' Sharland's Baking 1 Powder,' promptly roplied the other. 1 How else could you pronounce it ?' ■ 1 pronounce it ' most excellent," was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of bukiug powderx, a scientific exchange explains that ' the various baking powders ot' commerce are employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by tho action of the yoa.»t. The composition of baking powders varies considerably. It appears to bo most convenient to produce (he carbonic ;tci(i In the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabonate liinee in this way salt, -which is in any ease necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used oate/ial is ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this substance after aiding in making die douyh rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Endemann has, however, found that tbo ammonia ia by no means all removed, but remains more or less completely united with the gluten. This result was communicated to the Association of C'hoinists assembled ut Washington in August, 1891, and although tho presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer noadv all tho chemists present agreed in discouraging the use of ammonium carbonate in It is a true saying that ' what the eye does not sec the heart does not grieve over,' but at (he same time it is quite as well that we tliould carefully avoid any articles used in tho 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 i* on record that in the United States particularly alum and other chemicals not at alt 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 I guided by puffy testimonials couched in very glowing terms, nor—although it is ! necessary now-a-davs, in order to make I 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 so than in tho 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 in the world is made in Chicago, and the vilest of all ammoniacal poisons ia dispensed in New York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy 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 food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. 1 How do you pronounce R-h-a-k----l-a-n-d"s B-a-k-i-n g P-o-w-d»e-r ?'

Cannell and Co.'s Lime is the purest lime on record, analysing as high as 95'92 pe 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 siow, 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 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 farmers alone lost £100,000 through not drsssing their turnip lands with lime ; they consider lime as as essential element in fanning and stock raising. \V. Brydonc, Esq., of the Rdend.ile Estate, Dunedin, states he uses4oo to 600 tons of lime per auiium on light medium soils for oats aucl turnips, at 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 tho soil. We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coates, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mullins, Odium, and sthers who have used and proved our liine to be valuab'e in turnip, oats, grass, potatoes, wheat, orchard, and other lands. Lime should be carted on to the laud in autumn for lands to be used for spring crops. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, Agent, Hamilton. [Telephone No. 355. QLADSTON.E jgREWERY.
