THE FARMERS WIFE
by Mary Ann Gray

by Mary Ann Gray
During winter months when fewer
green vegetables are used, il is neces-
sary for the housewife to put whole
some breads on her table, to keep her
family in good physical condition.
While white bread is a nourishing
food, whole wheat, bran and oatmeal
breads are more natural tonics for
the system. Both bran and whole
wheat act like a broom in the intes-
final tract, besides making strong
bones and lasting teeth in little chill
dren.
This is a reliable whole wheat bread
recipe: In the evening put " dried
yeast cake to soak "A R C. lukewarm
water. Place ] C. raw oatmeal In
bread pan, pour over 1t 3 C. scalding
hot water; add 1-3 C. sugar or honey
and / t. salt. Let mixture cool TO
blood heat then add dissolved yeast.
Stir thoroughly. Add from l pit. to
! at. of unsifted whole wheat -four;
sift in as much ~unbleached -four as
can be stirred in the mixture, put in
pan, knead in -four until stiff enough
to be handled. Let rise I'm warm place
Oyer night. In the morning knead
steadily for Is minutes, divide i'm 3
loavGs, let rise until doubled in bulk
and bake ~ hours in moderate oven.
Bran and Oatmeal Bread-Use same
methods as for whole wheat recipe,
but use II c. bran in place Of half of
the oatmeal. Mix with white or rye
-four.
Who'll UNhnat Erpnt NEaforc Dlann
" C. ice cold cream or very rich milk
in bowl, add a t. salt, sprinkle in
equal parts whole wheat and rye -four
until stiff dough is formed (about liz
c. Work. then set mixture in cold
place for Is minutes. Divide dough
in 3 parts, roll one out quite thin, cut
in squares and bake in hot over be-
fore handling another piece. These
waters are delicious served with jelly,
cheese or peanut butter and are just
as heathful as graham crackers.
II your new candles are too small
for the candlesticks, dip the ends in
hot water for a minute and they will
easily fit into the holder.
Steel wool takes paint spatters off
woodwork and floors when the painter
lets his brush f. If gently used, the
steel wool does not harm wood or
varnish. but be sure to apply the fin
est grade.
When cutting apples for salad, the
slices will not turn black il you use a
silver knife instead of a steel blade.
Instead of putting -four t%hickening
in your next corn, pea or tomato soup
try using IL soda crackers rolled fine.
When the liquid boils stir in these
crumbs and serve immediately

promising fields"
Four per cent of the beef cattle and
three and one-half percent of the hogs

This does not indicate any great dan
ger of OVERRIDING the purebred bust

the growth of the schools in town

special reference to the last nifty
years. There were five schools at

and merged into the Primary School

ing the first school building there was
a great deal of feeling; moro over
raising the eight hundred than over
the ten thousand for the Stanley
School building. There now exists
a fine spirit In the school.

to the toast of "Reminiscences" He
gave a number of anecdotes and read
an old note given by Judge Thompson
to George vose in payment for hat,
paid down twenty-five cents and gave
his note due In twenty years for the
balance of $40. Mr.. Wing was prac-
Using law at the time the note became
due and Mr.. Vose asked him to sue
without giving previous notice and the
answer from the Judge was very witty
and to the effect that he never ex-
pected twenty-years would pass and
furthermore when he gave the note
he never intended to pay the note
consequently 1t was invalid. The
