 to be made without the aid of salenetus or other alkaline sub- 

 stance, and the process of making fully stated. Also to award 

 gratuities for Bees and Honey, -if there were contributed what 

 seemed worthy. ' 



In household economy the making of good bread is a subiect 

 •of much interest. Xot only health but equanimity of mind is 

 oftentimes disturbed by the continuous use of badly made 

 bread. Hence a lady at the head of a family, who cooks her- 

 self or by servants, should be an adept in this matter. 



This is a practical world, and all j'oung ladies who can make 

 good bread should be looked upon by young men, in selectino- 

 a wife, as possessing in important qualification to preside as 

 mistress of a* household.

 mens of Bread exhibited, unanimously award the followino- 

 gratuities, viz :
