About Baking Bread.

Bread is made from many other grains than wheat and rye. The bread of India and China frequently has millet for its main ingredient. Peas, beans and other seeds are used for the making of cakes and in South America the cassava cake is only an unfermented bread made from tapioca. On the same list, too, might be placed the oatcakes of Scotland and the corn) cakes of the United States. JThe art of baking loaves came t® Europe quite late in history. Flat cakes were baked even in the earliest times, but as late as the beginning of the nineteenth century loaf bread was comparatively -unknown in many parts of the continent. - > '* • * In 1812 an English captain ordered loaves to the value of five dollars In Gothenburg and tbe baker stipulated for payment in advance, on the ground that Ije would never be able to sell them in the city if they were left oa his bands. • ,
