Written Exclusively for Evening s..,.

WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN
"Ladie-e-ees and gen'men: You will
now give your kind attention to the
elevated platform in the middle OF
the tent, where we have on exhibit
ton for the first time in America
the world-renowned Maize Tobasco.
This little lady is a rare type Of the
Albino. She was captured in a wild
state, in the jungles of Burnips Cor
ners. The red corpuscles in her
blood were turned white by the con-
slant use of Battle Creek breakfast
food when a child. She received her
education in the public schools of
Burnips Corners and can write call
ing cards with her toes. Those de-
string to purchase photographs or
converse with the little lady will ind
her very interesting person.
Now, we will direct your atten-
ton to the elevated platform on the
right, If you please, where it gives
us great pleasure to announce the
world-renowned Professor Gonzola-
Wits and his famous sacred educated
COW of India. Winnie by name. Win

Winnie-Moo-o-o!
Winnie says she likes the ladie-e-
ees very much, v'ry inch.
Right over here, now, if you please,
where we have on exhibition Stretcho.
the famous rubber-skinned man. who
appears by special permission of the
rubber trust. Stretcho, you will OBJ
serve, need wear no suspenders, as
nature has provided him with mar
velous substitute. He has on sale
souvenirs in the shape of handsome
garters and photographs of himself
ION the next platform we have
George, the legless wonder, who lost
both legs while attending a charity
bazaar given by the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of Binghamton, New Y-a-w-k,
February 81, 1867. He writes souvenir
postal cards by holding the pen in his
teeth in as excellent manner as can
any other circus performer with his
toes. Those desiring to converse with
the little gentlemen Will find him
congenial.
Next we have Mile. Peroxide Of
Algiers, the famous snake charmer,
who appeared before King Edward
the Seventh at Windsor Castle, and
who handles the death dealing rep
tiles with the bon soir and eclat of a
Venetian princess toying with a plate
of spaghetti. The little lady has her
photographs on sale.

WINTER TROUBLES WITH CREAM.

In winter, cream is very difficult to
churn because Of the small and hard
fat gobules, low temperatures, sweet
cream, and possibly thin cream.
When COWS are far advanced in their
lactation period, the globnles become
harder and when churned do not stick
together easily. Cream held at low
temperatures previous to churning
makes quick churning impossible. l
would suggest that if you have a
cream separator you separate about
a 80 per cent cream. By the use OF a
starter, ripen this at Temperature of
about Is degrees for six to eight
hours. Then cool down between 80
and 60 degrees and churn in the or
binary way. This ought to bring the
butter in about 80 to 40 minutes.
Feeding a few roots may change the
charac ter of the fat to some extent
and ia cilitate churning.

BOYS WANT HOMES ON FARMS.

Dear friend:
The Washington Children's Home
Society has the burden of the care of
the homeless children of this state.
and we must ask your help.
You can give assistance in one of
two ways: Either send us as large a
part of S115 as you can possibly spare
to care for a boy, for that is what it
costs in dollars and cents; or do this.
which will cost you more, but pay
you better: Take boy into your
home as your own son, give him the
best of yourself, teach him what you
know about farming and the whole
some life you enjoy.
l think of one of my most difficult
boys whom [ visited on the farm.
The foster father as he showed me his
fine growing crops frequently turned
to him in this way:
"Charlle, it looks as though we
must get in and cut this grass pretty
soon. What do you think about it?"
"What do you think about the way
these beets and turnips are growing?
Will we need to get in and weed them
soon?"
The serious way Charlie responded
to this partnership talk was interest
ing to see, and Charlie is one of the
boys who has never shown any dis
content with farm life.
We will have between two and three
hundred boys to place in homes during
the next twelve months. Ii you want
one, or have a good neighbor who
ought to have one. write for applica-
, ton; otherwise figure on how much
of this tremendous cost you are going
to help us meet. We are now $4,000
behind; our Receiving Homes are
crowded, and appeals for help were
never so insistent.
With your help we will make this
crop of boys yield some of our best
citizens.
Yours for the boys,

State Superintendent

work in the remaining two and three
quarter pounds OF flour. Never force
the flour to take up the water. 1t the
hands are used, the dough should be
partly lifted and half turned toward
or away from you. The mixing oper-
alton should be continued until all
the ingredients have been thoroughly
mixed. The same precaution should
be exercised in kneading the rising
dough. Knead gently and thoroughly
until all the large gas pockets have
been worked out. A thorough mix
ing followed by two gentle kneadings
is best with some fours, while with
others the mere handling in the last
kneading to shape into loaves gives
the best results. If the mixing,
kneading. and other operations are
done with force, there is danger of
lessening the activity of the yeast, in
which case the dough fails to rise.
On the other hand, er-fermented
doughs, when placed in the oven to
bake will fall. In such cases it is
advisable to re- knead and let the
dough rise again, although the quality
of such bread will be more or less
impaired.
Since a measure of one -four will
weigh more than a measure full of
another, it should be weighed, not
measured. Also, it is more satisfac-
tory to weigh the water. The proper
amount of water must be determined
for each lot of -four, and it is there
fore preferable to purchase -four not
sack at a time, but in barrel lots.
Flour generally improves with age.
The following is a simple way to
determine the amount of water flour
requires:
Using fairly accurate scale and a
small apothecary's graduate, weigh
out three or four lots of flour of four
ounces each. In one lot add two
ounces of prepared yeast preparation;
in another, two and four-t enths
ounces, and in third, two and eight
tenths. If the one with two and
eight tenths ounces is too soft, while
the one with two and four tenths
ounces is little too stiff, mix the
fourth lot with two and five tenths
ounces of the yeast preparation.
Mix, set aside in warm place and
let raise until light; then bake, and
observe which combination gives the
best results. The one which, accord
ing to your judgment, gives the best
result, indicates also the required

BREAD MAKING.
State College Notes.

State College Notes.
The first requisite for successful
bread making is good, active yeast,
and it makes little difference whether
the source is compressed or dried
yeast cake, or "starter. The main
thing is that it should be active and
not soured by chills or draughts.
By using good, active yeast and prop
er methods, good bread can be made
from any -four. The best temperature
for the development of yeast is about
80 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
TO PREPARE YEAST.
Crate one fourth OF pound of pc
tatoes; add one quart OF boiling
water; stir thoroughly. Next, add
three ounces of sugar. one ounce of
SALT and finally, when the temperature
has fallen to blood heat, add one cake
of crumbled dry yeast cake, and stir.
Cover snugly, set aside in a warm
place away from air currents, and
leave it there to ferment over night.
The following morning. this mixture
should contain much yeast foam on
the surface. Strain, and add enough
water to meet the required absorption
of the -four.
Ii a "starter'' is used, instead of
the above proportions, use four
ounces of sugar, and one and one
fourth ounces of salt, and follow the
above directions. The next morning
save out half pint and place it in
fruit Jar, which set away in a cool
place ready to use the starter. The
remaining pint and half of yeast
preparation is strained and diluted
with the required amount OF water.
The use OF too little water is the
most prevalent cause for failure to
make good bread. The dough should
be sufficiently slack to nearly cling to
the hand. A stiff dough is slow to
rise, and in case fermentation is pro-
longed, it will sour and never spring
in the oven. Dough of proper con-
S1Stency Will rise rapidly and develop
into 'well piled" Ioaves of good tex
ture when baked. 1t is better to use
too much water than too little, for in
the former case, the time of ferment-
alton can be shortened and baking
prolonged to dry off the excess water.
Upon mixing, if the dough is too
stiff, it is possible to overcome this
by adding more water and working it
gently and thoroughly.
HOW TO HANDLE DOUGH.
Mix one pound of flour with all of
the yeast and water, either with a
spoon or bread mixer. Let it stand
for few minutes, and then gradually

amount of yeast solution to use. The
quantity of yeast preparation used
for four ounces of -four multiplied by
fifteen will give the quantity required
for FIVE one-poupd loaves of bread !;
or, multiplied by three will give the
quantity required for each three
fourths of pound of -four to make a
one pound loaf Of bread.

Northwestern Making Great Improves

Belle PLANE. May 3.-A large amount
Of railway improvement work is being
done near Belle PLANE. A gang Of
some forty men are at work replacing
the wooden structure of bridge on the
south branch at the river south Of Belle
PLANE, with concrete bridge. The
entire south branch is being made a
permanent railway with concrete
bridges, heavy steel and permanent
construction. When it is remembered
that the Northwestern railway is the
only so-called granger railway that
does not have its own line into Kansas
City and that every fall there is con-
gestion of east bound freight out Of
Kansas City. showing that there are not
enough eastbound railways there, the

SILK TILE BEAT "PETE"
Colonel Hepburn Attributes Retirement
From Congress to His Mistake in
Wearing High Hat Into District in
Iowa During Campaign.
Especial Correspondents.

Especial Correspondence
Washington May 3.-Col. Pete
Hepburn lays it up to a silk hat that
he is not now member of congress
Those familiar with the political ca
reer of Col. Hepburn suspect that the
causes for his retirement ran down in
to certain standpat tendencies in the
region beneath the hat. However, that
is matter of opinion. Here is the
version as an interviewer on the
Washington Post obtained it:
Many Of the candidates for office
to be see in the hotel Hobbies of Wash
ington. I observe. are wearing silk
hats" remarked former Representative
William P. Hepburn. of Iowa, at the
Willard. Il have a silk hat, but it is
twenty years since l wore 1t last, and
don't know that I shall ever wear II
again. When I was first elected to
congress 1 had a very good friend and
neighbor who kept a drug store and
who gave me some advice.
Pete he said, when you go to
Washington you want to live just as
you have lived out here. Don't put on
any Tugs and don't wear any silk hat:
but if YOU have to wear silk hat
never show yourself out here with i,
on your head, or the boys will beat
YOU
Il didn't wear silk hat" continued
Col. Hepburn, until I was called upon
to accompany a funeral party to Sar
Francisco: then I found that the silk
lid was needed. On the way back
from the coast our party passed within
fifteen miles of my home and I though,
would take the opportunity to run uI
and see the boys. AS I got out Of the
hotel bus about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing I found my friend just about te
open his drug store. He took one look
at me. spotted that silk tile. and said
You dern fool. told you never tc
come around here with a silk hat on;
the boys are sure to beat YOU
and by George they did I have
never worn a silk hat since.'
