143 increase and widen it will be time to make up the dough. Flour, we have said, drinks up a considerable quantity of water, in fact, it becomes chemically combined with it; but few persons can form an opinion how much is absorbed. On this point housewives are far too remiss: for though perfectly dry and good meal will take up much more water than that prepared from ill-harvested sprouted corn; and though, also, the same flour will, in different states of wea- ther, vary in its absorbent power..., yet there exists too much of a careless ignorance on this important point. We request that the conscientious economist will note carefully every result, and thus make an approach towards accuracy; and in the mean time we state that, as twenty-four pounds of good flour will yield about thirty-two pounds of bread, the weight thus increased must chiefly be acquired from the volume of water absorbed, which will be one gallon; again, since much gas and vapour are expelled during the rising and baking of the dough, two quarts more of water should be allowed: the proportions then would be twenty-four pounds of flour to twelve pounds (pints) of water, and therefore that quan- tity, or more, should be at hand, heated to the degree of new milk.
