Prize Oregon Bread. 
Lents Grange, Multnomah County, Ore., 
recently offered prizes amounting to $10 
for the best: loaf of bread. According to 
llie conditions of the contest each winner 
of a prize was required to tell how she 
baked her bread. Mrs. Aussnius, who se¬ 
cured first prize, said: 
“1 selected a yeast cake and placed 
white potatoes in water, which extracted 
5071 Shirt Waist with Fancy Stock, 
51(1 to 4(1 bust. 
some dark coloring matter from 1 lie po¬ 
tatoes. I hen boiled them and drained 
all the water off, mashed'and h at them 
thoroughly with a silver fork, until white 
and crcamv: took half a cup of Hour, 
poured the potato water over the Hour. 
Then I took one cake yeast, soaked it in 
lukewarm water, added this and the po¬ 
tatoes to the flour and the potato water, 
added spoonful of sugar and same of salt, 
thoroughly heal until perfectly white. 
This I consider the most important part 
of the work. Then I !<■( it rise until white. 
Here I took a quantity of flour in a cup 
550(1 Misses’ Three-Quarter Coat, 
12 to 1(5 years. 
of yeast and a quart of water and milk, 
two-thirds milk. I added salt and water, 
thoroughly mixed and beat it until it 
bubbled, making a sponge, and set it to 
rise until very light. Then mixed to a 
still dough, not too stiff, thoroughly 
kneading it until white, and let it rise. 
I hen kneaded it again 'and let it rise a 
third time. Then again kneaded it and 
baked it in a covered pan.” Mrs. Auss- 
mus said in conclusion that her success 
was reached by following the old fash¬ 
ioned way of constantly kneading the 
dough until in proper condition. 
Mrs. Hotchkiss, who won the second 
prize, said she took up the following 
course: Took a yeast cake, three large- 
sized potatoes, which were boiled in just 
(iioitgh water to cover them. When done 
um them through fruit press, mixed with 
potatoes and potato water three cooking 
spoonfuls of Hour, three spoonfuls of 
sugar and two of salt. When cool added 
one cake of previously soaked yeast, and 
set in a warm place to ferment. Roiled one 
quart of milk, added one cooking spoonful 
of butter upon taking the milk from the 
stove. When cool enough added two 
spoonfuls of salt and two of sugar. Add¬ 
ed flour to make batter and one cup of 
yeast. When light made the sponge rise 
to double its size. I hen molded into 
pans, let rise and bake.” 
Mrs. Miller, winner of the third prize, 
used the following method: Boiled about 
live medium-sized potatoes, drained and 
mashed and strained into a pan, put in 
.about half a cup of sugar, one third cup 
of still .and a yeast cake previously soaked 
in warm water. I let it stand over night 
and in the morning sifted in warm flour, 
kneaded into dough, let il rise and 
kneaded well a second time. Then mold 
ed into loaves and set to rise in warm 
place. Baked il in moderately heated 
oven one half hour. 
We consider a contest of this kind ex¬ 
cellent ill Grange work. The recipes arc 
specially interesting in their use of pota¬ 
toes, which lessen the cost when potatoes 
are home-grown and flour is purchased at 
a high price. _
