Another Fraud Exposed.

This time it is seed fraud The
Station last month reported the serious
adulteration of bran with cookie, cheat
and other weed seed, and the inevitable
result of feeding the bran. by which
clean field would rapidly become
seeded with these obnoxious weeds,
wherever the manure was put on the
land.
A correspondent from Robson coun-
ty sends seed package which reads
as follows:
LATE CABBAGE.
Recommended by u. S. Agricultural De-
partment as the best cabbage for the Southern
States Grown and warranted by the Junalu5ka
Seed Co., Junaluslza, N. C. Price, ten cents.
Our correspondent writes. ''Some-
time in the early part of this spring, an
unknown man passed through this part
of the state selling garden seed, and
sold quantities of them throughout the
county. but they have proven to be
spurious and of no value to those who
purchased them. Enclosed you will
find one of the papers, also one of the

Distributions of Soy tsoja) Became.

The n. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station at Raleigh, desiring to extend
the cultivation of Soy Beans has pro
posed to distribute quantity Of seed
to careful planters desiring to test
their merits. The only condition is
that each applicant send 10 cents in
postage stamps to pay cost of trans
portation by mail. Enough seed will
be sent to each applicant to plant Lilo
acre. The first 400 applications will
lie filed in the order received.
The Station regards this as a very
valuable forage plant It is of upright
growth to 3 feet high and is a legu-
mine capable of adding nitrogen from
the air to the soil III which it grows. 1t
is planted in hills or drills l-2 10 1-2
feet apart according to richness of soil,
and Is to ~ inches apart in the row.
1t can be planted any time from March
to July, either alone or in the corn row
between the corn, and = to 4 beans are
usually planted in each hill. Soil suit
able to it and the general preparation
is the same as for corn. When planted
Tor corn both crops can be ensilaged
together. and the corn ensiiage will be
much improved by the combination or
the plants when planted alone can be
cut for forage before they get toe
woody. The seed are found in small
pods and can be saved by cutting the
whole plant when leaves and pods
have turned golden hue. They can
easily be beaten out when dry. If cut
ting is delayed beyond this time the
pods VIII open and some viii be lost
on the ground. 1t Will not pay to pick
the beans. 1t is also a good table bean,
but requires a long time to cook. The
beans parchcd similar to coffee, has
been used as an accepta Die 81 bstitute,
for il, and at far less cost. 1t has not
the exact arc, of coffee, but is re-
commended as cheap substitute
probably just as good and in some ca
SEES better thln the low grades of coffee
after being adulteratcd with peas OF
beans with a value less than the soy
bean. The Station urges a careful trial
OF this crop.

Wash Ont Yoilr Mouth.

The New York Herald calls editorial
attention to the Importance of an anti.
septic treatment of the mouth as a
preventive of disease. Inquisitive
physicians have found secreted in the
folds of the mucus membrane of the
mouth the microbes of pneumonia,
measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria,
and say that more pathogenic germs
can be found there than in any other
part of the body, and to prevent their
entering the system germ destroying
.dentifrice should be constantly en-
ployed, especially after eating. ii.
Unna, of Hamburg, recommends finely
powdered chloratc of potash us moro

tooth-powders and mouth-wnshes sold

medical correspondent thinks that
chlorate OF soda is much better. as il
has all tho thcrapeutical properties of

Hottest Spot in Anlarlcn.

cit is not generally known that the
hottest, most arid desert in the world
is i'll the United States, but such il tho
fact, said II. g. McKeighan, of San
Diego, to the corridor man ut the Lin
dell. "The Cocapah Desert is small,
but it is the most dangerous of any in
the known world. Standing upon the
mountain range to tho east, looking
across the sixty miles of plain to mn.
other mountain range on the west,
with glimpses of two small lakes mid
way between them, it does not appear
that it requires any extraordinary feat
of danger or endurance to cross tho
plain. And this Inns caused the loss of
many lives.
''The sand of that desert il so hot
that in few miles the shoes will DO
literally burned off the travellers feet,
beasts will DO overcome before half
the distance is encompassed, and tho
adventurous traveller dies in agony,
literally consumed with heat from
without and thirst within. Many have
been known to attempt the journey,
and but few have been known to re-
turn. These had gone no further than
the first lake, and finding it salt water
had beaten retreat. Tho nearest
lake has been reached often enough to
know that it Gibbs and flows with the
Gulf of California, and the water is
the same, hence it must be II part of
that body, although separated from it
by sixty or seventy mile of solid earth
and high range of mountains.
'This range was probably ut ono
time an island, and the Cocapnh
Desert the bottom of the sea. I once
started across the barren waste to in
vestigate, but had not gone ten miles
before becoming completely exhausted,

Royal Backwhcats.

For generations it has been the Gus
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with ycast or emptyings, retain
ing portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
If kept too warm, or not used
promptly, this batter becomes excess
sively sour and Objectionable. Buck
wheat cakes raised by this means are
more often sour or heavy than light
and sweet. If eaten daily they dis
tress the stomach and cause skin erup-
tions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Pow
der, mixing the batter fresh daily, and
find the result wonderfully satisfac-
tory. They are uniformly light and
sweet, more palntable and wholesome,
and can be eaten continuously without
the slightest digestive Inconvenience.
Besides they are mixed and baked in n
moment, requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat -four
mot prepared" or mixed), one cup
of wheat flour, two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted well together. Mix
with milk into thin batter and bake
at once on hot griddle. Once prop
crly tested from this receipt, no other
buckwheat will find its wny to your
table. Domestic Cookery.
