BAKING POWDERS.
OFFICIAL TESTS OF THE OHIO
STATE FOOD COMMISSIONERS.
Analyses Of the Chief Brands Of the
country-Their Strength and
Value Ascertaiued.

The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
mission, under the direction of the Legis.
hture of that State, has made public the
result of its recent official examination Of
the baking powders of the market. As
many of the brands analyzed are in use
throughout the country, the report of the
Commission will be found of general in.
terest.
The startling fact is brought out by the
report that of the thirty different brands of
baking powder analysed. twenty are made
from alum, Il substance declared by the
highest medical authorities to be injurious
to health when used in food.
The Commission classify the baking
powders into three general divisions, ac-
cording to their value:
1st. Cream of Tartar Taking Powders.
I'd. Phospate Baking Powders.
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The Commission explains that the best
baking powder is that which, the ingre-
dents being healthful, gives off the largest
amount OF leavening gas and leaves the
smallest amount of residuum in the bread
a small amount of carbonate of ammonia,
which is considered healthful, is used in
some of the cream of tartar powders to
give them higher strength. The Com.
mission says that the alum is undoubtedly
hurtful salt. The report ranks the
powders and shows the amount in each of
inert results. which in using 1t would
appear as residuum in the bread as fol-
lows:

SAVIOR in Dairy Sailing.

A Wisconsin dairyman lately told ms

son and early in the summer ran out OF
salt, and having read in an agricultural
paper that COWS do just as wei without
salt he neglected to get another barrel.
The drouth came, the milk flow dropped
to about 200 pounds day, which gave
no profit, nor did it increase after the
pastures were freshcned by rains. He
bought q carload OF millstuIf and began
feeding, but still received only go
pounds of milk day. and several of the
cows would hold up their milk once or
twice week. TEcn he began to salt
regularly every day, and the COWS inn
proved at once and the increase was
steady until on the same feed they were
producing $40 pounds Of milk day, and,
instead OF being kept at a loss, yielded u
fair profit. The farmer needs to be

Will set in, and the result will be disease
known as thrush. This may be cured by
washing the creases along the frog with
dllution of carbolc acid, or with brine
and then packing dry salt in the spaces.
The packing OF the earth will Often max e

gravel or small stone is pressed into the
sole of the foot and kept there. Some
times the gravel will force its way
through the sole and only come out at
che top of the foot When this is the
case the horse is very lame and it takes a
month or two for it to get over the pain
ful trouble. The feet OF horse should
always be cleaned ont after q drive in the
mud, and when they are packed with
snow. The bottom OF the foot and the
frog should be let alone both by owner
and blacksmith, and not be cut down. A
