Lr - ' Sharland's BaVing Powder,' promptly lie replied the other. ' How else could you he prononnco it r" to ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," id was the witty rejoinder. ,t Speaking of baking powders, a scientibe fic exchange explains that 'the various id baking powders of commerce are employed tie to produce an artificial evolution of p, carbon dioxide, to support that produced ig ill the dough by the action of the yeast, ii- The composition of baking powders varies o- considerably. It appears to be most conig vement to produce the carbonic aoid by 'be action of hydroofcloric acid on sodium of bicabonate since in this way salt, which id is in any case necessary, is also formed. ,y Another widely-usea material is ammosr nium carbonate. It has been hitherto a assumed that this substance after aiding >0 in making the dough rise was volatilised e, by the heat of the oven. Dr. Endemann i g has, however, found tkat the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains p. more or less completely united with the i) gluten. This result was communicated g, to t-ie Association of Chemists assembled 1. at Washington in August, 1891, and d although the presence of ammonia is not a t, source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonate in It is a true saying thatwhat the eye .. does not see the heart • does not grieve t over, but at ihe same time it is quite as l 3 well that we fhould carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in baking powder, users should be careful to select _ a good brand and keep to it, for it is on record that in the United States purticu- • larly alum and other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate organs of digestion are freely used. Whose are good baking powders ? In settling this question, we must ■ not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in t very glowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-davs, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value—rely too much on newspaper ' advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more bo than in the States is the bakings powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exists, we note a reference to the subject in a recent number -of the Oil, Paint, and Drug Reporter, The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest baking powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniacal poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided zuanner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led i away by flashy advertisements, but test for yours elm, ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-h-a-r----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n g P-o-w-d-e-r ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, aud most satisfactory to use.'

Cannell and Co.'s Lime is the purest lime on record, analysing as high as 98'92 pe cent, in the unburnt stone. For ] builders', plasterers', and agriculturists' use it is not to be surpassed. Limestone j countries for grass require no stimulating manures, lime being the only legitimate solvent for the acids and silicas which i militate against plant food. Lime, though slow, is the only sure element / requisite to make Waikato soils equal in fertility and grazing capabilities the \ limestone hills of the southern portions of this island. Oregon farmers in n America consider they have raised the value of their butter and sheep lands £8 per acre through using lime. Sutton and j Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state Devonshire fanners alone lost £100,000 j through not dressing their turnip lands with lime; they consider lime as as essential element in farming and stock raising. W. Brydone, Esq., of the Edendale Estate, r Dunedin, states he uses 400 to 600 tons of lime per annum on light medium soils for oats and turnips, at an annual cost of 42s 6d per acre, and considers it pays him back -j eut of first crop, but that the good effects are lasting in the soil. p We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coatee, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mullina, Odium, g ( and others who have used and proved our lime to be valuab'e in turnip, oats, grasp, potatoes, wheat, orchard, aud other lands. Lime should be carted on to the land in autumu for lands to be used for spring crops. _ WILLIAM A.
