SYMPOSIUM ON BREAD MAKING.

To have good results in bread max.
ing, one must have good yeast, the
right temperature and careful hand
ling.
II one uses the dry yeast, add one
cake to a pint Of potato water and a
cup of mashed potatoes, a tablespoon
full of sugar and a little -four, enough
to make a thin batter. Set away to
rise from noon until night, then set
the bread, using half a cup for three
loaves OF bread. This yeast VIII keep
until 1t is all used, if kept in a cool
place. Salt is added when the bread
sponge is set. Knead the bread into
a stir loaf at night, then in the morn.

This lesson we sometimes fail to learn.

Insects oUtnumber all other forms
the earth. If the entire insect popu-
lation of a single acre of arabic farm
land, in any part of the United States,
could be brought together and care
fully examined, hundreds of different
kinds would be found, some Of them
doubtless new to the naturalist, the
majority new to the farmer, but all
either directly or indirectly affecting
the financial interests of the latter
Comparatively few of these insects
would be found actually to prey upon
the grain or grasses over this limited
area, the remainder being enemies
either Of the few destructive species or
Of each other But the farmor him
self would probably know little re-
garding the habits of any of them,
despite the fact that he may have
spent the most of his life in their
llidst, and sustained greater or less
animal loss by reason of their ravages.
The business OF farming has made
Immense strides within the last fifty
years, but advancement in a knowl-
edge Of insects has not kept pace
with this progress. Indeed, the mod
ern farmer who plants his grain with
a grain drill. harvests it with a self
binder, and threshes it with a steam
threshing machine. probably knows
little if any more Of these insects than
did his grandfather, who a century ago
sowed his grain broadcast, reaped it
with a hand sickle. and threshed it
with a fail Inconsistent as ii may
appear, not one farmer in ten has
even a business acquaintance with

Of his crop. This apathy in regard
+ insects is doubtless due in part to
their generally minute forms and OBJ
scure habits of life. But much is due
to the innate propensity Of men in
general to consider the ravages Of in
sects as insurmOuntable and incom-
prehensible phenomena Of nature, like
storms, floods, or unreasonable frosts,
JLdI must ne accepted without QQeS-
ton and without recourse. Indeed, in.
the minds of some they are dictated
by Providence whose acts are fiual
and above question. Precisely a sim
liar opinion relative to smallpox was
held by the old Arabian physicians
and by medieval schools
A better knowledge of some Of the
fundamental principles governing in
sect life and development than at
present prevails would teach the
farmer that insect depredations are
not to be placed in the same category
with floods, storms, and unreasonable
trosts, all of which are natural phe-
Uolnena not influenced by the acts of
man. Ravages Of insects, though
natural. are in many instances the
direct results Of mans efforts to bring
large areas Of country out of a state

A WORD ABOUT CHEESE.

Cheese is one of our most highly nu-
tritious foods, and one which win, with
bit of bread and fruit, make d we'll
balanced meal
The information that cheese is in
digestible has been handed down from
one generation to another until some
people really believe it.
One reason for this belief is the fact
that it is eaten on top of a meal
which is too much for a stomach to
dispose Of easily, and the attack Of
Indigestion is attributed to the
cheese, when the whole meal itself is
to blame
The varieties of cheese are bewild
ering and are indeed a study. The
history OF different cheeses as to their
origin is exceedingly interesting read
ing.
The kind of cheese to serve with
certain courses is now a puzzle to
many an entertainer for 1t is quite a
breach of culinary etiquette to serve
the wrong one at any course of the
dinner
Some Of the popular cheeses are.
Neufchatel, Gruyere, Roquefort, Cam
embert. Frontage de Brie, Gorgonzola.
Sapsago, Stilton, Cheddar, Edam and
Parmesan, not forgetting our own
delicious American cheese OF various
kinds, which are close second in
many cases to the foreign products.
For macaroni cooking and all au
gratin dishes there is no cheese that
equals the Psrmesan; it is procured
already grated, and if bought in the
Italian market you are sure to get the
real thing
II one has the leisure to look about
in various shops and will collect the
different varieties of cheese, study
their history, where made and how,
the knowledge will be forever helpful
in ones travels.
For rarebits, souffles and the like
there IS no cheese which approaches
the good old New York; in fact it is
good anywhere and at any course.

Ringworm is a contagious disease
due to fungus. Man, horses and cat
tie are commonly affected, and 1t is
easily transmitted from one animal to
another. The affection first asserts
itself as a ringlike patch, with the

is on the skin around the eyebrows, or
