Impure Food.

Exceeding caution should be exercised in
the purchase of new article of food. Many
recent cases of serious illness have been re-
ported from the use of the new patosit foods
for infants, from untested baking powders,
and cheap flavoring extracts. The desire for
rapid wealth induces INSCRIPTIONS manufac
turers to place anything before the public
that will sell at a large profit, without regard
to its usefulness or healthfulness. At pres
ent there is a great raid upon the baking
powder market, and so many impure and
adulterated articles of this kind have been
found peddled about the country, that the
authorities in several of the States have
taken the necessary action to expose them
The report of the Ohio State Food Commits
sion has shown that large number Of the
baking powders sold here are made from
alum. .phosphates, or a cheap and adulterated
cream of tartar The danger TO the public is
made still greater by the unblushing effront
cry, with which the proprietors of these i'm
pure powders advertise them as perfect,
claiming for them all kinds of false and i'm
possible endorsements.
The official report Of the Ohio State Food
Commission gives the names of a number Of
these impure powders, and the amount Of
impurity and inert matter in each as follows

Fruits and Flowers.


The project of holding the first annual ex-
hibition of the Peninsula Horticultural Soci-
ety, which was abandoned last year on ac-
count Of the general failure Of the fruit crop
has been revived, and the committee on the
exhibition appointed by the society is now
hard at work getting things in shape for the
successful holding of the fair. The society
promises the most magnificent exhibition of
fruits and flowers ever shown in this section
if not in the world They have secured from
Hart & Brother, of Wilmington, large cold
rooms, where an even temperature of 40 is
kept up the year round and where the mois-
Eure in the atmosphere, so detrimental tothe
successful keeping of fruits, is absorbed
through the volatilization of ammonia
through a series of pipes In these rooms
will be stored las the season advances) all
the berries and fruits sent here for exhibition.
And the society is assured by the proprietors
that the fruit will be in as good condition
when taken out as wien placed in them
Thus they expect to show at one time com,
plete variety Of the various fruits and ber-
ries raised upon the Peninsula. Their eXhi-
bitions of growing plants and flowers they
also expect 10 be large and fine, and they
bave already had applications for space from
some of the leading florists of the country
who also intend to offer special premiums.
The premiums of the society are very large
and will draw the finest specimens of fruits
ever seen collected together. Beginning
with a sweepstake prize Of a magnificent
solid silver cup valued at $500, donated to
the society by r Harrison Garrett, of Balti-
more, and others, they range in value down
to $40, including several special premiums of
sGoo each. Besides these special premiums,
there will be hundreds of other prizes ofvar-
ious amounts.
The Association has secured from the State
Of Delaware an appropriation of $500, and
also aid from the State Grange. The exhi-
bitiou has already been endorsed by tile
Board of Trade, our chief city, and the lead
ing citizens generally.
It will be held in the Grand Opera House
in Wilmington, under a special arrangement,
during four days of the third week Of Sep
tember, commencing on the 18th aud ending
on the 2Ist Music will be furnished by the
Hassler's celebrated Philadelphia orchestra,
thus assuring that the musical portion Of the
programme will not be neglected. Arrange
ments are being perfected with the railroad
companies to run excursion trains during the
fair at half rates.

The Culture Of Peanuts.

The peanut requires light, clayey soil,
filed with pebbles, and experienced growers
here assert that the brighter the clay the
better the crop. It should be a clean soil.
corn land is preferred.
Piow the ground this month, or even in
April, to the depth Of say five inches, and if
the land is thin and needs manuriug, open
furrows three feet apart and strew in about
100 pounds of Peruvian Guano. Mix inti-
mately with the sol, then ridge over the fur
row, and throw the whole surface into three
feet beds, reduced to within about three
inches Of the level of the field.
Marx off rows three feet apart, drop two
kernels, carefully hu1led by hand, at the in
tersection of these rows, and cover about two
inches deep with hoe. Use only fine dirt
in covering. If after two weeks Of favorable
weather, the plants do not appeal, ,replanting
must follow. The time when cultivation
ceases, is about August Ist The crop should
be harvested between the middle and last of
October. Select time when the weather
is settled and favorable, and loosen the vines
along the rows with pronged hoe, Pull
up the vines, shake off the dirt, and leave
them in the same place. Two days of dry
weather will sufficiently cure them to be
stocked. Stock around a pole eight feet
high, the roots inside; place logs, with the
ends on poles, on the ground. to prevent
mold from dampness leaving space enough
around the pole that air may circulate from
bottom to top; cap with hay or corn fodder.
Two weeks of stacking is long enough to
wait to begin picking, taking on only the
matured pods. Pick by hand. Then screen
in a cylinder, sun a few hours, and pack into
four or Eve bushel sacks for market
