Notices. (SHARLAND'S) /pyrri rFNTi HOW do you prouounco S-k-a-k----l-a-k-d's B-a-k-i-n-g P-o-w-D-ii-K ? " queried one Louscwifo wf anoiher. ' Sharland's Baking Powder,' promptly roplicd the other. ' How elso could you pronounco it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," wastho witty rejoiuder. Speaking of baking powder.*, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders oi <;ouimeroo are employed to produce an artificial evolution' of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action ef tho yeast. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbnnic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabonate since in this way salt, which is in any caso necessary, is also formed. Another widely-usea material in ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making tho dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudeniann has, however, found tkat the ammonia is by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled at Washington in August, 1891, and althoHgh tho presence of ammonia is not a 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 that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over,' but at (he same time it is quite as well that we t-hould carefully avoid any articles used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in baking powdnr, users i-hould be careful to select H good brand and keep to it. for it is on record that in the United States particularly uluin and other chemicals not at all suited to improve tho delicate organs of digestion are freely used. Whose aro good baking powders ? In settling this question, we must not be too much guided by puffy testimonials couched in very glowing terms, 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, inoro bo than in the States is the baking powder advertising war raging fiercer. For instance, and to show tho extent to which this rivalry exisU, we note a reference to the subject in a recent cumber of the Oil, Paint, and Drug Reporter. The Reporter merrily notes that in one paper the purest tnkinjj powder in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all auimoniitcitl poisons is dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, tho verdict is reversed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, but lest for yourselves. ' Indigestion doth make brutes ot us all,'and many a deed, Hi'rerwarrls bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to Bay injurious, materials. ' How ao you pronounce S-h-a-k-L-A-JirD'S B-A-K-I-N a ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, aud most satisfactory to use.'

Caunell aud Co.'s Lime is the purest lime on record, analysing as high as 9502 po cent, in the uuburnt 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 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 fanners in America consider they have raised the value of their butter and sheep lands £S per acre through using lime. Sntton and Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state Devonshire fanners alone lost £100,000 through not dressing their turnip lands with lime ; they consider lime.is as essential derr.eut in "farming and stock raising. W. Brydone, Esq., of the Ed en dale Estate, Dunediu, states lie uses 400 to 600 tons of lime per annum on light medium soils for oats and turnips, ».t an annual cost of 42s Gd 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, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mullins, Odium, and others who have used and proved our I lime' to be valnabU: in turnip, oats, grass, potatoes, wheat, orchard, and other lauds. Lime should be carted on to the laud in autumn for lands to be used for spring crops, WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, Agent, Hamilton.
