The Moore Studio Will Positively
Discontinue $500 Rates
After Saturday.

Owing to the immense rush last
week Frank B. Moore, the famous
photographer, decided to continue
making photographs this week at the
same rate-$2 per dozen. The peo-
pie appreciated this liberality on his
part, and since that time hundreds
of sittiDgs have been made, and to
say that the people are delighted
with the work expresses it made
quately. The purpose of practically
giving these pictures away was to ad-
vertise his work and methods and since
this has been full accomplished, he
having had as customers the ma
jority of the population Of the city,
these prices will be discontinued
after Saturday All work done in
this city by him is finished at the
Moore Studio in New Orleans. Mr..
Moore is one of the finest photogra-
pliers in the south and his studio in
New Orleans is the best fitted one IN
that city, therefore customers get
the benefit of as fine work as could
possibly be obtained in New Orleans,
and at cheaper prices. He has many
things that are departures fIom the
ordinary Photographic work, and
it will be a pleasure to you to pay che
studio visit, whether you wisl
work or not.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Fiint and suiphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been so
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind Of baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say This is another scheme Of
some baking powder manufacturer to
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer large profit. House.
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health, Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum, The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand well known
to be made OF cream of tartar, which is
healthful product CT the grape.

The way TO avoid having mischiev-
Gus hogs is TO keep them from getting
so hungry Tat they are tempted to
break through fences and become con-
firmed roamers. 1t is the underfed hog
that is troublesome. A good many hog
raisers think that grass is enough for
a growing pig, and so it is if the pig
has enough Of it; but overstccked hog
pastures are very common thing.
While the grass looks to be plentiful,
there is not enough of the kind the
pigs will cat. A pig pasture must
contain plenty of sucoulent grass, 9TH
erwise it might as well have none. AT
this season the succulence is on the
wane, and daily feed of corn is the
thing. Whatever may be true of feed
ing cattle grain on grass, it is certain
that pigs will pay for it in growth,
and it keeps them out of mischief,
which can easily be expensive.

Teeth and Skull IL Pic.

According tSr'Mr, Schwartzkopf, of
the MINNESOTA station, the order of
E,,.eession of teeth in our precocious
pigs runs the same as in the primitive
hog. The times when the teeth appear
are variable, according to race, feed
ing and health. The same breeds,
raised under the same conditions, will
show the same appearance. The form
of the skull depends upon nutrition,
health, and more or less employment
of certain muscles of the head and
neck. Skulls of poorly nourished pigs
are long and more slender than from
those well nourishcd. Pigs that are
prevented from roofing will acquire a
short, high and rounded head, while
those that are forced TO root to Sc
cure portion Of their food Will de-
velop long and slender form of head.
