HOW CHEAP BAKIHG 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 were 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.
It 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
nse and are healthful beyond question.

CROP OF GHARNovKA WHEAT.

Grafton, and black ends may show
themselves. Two or three good rains
are sufficient to mature crop. 9th
erwise, the drier and hotter the bet
ter, while humid atmosphere can
not be tolerated.
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 a
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
a 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 we'll 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-
:ellent 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 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 a, 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
Texas
