" queried onu housewife of ano: her, • Shurland's Baking Powder,' promptly replied the other. 'How else could you pronounce it ?' ' I pronounce it ' most excellent," Was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of baking powder*, a scientific exchange explains that ' the vaiiotis baking powders of commerce are employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action of the yeast. 'I lie composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabouute since in this way salt, which is in any case necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used material is ammo- . uium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding ( in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Kudemann ; has, however, found tkat the ammonia is ' by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. Tin's result was communicated to the Association of Chemists assembled «t Washington in August, 1891, and although the presence of ammonia is not a source of dang'er for the con.-uni'T nearly all the chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of fimmoniitm 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 fhould carefully avoid any 1 artiolcH used in the preparation of food which are not healthful. Looking at the enormous trade now done in bakin"powder, users should be careful to select a good brand and keep to it. for it is on record that iu the United States particularly alum aud other chemicals not at ah suited to improve the delicate org.ins of digestion are freely used. Whose arc good baking powders ? In settling this questiqp, we must not be too much guided by pnffy testimonials couched in . very glowing terms, nor—although it is necessary now-a-days, in order to make at>y good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its value—rely too much on newspaper i advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more bo than in the States is the baking 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 iu the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammonincal poisons .is dispensed iu New iTork ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised bv an opposition company, the vtidict is reversed iu a very decided u.atiner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by fi'ishy advertisements, but test for yourselves. ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repented, has been committed when the mind was upset by fe»d made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do yo* pronouuee S-h-a-r----l-a-s-d's B-a-k-i-n (; P-o-w-D-E-n ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, aud most satisfactory to use.'

Canuell aud Co.'s Lime is the purest lime on record, analysing as high as US 92 pe cent, in the unbnrnt stone. For builders', plasterers', aud 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 1 in fertility arid 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. Sutton aud Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state Devonshire fanners alone lost £1.00,00!) through not dressing their turnip lands with lime ; .they consider lime as as essential demerit in fanning and stock raising. \V.
