BREAD OUGHT TO
Be BAKED RIGHT

Kitchen Specialists.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
No other single article of food is as
frequently placed on the table or takes
as prominent a place in the average
diet as bread. In some form or other
it is served at practically every meal,
and msny times is the chief article.
Properly balanced with milk, butter,
fruits, vegetables. eggs, cheese or IA
little meat bread may well form
considerable part of our daily food.
Bread and other cereal products are
also among the least expensive of our
foods.
As it occupies so prominent a place
in the diet, bread ought certainly to
be well made, well baked, and prop
erly cared for. Moreover, any girl or
woman who desires TO he known as Il
really good cook, will wish to excel
particularly in bread making. An
ideal loaf OF bread Is attractive in
appearance; crust smooth. tender and
golden brown i'm color; the loaf itself
light ana well-rOunded on top; the
crumb spOngy and tender; and the
whole delicious in flavor.
Methods for Making Bread.
There are two general methods for
making bread, one known as the
raight-dOugh process and the other
as the sponge process.
In the Straight-dough process all the
ingredients are mixed at one time and
the dough is made of the proper con-
sistency before rising. Either COM
pressed or liquid yeast may be used
for this. but not dry yeast.
In the sponge process only half the

START GARDEN EARLY

An early beginning in prepar-
ing the land ard planting gar
dens is of much Importance.
Regardless of the seasons it is
well to get an early start. That
planting over" may sometimes
be necessary cannot be denied.
But little is lost when garden
land must be planted over, for
the labor necessary to prepare
the land is always well en-
ployed. Much is lost If early
maturing vegetables are plant
ed too late. Get your garden

Decreasing Time of Process.

The sponge process usually requires
less yeast than the straight-dough
method. because of the softer con-
sistency of the mixture which favOrs
the growth of the yeast, and also be-
cause it is generally given more time.
However, by using larger or smaller
amounts of yeast one may shorten or
lengthen the time required for rising.
In similar way the straight-dough
process may be shortened or length
ened by increasing or decreasing the
amount of yeast used. Great care
should be taken with a sponge or
dough which stands a long time-as
the overnight straight dough or the
overnight spOnge-to keep it much
cooler than when the quicker methods
are used, since the former have
greater chance Of becoming sour.

and when the ground is soft. On level

depends on the location of the fence
and the numbers and kinds of stock
TO be turned, the average in field fences
being about 20 feet.
To construct a woven-wire fence
properly it is necessary, to have a
woven-wire stretcher, a single
wire stretcher to be used in at
taching the fence to the end posts, a
pair of wire cutters, a barbed-wire
stretcher, a splicing tool, and hammers
for stapling and fastening the wire.

back of a wagon or by running a bar
through the core and drawing it along
with a horse.
Stretching the Wire.
After the wire is unrolled it should
be drawn up to the line of posts and
freed from adhering trash. The
stretchers are then attached and the
line wires drawn until they are so taut
that they can just be pressed together.
Some slack may be allowed for uneven
ground. In fastening the wire on the
posts the line wire should be kept as
nearly horizontal as possible and al
lowed to follow small Irregularities in
the ground. The staples should per-
nit horizontal movement of the wire,
allowing the weight oil the fence 10

And with the very first breezes
Of the spring and even earlier wo-
mans mind quickly turns to talk
of her new bonnet. Long before the
snow is off the ground, long be-
fore the flowers arrive, brighl hew
hats warn us of the arrival of that
ever delightful season. Time was
when new hats were kept in strict
seclusion and tissue paper until
the event of Easter, then to bios
som forth in brave array, whether
a blizzard ragged or no.
Now no woman can wait. In jan

her crowning glory and abash ner

creation of dazzling novelty. Af-
ter all, that's her privilege.
There are certain. styles OF hats
which have won their way into
feminine hearts through their com
fort, smartness and utility. Each
season plays diapason Of chang
es in these favorite themes. Their
temperance is never monotonous,
The two styles have in mind are
sailors and turbans. Close fitting,
comfortable, and long enduring,
either turban or sailor is a genu-

bit.
A lovely crush hat of piled up
steel cellophane straw made one
of these popular hats. Two coral
pins jutted out from it's folds like
little pink horns. Another darling

velvet flowers in old blue, with
fluffy little lavender centers, and
