The Baking Powder War.

The Royal Baking Powder Company
is still making enemies among those
who are manufacturing and selling i'm
pure articles for leavening purposes land
their name is legionl and this fact shows
that it is continuing its vigorous work in
the interests of the public. This COM
pany set out some time ago to expose
the character, and so far as possible to
break up the sale of adulterated baking
powders. Having found from an exam
ination of a number of specimens pro-
cured from grocers that they were gen.
orally of an inferior chracter, some de-
void of all leavening properties and
many of them actually poisonous, it
brought the matter before the public,
denounced the makers by
the he authorities. The affair
was speedily taken up by physicians,
Boards of Health and Legislatures
throughout the country, chemists were
employed to make scientific tests of the
various powders in the market, and the
Government itself directed analyses to
be made before it would purchase the
supplies needed for army, navy and
Indian uses. The result more than justi-
fed the charges so boldly made by the
Royal Company. Not only we're the ma
jority of baking powders in the market
found to be largely adulterated, but many
of them were ascertained to contain alum
and other poisonous ingredients to such
an extent as to render them positively
unsafe for use in human food. The infor-
nation spread throughout the country
and created profound sensation. AS a
result many of these injurious mixtures
were driven out of the market,
and the sale of all OF
them seriously interfered with. No oc-
currence of recent date has been SO far
reaching as thisin its beneficial influence
upon the public health, and the bold
ness of the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the Inauguration of such war
fare, and their energy in it carrying for
ward with such important results, were
universally commented upon and appre-
ciated. In making the charges they did
not hesitate to enter into competi-
| tionwith every other baking powder in
| the country, and it is apublic satisfaction
| that in all the tests and analyses made
the Royal Baking Powder was placed al
fhe head of the list and declared by
| Boards of Health and by the Govern.
| ment chemists, Drs. Mott and Love, to
| be the superior of all others in strength
| and absolutely pure and free from all in
| ferior substances.
In continuing this warfare against the
adulterated food, more particularly the
| alum and otherwise impure and inferior
baking powders which unscrupulous
manufacturers are endeavoring to force
upon the market in this locality, the
Royal will undoubtedly meet with the
| old time opposition and abuse. We are
confident, however, that the public vii
also appreciate, rs heretofore, both the
object of the "alum men" and the actor
of the Royal Company, and award full
| Justice to the company that has so fear.

FARMERS COLUMN,
Agricultural Items.

The apple orchards, north and east,
have just passed their blossoming stage,
and the prospect for fruits in New York,
the New England states, New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania were never
better.
Ten years ago, the man who should
have predicted that Iowa, in 1881, would
rank forth az a butter producing state,
would have boen reckoned as Il crank.
Yet she did, being outranked only by
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Cayenne pepper blown into cracks
where mice and cockroaches are accus-
toned to haunt, will drive them away.
The annual value of our dairy crop is
more than double that of the cotton crop,
and the production of cotton is by no
means small industry.
Where worms infest flower pots they
may be driven out by mixing an ounce
of ammonia in n gallon of water, and
with the solution water the plants.
Farmers should read and think more
and work less. Builders and their employ
es in the cities work but ten hours 4 day
and earn more than the FARMERS and
their hands who work fourteen to six
teen hours daily. And the mechanics
declare they are not going to work more
than eight hours a day by and by.
A discussion in European papers upon
the question of the effects of freezing
upon the flavor of meat, participated in
by many chief cooks and stewards, ap-
pears to show that even the develop
ment of flavor is arrested and kept in
abeyance by the congelation. If frozen
at once after being killed it is as devoid
of flavor Immediately on being thawed
but "ripens" in the same time and man
ncr when liberated from the torponic
crutch as if never had been in its power
Aside from this non-injury, there is the
positive advantage, well understood in
our Northern States and Canada, of a de-
cideo effect of freezing in increasing
tenderness.

New Designs in Needlework.

From the New York Mail and Express
Already the summer hotels are open,
and the sound of the clinkling of steel
knitting-needles may be heard on
thousand piazzas throughout the coun-
try, with the accompanying low hum OF
conversation of women busy with their
fancy work. There is no longer any
need that this fancy work shall be an
atrocious mixture of Berlin wools. The
excellent schools of design of South
Kensington and in this country have
furnished exquisite patterns which de-
light the eye as well as employ the
idle fingers
A variety of articles are now wrought
on heavy white or unbleached linen. A
set of doylies, a tray cover, buffet covers,
bureau covers, pillow ''shams" or bed
spreads are made on this material.
There is a considerable quantity of fdarned
work seen in the new designs, though
line and crewel Little of old cut work
is attempted, as the button-hole stitch
which surrounds the raw edges after the
pattern is cut away is tedious to work.
Drawn work is even more effective than
cut work, and is easier to do. Great
nine-inch borders of openwork pattern
are shown in drawn linen, and the hex
agonal patterns which are frequently
seen are very pretty. Doylies are a
piece of handiwork often undertaken by
beginners and they are tastefully wrought
in simple outline work, and are SO small
that they may be picked up at odd in
tervals and finished before the worker is
hardly aware of it. Some of the pref
| tiest doylies are scattered with tiny rose
buds or forget-me-nots in dresden china
colors. A dozen Shakespeare doylies
are frequently undertaken, with stag
cock, a hare or lobster wrought outline
in the corner, and quotation from
Shakespeare, among others the hospit-
able welcome of Lady Macbeth Now
good digestion wait on appetite and
health on both"
Bureau covers, splashes and pillow
shams add dainty finish to the most
lovely boudoir. Pillow shams are es-
| pecially pretty. One design shows hop
and trellis twisted to form the words
Happy be thy dreams;;" another spray
of morning glories with the words on one,
$50 sleep like closing flowers" and on
the other Heaven thy morning will
| bless" These shamsare finished on the
/ edge with simple two-inch hem,
/ wrought in hem-stich. Another set OF
pillow shams, hem-stitched and bordered
/ with torchon lace, are scattered in one
] corner, with red poppy, with green

Some Very Handsome Patterns in

carpets,
New York Letter in the Cincinnati Enquirer
Carpets now show improvement in
styles and patterns. Small figures are
in demand and, in fact, large ones can
not be found in the stores where ancient
stock is not kept. There was time
when the room of the ordinary fiat size
wouldn't show single figure complete.
In some Of the patterns now shown
small designs are crowded together in
wonderful harmony of color and device.
Many treasured old tapestry has less art
than the ordinary carpeting of the pres
ent day. Some are veritable pictures
and can be studied for hours without
growing familiar. Some of the favorite
designs represent ferns, leaves, branch
es and foliage in symmetrical. .entangle-
ment. Borders are still used and often
arc wholly different from the body,
though harmornizing with it. A feature
of our carpet stores just nowsis the dis
ply of Oriental mattings. Not only are
they bought to put down in summer resi-
dences, but they are coming into use in
chambers of city houses.
A bed room provided with white CHI
ma mating with half breadth of col
ored check for a border, and Turkish
rug in the centre, is quite correct.
Another thing for the center of sleep
ing room, if the sleeper be an unmar-
ried woman, is a small bed. This is a
bran new atfectation. A brass bedstead,
tride larger than the woman and not
much wider than her greatest breadth,
is placed in the middle of the apartment
and furnished with the daintiest posi-
bic bed clothes; but everything about
the affair must be perfectly plain,
the desire being to suggest the utmost
simplicity on the part of the maiden.

OUR BABY,

Two little shoes,
Out at the toes,
Trotting about

Soiled gingham dress,

And playing in sand;
Dear, precious head,
Tousled and rough;
Bright laughing eyes,

Rosy and bare;
Two chubby hands,
Folded in prayer;
Tired little head,

Heavy with sleep;
Silvery sweet voice.

Bureau covers are usually of linen, en-
broirdered with flowers. Rose petals or
tiny blue forget-me-nots are scattered
over them and heavier wreath of the
same flowers wrought on the ends.
Other covers are in heavy towel linen,
the ends being drawn and run with rib
bons. Splashes for the back of wash

What Constitutes Good Farming,

Formerly it was thought that education
was not necessary Tor a farmer-ability
to swing an axe, hold a plough, handle
hoe and swing scythe being all that
was required in a good farmer. This
opinion has given way to amore enlight-
ened one At the present day it is con-
ceded that a we'll directed use of brains
is worth more to the farmer than undi-
rected physical labor. Both combined
are still more effective where the great
est profit is expected.
One of the many elements of success
in farming is in keeping posted up with
the times. This in great measure
may be obtained by reading our bestag-
ricultural journals, and he who lsa close
student can learn much that he can use
to his own advantage, and at small cost.
The habitual carelessness which one
meets with among farmers, especially i'll
the matter of small things, is to be dep
ricated. Many things are allowed to
90 to waste for want of proper care. The
farming tools are left where last used
exposed to the changes of weather, and,
sooner or later becomes useless from
rust and decay The natural wear is
quite an annual tax, even where proper
ly cared for. Some who are looked up
on as good, practical farmers do not give
the needed attention to small things,
and asa consequence loss is sustained.
This in part is owing to the laxity in
system and order which is so essential
| in all kinds of business.
Many farmers are greatly in error III
| trying to work too great a quantity of
land, having more than they can proper
ly improve and cultivate. All lands that
do not yield sufficient to pay for labor,
| interest, and taxes, and are incapable of
improvement with the means of the
owner Except woodland enough to sup
ply the wants of the farm, should be
disposed of at some price or even given
away, rather than be held at a yearly
| loss, which has to come out of the profits
! of the farm. This loss is greater in most
cases than the increasing value of the
land. There are other leaks that should
be looked to; ga constant dropping soon
fills the cask." Large crops are simply
the result of applying manure, which
every farmer knows, but many of them
fail to give it that attention its import
| ance demands Even where land is
good, manure largely increases the crop
This can be obtained by different meth.
| DDS on the farm without resorting tc
costly commercial fertilizers.
