rendcrim it not only useless, hut positively
injurious for hiinmii food in any form.
A certain quantity of flour ii put into
a vessel nnd mixed with a certain iitui it

reiJieit for a few hours, when it rises, as
itis termed, and is afterwards knendt-d
njnin with some, fresh Hour, then put into
nn own and Lnked ; it ii then taken out
in tho form of- loaves, called "baked
wheatcu trend." This is nhout all tlmt
is known, Pnornlly, of the philosophy of
bread-making.
Chemists differ in opinion regardinff
tho primary cause of fermentation ; but it
ii known that leaven induces this action n
Jouh, and that alcohol and carbonic acid
arc formed thereby, and flour tvitv de
composed nnd passing off in the form of
these, substances. This is the rcnaon why
some hnro decried the iuo of leavened
bread, because, they said, it was formed
(by wasting ''soniu of the nutriment of tho
flour." Hut as nosio of the nutritious part
of tho flour ii driven off in fermentation,
only carbon and hydrogen respiratory
substances beinjy di.-persed, their loss is
" Compensated by the improved healthful
quality and pleasant taste of such bread,
liaised bread made of effervescing salts,
.such as salarnlns, is not m palatable, so
healthy, nor will it keep so long, as bread
raised by fermentation. The public has
' oftentimes been cajoled by persons pre
tending to niako bread which contained
. all tho aliment of the flour that passes olf
. as spirit in fermented bread. A moment s
- reflection will convinco any person that,
1 weight for weight, fermented breud must
1 contain the greatest amount of nutriment,
because unferinented bread contains a
greater amount of respiratory substances
- and as a conseq lenee, less of tho nu
tritious. Ono part of the philosophy of Iread
. making and it is to this feature we wish
V mort particularly to invite general ntten
1 tion is tho maintaining of the heat con-
. Btuntly above the toiling point of water.
Tho starch of flour is luaulluble in water
..at a temperature below 212 degrees; it
has to bo well boiled before it becomes
soluble, but when moistened with water
and exposed for a short time in an oven
to a heat of about illK) degrees I'uhren
" licit,' never below 212 degrees nt least,
its nature is changed ; it becomes dextrine,
I which is soluble in cold water. .The heat
v of every loaf of bread placed in an oven
, must bo exposed to 212 degrees Fahren
heit at least, or jt will not bo properly
baked, and camlbt be so easily digested,
" heavy, imperfectly baked bread is there
'..fare not only unpalatable, but also un
healthy. -Tho bakorsof Paris have a world-wide
celebrity for making beautiful fermented
bread. Their skill and science are moly
displayed in manageing the temperature
of their ovens ; they employ thermometers
... o indicate, their heut, and watch them
i with unceasing attention; their bakin
' ' heat is maintained from 212 to 400 de
grees Fahrenheit.

The best preventive U to phiee the milk

list for 18.17 will reach 100,(100 copies. The
best plan of subscribing is to send your money
direct lo the publisher. Those" who send
large atnoupts had better send drafts, but
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro
cured. We think we can show bow much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a lato number of both. Tlie
Two Dollar Magazine contained 3(1 articles,
the Lady's Book 62.
Tlie Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book 50.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained G4 pa
ges, the Lilly's Book 100.
Twenty-four more Engravings, twenty-six
more articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the quantity. Tlie lowest. club
price'of the Two Dollar "Magazine is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,(17, only
42 cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly certainly a jverv cheap three and a half
cents' worth. Thb view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the two maga
zines.
