and an alkali which, if properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonic acid gas A good baking powder
does it's work while the loaf is in the
oven, and having done it, disappears.
But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be GER
tain that it is composed of non-injuri
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are COM
pounded from impure ingredients,
or those which are not COM
bined in proper proportion or care
fully mixed and which will leave either
an acid or an allxali in the bread, must
not be used.
It is well to sound note of warning
in this direction or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be case of jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
The best baking powder made is, as
shown by analysis, the Royal" 1t
contains absolutely nothing but cream
of tartar and soda, refined to chem
ical purity, which when combined UNI
der the influence of heat and moisture
produce carbonic acid gas, and having
done this, disappear. Its leavening
strength has been found superior to
other baking powders, and as far as l
know, it is the only powder which will
raise large bread perfectly. Its use
! avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may ferment and
there is also no kneading necessary.
The two materials used in the Royal,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compromising
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both bav.

method of using the powder insures

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.
Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.

Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star, it is the male that
has the voice. At the base of each
wing cover is a thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. If
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like watchman's
rattlc-clackety-clack, very rapidly re-
peated. There are also some moths
and butterflies which have voices. The
deaths head" moth makes noise
when frightened that strilIingly re.
sembles the crying of young baby.
How it is produced is not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak"
butterfy-a dark species with light
border in it's wings-malics cry of
alarm by rubbing it's wings together.
The katydids, criclSets, grasshoppers
and other musical insects are all ex-
aggerated in the tropics, assuming
giant forms. Thus their cries are pro-
portionately louder. There is an East
Indian cicada which makes a remark-
ably loud noise. 1t is called by tho
natives "dundub," which means drum.
From this name comes that of the
genus, which is known as dundubia.

This is one of the few scientific terms

This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanskrit.
The 'deathwatch" popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make ticking sound by stand
ing on, their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is a sexual call. Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
specting the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be a warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries of many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota-
ton. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew
eral octaves above the staff. 1t mere
ly serves to express the musical inter
walls. 1t is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
so highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries of insects which are not
audible to others.

Some SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
nY CYRUS EDISON, NJ. d.,

Health Commissioner. New York City.
II is necessary, II one would under.
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men, u
knowledge which Is the result of In.
Vulnerable experiments, Being this,
the old term of n theory" has become
a misnomer. A germ of disease is n
plant, SO small that | do not know
how to express intelligibly to the gen.
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ Is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, its ac-
ton appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them, at the same time producing new
substances.
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being,
provided always you give them the
proper conditions. These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-
ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the flour on which the germs,
after certain changes, feed.
1t is necessary TO remember at this
point that yeast is germ growth, and

ing each of which II may gather the
dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands. As no bread save that
raised with yeast, goes through this
long process of raising aud kneading
so no bread save that raised with yeast
has so good chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" breadi Is
worth few words. The introduction
OF the yeast into the moist dough and
the addition Of heat when the pan Is
placed near the fire produces an eDor-
nous growth of the yeast fungi-the
yeast germ" in other words. These
fungi effect destructive fermentation
of u portion of the starchy matter of
the hour-one of the most valuable
nutrient elements in the flour The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the -four,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.
It needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects ON tho dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
before n closc-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked in
this condition Is what we ordinarily
call light This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach TO rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides, Tho fermentation Of
the dough, however, uses up portion
of the nutrient elements Of the loaf.
II It be possible, therefore, to produce
light porous leaf without this de-
struction and without the "lineading"

The Object In Flowing.

The object in blowing is not merely
TO stir the soil or to turn it over. 1t is
to pulverize it so that the plant food
elements can be made soluble by the
action of sunshine and rain, frost and
heat, and also that the roots of the
young plants can easily penetrate it in
search of these elements This the
pillow cannot do when the soil Is wet
and only packed more closely together
by the pressure of the pillow against It,
The only hope for success then lies IN
the future pulverization Of the soil by
The action Of large amounts Of manure
plowed under and fermenting there,
pulverising it by chemical aetiou.

Some Excellent Advice from an Expert
enced Bcekeeper.
If I were at liberty to choose loca-
ton where / desired, and could find
such one, it would be in place
where the land sloped gently to the
southeast, with pasturage as follows,
says Mr.. Doolittle in American Bee
Journal: Some willow to stimulate
early brood rearing, with sugar naples
to follow; then apple blossoms, as an
insurance of plenty of honey from APP
pie to white clover, which should be
abundant. Next, should want plenty
of Eastwood, and that on hillside or
mountain, so as to prolong its bloom,
and lastly where buckwheat was
raised. OF course, if asters and golden
rod could be plenty in the fall, it would
be still better. But most of us have
other ties beside the bees to fix our
location, and so we have to put up
with such a one as we have, and the
man is to be honored that can be con.
tented and bring about good results
with only limited bee pasturage at his
own home where duty calls him to
remain. If could have but one of the
above named sources of honey would
select Eastwood first, clover second,
and lastly buckwheat. From all
sources of information | can gather,
Eastwood is the greatest honey pro-
Queer in the United States, for the
length of time it is in bloom. The lay
of the lard is not of so much impor-
lance as the forage, for tight fences or
belts of evergreen can be placed around
the beeyard to protect it from high
winds. | would have the hives face
the south or east, if possible, us the
bees start earlier in the morning than
When they face the north and west;
also our prevailing winds are from the
direction last mentioned.

b Few Words About Ice and Cold storage
ON the Farm.
The handling OF fresh meat is direct
ly dependent upon artificial refrigera-
ton and in no other direction are It's
benefits more marked or widespread.
The cattle of the western plains have
become the daily food of those living at
the antipodes. In ten years, from lsso
to 1891, the imports of fresh beef and
mutton into Great Britain increased
from 400 to nearly 3,S00,000 carcasses'
During the same period the beef eX-
ports alone from the United States adj
vanced from 800 to 10l 800 tons.
Not only are meats carried in refrig-
orator vessels from America and the
antipodes to England, but within
year Australian milk has been shipped
in frozen blocks in such quantities ms
to be retailed in the streets of London
for four cents per quart. Butter,
cheese, eggs fruits and other perish
able products are likewise transported
enormous distances by rail or water,
without injury to the quality and at
low cost for freight.
