BAKING POW
In the New York Leglslature.


The following, taken from "The
Gil, Paint and drug Reporter" refers
to a new bill just introduced in the
legislature of New York State:
"The latest development in the
baking powder war, is the introduce
ton of a bill in the legislature OF this
State, requiring allpackages OF baking
powder which contain ammonia, to
be branded with a statement of that
fact in large type on the label,
Now while the ammonia contention
is on, why cannot the law give the
public the benefit of the doubt? Who'll
~ unprecedented people are certainly
not willing to be dosed with the sub
stance acknowledged rs a poison, SIM
ply because scientists, some OF whom
are not even Psychologists, disagree
as to its potency"
A similar bill was introduced last
April but it is shrewdly surmised that
the influence of interested parties pre-
vented it's passage. The provisions
of the present bill are so lust that
it probably will soon become a law.
This will be welcome news to the
manufacturers of pIre Cream of Tar
ter baking powders, the most prom.
inent of whom is the Price Baking
Powder Co. of Chicago and st. Louis,
makers OF DIR. Prices Cream Bak-
ing Powder, who have always madea
strictly pure Cream of Tartar powder,
notwithstanding the temptations of
adulteration suggested by the enor-
nous profits realized by u large New
York concern which uses ammonia,
and advertise it's powder as strictly
pure, by means OF garbled official re-
ports and certificates signed by its
own employees, dubbed professor, doc
tor or government chemist, as fancy
may dictate,
A bill compelling alum powders to
be conspicuously labelled as such, al
ready exists in Minnesota and it is to
be hoped in the interest of the on
sumner that similar laws will soon be
enacted in other states, for ammonia
as well as alum.
The following powders known to
| contain either ammonia or alum or
both, will be affected by the proposed
legislation:
Royal, Pearl, Calumet, Chicago

How to Raise horse-Radlsh.

80 Wis
Horse-radish can be planted either
in fall or spring, it being an entirely
hardy plant. The practice, however,
is to plant in the spring, and among
those who make the most OF their
land, and crop every foot as much as
it will carry it is placed on the ground,
Tor example, rs a second crop. The
method is somewhat as follows: In
the spring, where land is no object
or, as We said before, the fall will do
each set should be inserted in the
ground with a dibble, so as to be just
below the surface, the hole being made
perpendicular, and the set made fast
by a b~ack-thrust of the dibble.
1t no other crop is to be taken off,
they should be set sixteen inches apart
each way in q hole ten or more inches
deep. Ordinary cultivation during the
summer will by fall give a solid root
sometimes n half-pound weight. AS a
second crop they are lined between
early cabbage, or almost any other
vegetable.
The crop OF cabbage for first use is
generally about two feet apart. Line
out a row every foot and plant the
cabbage every alternate row. When
this is completed place horse-radish
sets between. The early crop will
have become nearly ready for the
market before the horse-radish makes
much of a stir, and by the time the
cabbage or other crop comes off, and
the whole land is given up to horse
radish the latter is ready TO takehold,
and will bring nearly as good returns
as ifgiven the entire land to perfect in.
OF course, as all we'll know. this
double cropping can only be done on
good, ~well-manured soil In many
cases where ordinary field cultivation
Is depended upon, one crop will prob
ably be the better. This business OF
raising horse-radish in large guam
titles is more remunerative to those
who have farms near some large viii
lage Or city, as enormous quantities
are sold in the fall to men who make
a business of putting up in bottles
this pleasant continent, and shipping
it to all parts of the world. tits now
put up in vinegar, but it will not,
however, keep very long. Hence it q
not be treated as ordinary canned
goods.

A Young Man, In Financial Straits.
Refills His Purse by HIS Ingenu-
ity.
II you take a trip to the races you
will notice among the crowd that
packs the betting ring a couple of
young men with white oilcloth caps
who vend a little pamphlet which al
leges to give alrtight and eopper-riv-
eted tips on the "sure things of the
day.
In the summer these oilcloth caps
areto be found at all the tracks, and
the story other origin is an old one.
Three or four years ago a young
nan who followed the steeds as a
means ofearning his daily angel cake
found himself at a course some dis
lance from town without q solitary
coin IN his pocket. Misplaced conf
denee in the ability of sundry blooded
barbs had landed him fiat on his
financial back, and the problem of
getting back to his native heath be-
came a serious one.
At this juncture it so CHANGED that
a bit of valuable information Concern
ing a previously unknown horse was
given him. He was assured that the
beast, despite the enormous odds
against him, would win that after
noon, and he was advised to put his
last cent on the animal. Not havinga
last cent he borrowed a stack of
writingpaper and envelopes-and wrote
down this tip and several Others that
had been given him. p
These envelopes he retailed at the
track for a dime apiece. Every horse
that he named was a winner and he
repeated the experiment the following
day. The envelopes went like. hot
cakes; he vas again successful in nam
ing nothing but winners, and
the fame of the young man went
abroad in the land.
Today he has an Office on Broad
way, prints the selections OF all the
morning papers in company with his
own in the before mentioned pamph-
let, and realizes a neat sum daily
from it's sale.
And they do say that he never backs
his own tips.-New York Commercial

About Rennet.

A rennet is at it's best when a
healthy calf is between three and five
days old, and has a stomach full OF
milk. Sailing and stretching over a
bow is better than to fill full OF salt.
None but the best and cleanest salt
should ever touch it. ii stretched
over a stick or filled with salt, hang
it in a pure, dry air, so that the
skins do not touch each other, sthey
will mould if they do. Many believe
the older they are, If kept dry and
white, the stronger they arc but we
don't know about that, but used
them when dried to a crisp condition.
When ready to extract the rennet
element from them, soak them in wa
ter that has been boiled and cooled,
with salt enough in it to keep the lq-
uor from tainting, as it is an animal
substance and will faint nearly as
quickly as fresh meat, Lukewarm
water will hasten the process, but in

and twenty, for that temperature
ruins the rennet and makes the co.
agulating element inert and worthless.
Let the skins soak a week or more,
than handle and squeeze, getting as
strong liquor as possible from them;
then setthem again in morefresh water,
and get liquor of less strength, always
bearing in mind to avoid weak solu-
tions as much as possible. Then mix
the first and second tinctures, so that
all will be of one strength. To purify
the liquor, filter it through layers OF
straw, clean gravel and charcoal, after
having strained out all animal tissues
by passing through cloth.
Be sure and have it salt enough to
keep well; then put in Jugs, or we'll
covered Jars, and set in cool cellar till
wanted. 1t is well to make enough
early in the spring, when the calf crop
is p%lenteous, to last the season. As
the whole has the same strength, the
cheeze- maker can soon learn how much
OF it to use per m thousand pounds
of milk.
All ToSNbI So1
Seeding to clover is now advisable
in most sections. The old method of
sowing clover on snow il still prac-
ticed by good farmers, though it may
be sown this month upon the bare
ground. 1t generally succeeds well
when sown with spring wheat, rye or
barley. When clover is sown alone,
for seed, about 10 pounds per acre
are used; if for hay or pasture, 16
pounds. If sown alone it will gener-
ally produce n cutting late in the
season, and when sown with wheat
will give valuable pasture after the
grain is harvested. The large kind OF
clover is best for sowing with timothy
for a permanent meadow, as both
mature at the same time; use four
pounds of clover seed and from four
to six quarts of timothy.
Meadows and pastures should be
protected against injury from animals
feeding and trampling upon them at
this season, and until the ground be-
comes settled. Farmers who turn
out their cate very early are wont to
miss it." as they are greater losers
than gamers. 1t is beneficial to roll
the surface of meadows as soon as
dry enough to counteract the roots
by frost. Stones that the roller does
not push down into the soil should be
removed or buried, the latter being
the easiest method. in all grassgrow-
ing sections the care of meadows and
pastures is an important item in farm
economy, and one which no farmer
should neglect.

Sowing Oats Early.

OF all crops grown on the farm,
earliness OF sowing the seed is OF more
Importance with oats, says an ex-
change, than almost any other. OF
course there is no advantage in sowing
in the wind but as far as possible ar
rangements should be made so that
as soon as the soil can be be worked
into a good filth in the spring the
seeding should be done. They will
stand considerable frost with much
less injury than they will the hot sum
mer sun, and in very many S a
fair average crop will be secured from
the early seeding when late seeding
would prove almost a failure.
One OF our best farmers was talking
of this a day or two ago and he said
that he had never tailed to grow a
good crop OF oats and he was satisfied
that the eason was largely due to tho
TACT hat he had made arrangements
ahead so as to get the work done early
and having the soil in agoed filth when
the seeding was done. His plan is to
pillow the ground, il necessaryein the
fall, Il out the burrows so as
to secure good drainage, get the seed
ready and everything in good shape
so as to push the work as rapidly as
possible. As soon as the soil is stnfc
GENTLY dry to work well it is gone
over with a disk barrow, follawed'with
p spring tooth cultivator with a
broadcast seeder attachment that
SONS the oats and works them into
the soil. This in turi, is followed by
good smoothing harrow that not only
fines the soil but leaves the surface in
good filth. Having plenty of teams
the work is all done at once, and from
eight to ten acres a day is put in this
way. The seeding being done early,
the plants soon make a sufficient
growth to fully shade the soil, and
after the weather gets hot and often
dry the plants are much less affected
than when sown later,
In localities subject to drouth, Civ
ing the plants q good opportunity to
get well established before hot wealth
er sets in is an important item, and
oats is no exception. In order to
make oats a profitable crop it is very
necessary to secure a good growth and
yield and every advantage should be
taken to secure this, and early seeding
with the soil in a good filth is one of
the importat items in this.
