‘ WHEN LOAF IS WELL PREPARED

 

 

 

(Prepared by the I'nited Stat-s Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
A

well-made loaf of bread is a
source of satisfaction as long as it
lasts. A burnt or pale leaf With a
soggy interior tempts lllnlt' but the
starving. The following directions for
making yeast 'hreud are given by food
specialists in the Ignited States De-
partment of Agriculture. if the direc-
tions are followed carefully. a delicious
loaf is the result.
Cleanliness Essential.

Everything connected with the proc-
ess of bread-making should he scru-
pulously clean. All utensils. therefore,
should be washed carefully; the liquids
should be scalded; the dry materials

2 should be kept from the dust; liquid
lycast should be kept cold and well
‘ covered; the hands should be washed

the nails cleaned before they
\Vooden toothpick‘i,
can be used for cleaning the.
nails~ and then thrown away. are a
convenient part of the equipment for
bread-tanking.

in. making stiff dough out of the.
sponge. or out of the liquid containinu

and

ally. and what is more important. the
dough should be beaten thoroughly. or.
when it gets too still for this. knead
ed, after each addition of flour. 1!
this is not done. too much door is like-

‘ ly to be added and this \pniis the tex-

ture of the bread. The time to stop
putting in flour is when the dough can
be kneaded without sticking either to
the hands or to the hand. even when
they are tinilnured. if for any reason
more flour than this is added. the
should be softened again by
tuettns of water or milk.

’mgilmcrs often lune diiilcuity in de-
ic running when the dough is ready to
be divided into itt:|\i“i and put into
putts. A good rule :< to measure its
\olume. “'hen it ;~ ready to be made

into loaves. the dough for each loaf. if

made out of hard wheat flour. should

‘ amount to thrcc tvlttls; if made from
. soft flour, to about two and onehal!

add the flour at once, putting in a lit.

dough is of such cut‘tslstcncy that it
sticks neither to the bowl nor to the
hands. This requires about ten min-
utcs.

Doug should he kept covered

crust will form on top and interfere
with the expansion. Sumo housekeep-

better to set it at a lower temperature.
but the lower the temperature the
longer the time required for the rising.
Cut down the dough from the sides of
the bowl; grease the hands slightly.
Knead a little and set aside to rise
again for one hour. With a good
bread flour. the dough ‘touid treble its
bulk in each rising. With a soft wheat
tiuur. it should not rise much beyond
twice its volume. Divide into portions.
mold and place in greased pans of
standard size (one and one-half
quarts). Allow to rise until a light
touch will make a slight dent. With
good bread than this happens what
the dough reaches the top of the pans.
Bake for 50 minutes.

Short Sponge Method.

Bread taxi be made durln': the day
by what known as the "short

are the same as for the "slit-rt or
straight-dough“ process. but only half
of the flour is added at iltjst. \Vhen
this mixture. which is called a
"sponge." is so light that it will fail
at the slightest touch. it is ready for
the addition of the rest of the limit.

Household specialists of the United

ommend that bristle brushes be
washed with lukewarm water and a
little ammonia (three teaSDOODflllS
dilute ammonia to the quart) or
bomx (one teaspoonflu to the quart)
and then rinsed in clear water. Wa-
ter is likely to injure the back of a
brush and to loosen the cement by
which the bristles are held in place
in the less expensive makes. The
brush, therefore, shanld not be cov-

Bosses.
“Do you think.“ inquired Mr. Meek-
ton, “that a man ought to undertake
to he a boss in his own home?"

“Certainly not," replied Senator
Sorghum. “A man who undertakes

to he an uncompromising boss in his
own home is pretty sure to find him-

those of a statesman who tries-40 be

“About two years.”

“Does he give. any indication of be

“I should say so: He hadn't been
in America more than twelve months
before he was a power in ward pol-
ttlcs."

 

Glad at it.

"Aren't the mails dreadfully slow?"

"Yes. but that‘s an advantage some-
times." .

"Why. this morning l received the
Dulmorcs‘ card for yesterday's recep-

“So did I. It gave me a really den
cent excuse for not going.”

 

Complying With the Conditionn.

The Lawyer—Your aunt‘s will pro-
vided that her dog should die a natural
death before you could succeed to its
inheritance. I trust you can prove the
animal's death was natural.

Mr. Nexklu—Sure can. I fed the
mutt a few grains of stryelmine and
death naturally ensued.

ice Made in 185?
Early in the development of science
ice occupied the attention and engaged
the researches of famous scientists.
Galileo in 1597 discovered that ice Was
lighter than water. but it docs not ap—
pear that he made any particular prog-
ress beyond this fact.
.ltegeiation was observed

by Fa ra-

. day in 15.30. and the investigation car-

ried on by J. D. Forbes. by Tyndall
and by Thomson led to the knowledge
that commercialization of ice prmiqu
lion might be turned into a great in-
dustry.

Americans came to the fore illillll'tii-
ately after. Boston exportation trade
was begun by Tudor in 1806. and in
1857 Harrison perfected the machine
whereby the use of ether and salt “'8'
ter made possible the mass production
of. artificial ice. ‘-

Ancients Did ‘Not Temper Copper.

The general belief that. the ancients
were able to harden or temper copper
to a greater extent than is now possi-
ble is a. myth in thesopinion of tbu‘
United States geological survey, 98'
partmentcf the Interior. It is “ell
known to metallurglsts that processes
of. roiling will harden copper to some
extent and that it can also be hardened
by the-addition of othermemls. Speck
men; ot'ancient, Io-cailed “tempered”
copper that have been examined have
invariably proved to be no harder than

wager that is manufactured to-day, or
'10 be simply an: alloy of copper and

mouse other metal.
