The Alum Baking Powders.
Names of Some OF the Principal Brands
sold I'm This Vicinity,

The recent discussion in the papers of the
effect upon the human system of food
made with alum baking powders and the
opinions that have been published from
noted scientists to the effect that such
powders render the food unwholesome,
have caused numerous inquiries for the
names-0f the various alum powders.
In Massachusetts, New Jersey and sew
eral other states, of such importance do
the food authorities deem the matter that
the names of alum powders are officially
made public, and in two states at least the
laws provide that there shall be printed
upon the labels of all packages of this
class of powders the statement that they
contain alum.
Information as to the list here given has
been obtained from the official reports of
the Massachusetts and New Jersey health
authorities, from the Agricultural Depart
ment chemist at Washington, and from
other equally reliable authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alumni.
DAVIS o. K, Co..o,. A,u
RIB. Davis & CO., New York.
Washington Baking Powder Co.
Alex. J. Howell, New York
GRAND UNION Contains Alum.
Grand Union Tea Co., New York.
In addition to these, it is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands. These
powders are put up for the grocer, and his
name put upon the labels by manufacturers
of alum powders. The manufacturers, it
is said, find their efforts to market their
goods in this way greatly aided by the am
bition of the grocer to sell a powder with
his own name upon the label, especially as
he can make an abnormal profit upon it.
Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that
the powders they are thus pushing contain
alum and would be actually contraband in
many sections if sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the names
of all the alum baking powders in the mar
ket. They are constantly appearing in all
sorts of DISCUSSES, under all kinds of cog
nomens, and at all kinds of prices, even as
low as five and ten cents pound. They
can be avoided, however, by the house
keeper who will bear in mind that all bak-
ing powders sold at 25 cents or less per
pound are liable to contain alum, as pure
cream of tartar powders cannot be pro-
duced at anything like this price.

About $13, 10000 of gold has gone out
of the country since the movement began.
Perhaps $50, 600, 900 or $4,000, 900 in all
will go out before the flow stops. Usually
there is an outgo for a few months every
year. In 1893 we escaped any such move
ment, but that was an exceptional case.
A gold outflow is looked for each year as a
matter of course. The fact that it is not
attracting any particular attention now is
shown by the circumstance that the gold
reserve in the treasury is growing con-
stantly. 1t is at preseut about $40, 100000
above the mark at which it stood just pre-
vious to the time when the gold expOrta-
tion started month ago. This. of course,
is because the banks are furnishing all the
gold which is going out now. The produc-
tion of gold by the mines of the United
States in 1898 was $64, 900, 900, or much
more than the expectation is likely to be
this year. The production Of 1899 stands
a chance to be $40, 900, 900 or over.

The famous Dismal Swamp, which lies
half in North Carolina and half in Vir-
ginia, is said to have been sold to a big
lumber company. A canal has been ding
through the swamp at enormous cost, one
end being near Norfolk and the other end
on the North Carolina coast. In the mud
underlying the waters of the great swamp
are thousands of cedar trees which have
been submerged and preserved from decay.
The lumbermen wish 10 secure this tim
ber, and they propose to drain the swamp
Draining would leave the canal high and
dry Is feet above tide water.

The wide Tire Law.

From the Enosburgh Falls Standard
The Barre Times says that $50 far as
heard from Barre is the only town in Yer
mont where any effort is being made to
enforce the wide tire law, although every
thinking person must realize the advan-
tage of the enforcement of It," The News
and Citizen says that johnson is attending
to the matter. Other towns may well fol-
low suit. The people should see to it that
what laws we have, looking to a better
ment Of highways, be enforced.

The increase of about S162, 900, 900 is due
almost wholly to the war against Spain.
The disbursements for the war department
alone were S137, 100000 in excess of those
for the same department the preceding
year. The bulk of the increase in the civil
and miscellaneous item is mainly due to
the payment of $4,000, 600 to Spain as in
demnity for the Philippines. The reduc-
tion of $4,000, 900 on account of pensions
is worthy of especial notice. Whether that
reduction will be overcome by deficiencies
that may be reported to Congress next
winter is a matter for conjecture

 Mattresses are replaced for summer use by a new ventilated bed bottom, which is formed of spring frames set at the proper distance apart to rest on the side rails, with braces to hold them rigid, a suitable fabric being stretched over the frames.
 For soldiers, use in excavattng the earth to form Qualifications a new in trenching tool is formed of a metallic blade designed to be attached to the cap as yizor when on the march, with short handle on the blade by which to scoop out the earth.

Ringing Grapes.

From Farmers Review:-This proc ess is the removal of a small section of the bark surrounding the cane for the purpose of obstrueting the down ward flow of sap, which is thereby caused to accumulate in excessive quantities in the portions of the cane above the ring, and to supply these portions richly with food materials. Experiments were tried last summer to test the results of ringing on sev- eral varieties. The rings of bark were removed in the period between June q and July 5, when the grapes were from one-third to one-half grown. The width of the ring removed in most eases was one-half inch, but on some canes only one-fourth inch. The fol- lowing notes taken at the time of rip ening indicate the results on each variety:
 Concord showed the first on the ringed canes to be slightly larger and a day or two in advance of the fruit of the rest of the vine.
 Cambridge showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be larger, of better quality and two or three days earlier than that on other canes.
 Brighton showed no difference tn quality or size, but three days differ ence in earliness.
 Columbian Imperial showed very great difference in size, the berries averaged one-ffth larger on the ringed than on the unringed canes, while the ringed canes ripened fruit two weeks earlier than other canes of the same vines.
 Agawain showed only slight differ ence in size and earliness.
 Herbert showed no difference except that the fruit on the ringed canes was poorer in quality than the rest.
 Moore's Early showed no pereeptible difference in size, quality or earliness
 Niagara showed the fruit on the ringed canes to be two days earlier and slightly superior in quality to that on the unringed canes.
 The Delaware showed better and earlier fruit on the ringed than on the unringed canes, but showed the best fruit where only small section of the bark had been removed
 The best results were obtained on canes where the bark overgrew the sections from which it had been re- moved Where the bark oyergrow8 the section about the time the first begins to ripen the surplus food ma terial in the cane is drawn away into the lower parts of the vine and tho fruit ripens with only normal quan- tity of food material present. If the section is not oyergrown, the excess of food remains, the fruit is forced to ripen with this excess on hand. and hence ripens improperly. The width of the section of bark to be removed should vary according to the yigor Of the cane and the variety On strong canes of vigorous varieties three fourths of an inch is not too much while on feeble varieties one-fourth of an inch may be sufficient.
