' Sharland's BaVing Powder,' promptly replied the other. ' How else could you prononnco it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of baking powders, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders of commerce are employed i to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced i iu the dough by the action of tho yeaet. The composition of baking powdors varies considerably. It appears to be most con- . venient to produce the carbonic acid by '. the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium ' bicabonate since in thia way salt, which i is in any case necessary, is also formed. , Another widely-ueett material is ammo- . nium carbonate. It has been hitherto ( assumed that this subetance after aiding I in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudemann \ has, however, found tkat the ammonia is I by no means all removed, but remains . more or less completely united with the I gluten. This result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled \ at Washington in August, 1891, and [ although tho presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammouium carbonate in It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve L over,' but at Ihe same time it is quite as j 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 I record that in the United States particu-* i 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 flowing terras, nor—although it is necessary now-a-days, 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 baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. JFor instance, and to show the extent to which this rivalry exists, we note a reference to 1 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 ainmoniacal poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is rovereed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led j away by flashy advertisements, hut test for yourselves, ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been com- . mitted when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-n-A-it-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 I satisfactory to use.' ■_ TTcToIT iirvestments Caiinell and Co.'s Pure Carbonate of Lim6 Phoenix Insurance Company's Policy 300 Acres, SuLuros of Hamilton West, frontage to Ohaupo - Hamilton Road and Waikato River; partly improved and fenced.

Caunell and Co.'s Lime is the purest f lime on record, analysing as high as 95'92 pe cent, in the unburnt stone. For builders', plasterers', and agriculturists' use it is not to be surpassed. Limestone countries for grass require no stimulating manures, lime being the only legitimate solvent for the acids and silicas which E militate against plant food. Lime, though slow, is the only sure element requisite to make Waikato soils equal 1 in fertility and grazing capabilities the limestone hills of the southern portions 1 of this island. Oregon farmers in America consider they have raised the j value of their butter and sheep lands £S per acre through using lime. Sutton and 1 Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state 1 Devonshire fanners alone lost £100,000 through not dressing their turnip lands with lime ; they consider lime as as essential element in farming and stock raising. : W. Bry done, Esq., of the Edendale Estate, 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 . out of first crop, but that the good effects are lasting in the soil. We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coates, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, 1 Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mullins, Odium, ' and others who have used and proved our lime to be valuable in turuip, oats, grass, potatoes, wheat, orchard, and other lauds. Lime should be carted on to the land 5 in autumn for lands to be used for spring crops. WILLIAM A.
