Chean Fodder.

Ten acres of soiling crop will give
the same results as sixty acres of pas
ture, and during the hot, dry months
of August and beginning of September.
when the pastures are burned up, will
prove vastly more satisfactory. One
man for an hour during the early
morning will cut enough for two
meals, and the feeding to the animals
is only very short chore.
Hiram Smith, who keeps nearly loo
cows on 200 acres of land, depends
very largely on soiling. He sows win
ter rye for the early feed; when the
rye gets too woody, he then changes to
clover; then follows millet, succeeded
by fodder corn and the second cutting
of clover. He is a man who figures
cost very closely, and claims that for
making a pound of butter ordinary
pasture is the most costly of any kinds
of farm food - odrd'S Ddirymaa.
Quite a number of farmers in this
section will try an acre or more of fod-
der corn this season, we would like to
see a few sow a little millet. The
fact that other men in other places
are feeding cows, that produce more
cream, on less land and at less ex-
pense should stimulate us to at least
try a few of their methods.

A study of the butter market Just
now will prove especially instructive to
those who have claimed that 0leo did
not come in competition with the best
brands of butter. Chicago quotations
a year ago were as follows: Elgin ex-
ira 2lg22lSc; choice TO fine creamery
1920. The present state of the
market shows a stronger price by &c to
&c and the demand firm. This is the
case all over the United States. The
fact is, the COW and not the hog has the
call on the demand for home consump-
tion. a strong buoyant market rules
now and the consumer is not swindled
quite SO badly as a year ago into pay
ing lirst-class butter prices for deodor-
lied soap fats. -Hoard's Dairgmcn.
We believe the Dairyman is right
and that the prospects in regard TO
price of butter in the ruling markets
of the country will warrant us in
guaranteeing good prices for cream all
summer. We firmly believe that the
price of cream will not go as low, by
? cts, as it did last season. The farm
ers and dairymen of this country did
not make mistake when they de-
manded of our national lawmakers
the passage of our present Oleomar-
garine law.

The Danger Before Us.

We have already alluded to the inn
pOrtance of housekeepers paying more
attention to the kind of baking pow
der used in leavening their bread.
This is a matter to which we cannot
draw attention too often, because it is
something which involves the most
serious consequences to the general
body of mankind. Temperance apps.
ties tell us-and there is ample fOunda-
ton for the statement-tbat there is
disease, both moral and physical, in
the intoxicating cup; and in the same
way there is disease, slow perhaps, but
certain, in the lime and alum leaven-
ing agents employed in many of the
homes on this continent.
No punishment is too severe for those
manufacturers who place these poison
Gus alum and lime baking powders be-
fore the public with the assurance
that they are pure and wholesome
articles. In the belief of the truth of
such statements such baking powders
are largely used in the preparation of
food, and in this way the poisonous
ingredients are taken into the system
without a suspicion of their pres
ence. BY and by come spells of head
ache, distress in the stomach. loss of
appetite, fiuttering of the heart; the
child is seized with an apparently
cauSeless cough. The coating of the
stomach is destroyed. perhaps; one of
the vital organs is rendered almost
useless; the kidneys are attacked with
Bright's disease. The health of the
child is irreparably broken down; the
Il IL n N ~
These are the dOings of the modern
cheap baking powders that are compos-
ed of lime and alum, or that contain
sulphuric or phosphate acids.
In view of these facts surely all
housewives should exercise the care
that is, we know, now exercised by
some in the selection of a proper brand
of baking powder. She who does not
do so, whether the neglect is the re-
suit of ignorance or recklessness, can
not free herself from the responsibility
for the health. perhaps life, thereby
endangered. No housewife need be
ignorant of the quality and compost
tiOn of the article which she uses to
leaven her bread, biscuit and cake.
The official reports of the government
chemists. who are certainly unprejudic-
ed, have been published and show very
clearly the quality and strength of all
the baking powders in the market.
The Royal Baking Powder, which is
accessible at every hand, is reported
absolutely free from lime, alum, phos-
phatic acid, or any injurious ingre-
dent. 1t is further stated by the most
eminent authorities on food hygiene
that food leavened with it is more
wholesome than when raised by any
other method. Its use is therefore to
be commended. 1t is to be regretted
that no other baking powder, when
there are 50 many in the market, some
of which will find their way into use,
is free from all of these substances.
The official analysts assure us, how
ever, that all except the Royal con-
tain either lime or alum. The house
keeper who regards the health of her
loved ones should not only order the
Royal, but make personal examination
to be sure that no other brand is sent
her in its place.
