WHITE BREAD AT ITS BEST
Quick Method of Making Has Been
Adopted by Those Experienced
in the Business.

Two cakes yeast, one quart lukewarm
water, two tablespoonfuls sugar, two
tablespoonful lard or butter, three
quarts of -four, one tablespoonful salt
Dissolve yeast and sugar in luke
warm water, add lard or butter, and
half the flour. Beat until smooth, then
add salt and balance Of the -four, or
enough to make dough that can be
handled. Knead until smooth and elias.

one hour, or until doubled in bulk
Bake forty-five to sixty minutes.
One cake Of yeast may be used with
good results; but remember the quick
sr and stronger the fermentation the

currants through their apple orchards
This is an ideal plan.
In the average orchard two rows
can be planted between each two rows
Of apple trees. Keep the rows about
five feet apart and the plants about
four feet apart in the rows, and keep
the surface soil well cultivated, using
we'll rotted stable manure or other fer
tilizer.
Currants always bring good prices
on the markets and there are never
half enough to supply the demand
People have overlooked planting
them. Here are the best varieties:
London Market and Red Cross for red
sorts; Lees Black is the best black
while White Imperial is the best Of
all the white kinds.
During this entire season black cur
rants have been in strong demand or
the big markets. They have brough
much higher prices than either the
red or white kinds. We urge the
planting of more black currants; goot
prices for them are sure.

NEGOTIATING SOILS
FOR LEGUME CROPS
Kentucky Experiment Station Isl
sues Valuable Bulletin on
FuzzIing Question.
CIV 1. o. SCHAUB.)

VIII the bacteria from one kind Of
legume inoculate another variety?
This question is often asked and until
recently could not be answered def
nitely, except in regard to one or two
of these crops.
The Kentucky experiment station
has recently published bulletin
which answers this question for prac-
tically all the cultivated legumes. After
a number of years work, the authors
of this bulletin state that there are
six known species of these bacteria.
Each species grows on certain plants,
but neither species will replace the
other. The various legumes which
have the same species Of bacteria are
as follows
1. Alfalfa, sweet clover and bur clo-
yer are the same.
2. Red clover, white clover, alsike
clover and crimson clover are the
same.
8. Vetches and garden peas are the
came.
4. Cowpeas alone.
S. Soy beans alone.
6. Garden beans alone.
Thus we find that bacteria from
sweet clover will inoculate alfalfa or
bur clover, but not the other legumes
mentioned. Neither will any CT the
bacteria from the other plants inocu-
late those in the first group.

Buckwheat shorts and bran are

When six weeks old put clover hay

sILAGE REDUCES FEED COST
Kansas Station Conducts Test on Pro.
duction Of Butterfat During Sum-
mer and Winter.

An experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows that
silage reduces the cost of producing
butterfat from 30 cents to Fl cents.
The herds in this case were Of suffi-
cient size to give reliable data and
eliminate the difference that might oc'
cur between two cows.
The lot which were fed silage gave
seven pounds more milk In the sum-
mer and 95.5 more in winter per
month than the herd which were fed
dry feed. The butterfat was also in.
creased by .46 in summer and 4.6 in
winter. The difference in the cost OF
feed was even greater.
The silage-fed cows saved so cents
per month in the cost Of feed.

FEEDING FLOOR is

Concrete Contrivances Are Com
ing Into PopuIarity-Mucil
Grain Saved to Farmer.

Those who have used feeding floors
for their hogs have found them to be
good grain savers, and concrete feed
ing floors are coming into favor.
Such a floor should be 6 inches
thick, and, if not laid against the BARN.
yard pavement, should have curb ex-
tending from IL to IS inches below
the surface of the ground. This will
prevent the hogs from roofing under
the floor. The floor should slope
slightly toward one corner in order to
carry off rain, or water used in wash.
ing. A rim around the outside edge
will prevent grain from being pushed
off into the mud.
For feeding floors concrete should
be mixed in the proportion of one sack
Of Portland cement, two cubic feet OF
clean coarse sand, graded up to one
fourth of an inch, and three cubic feet
Of hard durable gravel or broken stone
from one-fourth of On inch to one inch
in diameter. Eleven sacks of cement
will make enough concrete for 100
square feet of feeding floor The con-
crete should be thoroughly mixed and
should contain enough water to make
the mass quaky SO that the concrete
will fiatten out of its own weight. 1t
should be lightly tamped, however,
then leveled off with straight edge,
and finished with a wooden float. The
floor may be laid in slabs each feet
square, two-inch lumber being used.
Feeding floors should be large
enough to give each hog 1S square

PROPER SOIL FOR CURRANTs
Fruit Needs Rich Land and One That
Is Good Retainer Of Moisture
Keep Well Cultivated.

Currants require rich soil and one
that is good retainer Of moisture
The plants should be set three to foul
feet apart in the row and rows from
five to six feet.
The patch should be well cultivated
and hoed, all weeds being kept down
as they are very injurious to currants
Keep well trimmed after they have
come into full bearing, as too much o.

the growth.
II is not we'll to allow any of the
wood to get very old, as the finest

Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
