FATTENING HoGs.-As rule farm.
ers do not commence fattening hogs
early enough in the season. They are
allowed the run of the stubble- fields
and meadows as soon as harvest is
over, but corn is not given them till
it is well matured. l will briefly give
the plan l am pursuing with my
hogs this season, which / consider
about right, in the main. My pigs
were fed up to May Is, when they
were turned on clover pasture. Upon
this they thrive we'll. | moved my
clover early, and by the 18th of July
the second crop was headed out nice
ly and the hogs were put on that.
One Of my neighbors demonstrated
with me for thus slaughtering and
wasting my second crop of clover,
when it would have been valuable for
seed or hay for the cattle. l figured
on it considerably, but came to the
conclusion that the hog could take it
most proftably, and it would be bet.
ter for the ground to hog it of. Du-
ring the last week of July I had an
acre Of early sweet corn, too hard for
roasting ears, which have been feed
ing my swine once a day, and by the
time this was exhausted I had two
acres of Stowell's evergreen to run
upon till the main crop Of corn would
do to begin on. I find that green
sweet earn is excellent hog feed and
they, relish it, devouring stalk and
all, excepting blades. l don't think
that shall ever be without an acre
or two of sweet corn, planted as early
as the season will admit, to start my
hogs on. As usual thing pastures
get very short about the first of Au-
gust, aud from that time till corn is
ready to feed, our hogs 60 back in.
stead of gaining all the while as they
should be doing. The farmer that
has plenty Of old corn left over might
use it instead of growing a email crop
Of sweet corn to start his hogs, but
ordinarily l think it best to start a
hog on green corn, and it is cheapest.
Farmers don't begin feeding hogs SC
early as they should, as a rule. The
fall months are the best to feed in. The
corn is in the best condition. More
pounds of meat to the bushel, with
less labor, can be made in the fall
better han at any other season. The
farmer does not get .the very best o.
pork who puts of feeding until::' corr
natures, and then feeds on all dry,
corn diet. Green foodlshould be pro
vided as late in the season as posi-.
bic. A late planting of evergreen
corn comes in and lasts up till colo
weather sets in. For a later greer
food resort must be had to roots-

Why tarns every eye, with its gaze sad and
tender,
The hlack pail 10 greet as it comes with
slow pace,
bmsHhy swells every bosom with signing and
sorrow
As they pause at the grave-the last rest
ing places
| All! we mourn for the death OF one brave
and beloved
The frat that has fallen of our gallant
His bright eyes are closed and his ringing
voice silent,
No more shall We meet him with glad
eager hand.
There droops the fond mother, her pallid
lip quivering;
No more shall she clasp her dear boy to
her breast,
Nor caress his bright hair, nor kiss his white
forehead
His loved form is stiIled in a motionless
rest
She clings to the father-his stern eyes are
welling
With hot tears that shut the sad scene
from his sight;
He yearns for his first-born, cut down in
his manhood,
When his young hopes were high and
the future seemed bright.
We gaze on them mutely, with hushed,
thrilled emotion
We note the bright flag as it rests ON his
bier;
God bless the young soldier is the cry of
each bosom,
AS We breathlessly lean forward, sup
pressing each tear.
The coffin is lowered mid deep sobs and
signing,
The loosened clods fall on the lid with
strange sound;
Our sad hearts are chilled for a season in
silence,
But soon it is over with pride they re-

For is he not ours-ah the brave and the

The valiant young hero with blood

We priced him sincerely, but in our hearts

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.


What Baking Posoders SAdR We Ue'
| This plain question comes home to
every housekeeper. We all desire
pure and wholesome food, and this
cannot be had with the use Of impure
or poisonous baking powder. There
can be no longer question that all
the cheaper, lower grades of baking
powders contain either alum, lime or
phosphate acid. As loath as We may
be to admit so much against what
fmsy have been some Of our house,
hold gods, there can be no gainssy.
ing the unanimous testimony of official
chemists. Indeed, ANALYSTS seem to
find no baking powder entirely free
| from some one Of these Objectionable
ingredients except the Royal and that
they report as chemically pure. We
find some of the baking powders ed.
vertised as pure, to contain, under
the tests of Professors Chandler, Hab-
irshaw and others, nearly twelve per
cent. of lime, while others are made
from alum with no cream Of tartar.
This, we presume, accounts for their
lack OF levening power as sometimes
complained of by the cook, and the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so
frequently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the infericrity Of
the work done by these powders, the
physicians assure us that lime and
alum taken into the system in such
quantities as this are injurious. Their
physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things? Alum is three cents
pound, lime still cheaper, while
cream Of tartar costs thirty-five or
forty. The reasons for the chemical
purity of the Royal Baking Powder
were recently given in the New York
Times in an interesting description Of
a new method for refining argols, or
crude cream of tartar. 1t seems that
it is only under this process that cream
of tartar can be freed from the lime
natural to it and rendered chemically
pure; that the patents and plant for
this cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half a million dollars
and that they maintain exclusive con.
troll of the rights.
Professor McMurtrie, late chemist
OF the Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, D. c.. made an examina-
tion Of this process, and reported
upon the results attained in the re-
lined cream of tartar. The following
extract from his report would seem
to answer the question repeated at
the head of this article, and which is
SO frequently prOpounded by the
housekeeper:
81 have examined the cream of tar
tar used by the Royal Baking Pow
der Company in the manufacture of
their baking powder, and find it to be
perfectly pure and free from lime in
any form. The chemical tests to
which / have submitted the Royal
Baking Powder prove it perfectly
healthful and free from every delete
rious substance. The Royal Baking
Powder is purest in quality and high
est in strength of any baking powder
Of which l have knowledge"

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDERS.

Among the recent discoveries in
science aud chemistry, none is more
important than the uses to which
common ammonia can be properly
put as lsavening agent, and which
indicate that this familiar salt Is
hereafter to perform an active part in
the preparation Of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedlngly volatile substance. Place
a small portion Of it upon knife and
hold over flame, and 1t will almost
Immediately be entirely developed
into gas and pass off into the air.
The gas thus formed is simple COM
position OF nitrogen and hydrogen.
No residue IL lett from the ammonia.
This gives it It's superiority as q
lsavening power over soda and
cream Of tartar used alone and
and has induced It's use as supple
ment to these articles. A small guam
tity ofammonis in the dough is effec-
tive in producing bread that WILL be
lighter sweeter and more wholesome
than that risen by any other leaven-
ing agent. When it is acted upon by
the heat of baking, the leavening gas
that raises the dough Is liberated. In
this act it uses itself UP. as it were;
the ammonia 10 entirely diffused,
leaving no trace or residuum what
ever. The light, fluffy. fiaky appear
anoe, so desirable In biscuits, ETC.,
and so sought after by professional
cooks, Is said to be impaired to them
only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods have been quick to avail them
selves Of this useful discovery. and
the handsomest aud best bread and
cake are now largely risen by the
aid of ANN onia commbined, OF course
with other Ieavening material.
Ammonia ia one of the best known
products the laboratory. II as it
seems to be justly claimed for 1t, the
application Of its properties to the
purposes of cooking, results In giving
US lighter and more wholesome Dread
biscuit aud cake, it will prove boon
to dyspeptic humanity, and will
speedily force itself into general use
In the new field to which science has
assigned It.
