Selecting seed wheat.

According TO a statement made by an
Eastern exchange the generally accepted
theory of selecting seed wheat in some OF
the winter wheat growing sections of the
country has been somewhat reyolutionized
of late years. Probably some of the practi-
cal spring wheat-growerS of the Northwest
can shed some light upon the subject of Sc
Letting seed wheat for spring splanting. If
so the GLOBE would be pleased to heaI
from them.
1t seems that some of the successful win
ter wheat growers in Pennsylvania and
Maryland have custom of selecting theiI
seed wheat from fields that have a remark
ably vigorous development of straw. but
little regard being paid to the fullness of the
berry. The custom originated with Mr.. d.
NJ. Good of Washington county, Maryland,
who, on one occasion being short of plumr
wheat, sowed part of field with Shrunllel
seed procured from neighbOr. Contrary
to expectations, the shrunken seed pro-
duced much the finest crop, and, on inveS-
tigatiOn, Mr.. Good found that it was from
a field that had produced a very heavy
growth that lodged and thus caused the
shriveling of the berry. The theory is thai
the strength of constitution of wheat car
be determined more by the growth of the
given lot. Those who accept this theory
procure their seed from those farmers who
have exceptionally heavy fields of wheat,
and would. on no account, use seed from
small yields, however plump the berry itself
might be.
The same theory has been practically ac-
cepted by many New England farmers III
the selection of seed rye, as when
crop on new land is found ex-
ceptionally heavy, as it sometimes will
be. from the excess of plant fertility in
the sell. the entire crop is bought for seed
ny neghboring farmers at a slight advance
over market prices. Short straw carries
short heads, and consequently the yield
must be light. however plump the kernel
may be. Selecting continually from tall
straw with long heads would naturally tend

ARaking Powder Trick.

All kinds of schemes and tricks are re-
sorted to be unprincipled persons to obtain
unfair advantages over their neighbOrs.
The latest and most dishonest of these that
has come to our notice is one by which GER
tain manufacturers of baking powder have
sought to prejudice consumers against the
use of other brands that have an established
reputation as the best and pureSt in the
market. for the purpose of introducing their
own. Their method, we are informed, is
to heat a can of baking powder of a we'll
known brand over lamp or stove, when.
if there is gas given off having the odor
of ammonia, the powder is condemned as
being made of ammonia and unfit for use.
The preiudiceS of the unsuspecting are thus
excited against the baking powder submit
ted to the so-called test, and the grocer who
has quantity of it on hand suffers Seri-
Gus loss in consequence.
If the intelligent consumer will stop
moment to think she will readily perceive
that this test. F" if successful, proves moth
ing but the superiority of the baking pow
der tested. The aim of all baking-powder
makers is to produce an article that shall
most readily, under use, give off its leaven-
ing gas. The powder that does this with
moderate heat, at the same time evolving
the largest quantity, is scientifically the
best.
There is probably not an article prepared
for food that cannot be manipulated to prove
that something is wrong aboutit; and when
person goes into a kitchen or before a
hOuSekeeper who is not to be presumed to
understand chemical relations. and per-
forms an experiment of even the simplest
character, it is not difficult to impress one
that something awful is the matter. As TO
baking powders, we could suggest a dozen
tests that would be as ridiculous in giving
fair idea of their relative merits TO an UNI
instructed mind as the one here mentioned.
The true domestic value of baking pow
der consists in its purity. wholesomeness
and leavening power. 1t is only the chem
ist, with his chemical appliances, who can
determine these qualities. scientifically and
exactly. Aside from this, the best test for
a baking powder is TO try it in making
bread, and see which makes the most and
the best. To this practical test all the es-
tablished brands have been put, and house
keepers have very generally made up their
minds which they prefer, and the trielsters
viii find ultimately that brand that has
been household fayorite for years will not
be displaced by reason of any tricks which
! they NAV show.
