water
the heat radiates to such a degree
that the water is not raised more
than 2 degrees in the two and one

first rising. In this manner, bread

better arrangement may be made
than the one given above. BY placing
water at 80 degrees around the bread
In the fireless cooker, a uniform tem-
perature may be retained.
The baking Of bread is one of the
most important features in the max
ing Of 1t. A loaf OF bread of ordinary
size should remain in the oven 20
minutes. The temperature of the
oven should not exceed $50 degrees
+. That temperature would brown a
piece Of paper in from to 10 minu-
ties. At this temperature the bread
will bake evenly and thoroughly.
Very little is generally known about
regulating the heat in the oven, be-
cause 30 few women use the thermo-
meter. The best dough in the world

the adopting by housekeepers of
the cooking thermometer.
Suggested recipe for bread:
cup milk.
/ cup water.
tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lard
tablespoon butter.
1 teaspoon salt
to cups flour
cake yeast
Y cup cold water
This recipe will make four good
sized loaves of bread.
In the South particularly. we use
too little light bread. 1t is by far
the most easily digested form Ct
bread. 1t is more economical and
requires less labor in the long run
than any Of the quick breads made
with flour.

ed in the daily menu and we would
be much more healthy than we are
from eating SO much hot bread.

An Implement for Rsnov.tIno Alfalfa Stands.

rBy J. NJ. wEsTGATr. ROLAND M'KEB
and NJ. W. EVANS. United States De-
partment OF AgrieultureD
The factors OF greatest Importance
In connection with the production OF
alfalfa seed are thickness OF stand.
soil moisture and such climatic fac
tors as rainfall and temperature. The
local variation Of one or more OF these
factors accounts for the great fiuctua-
lions In seed yield often observed In
q given season In a single locality and
even on the different parts Of the
same farm.
Experiments and observations have
shown that thin stands OF alfalfa tend
20 make good yields OF seed much
more certain. The reason for this lies
largely In the fact that the thin stand
permits more complete development
OF the individual plants. The greater
amount OF sunlight received by each
plant in thin stands also tends 20 In
crease the production Of seed. II Ia
q matter OF common observation that
isolated plants along roadsides and in
fence rows ordinarily produce much
heavier crops OF seed than do the
plants in nearby felds. The illustra-
ton shows the appearance OF a we'll
set cluster OF seed pods.
That climatic conditions have an i'm
portant bearing In growing alfalfa for
seed Is shown by the fact that sue
cessful seed crops are produced only
under certain climatic conditions. The
alfalfa plant requires q somewhat pro-
longed period OF warm. dry weather to
mature q crop OF seed.
The factor OF rainfall Is important
IN that II affects directly not only the
soIl-moisture conditions. but also the
temperature and humidity OF the air.
Il also has a direct effect upon the
flowers n the plants are In bloom. II
the period OF rainfall 10 somewhat ex-
tended or the amount quite large. the
effect 10 detrimental to the seed crop.

off more than so per cent.
Commissioner Newman says the
States poor showing is due TO lack
Of agricultural knowledge. This is
undoubtedly true. IL is not the part
OF wisdom for farmer to devote his
land and his labor to a losing crop.
It is not to be wondered at that SO
many farmers are getting out of the
wheat-growing business, but IL is
doubtful IL they are lettering them
selves so long as they lack either
knowledge or energy to improve their
farms. The man who does not put
forth the proper effort to conserve
the soil and build It up and get the
best possible Outcome from IL; who
does not exercise some judgment Ia
seed selection and cultivation; who
does not, in short, mix brains with
farming" will never have bursting
barns and granaries, no matter what
product he selects as his one best
money crop.
Kentucky is an agricultural State,
but unless there is increase of agri-
cultural knowledge she will not be
able to maintain her standing in the
sisterhood of States, but eventually
will fall back in the production Of
