QUALITIES A LOAF OF GOOD
HOMEMADE BREAD POSSESSES

Good homemade bread is about the
most appetizing of foods when one is
! hungry, but there are many kinds of
! homemade bread. Some is good, some
/ is bad, and some Indifferent. Which
kind do you make? If you don't know,
| judge it by the following description
| of good loaf given by the Home
Economic Kitchen of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Good bread is porous and contains
a large number of holes or cells, all
of which are of about the. same size
and shape. 1t is better for some rea-
sons to think of it as a mass of tiny
bubbles made of flour and water and
hardened or fixed in shape by means
OF heat, This calls attention not only
to the size of holes or cells, but also
10 the character of walls of the cells,
which in good bread are always very
thin.
A loaf of bread should be light in
weight considering its size, and
should have a symmetrical form and
an unbroken, golden-bro crust. The
crust should be smooth on top and
should have certain luster. to which
the term bloom" has been given.
1At 4odl IT'S Il NuOle, lue crust anu
the crumb, should be elastic. The loaf,
if pressed out of shape, as it oftens is
when slices are cut from it, should
regain its form when the pressure
is removed. Bits of the crust, if
bent a little between the fingers,
should show the same power to re
bound, as should also the cut sur
face Of the loaf if pressed.
The crumb should be creamy white /
in color and should have a sheen" /
which may be compared with the
bloom of the crust. This sheen can
best be seen by looking across slice /
rather than directly down into it. The |
distribution of the holes, on the other |
hand, and the thickness of the walls |
can best Be examined by cutting Il |
very thin slice and holding it up to /
the light
The flavor of the bread should be. ]
as nearly as possible, the flavor of |
wheat developed or brought out by /
the use of salt This flavor is not /
easy to describe, but is familiar to /
those who have tasted the wheat kerr /

ROADSIDE PRODUCE SELLING
BRINGS PROFITS IN NEW YORK

Despite the fall slump in produce
prices, number Of farmers in the vi
cinity Of New York are receiving high
er prices for their produce than ever
( before.
One of these farmers located 20
miles from New York on main high
way has written Secretary of Agri-
culture Meredith urging him to en-
courage roadside selling of farm pro-
duce direct to consumers at the farm.
This farmer stated that he had dis
posed OF practically all of his fruits
and vegetables in this way. people
coming from quite a distance to make
purchases. Everything except some
corn was sold right at the gate" he
wrote, "and at better than city prices
in many instances. The consumers
have received their fruit and vege-
tables absolutely fresh and there have
been no middlemen TO absorb part of
the profits"
There are hundreds of individual
roadside markets throughout the
country that are achieving similar
success, say specialists of the Bureau
of Markets. United States Department
of Agriculture. OF course, it could
not be recommended that farmers
their regular marketing
channels to take up this plan of mar
keting, but there are many instances
where farmers located near consum-
ing centres and on main highways ov-
er which there is some volume of
traffic might dispose of considerable
produce by displaying at their gates
signs containing list of the articles /
they have for sale.

WILSON COMPOUNDS WILSON

Washington ~ Especial Correspond
ence) Secretary of Labor W. b. viii
son, who. as a member of Congress
supported the Democratic theory OF
free trade and opposed a protective
tariff on the grounds that protection
is unconstitutional, has recently is
sued a bulletin from the Department
Of Labor, asserting that Congress in
it's deliberations upon the tariff will
need the guidance of carefully select
ed information concerning existing
conditions Of wages and labor.
This is considered to be one more
Democratic acknowledgement of the
fundamental fallacy of the time-hon-
ored principle of the Democratic par
ty that the Congress Of the United
States has no constitutional authority
to impose a protective tariff. Yet the
Democratic Convention of 1920 reaf-
firmed the traditional attitude Of the
Democratic party, and that party and
its candidates stand pledged today in
opposition to tariff legislation which
Incorporates any degree of protection.
In its deliberations upon the tariff,
Congress can have no interest in
wages or working conditions unless
it is taking into consideration differ
ence in cost of production here and
abroad, which difference is not mater
ial unless the principle of protection
is to be considered in framing the
tariff law
A tariff for revenue only will not /
be based upon difference in cost of |
production. 1t will be based entirely /
upon a consideration of the amount /
of revenue one rate of import duty |
or another viii produce. If revenue is |
the only object Of a tariff. it makes no /
difference to the legislator what the
effect of the rate of tariff may be upon
the wages or continuity of employ
ment of American workmen.
Prominent business men in all sec
lions of the South, particularly men
in agricultural develop
nent have been holding meetings and
otherwise conducting propaganda re-
Gently in support of a movement for
tariff legislation. Respond
ng to an appeal from a meeting of
his kind, Senator Underwood, of Ala
,ama, declared himself unqualifedly
gainst the adoption of the protection
dea in tariff legislation. He urged
he peanut producers to abandon
heir effort to secure a protective du-
y. He did this after there had been
allied to his attention facts and fig
res showing the enormous difference 4
J cost of producing peanuts in the
nited States, and in China where
ages are low and conditions of liy-
lg still lower.
The Democratic floor leader in the
anate being definitely opposed to a
tariff. there can be no hope |
the restoration of that principle in |
merican policy unless the Republi- |
ms are given working majority in |
e Upper as well as the Lower |
ouse of Congress. This should be /
pt in mind by every voter who be- i
ives in a protective tariff and who I
III be called upon on November to -
ark his ballot for candidate for
e United States Senate or for a
at in the House of Representatives.
Democratic control of the Senate by
en- a single vote will mean continu-
ce of the free trade policy which
Is established and now exists by
indate of the Democratic party.

GEEP BROOD SOWS IN WINTER
AS CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE

During the winter the brood sows
should be maintained as cheaply as
possible, but at the same time they
must be properly fed in order to far
row a large number of healthy, we'll
grown pigs in the spring. Best results
are obtained when sufficient food is
given to produce daily gains on the
sows of One-half or three-fourths of
a pound To do this the grain feed
must be limited and diluted with
some doughage, for unless the ration
has sufficient bulk the sOws will be-
come constipated and hungry. due to
the undistended condition of the di-
gestive tract. Legume hays are the
chief rolghage available at this sea-
son, and their use will cheaper the
cost of feeding.
Either alfalfa, clover, soy-bean, or
cowpea hay makes an excellent rough
age, and when fed. little or no high
priced protein concentrate is needed
to balance the corn. Bright, leafy al
falfa hay gives the best results OF
any of these roughages. Alfalfa meal
is simply the best grade of alfalfa
hay chopped into a meal Clover hay
contains almost as much nourishment
as alfalfa hay, and soy-bean hay, cut
and cured when the beans are almost
ripe. is a very nutritious feed. Cowpea
hay should be cut when the first peas
are ripening and consequently does
not have as high food value as soy
bean hay. Great care must be exer-
cised in curing soy-bean and cowpea
hay. for the stalks are very heavy and
and unless thoroughly dried
are apt to mold Under no condition
should a brood SOW be fed upon any
roughage which is not bright, nutrit-
ions. and free from smut or mold.
She does not relish or thrive on such
inferior feed. It is very, apt to cause
severe digestive troubles, and may
lead to the loss of her litter.

WILLIAM t. JOHNSON


William T. johnson was born in
Jahken, Denmark, February 26, 1885
and died Tuesday, August 81, at a.
m, and was thus 81 years, 6 months
and 5 days old. He came to this
country at the age Of II, so had spent
half of his life in this country.
Since he had the flu two years ago,
he has not been strong and for about
one year ago the sickness from which
he died, consumption Of the lungs,
began to set in.
He had made several starts to seek
the Lord and was entered as mem
Der of our church in this place on
August Z, 1904, but he was not clear
in his experienc before this summer,
when he made more definite and ear
nest effort and found the Lord, to the
consolation and satisfaction of his
soul.
The last five years he had made his
home with his sister, Mrs. Soren
Brown, where he had the best Of
care, until about two and a. half
months ago when he, according to his
own wishes, was taken to the State
hospital in Oakdale, Iowa, where
he ended his days.
He leaves two sisters, Mrs. S.
Brown of this place, and Mrs. P.
Addison in Denmark, and three broth
ers, Chris Johnson, Nels Johnson, and
Hans johnson, who are all grateful
to friends and relatives for the SYM
pathy and kindness shown during his
sickness and death.

VICTORY MEDALS

To facilitate distribution of Victory
Medals in which the War Department
has enlisted the cooperation of the
American Legion, Adjutant General
P. C. Harris has announced that
copy of the War Departments official
battle area map will be forwarded to
each of the $500 local posts of the
Legion, which are situated in every
community in, the United States and
in nineteen insular possessions and
foreign countries.
"'The map will be of great value as
an aid to determining eligibility for
battle awards in the issue of the Vic
tory Medal" writes the Adjutant Gen
eral in the letter to Franklin D'Olier,
national commander of the Legion.
"This office also is pleased to state
that since the arrival at mutual I'M
derstanding concerning the RESPONSE
bilities of the American Legion and
the recruiting service the matter of
distribution of Victory Medals has
been progressing nicely"
Notwithstanding the improvements
in the situation noted by the adjutant
general there still is good deal of
misunderstanding on the part of the
veterans as to the steps necessary to
procure their medals and the arrange
ments under way for the formal
presentation of the medals which will
take place on November 18th.
