Steriiizing MIX by Electricity,

A method of sterilizing milk by the
aid "f an electric current has been de.
vised by twJ Dutch inventors. Many
pro osals have been brought forward
recently for sterilizing water in this
way, but milk has proved much
more difficult fluid, because of the
large amount of pabulum for micro.
organisms which it contains. The milk
to be sterilized is submitted to the
action of strong alternating current,
which is applied to it in the ordinary y
dairy utensils. New York World.

To MAKE A PERMANENT PASTURE.

1t is very doubtful if it will pay any
farmer to spend the needed money to
make permanent pasture, such as we
read of being kept up in European
countries, unless the land is to be irri-
gated, when the work may be done
with ease, Otherwise one of our hot,
dry spells in summer may SO injure
the grass as to ruin the meadow. The
work, however, is done as follows
The land is first summer fallowed, to
get rid Of weeds; then richly manured
and fertilized; then reduced to the
finest tilth by repeated plowings and
harrowings; then sown with such a
variety of grasses as will renew them.
selves as far as possible without seed
ing, these kinds being those with
spreading roots mostly. The bulk of
the grass is Kentucky blue, meadow
fescue, red fescue, fowl meadow, red
top, oat aud rye grasses, of each about
twenty pounds. This seeding makes
thick growth, and the well-prepared
soil soon has thick sod on it, Then
this is preserved by frequent fertiliz.
ing, moderate grazing, and fresh seed
occasionally. New York Times.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the Purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most dgestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

CULTIVATION As A FERTILIZER FOR WHEAT


Experiments in wheat culture
through FIVE years, at the New York
Cornell University Station by I. p.
Roberts, indicate that on strong or
clayey lands it is often more economi.
cal to secure available plant food by
extra culture than by the purchase OF
fertility. In many strong wheat soils
there is more plant food than the
variety of wheat grown can utilize,
though enough may not be available
to produce a maximum crop. In
changeable climates the wheat plant
is 80 handicapped at times for want
of suitable climate conditions, thst it
is unable to appropriate much of the
available plant food in the soil, and
hence is not often benefited by ad-
ditional nourishment. The wheat
crops in the experiments proved un-
able to elaborate more food than the
amount furnished by the soil under
the superior culture given some of the
plats. The fitting of the land for most
crops is done so badly that under cer-
tain conditions even moderate
amount OF manure or fertilizers may
not only fail to increase the Weld, but
may be positively harmful to the
wheat crop to which they are applied.

The Importance that attaches to
Immediate Congressional legisla-
tion on behalf Of Nicaragua canal
cannot well be overrated. The
resolutions passed by the Trans
Mississippi Congress, now in ses-
sion in st. Louis, are to the point,
covering as they do the essentials
of aid by the United States govern
ment and control of that which
they have aided. The views Of the
American people on this subject
have again and again been evoked
in such way as to leave no uncer-
tainty on the mind of Congress as
to what the general trend of that
opinion is, and there is no real Eek
cuse for refusing to take such ac-
tion as will close out the unCer-
tainty and relieve the national
fear of all it's ground of distrust,
in so far at least as the control Of
that work by some foreign govern
ment is concerned. The prompt
construction of that work and it's
control by the National govern
ment, is what the st. Louis gather
Ing calls for. and in this demand
they are seconded by the money
and the business and the brains of
these United States. The Congress
so soon to assem- BILE at Washington
can at least rescue itself from an
ignoble oblivion by putting the
construction of this canal by
government aid upon its feet, be.
fore the three months Of grace al
lotted to them expire.
