OUR DAILY BREAD.

HEAVY and sour bread or biscuit has q
vast influence through the digestive or.
gans upon the measure of health we en-
joy. How important to our present
happiness and future usefulness the
blessing of good health and a sound
constitution are, we can only realize
when we have lost them, and when II
is too late to repair the damage. Not
withstanding these facts, thousands OF
persons daily jeopardize not only their
health, but their lives and thehealhs and
lives OF others, by using articles in the
preparation OF their food the purity and
healthfulness OF which they know moth
Ing. Perhaps few cents may have
been saved, or it may have been more
convenient TO obtain the articles used,
and the housekeeper takes the response
bility and possibly will never know the
mischief that has been wrought. Pa
terfamilias may have spells Of head
ache, the children may have lost their
appetites, or look pale; If so the true
cause is rarely suspected. The wealth
err, the lack Of outdoor air or some 9TH
er cause is given, and the unwholesome
poisonous system of adulterated food
goes on. Next to the flour which should
be made of good sound wheat and not
ground too fine the yeast or baking pow
der which furnishes the rising prop
critics, is of the greatest importance,
and Of the two we prefer baking pow
der, and always use the Royal, Ms we
thereby retain the original properties
OF the wheat, no fermentation taking
place. The action of the Royal Baking
Powder upon the dough is simply to
swell it and form little cells through
every part These cells are filled with
carbonic acid gas. which passes off dur
ing the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid, and it is the action Of this acid up
on highly carbonized bicarbonate of So
da that generates the gas alluded to;
and these ingredients are SO pure and so
perfectly fitted, tested ard adapted
to each other, that the action is mild
and permanent, and is continued dur
ing the whole time of baking, and no
residue of poisonous ingredients re-
mains to undermine the health, no
heavy biscuits no sour bread, but if d.
rections are followed, every article will
be found sweet and wholesome.

A Kansan's Experience in Ark
anSaS,


Editor Russellville DEMOCRAT:
Having just arrived in your coun-
ty from Kansas, we thought we would
write few items for your paper, (if
accepted Of things as we see them.
We landed in Russellville on the Both
day of Nov. last about the middle of
the afternoon, with II cents in our
pocket, a stranger in strange land.
We had no feed for our team and not
much for ourselves, so we tied our
team to the bushes to live on Arkan-
sas air, and retired to rest ourselves;
some time in the night we were sur
prised by some one calling us, and
still more surprised when they told
US to get up and go with them and
get feed for my teams the GENTLEMAN
took US to his stable and gave US feed
and then helped US carry it to the
camp. The next day several gentle
men offered to assist us In the way
of feed, surely this generous people.
We came to this county through the
recommendation of members OF the
bureau of immigration, and the I'M
migration edition of your paper and
so far as we have seen the country
we find it as represented and better
than we expected. We expect to try
farming in this country and would
like to write our experience that
those who may wish to come here
may see how we succeed. | will
probably critlcise some OF the modes
of farming here and will expect to be
criticised.
If this is accepted / will come
again. ARK. TENDERFooT.

The supreme lesson of the fire Is that
the time Is fully arrived for the organ
ization OF fire department. Delays
are dangerous. Let some one take the
iniatiye step.
The cause of the fire is not certainly
known, but IL is believed that it origin
ated from the waste opener, a new ma
chine, the revolutions of which were so
rapid that the friction doubtless set fire
to the highly inflamable. material sur
rounding it.

The chief difference we discover be-
tween the Mills tariff bill and the
Senate tariff bill is in the wool schedule.
The total amount Of reduction. in both
bills amounts to about the same
amount. One reduces. the tax on.
clothing and the other on tobacco.
The great question between the parties
seems to be reduced to whether we
shall have cheap clothing or cheap
tobacco. But what we consider. of
most Importance to the farmers of this
country is the position the two, lead
ing parties seem to have taken upon
the question of "trusts" and "com-
bines." Lest we be accused of being
partisan we will not discuss this matter
further, but will suggest to our read.
ers to take any two Of the great daily
newspapers, one representing each of
the political parties, and compare their
editorials. One will say nothing about
trusts" while the other will be out
spoken against them, What the one
don't say is the most significant part
of the whole business. Farmers

TOP PRICED BUTTER.

The manufacturer of extra choice
butter is cleverly and briefly summed
up in the following from the Agracul-
turat Gazette: Anyone who has a
good sweet pasture, who keeps his
dairy and every u~tensil in it scrupul-
ously clean, who never churns cream
more than sixty hours old from the
COW, and always at the proper tenn
perature, tested by a thermometer,
who uses a proper churn (there are
lots of them), .ventilating his churn at
%invervals by taking out the plug; who
stops churning the moment the butter
shows its itself in small grains not so
large as wheat; who then lets the
churn rest until the butter all floats
up to the top, and then carefully let's
out the butter-milk,1 and replaces 1T
with clean cold water, turning it very
slowly; who again let's the chnrin stop
to let the butter float. up and then lets
out the milky water and replaces it
with a fresh supply of cold water;
who then. gives the churn very few
slow turns round, and then a little
faster, so as to gather the butter into
a sort of Plump, and then lets out the
butter with a cloth Owe both hands,
SO as not to touch it, and then, when
cool, works it with a proper butter
worker and never touches it with his
hands, but only with wooden hands,
will most assuredly make top-priced
butter"
