THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Bread-Mixing Machines. 
Having seen Charity Sweetheart’s in¬ 
quiry concerning bread-mixing machines, 
I thought I would give her and possibly 
other readers the benefit of a little exper¬ 
ience. Bread-mixing machine are, so far 
as 1 can judge, all right. They do the 
32 to 40 bust. 
work they are advertised to do, viz., mix 
the bread. But they have also to be 
washed, dried and kept absolutely clean. 
Now, Charity Sweetheart, before you buy 
a machine, try the following plan several 
times: If you make bread with a sponge 
set it in the afternoon as usual, or if you 
are accustomed to knead yeast, flour, etc., 
all up at once, follow your usual rule, but 
instead of kneading simply mix the mass 
with a long-handled spoon or with one 
hand, for about two minutes, or until you 
are sure everything is thoroughly mixed. 
Then set to rise over night; mold into 
loaves as usual when light, adding a little 
more Hour if necessary. The bread-mix¬ 
ing machines work on this principal,—the 
two to three minutes’ turning of the handle 
simply mixes, not kneads, thoroughly. A 
spoon or your hand is less expensive 
than a machine and easier to keep clean. 
Besides when bread is raised in a bread 
pan it can be molded into loaves right in 
the pan. When raised in the machine a 
molding board has to be used, as the 
shape of the machine prevents easy han¬ 
dling of the dough. This plan, which has 
been followed in our family for some time, 
originated with a cook who is noted for 
her bread, and who adopted it, after ex¬ 
perience with a machine, as being easier, 
and giving the same results. Scientifically 
considered kneading is needless, sufficient 
mixing to exclude the air combined with

warm temperature, and time, being the 
only requisites for the fermentation of 
yeast. E P N 
R. N.-Y.—This is quite true as to the 
method, but with a spoon it is impossible 
wash; nothing but the bowl and the curved 
rod that does the mixing; we had never 
learned to mold the loaves without a 
board. One of our friends always mixes 
her bread with the spoon, as described, 
but when risen it is not stiff enough to 
mold on a board, and she ladles it into 
the tins. It is light, but excessively por¬ 
ous, with the peculiar texture usually as¬ 
sociated with over-rising. We think the 
cook who finds spoon-mixing easier than 
the use of the mixer must make her bread 
this way, or be more muscular than the 
average, though we have known domes¬ 
tics who insisted on going back to the old 
way. Personally, we shall cling to the 
mixer. _ 
The Rural Patterns. 
Arrangements of tucks and insertion 
make some of the prettiest thin waists. 
In the illustration dotted Swiss is trimmed 
with German Valenciennes insertion and 
the cuffs are tucked on horizontal lines, 
bu these details are optional, as the cuffs 
can be made plain or of an all-over material 
if preferred. The waist consists of the 
front and the backs with the yoke, which 
is pointed at the front and round at the 
back. The waist is tucked and joined to 
the yoke and the seam is entirely con¬ 
cealed by the trimming. The closing is 
made invisibly at the back and the neck 
is finished with a stock. The sleeves are 
snugly fitted at their lower portions and 
full above. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size is 3p2 yards 
31, 3 yards 27 or 1)4 yards 44 inches wide 
with 6(4 yards of banding for trimming. 
The pattern 5304 is cut in sizes for a 32, 
34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust measure; price 
10 cents. 
The full skirt, tucked in a variety of 
ways, not alone continues a favorite but 
promises to be one for piany months to 
come. Illustrated is one of the best and 
most attractive of the new models that 
is adapted to all the lighter weight sea¬ 
sonable materials. The skirt is made in 
seven gores, the front one being plain, and 
is laid in tucks which form groups, each 
alternate one extending over the hips only. 
The fullness at the back is laid in inverted 
plaits. When liked the skirt can be cut 
off in walking length. The quantity of 
material required for the medium size 
(without folds) is 10 yards 27, 9(4 yards 
36 or 5(4 yards 44 inches wide. The 
pattern 5293 is cut in sizes for a 22. 24, 26, 
28 and 30 inch waist measure, price 10 
cents. 
Cocoanut Pudding.— One-half cupful of 
cocoanut, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, 
one pint of milk, one egg, one tablespoon¬ 
ful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sugar 
and one level saltspoonful of salt. Soak 
the bread crumbs and cocoanut in the milk 
for three hours; mash the bread fine, and 
add the sugar, salt and melted butter. 
Beat the white and yolk of the egg sepa¬ 
rately, and add first the yolk and then the 
white, stirring well. Place all in a well 
buttered pudding dish and bake half an 
hour. Serve hot without sauce.

R. N.-Y. and .you’ll get a quick reply and

WANT AND NEED. 
There’s a big difference 
between what a baby wants 
and what he needs Deny 
him the one, give him the 
other. Most babies need 
Scott’s Emulsion — it's the 
right thing for a baby. It 
contains a lot of strength¬ 
building qualities that their 
food may not contain. After 
a while they get to want it. 
Why ? Because it makes 
them comfortable. Those 
dimples and round cheeks 
mean health and ease. Scott’s 
Emulsion makes children 
easy; keeps them so, too.

Will you, Mr. Farmer, if you find it a 
hard matter to much more than “make 
ends meet’’ just reason out this propo¬ 
sition? 
The land in South Platte Valley, 
Colorado, yields 20 tons of sugar beets 
to the acre every year—sure crop, never 
a failure. Choice land ready for plow¬ 
ing averages $40 per acre. 40 acres, 
costing $1600.00 will yield 800 tons of sugar beets a year—worth 
$4,000.00. And the Sugar Factory on the ground will contract 
right now to pay you $5.00 a ton for all the beets you can raise 
for 3 years and a field superintendent of the sugar factory will 
visit you several times a week to give you the benefit of experience 
in beet culture and help you install proper methods to insure 20 - 
ton-to-the-acre crops. 
Will you just sit right down now and write to the 
UNION PACIFIC R. R. 
for their South Platte Valley folder full of valuable information that will enable 
any man with agricultural experience, a little capital and plenty of “hustle” to 
acquire a fortune in a few years?
