Wash thoroughly and boil in the
skins about 12 potoatoes of medium
sire. Cook them until they aio very
tender. Drain, peel, and mash them
while hot, being careful to leave no
lumps. Allow the mashed potato to
cool to 8G degrees F., or until iuhewarm.
To 3 pounds (b solidly pack
ed 1-2 pint cupfuls) of the masheti
potato, add the yeast, which has
been rubbed smooth in a cup with 3
tablespoonI'uls of lukewarm wutsr.
To get all Uic yeast, rinse the cup i
with the remaining tablospoonful of j
water and add this also U> the potato.
Next add the salt, the sugar
and about 4 ounces of Iho flour (1
scant halt-pint of sifted flour). Mix
thoroughly with the hand, but do
not add any more water at this
stage.
Cover the mixture boll to avoid the
formation of a crust on top and I
place out of the way of drafts to rise,
where the temperature can not fall
below 80 degrees F. or bo much high
or than 88 degrees F. Where the
housewife has no thermometer, she

;jo moderately warm, but bv no
means hot. The sponge, if kept at
the proper temperature, should, after
two hours, become quite light.
To this well-risen sponge, which
now will he found to bo quite soft,
add the remainder of the flour,
kneading thoroughly until a smooth
and elastic dough has been formed.
The dough must be very stiff, since
the boiled potato contains a large
amount of water, which causes thej
dough to soften as it rises. Do not
add water to the dough unless it is
absolutely necessary to work in the |
flour. Set the dough back to rise
ag*ain (temperature at about 80 degrees
F.) until it has trebled in volume,
which will require another hour
or two. Then divide the dough into1
four approximately equal parts, reserving
a tiny lump we'ighing 2 or o
ounces for an "indicator." .Shone the
sample into a ball and press it into
the bottom of a small tumbler with
straight sides. The glass shouid be
slightly warmed. Note the volume
of the ball of dough in the tumbler
and mark the glass at twice this
volume.
Mold the four portions into loaves
and place in greased pans which
_ have been slightly warmed. Place
the glass containing the "indicator"
beside the pans and let all rise, under
proper tempreature, until the
"indicator" shows that it has double-,I
in volume, then place the loaves
in the oven and bake in a good,
steady heat (400 degrees to 425 degrees
F. for 45 minutes.
T- ...1
. itf uai iivuii.?wnerc no oven tnermometer
is at hand, a convenient
tost will be to put a teaspoonful of
flour in an earthen dish in the oven.
Tf this flour becomes light b own
evenly throughout in 5 minutes'
time, the oven is right for bread
baking. If the flour scorches in that
time, the oven is too hot.
Potato Bread?Sponge Method
For four 1-pound loaves are required:
\
3 pounds of boilde and peeled potatoes.
2 1-2 pounds of good bread flour.
3 level tablespoonfuls of sugar.
1 1-2 level tablespoonfuls of salt.
1 cake of compressed yeast.
4 tablespoonfuls of water.
Boil, peel, and mash the potatoes
as directed in the straight dough
method. In the evening take 1 1-2
pounds, or 2 1-2 solidlv naelrnd
pints cupfuls, of the cool mashed potato/add
to it the salt, 4 ounces of
flour (1 scant half-pint cupful), and
the yeast rubbed smooth with the
water, reserving one spoonful to
rinse the cup.
In the morning add the remainder
of the potato, the sugar, and the
rest of the flour. Knead thoroughly
until a smooth and very stiff dough
is formed. After working the dough
set it to rise accordiny to the directions
given for the second rising under
the straight dough method.
Thereafter handle the dough exactly

Potato Bread Rolls.
Very good rolls can be made from
a similar mixture of boiled potatoes
and flour by adding shortening and
agar. The following proportions
will yield one dozen small rolls: ,

WON'T RUB OFF
Clemson College, S. C.?Whitewash
is so commonly used around the farm
that it is advisable to know just how
to make it properly. The following
receipt for a cement whitewash is
made use of by owners of cold-stori
age warehouses who desire a snowy
white wash that dries quickly, adheres
strongly to cement, brick or
wood, and does not rub off on the
clothes.
I Slake one-half bushel of lime with
boiling water, adding the water s'owly
and stirring constantly until a
thin paste results. A 5-foot piece of
%-4 inch iron pipe makes a good rod
for stirring. The lime will be lumpy
if the water is added freely and the
I mass is not properly sitrred. Add
lone-half peck of sait to the lime
paste; stir thoroughly; add water l<
I bring the whitewash to the ptopm
consistency. Throw a good handfu'
of Portland cement in each pail of
(whitewash, and a toaspoonful of utramarine
blue. Add the cement and
the blue powder just before the wash
is to he used and stir in well, -otherwise
the whitewash will be streaked.
The cement makes the whitewash adhere
strongly to any surface, and the
bluing counteracts the grayish cohv
of the cement and results in a white
appearance.

PRICE OF OUR LAMD
Selling Price of Tillable Farm
Lands More Than Covers
the Cost.
?
To determine as far as possible the
exact dollars and cents ?...ect on a
county of the improvement of bad
reads, specialists of the Office of
Public Roads and Rural Engineering:
of the department made economic
surveys in eight counties in each of
the years from 1910 to 1915, ii.clu
sive.
This study of the increase in the
values of farm lands in the cignt
counties reveals the rather interest
iug fact that following- the improvement
of the main market roads t\v
increase in the selling price of ti.r
I able iarm lands served by the road.|
has amounted to from one to three
times the total cost of the imn.-ovs
meats. The increase in values i:
those instances which were rect rdo
ranged from (' > pe r cent to SO pc"
cent in Spotsylvania County, Va.:
f: on? (>8 to 10-1 in Dir.widriie Count,
Va.; 70 to 80 in Leo County,Va.; 2~
'.o 100 in Wi : C nm'y, Va.: 0 to 1'
in FY&mdiu County, N. V.; 50 to 10.
in Dalas County, Ala.; 25 to 50 :
Lauderdale County, Mis?.; and f'-'o.
5.0 to 100 in Manatee County, LI a.
The estimates of increase were basc<
for the most part upon the territory
within a disiance of 1 i. ilo on cace
side of the roads improved.
In Spotsylvania County a enrofu
record was made in 1910 of 35 favir
located on the road selected fo! ion
provor.ient. Of the 7 farms sold i
1912 the prices actually paid show
increases of from 27 to 11(5 per cen
over the 1910 valuation. The ave.
age value after tne roads were im
piovcd was $28.20 per acre, as com
pared with $17.21 previous to th<
improvement. In 1912 four trans
, fors of farm land were on the bash
of $30.11 per acre, whereas the prop
erties were listed in 193 0 at only
| $12.89 per acre. It appears that the
1,451 acres sold in 1914 increased in
value $28,500, or 80 per cent, or from
$24.4(5 to $44.10 per acre.
| In Dinwiddie County, Va., the ne:
tual price of 43 farms sold or ofI
fered for sale from 1909 to 1914
ranged in price from $8.38 to $13.74
! per acre before the roads were built,
and froom $24.70 to $78.(50 per acre
after the roads were improved.
In Lee County, Va., a study of
eight tracts along the roads before
and after improvement indicated
that these properties increased about
$23 per acre, or about 70 per cent.
In Wise Coounty Va., a study o"
eight representative farms locato
i on roads showed that they increased
| in value from an average of 849.()(
J per acre before improvement' t'
$79.44 after the roads were imp.ov
ed. There were increases in va'u:tion
in other sections of from $CG
to $90 or even $100 per acre.
In Franklin County, N. Y., the.
figures seem to indicate that the
change from earth, sandy, and loam
roads to bituminous macadum was
followed by increases averaging
$12.50 per acre, or about .'10.7 per
cent.
I In Dallas County, Ala., careful in
I vestigation seemed to indicate that
road improvement .has added at least
$5 to each acre of land within a hail
mile of improved roads. Tracts sold
at from $8 to $10 per acre were sold
again after road improvement at
from $20 to $25 per acre.
In Lauderdale County, Miss., the
total assessed valuation of real property
outside of the city was $2,757,546.
This increased in 1914 after
road improvement to $3,188,809, or
15.4 per cent. Local real-estate men
place the increase in land values on
account oi improved roads at from I
25 to 50 per cent.
In Manatee County, Fla., careful
study of sales and real estate records
indicated that the improvement of
roads has added from 15 to 100 per
cent, or at least $15 per acre, to the
i selling price of all lands within onc,
half mile of improved roads. This
would give a total of $f>l 1,000, or
more than twice the value of the
bonds issued.
