' How elne 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 to produce an artificial evolution of carbon dioxide, to support that produced in the dough by the action ef tht< yeiiet. The 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 bicabocato cince in this way salt, which is in any caso necessary, is also formed. Another widely-used material ic ammonium carbonate. It has been hitherto assumed that this eubetance after aiding in making the dough rise was volatilised by the heat of the oven. Dr. Eudemumi has, however, found tkafc 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 Chemicts assembled at Washington in August, 1891, and although the presence of ammonia is not u source of danger for the consumer nearly all the chemists present agreed in disoouraging.the use of ammonium carbonate iu It is a true wiying , that ' what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve ovei , ,' but at the came time it in quite an well that we rhould imrefully uvoid imy .utiolesi used in the preparation of food which are noiheiihhful. Looking nt the enormous trade now done in baking , powder, users >-hould be careful to nelect a good brand and keep to it. for it is cm record that iu the United States particularly alum mid other chemicals not at all suited to improve the delicate organs of digestion are freely used. Whose ure good baking powders ? In settling this question, . we must not be too much guided by puffy testimonies couched in very plowing terms, nor—although it i* necessary now-a-day<>, in order to make any good preparation known, to advertise freely until such time as all possible consumers are practically acquainted with its valui>—rely too much on newspaper advertisements. Nowhere, perhaps, more bo than in tho States is the baking , powder advertising war raping 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 Now York ; while in another organ, evidently subsidised by an opposition company, the verdict is reversed in a very decided i;.anner. 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 marie with faulty, not to say injurious, materials. ' How do you pronounce S-h-a-k----l-a-n-d's B-a-k-i-n o P-o-w-d-e-b ?' ' I pronounce it most excellent. It is a perfect preparation, healthful, and most satisfactory to use. , p~6 o d i nveTtments" Cannell and Co.'s I'ure Carbonate of

Cauntll and Co.'s Lime is the piirest lime on record, analysing us high as OS 92 pe cent.' in the unluirnt atone. Fur builders', plaslertrV, and agriculturists' use it is not to be surpassed. Limestone countries for grass require no stimulating manures, lime being the only legitimate solvent tor 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 gra/.ing 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 £8 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 and stock raising. W. Brydone, 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 fid per acre, and considers it pays him back out of first crop, buf that the good effects are lasting in the soil. We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coates, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mulling, Odium, and others who have used and proved our lime to be valuable in turnip, oats, grass, potatoes, whtat, orchard, and other lands. Lime should be carted on to the land in autumn for lauds to be used for spring crops. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, Agent, Hamilton. [Teleitione No. 355. ri LADSTONE T> REWE RY.
