HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

The Health Department of New
York has seized a quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples We're taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be IAN alum POWDER"
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dam
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offal
dock and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called "cheap" articles of food.
They are sure to be made from alum,
rock, or other injurious matter. In
baking powders, the high class, cream
of tartar brands are the most eco
nomical, because they go farther in
use and are healthful beyond question.

Vermont, No., April 2Sth.-If what
Mr.. j. S. Tillery, of this place, says is
true--and none who know him doubt
his honesty-the new remedy, Dodd's
Kidney Pills, is wonderful medicine
indeed. Mr.. Tillery says:
Il had Kidney and Liver Trouble for
years. L had used many medicines but
could get nothing to cure me.
"a heard of a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and began treat
ment with the result that l was very
soon on the mend.
81 kept on using the pills and am now
entirely better. L honestly do believe
that they are the greatest remedy the
world has ever seen.
Il am always willing to help good
thing and l cannot say too much for
one that helped me so much.
"If | didn't know that Dodd's Kidney
Pills would do all that is claimed for
them [ wouldn't say word of praise
for them.''

MACARONI WHEATS.
ThcyAre Admirably Adapted to Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
Eastern Colorado.

All macaroni wheats are extreme
ly sensitive to changes of soil and
climate. This will account for GER
tain peculiarities in the quality of
the grain that have already been
noticed by growers occasionally in
this country. Grains partially soft
and white are from crops grown
either under damper, cooler copdi-
tions or in places where there is
comparatively little nitrogen in the
soil. The requisite conditions for a
perfect grain are a black prairie
soil and short, hot, dry summers. On
the whole, changes of climate appear
to have greater effect than
changes of soil, but, if the soil be-
comes almost bereft of humls, the
grain shows the effect plainly by
becoming more opaque and white,
because of the preponderance of
starch. If, in this case, the climate
is at the same time arid, the grain
remains rathor hard, but simply be-
cause of it's dryness. If the soil is
black and rich and the climate too
moist, there is considerable discol-

PROFITABLE ROOT CROP.
Valuable Suggestions Concerning
the Planting and Scientific Cul-
tivatien of MangeIwurzels.

Select fertile clay loan soil. 1t
would have been better if it had been
plowed late last fall and replowed
this spring. If the land is not fertile,
make it so by the application OF ten
to 20 loads of fine manure per acre,
or 200 pounds of mixture containing
so pounds of acid phosphate, 5opounds
of dried blood and so pounds OF murl-
ate of potash. Any of the hand seed
sewers will distribute the seed evenly.
Make light sled marker of pieces OF
boards or planks, which may be drawn
by hand if the plat is small, or by
horse if it is large, for hand seeder
or drill cannot be run straight enough
without a mark previously made.
Then, too, if at least three marks can
be made at once, two-thirds OF the
spaces will be of exactly the same
width. Make the rows from "a to ~
inches apart. If you have suitable I'M
plements for cultivating narrow IN
tervals, and have small, well-tralned
horse, rows as narrow as IS inches can
be titled; but land being the lesser fac

had better be far enough apart so that
frequent and thorough horseshoe TIL
lage can be given, thereby saving much
hand labor. Plant the seed about ten
to 20 times as thickly as you will
want plants. There seems to be
no way of getting good stand with
out planting large quantities OF seed.
With a hoe chop the rows out, and
leave one or more plants, or a bunch
of them, every six to eight inches.
When the plants have Strengthened up,
run q hand cultivator close to the
rows. AS soon after this treatment
as they have Strengthened, and when
there are four to six leaves to plant,
thin the bunch by hand to one plant in
a place. Soon after, run the hand Gull
tivator through again, and the most
difficult part of the work will have
been accomplished. After this the
horse and fine toothed cultivator may
be used, and it will be necessary only
occasionally to go through and remove
the struggling weeds in the row which
have escaped. A good yield of mangels
is so tons per acre, and superior yield
40 tons, possible yield As tons.-Coun-

To Reclaim worn-out Land.

If you think that land lacks humus,
apply stable manure or turn under a
green crop. The best general green
crop is red clover, but it does not catch
well on very sandy and very hard soils.
Then begin with any crop which will
buckwheat, corn, anything
to- get a start. If the land produces
weeds when left to itself, it is good
enough to produce something else.
Turn the weeds under, sow something,
turn it under, sow again. In two or
three years the results will be seen, re-

erwise, the drier and hotter the bet

From so to IS so-called varieties
of durum, or macaroni, wheats have
been described by different writer's.
There are probably hundred or
more varieties already known to be
in use under distinct names. Though
the larger number of varieties are in
practical use of minor Importance,
there are few having well-marked
characteristics and which have at
tanned high reputation.
The variety which is the basis of
very large part of the macaroni
wheat export from the Azov sea
region is the Gharnovka. The wheat
itself has a medium long, square,
dense, yellowish white head, while
the boards are dark and very long
The grain is quite large, light yell
low in color and rather translucent
and vitreous. There are several diff
ferent strains even of the Char
novka. recognized in the Don ter
ritory. Probably the best of these
is the Yellow Gharnovka, which has
grain of a deeper yellow than the
others. Both the Gharnovka and
Yellow Gharnovka have recently been
obtained and distributed by the de-
partment of agriculture, according
to Cerealist NJ. A. Carleton, from
whose report on macaroni wheats
these facts are learned This
wheat is admirably adapted to such
districts as Kansas, Nebraska, Okla
homa and eastern Colorado. 1t will
probably prove to be one of the best
wheats for the middle and southern
great plains, as well as for New
Mexico and Arizona. Gharnovka is
being grown this season by the New
Mexico agricultural experiment sta
ton, and so far gives promise of ex-
cellent results.
Arnoutka wheat is apparently not
grown to so great an extent as Char
novka, but it is nevertheless one of
the best varieties of south Russia.
So far as the writer mentioned can
determine, what is properly called
Arnoutka is a wheat having heads
of light red color, with blush
bloom and very long reddish boards.
The grains are very large and long,
and when grown under favorable
conditions are clear yellow, ex-
tremely hard and vitreous. This and
Gharnovka are the two varieties
which have given Russia its reputa-
ton for macaroni wheats, although
one or two Russian sorts are prob
ably even better than these for mar
keting that product.
Mr.. Carleton has so far seen moth
ing but the grain of the variety now
grown considerably by the farmers
of North and South Dakota under
the name of Arnoutka, and cannot
say whether it is the same as that
described above or not. This variety
is well adapted for cultivation in
Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and

The poorest land is too valuable tc

Speak quietly to men and animals.
Do not permit any loud or boisterous
talking on your premises. Loud talk
makes animals nervous and sensitive

Do not tutn the stock out until the

to have good pasture is to give the
grass chance to start well in the
spring, before it is pastured.
