If 'a temperature of 85 deg.

Allowing 10 minutes for hancilirig the dough between risings and about- ei of an hour for baking, the bread should be out of the' oven within 5 hours from the first mixing: In practice, there- fore, a housewife will find that by beginning at 7 a.m., the dough should be ready for the oven at 11.15, pro- vided it has been kept at 85 deg. throughout the process.

In 11/2 hours at this temperature the loaves should be light and ready for baking. When dry ,yeast is used the sponge process is the one most commonly employed.' _ Ordinarily such a sponge will be light in 10 to 12 hours. This time, however, is also dependent upon the temperature, which should be be- tween 75 deg. and 80 deg. F. If the temperature` of the sponge has been only 70 deg: F., however, fully 13 hours will be required for the mass to become thoroughly light, while at 60 deg. F. 161/. hours will be necessary.

Canadian wool has to be sent out of Canada to be prepared for the. spinner. A pound of wool bought from the farmer is sold from one Commission merchant to another, stored, shipped by train and: boat; stored in Engiatid, sold and ..re•ship- ped until eventually it gets back to the mills in Canada at many times the price you got for it.

Two general methods for making bread are practiced largely in this country, the "sponge" and the. "straight dough." - Bath of these may be divided into the short or quick and the long or overnight process, depend- ing upon the amount of yeast usedas well as upon the temperature main rained. Besides using less yeast in their preparation over night, sponges or doughs are generally kept at a. lower temperature than those made by the shorter •daytime process. In very warm weather especially the dough is likely to become sour over night unless it can be kept sufficiently cool. , In order to learn definitely what time is required we will consider some of the recipes for malting bread. A popular formula calls for one-half cake' of compressed yeast and one cup importance of knowing the temper- ature of the dough she would not be- grudge the investment of a 'dollar or two in a simple dairy or chemical thermometer, Through its use guess work is eliminated, the operations of bread -making may be adjusted to suit the -convenience of. the housekeeper; and bread or hot rolls may be provided fresh for any meal.
