FOE PURE FOOD.
The SAN Francisco Board OF Health
Notifies Consumers Which IL the
Best Baking Powder.
[San Francisco Chronicle. ]

San Francisco Chronicle
The Board of Health can engage
in no more laudable occupation
than the examination of our food
supply and the instruction of the
public as to those articles it finds
to be pure and wholesome, and
which, therefore, consumers should
use.
There are quantities of baking
powders in the market to use which
is certain detriment to the health
of the consumer. They are made
from alum, or improperly COM
pounded from other chemicals, SO
that they leave strong alkaline
residiuum in the food. Many of
these powders, having been prohib-
tied from sale in the East, have
been collected by their manufact-
urers from the dealer with whom
they were left on commission, and
shipped to the Pacific Coast. The
public knows nothing about their
quality except what it reads in the
newspaper advertisements. In the
effort to gain a foot-hold in this
market INSCRIPTIONS manufactur-
ers of these cheaply made, low
grade baking powders have indulg-
ed in extravagant statements both
with reference to their own and
other brands, claiming the most
Endorsements for their goods and
denouncing the best known and
longest used upon the Pacific Coast.
| The action of the physicians of
the Board of Health, therefore, in
giving the public reliable, authori-
tative information as to the brand
of baking powder to be used TO Sc
cure the most economical and
wholesome food is most valuable
and timely.
The chief brands of baking pow
der sold upon the Pacific Coast
were collected and analysed by
Messrs. Thomas Price & Son, the
well-known analytical chemists of
San Francisco. They found the
strength or leavening gas of the
Royal Baking Powder to equal 1911.
cubic inches per ounce of powder,
which was 70 inches more than the
average amount of gas derived from
the other powders.
The general usefulness of q bak-
ing powder depends upon the guam
tity of leavening gas it gives off.
AS these powders are retailed at
about the same price, the most eco
nomical is also apparent.
The opinion of the Board of
Health is as follows:
We, the members of the Board of
Health of the City of San Francis
co, cordially approve and recon-
mend the Royal Baking Powder.
1t is absolutely pure and healthful,
composed of the best ingredients, of
the highest strength and character.
In our judgment, it is impossible
to make purer or stronger baking
powder than the Royal.

Ammonia and alum are the most
common adulterants used in the
manufacture of baking powders.
The Government report shows that
large percentage of the baking
powders on the market contain
either one or the other, or both
these pernicious drugs.
What woman would use an am
monia or alum baking powder if
she knew it? Such powders not
only undermine the health, but am
monia gives to the complexion a
sallow or blotched appearance. The
presence of ammonia or alum in a
baking powder, however, can easily
be detected.
TO DETECT AMMoNIA-Mix one
heaping teaspoontul of baking pow
der with one teaspoonful of water
in a tin cup; boil thoroughly for a
few minutes, stir to prevent burn
ing, and if ammonia is present you
can smell it in the rising steam. Or,
place can of the suspected pow
der top down on a hot stove for
minute or two, then take off the
cover and smell.
To DETECT ALUM.-Alum powder
can be tested by putting a couple of
teaspoonfuls OF the powder in a
glass of cold water. If no efferves-
cence, that is bubbling or simmer
ing, takes place, condemn the pow
der and return at once.

A Farm Implement Which Is Highly
Praised by Its Designer.
Among the improved farm imple-
ments in use by progressive young
farmer of this vicinity is a combined
marker and turnover of his own de-
sign, which he claims to be better
adapted to his use than anything he had
tried before. The runners are cut from
three-inch material, three and one-half
feet long, and ten inches wide. These
are placed at the proper distance apart
and firmly held in position by cross
pieces In front and behind, each end
being notched into the runner and
fastened down with two coach screws
four inches long and three-eighths of
an inch in diameter. Over these cross
pieces, and in the center between the
runners another piece is bolted and al
lowed to extend six inches forward and
foot or more backward. A "V-shaped'
piece Of iron fastened upon this re-
ceives one end of the gauge, which is
firmly braced by three-eighths-inch
rod connecting with ring bolt at the
forward extremity of the center-piece,

be the direct effect of lack of lime in

cipally upon grain requires supply o.
carbonate of lime from which to build
up its bony structure, just as the hen
requires it to make egg shells 1t is
possible that the effort to properly shell
the egg from insufficient material may
divert the usual supply of lime to that
use, to the detriment of the bones to
such an extent that the legs are no
longer able to perform their function
OF one thing l am certain-that large,
strong, healthy fowls cannot be pro-
duced without abundant supply of bone
producing food, and if the soil does not
furnish it other provision must be
made The bones are subject to con-
slant waste, like other parts of the
body, and that waste must be made up

Sand on the Garden.

Twenty-four years ago, says John ].
Thomas, we had three or four inches of
sand carted on part of a garden, the
soil of which was too clayey for the
successful or convenient raising of gar
den vegetables. When this sand was
well worked in the whole became an
excellent sandy loan, just the soil for
agreeable working. The labor of draw
ing on the sand was considerable; but
it was done in winter when there was
little else for the man and team to do,
and the fine condition Of the soil re-
mains as good us at first and probably
will for century to come, as the sand
does not cvaposate, wash away or be-
come consumed in the growth Of plants

are inserted which support seat at
proper height. The front corners of
this seat are rounded and the center of
the front end cut slightly hollow. 1t
is placed just far enough forward to
allow this hollow part to rest solidly
against the gauge when in a perpen-
dicular position, as in the engraving,
holding it securely while turning or in
driving to and from the field. To pre-
vent wear piece of strap iron is tackled
across tho front end of the seat, and
another On the gauge where it strikes
the seat The elasticity of the legs al
lows the gauge to pass the slight swell
on either side. The driver can operate
this without leaving his place, as would
be necessary with other forms, and
when raised both hands are free to use
the lines
Of course, the distance from the
center of the machine to the center of
of the gauge marker must be exactly
twice that between the centers of the
runners. The gauge marker is made
comparatively light, IA or Is inches
high, and but or 10 inches long, the
object of making it so high being to
carry the pole above the runner This
is rather disadvantage, for it is much
more liable to break by catching on

THE POULTRY YARD.

Ducks are enormous eaters and some
times it is difficult to determine when
they have had enough.
WITH goslings it is important to give
abundant nourishment from the start
in order to secure good growth.
IT is only in exceptional cases that il
can be made profitable to keep poultry
confined on the farm. Give them free
range.
TWENTY eggs is a good average for
geese; they are not nearly so prolific
layers as ducks, and unless they be.
gin laying very early will lay only one
clutch.
If your chickens are well fed so as to
make rapid growth they ought to be
ready to market when they are six
weeks, and at latest when they are two
months old.
THE large breeds are much the best
for capons, and the operation should
be performed when the cockerels are
two or three months old, although it is
possible to use older fowls.

Bran as a Dairy Food,

An Iowa correspondent says he has
experimental with feeding bran, and
fails to discover that it has any real
value in it. He wants us to explain
''if you can" what virtue there is in
wheat bran! Well, that takes some of
our breath, and with what we have left
we inquire if all those who are paying
from SIG to $24 per ton for it are de-
luded mortals, and throwing their
money away? Chemistry says there is
11.72 per cent of albuminoids; 44.66 of
carbohydrates, and 2.5S per cent. fat in
wheat bran; and that it is worth 81. OF
per 100 pounds to feed when oatmeal is
worth Sl.19 per 100 pounds. If our
friend does not believe this, and really
wants to know, let him try feeding two
pigs of equal weights and same litter,
the two feeds, and see how he comes
out at the end of three months. If he
really wants to down" the chemist,
and prove vain the general opinion OF
good feeders, that is a good way for
him to make demonstration IIoard's

and shaped differently Gig 2, Az.
Another improvement of doubtful
general utility, but especially suited to
his case, was made by my neighbor,
whose farm is rather billy. He found
that his marker would slide downhill
despite every effort to keep it on the
proper line, and to remedy this he made
his runners of two 115-inch pieces
bolted together, with piece of a cross
cut saw blade at the bottom of each,
extending nearly the entire length of
the runner and two inches below it, as
shown in Fig, 3 (B). 1t proved sue
cess with him, but turning is rendered
much more difficult, and where not alb
solutely necessary it is thought best to
omit this feature.
To make turnover of this machine,
cut out deep but very narrow mortise
in each runner (see dotted lines in Fig.
3, b.. These are made to receive the
forward ends of wrought-iron beams,
carrying a large cultivator shovel a
short distance behind each runner
Handles are attached to these beams,
and when turning or driving to and
fro, the beams are thrown forward I'M
til they rest against the front edge of
the mortise, in a nearly upright posi-
ton. The beams should be placed as
low as possible, that they may not in
terfere with the gauge while in use. A
two-inch hole cut through just below
the mortise allows the escape of any
dirt that may fall into it. While Just
this form of implement may not be
needed on many farms, there are good
points about it which may be made of
practical use by nearly every farmer

GROWING SWEET POTATOES
Methods OF Cultivation Practiood by q
Nebraska Farmer,

NeDrAske Ehrmor'
We select tolerably sandy soil foi
sweet potatoes. Some prefer not to
plow the land before ridging, CT siming
that the potatoes are shorter and better
formed, but we plow the land in April
and about May 20 we throw up ridges
by turning the burrows together with
an ordinary plow. Now any time after
rain or during cool spell we set our
plants first raking the top off the ridge
to remove the clods. We set plants
about twelve to eighteen inches apart
in the row either making a hole with
the hand or using dibble, putting
them down a little deeper than they
grew in the hot bed In few days we
lightly rake the top II the ridge to
break the crust.
When the weeds begin to show we
use the hoe on the ridges and cult
vator in the middle. Shotid the vines
take root we run hoe handle under
them and throw them over on to the
opposite side of the row. Now is the
time to get away with any weeds as
the vines are not in the way. In day
or two the sun will have dried up the
little roots on the vines. Then turn
from the other side. We begin digging
about September 1. Should the frost
strike the vines, they should be cut off
just at the top of the ground as if left
on the potatoes are injured. We uss
the ordinary spading fork for digging
We find it best as the potatoes are not
so badly bruised as when plowed out
and sweet potatoes cannot be handled
too carefully as they rot very easily.
1t Is best to market as soon as dug
unless the best Of facilities are at hand
for keeping. The seed may be had of
any reliable scotsman. 1t is much
cheaper to buy plants than to grow
chem unless wanted in large quaint.

WHY THEY WEAR RED,
Reasons for tho Scarlet Jackets Worn
the British Regiments.


the British Regiments.
When in 1851 the duke of Wellington
asked Lord Stanhope then war minis
ter, as to when the English army first
wore red, he was told that the custom
dates from the time of Charles III. The
duke thought it was earlier, and Lord
Macaulay said he was right and that
the commonwealth army wore red. 1t
will be of interest, perhaps, to see when
this color was first adopted by the Brit
ish army
AS carly as the campaign in Spain in
1867, in support of Peter the Cruel, and
also in the following reign of Richard
H., the English soldier appears to have
been in white and with red cross of
st. George on his breast and back, In
1851 there is evidence of red being
adopted for a small number of men at
least, when a contingent for the army
of the King Maker (the earl of Warwick
was sent from Rye dressed in red coats.
In 1470 a detachment of fifteen men
sent from Canterbury for the Calais
garrison, and others for London, were
supplied with red "jackettis" of cloth
at three shilling yard and having on
them ''roses of white karsay" as
badges.
Henry VII. in 1885 instituted the yoe-
men of the guard, and they were the
nucleus of the present standing army
of England. Their dress, as it still
continues, was red In Elizabeth's
reign the army wore variety of colors,
but change occurred in 1884, when
some of the troops for Ireland wore
coats of molly and others of "sadd
greene or russell" This cavalry at this
time wore red cloaks and breeches, and
the infantry who went to the low coun-
tries wore red coats An incident at
the siege of Rouen, in 1891, shows that
red was looked upon as the English color;
for in mentioning the death of one of
the earl of Essex's captains it is re-
marked that the Frenchman who shot
him got near enough to doso by putting
on the red coat of dead English SOL
der. In 1913 the kings life guards, as
also the queens and Prince Ruperts,
wore red coats. Monks regiment now
Coldstream guards) was the first to wear
red coats with green facings in 1850.
At the restoration red became the ma
tional color of the British army, and
except in the case of the Irish brigade,
the Swiss guards and perhaps few
other instances red has been the dis
tlnguishing color of the English forces.
