Don't Blame the Cook

If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no can know how to use it, and uni
formy good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health by accepting any sub
sttutc for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment Of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used and make more
wholesome food.

1t is apparent to all who are
not fools that the spirit which
consigns to hell Ben Butler would
also be pleased to know that
every man who stood by the
cause he represented were in the
same place. Be it known to this
representative of Southern senli-
ment that B. +. Butler when
alive courted not their smiles,
nor feared their frowns; neither
is he injured in the estimation of
all loyal men, nor with his God
by the hendish delight and devil
iSh utterances of this Southern
representative. If Uncle Ben has
been weighed in the balances,
and found wanting, and has
been banished from the presence
of his God, the spirit that exults
over such a possibility is devilish
If this is the spirit of the whole
Southern country, rs their self
constituted representative claims
it is, then they may rest assured
that the whole Solid South is
doomed to inhabit the land to
which they have consigned Uncle
Ben. If they can take any COM
fort out of the prospect of living
with the old man again they are
welcome to it.

The Rural Sew-Yorker.

A bold stephas been taken By that best
and foremost of farm papers. The Rural
New-Yorker, in reducing its subscription
pric. from 50 to 81 year, and that, too,
without any reduction in the quality or
character of the paper It's publishers
have acted OH the principle OF the greatly
increased circulation making up for the
lower price. Indeed, the paper is con-
stantly being improved in all depart
ments, and is clearly the leading agricul.
tural newspaper of America, as it has
been for much of .he time during the last
AZ years. With its superior corps of edi.
tors (unequalled by any other half dozen
farm papers) it's experiment farm, its
great list of farmer contributors in all
parts OF the country, it's costly and prac-
teal and beautiful illustrations-alto-
gether involving cost of production
greater perhaps than of any farm paper
with all these features it is marvel that
the paper can be sold for 81 year. OF
course it could not be, save for the fact
that progressive farmers in all sections
give it hearty support in such vast num-
bers. Every year The Rural New-Yorker
sends out to it's subscribers seeds and
plants of valuable new varieties, orig
mated on its experiment grounds. These,
in total, are estimated as having been
worth millions Of dollars to American ag-
ricuiture. This season Editor Carman
has a rare treat in this line, proposing to
send IL new roses, Rosa rugosa hybrids,
a new grade, new early potato, and
seed of 200 cross-bred tomatoes--all to
every subscriber paying for the mailing.
Free sample copies of the paper NAV be
had by addressing The RuralNew-Yo rkcr,
