COOKING WHEAT FOR HORSES.

Whether it will pay to cook food
for farm stock depends very much
upon the kind of food and the cost of
cooking. If Whole wheut be fed drv

not be crushed, or at least not finely

The wheat, especially if in order TO
grind The wheat it is necessary TO haul
1t some distance to the mill, pay n
henvy toll FOR grinding, and then haul
1t home again over rough or muddy
winter roads.
Cooking adds much value even to
ground grain, because the heat bursts
the tough capsule which incloses the
starch grains SO that their substance
is readily soluble and dinestible.
Soaking tho wheat answers n GOOD

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

That baking powder which is both purest and

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
OF the baking powder which will give her the best

Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift

as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui

Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
