The English sparrows and blackbirds are
doing considerable damage to the wheat
fields.
PHILIPPE M0wry was thrown from frae-
tious young lIorse and badly injured, one
day last week
The wheat is well filed but it is standing
very thin on the fields, and is not nearly 50
heavy in the straw as last summer.
Mrs. W S HOrner has been seriously III
fer several weeks. and for time her life was
despaired Of She is nov, however, on a
fair way TO recovery.
Haymakiag and harvesting is all the 90
now. The hay crop is not as large as last
season, but the hay thar has been made thus
far is better than last years crop.
Cherries are ripe and the piczers are plen-
tifuI. but berries are scarce. Raspberries are
ripe. but scarce, and the diligent housewife
sadly inquiries, what shall I use for pies ~
What is the matter with the bees ~
nearly every bee keeper asks. They say this
has been apparently fair summer for bees,
yet they show but little honey, and have
been swarming SO very little.
Our farmers had expected that they would
be very lonesome after the spring elections
were over, and the festive candidate would
no longer be abroad. But it was not the
case, as they have had too much hard work
ever since to feel lonesome,
Hot weather les, very hot = So every
body says. in spite Of the prediction Of the
weather prophets all spring that we would
have 4 cool summer giving as one reason
that nature never errs, but provides for
itself As it provided no ice, very cool
summer was predicted, and no necessity for
ice.

The Public viii Appreciate 1t.


The public are indebted to the Royal Ba-
king Powder Company not more for having
perfected and prepared 4 leayening agent
that IS pure and wholesome beyond ques-
ton than for its exposure, so boldly made,
of the numerous impure adulterated and in
furious articles that are sold under the name
of baking powder bread preparations &c,
throughout the country. In making these
exposures tie company has, of course, made
itself the target for all sorts Of counter at
tacks. but the animns of these attacks has
been perfectly understood by the general
public. and by their very virulenee have
served TO more prominently call attention 70
the good work Of the Royal Company"
Ordinary adulterations such as are found
in coffee, spices, etc although they areswin-
dies in a commercial sense, are often tolera-
ted because they do not particularly affect
the health of the consumer. But when az
article Ike baking powder, that is relied
upon for the healthful preparation of al
most every meal, is so made as to carry high
Iv injurious if not rankly poisonous ele-
ments into cur daily food, it IS the duty of
the public authorities to take cOgnizance Of
H.
In this fight for pure food made by the
:. Royal Company, it is to be noticed that
the most trustworthy scientific authorities
are emphatically upon its side. In all the
contests of this company with the alum and
other impure baking powders, the result has
proved that every statement made by the
ROYAL Baking Powder Company both as to
the purity of its own aad the adulteration of
other baking powders Of the market. was
fully authorized by the most competent
chemical and medical authorities of the
country.
In this contest two facts have been pretty
conclusively settled in the minds of the pub
lic--ihe first that the Royal Company has
found the means, and uses them, to make a
chemically pure article Of food and the
other. that the market Is fiH Of poisonous
alum and other adnlterated baking powders
which. no matter how strongly endorsed by
. commercial chemists, are TO be studi-
ously avoided.
A pure baking powder is one Of the chief
aids to the cook in preparing perfect and
wholesome food The recent controversy in
the press has left il no longer a question with
those who desire purity and wholesomeness
