tents were using ammonia l would adj
wise them to give it up." In connection
with this remark was the information
that ammonia is an irritant, and that
bread with any quantity in it should be
avoided.
Every physician is not so emphatic in
detail, but none of them spoken to hesl-
tate to call ammonia a poisonous drug.
DR.. Locke does not attempt TO say the
exact extent of harm which may result
from its use in small quantities. But he
knows what it will do if taken in large
quantities. And he calls it poisonous
drug.
The American stomach, because the
pocket of the man W no owns it has been
capaciOus, has been abused. 1t has been
dlSregarded by its pOsSeSsOr, and. OF
course, the man who had something to
make out of it has not been cOnScien-
tiOus about wha. he put into it, or what
he offered it. The American stomach
has done a great deal to lnjure itself.
but the encouragement it has had from
outsiders to make matters worse has
been shameful.
DR.. Talbot Jones has found ammonia
in bread. the drug having been used in
certain baking powder. showing that
the poison was not neutraliZed in the
process of baking. He declares it unfit
for any human food, and says 1t pro-
duceS catarrn Of the stomach and causes
reduction OF the blood, which opens
up avenues to more evils than can. be
named.
In the catalogue of accidents ammo
MIA is a frequent factor, while recently
1t has become an element in self-de-
structlOn, several notable suicides hav
ing occurred from its use. These have
been chronicled by the press, and doubt
ing Thomase5 may have their doubts re-
moved by little investigation on these
points. Names, dates ana places are
very easily obtained. Let ammonia
alone, unless it is administered by the
family physician.
The opinions above given do not IN
clude all the medical profession Of Min
neapOlis and st. Paul, for many of them
were seen and were too busy at the time
to give a second to arepOrter, but others,
equally well known, were emphatic in
their condemnation Of ammonia.
One OF the grandest comforts Of the
American is to feed himself. In doing
so he is very prone TO accept that when
IS temptingly offered without stopping to
Investigate it. The object of food is to
nOurish the stomach. If there is moth
ing nutritive i'll the food the stomach is
not fed. If something is put in the food
which neuralizes the acids of the gas
trio juice and destroys digestion, there
is no nOurishment. The stomach be-
comes a storehouse for that which is
known in the vegetable kingdom as
substance akin to decay. In a c0n-
YersatiOn on these very points, DR..
j. w. Mcdonald denounced am
monia as an irritant in its properties and
declared that. when taken in quantity,
the result would be irritated dyspepsia.
In his belief it is just as wrong to sell
mOnia as it is to sell Oleomargarine for
butter. unless labels accompany the
packages, SO that the purchaser may not
be deceived

A correspondent in Orchard and Gar
den writes: "Sweet potatoes we keep
without trouble by placing good bed of
pine straw beneath them, piling them in
sharp conical heaps aud covering them
thickly with pine straw. A rough board
shed is then built over tho rows Of heaps
to keep the straw from getting wet. They
are allowed 10 remain in this way until
freezing weather is apprehended, and then
Rheavy coat of earth is put over the heaps
and beaten smooth. This course gives
the potatoes a chance to sweat and dry
of under the pine straw cover and when
the earth cover is put on it is kept dry
by the shed, and the dry earth keeps ont
frost much better than If it was allowed
to get wet with rain"
Another correspondent Of the same
journal suggests for localities where
frosts are severe, drying sweet potatoes
In an evaporator for winter use. He says;
"We cut the potatoes in slices, having
first removed the skin-and they dry
very quickly and perfectly. They are re-
stored TO their edible condition by scald-
ing or steaming, and If then placed in an
earthen pan with little sugar and but
ter over the top and baked, they make a
dish ft for farmer king"

Points in Cider Vinegar Making.

l.. R. Bryant, secretary of the Cider
and Cider Vinegar Makers Association Of
the Northwest, recently had the follow
ing to say in Prairie Farmer:
The essentials for making cider vine
gar on a small scale are grinder to
grind up the apples into a fine pulp, a
good press to extract the juice, barrels to
put the juice in, a frost proof room or
cellar to store the product in, and, Of
course, good supply of decent apples.
Ordinarily good windfalls will make
good material for vinegar, but care
should be taken to reject ali immature,
wilted and rotten apples. When the cider
is made it should be put into good iron
bound barrels and ranked up out Of
doors, but in the shade, and allowed 10
ferment. The barrels should be placed
on timbers or poles elevated from the
ground sufficiently to allow the contents
to be run off into other barrels.
On the approach of freezing weather
rack off the vinegar stock into clean bar
rels (only three-fourths filed by means
Of faucet placed in the end of the bar
rel, or preferably with syphon made Of
fve-eighths rubber tubing. This should
be raised an inch above the bottom of the
barrel 10 avoid drawing off the sediment
All settings should be put into sepa-
rate barrel. The barrels can now be
ranked up in their winter quarters, the
bungs taken out and remain undisturbed
until the contents become good vinegar,
provided they are kept in furnace heat
cd collar or artifcially heated room.
An ordinary cellar is too cool to make
vinegar quickly, and il such a place is
used for winter storage the barrels can
be removed to a common shed on the a;,-
pro&ch Of warm weather, remembering
| always to rack off the contents before a
barrel is moved. Never put barrels in
the sun in hot weather, as they will be
spoiled and the contents lost. When the
vinegar is thoroughly made cool, dry
cellar is an excellent place to store it, and
the barrels may be filled and bunged up.
To make good cider or vinegar use
good, clean apples; exposure to heat and
air is what makes vinegar; to have bright,
clear vinegar free from must, rack it be-
fore moving it, If it has been standing
any length Of time, and thoroughly clean
the barrels as soon as ernptied. Good
vinegar cannot be made out of large
quantity Of water and a little cider.
Strong, late made cider may bear the ad-
dition of little water, but that made
early in the season will not.

heart of so many American homes The
French school has developed many archi
tects who are capable of designing splendid
structures, quite as good as any the world
has ever seen along its particular line; viz,
monumental structures Of unlimited cost,
but these architects are without clients,
and we have only the photographs of their
work to show what they may do. When
It comes TO designing low cost buildings
they are utterly at sea. They sit down
and acknowledge failure from the start.
In conversation with an American stu
dent, who was absorbing without discrim-
ination all the ideas which belong to this
school, was compelled to listen to the re-
mark that domestic architecture Is simply
an engineering problem except In the case
Of very expensive structures. In America
we have Thousands of exemplihcations Of
the incorrectHesS Of this statement.

ever, they have given place to less dignified
