' How else could you pronounce it T ' I pronounce it ' must cxcolLnt," Was the witty rejoinder. Speaking of baking powders, a ecientifio exchange explains that ' the vat ions Vikinjf powders of commerce arc employed to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action of the yca.-t. The composition pf baking powders varies considerably. It appears to be most convenient to produce the carbonic acid by the action of hydrochloric acid on sodium bicabouate since in this way salt, which is in any case necessary, is also formed. Another widely-useu material is ammonium carbonate. It lias been hitherto assnmed that this substance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudemann has, however, found t!*at 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, IS9I, and althoHgh the presence of ammonia is not a source of danger for the consumer nearly ail the chemists present agreed in discouraging the rise of ammonium carbonate in It is a trne 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 wo should 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 aud keep to it, for it is on record that in the United States particularly 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 very glowing terms, nor--although it is necessary now-a-days, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such tirap as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its valuo—rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, moro so 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 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 iu a very decided manner. Do not, therefore, be altogether led away by flashy advertisements, but tent for yourselves. ' Indigestion doth make brutes of us all,' and many a deed, afterwards bitterly repeuted, has been committed when the mind was upset by food made with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-ina-k-L-A-N-D'S B-A-K-I-N G P-O-w-D-K-K ?' ' I pronounco it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, aud most satisfactory to use.' /S'b'bl) INVESTMENTS Cannell and Co.'s Pure Carbonate of Lime Phcenix Insura ice Company's Policy 300 Acres, SuLuros of Hamilton West, frontage to Ohaupo - Hamilton Road and Waikato River; partly improved and fenced.

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 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 farmers in America consider they have raised the value of their butter and sheep lands £S per acre through using lime. Sutton and Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state Devonshire farmers alone lost £100,000 through not dressing their turnip lands with lime ; they consider lime as as essential element in farming aud stock raising. W. Brydone, Esq., of the Edendale Estate, Dunedin, states he uses4oo to 600 tons of lime per annum on light medium soils for oats and 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 the soil. We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coates, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Muliins, Odium, and others who have used and proved our lime to be valuable in turnip, oats, grass, potatoes, wheat, orchard, aud 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.
