SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD

Enusidrr.


which Housekeepers should Earnestly
Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health
Iof the people Of this country in the nu-
lmerous alum baking powders that are
now being urged upon the public.
There is no question as to tho detri-
mental effect OF these powders upon the
system. Every Board Of Health, every
physician, will tell you Of tho unwhole-
some qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have absolutely pro-
hibited the sale Of bread containing
alum.
Even small doses Of alum, given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of heartburn, indig% estlon,
gripping, constipation, dyspepsia, and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
caused by the continuous use Of food
prepared with the alum or alum-phos.
phate powders, are familiar in the prao-
tice Of every physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article Of food that
will injure the health Of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill.
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum powders
be distinguished And how shall the
danger to health from their use be
.avoided2
Generally, alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are sold,
or from the fact that they are accom-
panied by a gift, are disposed Of under
some scheme. The alum powder costs
but a few cents a pound to make, and is
often sold at 20 or % cents a pound.
II some present is given with it, the
price may be 30, 40 or 80 cents a pound.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at a low price, or adver-
tized as costing only half as much as
cream OF tartar powders, accompanied by
a present, or disposed of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental to
health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain protec-
ton of our bread, biscuit and cake from
all danger Of unwholesomeness is in the
use of the Royal Baking Powder only.
This powder is mentioned because Of the
innumerable reports in its favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. s. Gov.
ernment, and by the official chemists aud
Boards OF Health, which leave no doubt
as to its entire freedom from alum, lime
and ammonia, its absolute purity and
wholesomeness. While its use is thus a
safeguard against the poisonous alum
powders it is satisfactory at the same
time to know that it makes the whitest,
lightest, sweetest and most delicious
food, which will keep moist and fresh
longer, and that can be eaten with i'm
munity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and
also that owing to its greater strength it
is more economical than others.
These facts should incline SUI to
turn a deaf ear to all opportunities to
buy the inferior powder. II a grocer
urges the sale of the cheap, impure, alum
brands, it should be borne in mind that it
is because he eau make more profit on
them. The wise h~ousekeeper will decline
in all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using a doubt

The health or hfe of dear ones is at stake.

RAISING DUCKS FOR MARKET.

When pound OF duck can be produced
for six cents and sold for thirty-ive cents
or more early in the season, there is
money in the business, especially as the
eggs not needed for Matching usually sell
well at the same price as hens eggs.
The duck usually lays about $50 eggs in
a year. Those who desire to raise duck
lings for market prefer the Pekin, as
they can be made to grow more rapidly

percentage Of ducks eggs than Of hens

there is but little mortality among them
if they have proper care. Among the
requirements are soft food, and a plenty
of water to drink and rinse their bills in,

Largest Fruit Farm in the World

Howell County, Missouri, will soon
have the largest iruIt farm in the world,
il it has not already that honor. Acorn
pany has been organized by South Bend,
Evansville and Springfield capitalists for
the purpose Of converting 10000 acres
near Brandsville into al immense fruit
farm, work to commence within thirty
days. There is plenty of money backing
the scheme. The company proposes to
build a cold storage plant, evaporator

TREATMENT OF TOMATO PLANTS.

The succuleut vegetable, the tomato
once despised--is now the subject OF
great attention. The following is good
advice in the treatment Of the plSnt: Set
out plants when six inches high and hill
up we'll until the height of a foot is
reached. Train the branches apart.
Throw around the plant wood ashes
which will at once act as a fertilizer and
a poison to bugs aud disease. The roots
will be thrown out by the killing process
and growth forced. The hill acts as a
good bed for the fruit to rest on and
prevents rot.-American Agriculturist.

The Bed or Old Atlantic.

The topography Of the Atlantic Ocean
bed is now almost as well known as If il
were dry land. The charts represent II
M a huge trough Of varying depths, ex-
tending from pole to pole. Here and
there are rocky peaks, like that Of Tener.
life, or huge mountains Of sand, like the
Banks OF Newfoundland, which reach up
TO or above the surface. Between Ire.
land and Newfoundland there Is q ro.
markable submarine plain. This great
level stretch Of ocean bottom is always
referred to rs the telegraph or cable
plateau, because Of the fact Of the main
submarine cables being stretched across
it. This plateau is believed to be a CON
~tinuation Of the great water shed which,
between the ATTITUDES of forty and fifty
degrees north, surrounds the Garth, and
divides the waters which flow south from
those which flow toward the north

HOW TO MAKE A HOT BED.


Where the farmer or gardener is too
far removed from business centers to buy
plants cheaply of the seedsnen, a hot
bed will be found convenient for starting
many kinds of plants. The first step &c
be taken is getting ready the manure
with which to supply the required bot
tom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed
thoroughly with one-third to one-half its
bulk OF leaves, or straw used for bed
ding, or other manure that has been
heated once, are the materials preferred.
As oon as this compost begins to fer.
ment turn it again and let remain until
signs appear of a second fermentation.
Make an excavation about two and
one-half feet deep and of a size to suit
the sash on hand or number of plants re-
quired. Locate this pit in a dry spot,
facing south OF east. One sash will gem
orally give early plants enough for a
large family. The frame for the sash or
sashes may be made OF boards nailed to
small posts at the corners. This frame
ought to be about eighteen inches high
at the back and twelve inches in front,
to give the proper slope to catch the
sunlight. To facilitate the opening and
shutting Of the frame, cross-pieces should
be planed for the sash TO slide on.
When all is ready tread the manure
down firmly in the pit, to the depth of
two and a half feet; put on the sash and
keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
In two or three days spread on top soil
to a depth of six or eight inches. In
this seed may be sown in drills, two or
three inches apart, for early tomatoes,
eggplant, cabbage, cauliaower, lettuce,
pepper, etc.-New York World.

with a success that delighted him, and at

Devlall Of Year.

Strictly speaking, dew does not "fall,'
Il is always formed upon the substance
upon which 1t is found, and cannot, in
any sense Of the word, be said to "fall''
from the atmosphere as rain aud snow
do.
Dew is a great respecter Of colors.
To prove this take pieces Of glass or
boards and paint them red, yellow,
green and black. Expose them at night
and you will find that the yellow will be
covered with moisture; that the green
will be damp, but that the red aud the
black will be left perfectly dryl On an
area Of land equal to the size Of the
State of Missouri the amount Of ''dew-
fall' per annum would be 1876, 219,-

TEMPERANCE.


MY POSITION.

Cold water only drinking:
And now I'm going to tell you what
l have OF late been thinking.
I'm totally opposed 10 beer,

Aud shuu the danger lurking in
All kinds of wine-flied candy.
I am opposed 10 all saloons;
look with detestation
On every one. no matter where
They curse the entire Nation.
II alcohol will make me strong,
I'd like at once to KIN ow 10:
Both time and platform I'll divide
With any who can show IL.

Abstain from gin and whisky;
To drink at all OF such vile stun
Is dangerous and risky.
Think IL we are only firm
In this our one e%ndeavor,
Wen live to see the drunkard's drink
Cast out, and that forever.
The harvest soon we hope TO reap,
And in its full fruition,
Well raise in thanks our voices high
For total prohibition.

FEW KEEP GUINEA FOWLS.

The Guinea fowl is one of the most
beautiful specimens of accurate feather
marking known among ~gallinaceous
fowls. There are two species, the black
and white spotted and the pure white

OF their noisy manner, which at times
grows tiresome; yet chicken thieves hold
them as great enemies, as they give an
alarm even at midnight, if strangers come
among them.-New York Independent.
