A well-made loaf Of bread Ia q
source Of satisfaction as long as II
lasts. A burnt or pale loaf with a

making yeast bread are given by food
specialists In the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. II the direc.
lions are followed carefully. a delicious
loaf ID the result.
! Cleanliness Essential.
Everything connected with the proc
ess Of bread-making should be scru.
pulously clean. All utensils, therefore,
should be washed carefully the liquids
should be scalded: the dry materials
should be kept from the dust; liquid
yeast should be kept cold and well
covered: the hands should be washed
and the nails cleaned before they
touch the dough. Wooden tOothpIcks,
which can be used for cleaning the
nails and then thrown away, are
convenient part Of the equipment for
bread-making.
In making stiff dough out Of the
sponge. or out Of the liquid containing
yeast. the -four should be added gradu-
ally. and what In more important. the
dough should be beaten thoroughly. or.
when II gets too stIff for this. knead-
ed, after each addition Of -four. II
this Ii not done. too much -four Is like
~ to be added and this spells the tex
ture OF the bread. The time to stop

be kneaded without sticking either to
the hands or to the board. even when
they are uniloured. II for any reason
more -four than this Is added. the
dough should be softened again by
means Of water or milk.
Beginners often have difficulty In de-
termining when the dough Is ready to
be divided into loaves and put into
pans. A good rule Ii to measure Its
volume. When Il Is ready to be made
into lOaves, the dough for each loaf. II

GIRL IS STUNC
BY CATERPILLAR

A. & M. College, Miss, September
16.-Stung by small brown cater
pillar with coat of woolly hair and
a back shaped like house top, a
young girl at Lena, in Leake Coun-
ty, recently suffered such excruciat-
ing pain as to require two visits from
a physician, according to report
just received by the State Entomolo-
gist, who pronounced the insect a
larvae of the Crinkled Flannel Moth.
Specimens of this insect are often
received during the late summer or
early fall with reports Of severe pain
caused by their stings. Cases are re-
corded in which it was several months
before the wound healed, and in one
instance a finger joint was stiff for
many years as result Of sting
from one of these caterpillars.
There are several kinds of flannel
moths, variously called rabbit
MOTHS" or puss moths" in Missis-
sippi, and the Entomologist, at A. &

have poison stings, together with
some leaves Of the plant on which
they are feeding.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTI0N
OF STORAGE HOUSES.

A. a. NJ. College, Miss, September
I6.-ln a statement today that the
amount OF disease among sweet po-
tatoes in Mississippi was noticeably
decreasing, ID. c. neal, Plant P&tho-
logist OF the Agricultural Experiment
Station, asserted that far more COM
plants of loss from rotting were
made by farmers and county agents
a few years ago than at present, and
attributed this condition to the fact
that growers generally are inform
ing themselves about sweet potato
diseases and adopting the precautions
necessary to prevent rotting.
An important measure urged at
this time is the thorough cleaning
and disinfection of storage houses.
In personal letter, the State Plant
Board has already appealed to all
storage house owners to clean and
disinfect their houses before putting

pecting to store his potatoes in cur

is excellent for applying these solu-

a mop will serve the purpose. Equal

chloride of mercury in 8 gallons of

the consistency of ordinary whitewash
This may be applied with a whitewash
nozzle or with a mop. All crates or
containers should also be dipped in
to one of these solutions.
Another important precaution urg-
ed is the hand-culling Of all potatoes
before placing in the storage house.

"Deportees began to arrive IN

would be without any male feia-
tive. There was one group OF ABOUT
100 men over fifty years old, some
of whom appeared to be ninety years
old. They renamed a few days ana
were sent on toward Harpoot.
"A large group of more than l'ooo

unable to carry their children ana
were compelled to leave them beside

youngsters INTO our ofphanage,
where many of them died from ex-
posure which they had been subject

evident that the Turkish policy OF de-

TINS would perish on the road.
Another method was only to
give food to those who worked on the
road in such limited quantities that
they soon weakened when the food
allowance was cut. The victims in
variably died"

to Constantinople.
