MPORTANT FOOD TESTS.

How to Produce More Economical ul Healthful Articles for the Table. The official food Analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have been studied with interest The United States government report gives the names of eighteen well-known baking powders, some of them advertised as pure cream-of-tartar powders, which contain alum. The report shows the Royal to be a pure cream-of-tartar baking powder, the highest in strength, evolving 160.6 cubic inches of leavening gas per single ounce of powder. There were eight other brands of cream-of-tartar powders tested, and their average strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of powder. The Canadian government investigations were of a still larger number of powders. The Royal Baking Powder was here also shown the purest and highest in strength, containing fortyfive per cent more leavening gas per ounce than the average of all the other cream-of-tartar powders. These figures are very instructive to the practical housekeeper. They indicate that the Royal Baking Powder goes more than 33 per cent, further in use than the otters, or is one-third more economical. Still more important than this, however, they prove this popular article has been brought to the highest degree of purity—for to its superlative purity this superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by its use we may be insured the purest and most wholesome food. The powders of lower strength are found to leave large amounts of impurities in the food. This fact is emphasized by the report of the Ohio State Food Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent of inert or foreign matters. The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder more than half of all the cream-of-tartar consumed in the United States for all purposes. The wonderful sale thus indicated for the Royal Baking Powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is perhaps even a higher evidence than that already quoted of the superiority of this article, and of its indispensableness to modern cookery.

from the Gulf to the St. Lawrence, come the glad tidings of woman’s suffering relieved by it; and thousands upon thou-, sands of letters are pouring in from grateful women, saying that it will and does positively cure those painful Ailments of Women. It will cure the worst forms of female complaints, all ovarian troubles, inflammation and ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb, and consequent spinal weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the change of life. Every time it will cure Backache. It has cured pore cases of leucorrhcea by removing the cause, than any remedy the world has ever known; it is almost infallible in such cases. It dissolves and expels tumors from the uterus in an early stage of development, and checks any tendency to cancerous humors. Lydia E. Piiikhani’s Liver Pills work in unison with the Compound, and are a sure Cure for constipation and sickheadache. Mrs. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash is frequently found of gfeatjvalue for local application. ‘'Correspondence is freely solicited by the Lydia E.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age. KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY. DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS., Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston. Send postal card for book. A benefit Is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken. When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the, ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it. Read the label.

TIMELY FARM TOPICS.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FARM, GARDEN AND STABLE. Value of Crimson Clover as Feed and Manure—Home-Made Bnlky Plow Used in the Northwest Territories —Fence-for Wet Grounds. Crimson Clover. Crimson clover is a comparatively new crop, yet the area seeded each year is rapidly increasing. Where its characteristics have been studied and are well understood by farmers it is very highly regarded, and now has a fixed and important place among the regular farm crops. The, New Jersey experiment station, according to the American Agriculturist, has made a very careful study of the plant, and experiments are still in progress to fully determine its advantages and limitations. In the truck sections of the State it is largely used as a green manure crop, while in the dairy regions and among general farmers it is esteemed for early pasture, for forage, for soiling, or for hay. In southern sections large areas are being turned under as a manure for corn, tomatoes, potatoes and other crop?, while in the more northern sections it is used to some extent for pasture, and in summer as a soiling crop and in orchards as a green manure. The single stool shown in the accompanying illustration was removed from the soil on April 24. It represents the average size of the crop on that date on good soil. It was seeded in a pear orchard in Gloucester County on Aug. 1. particular pains were taken to retain the whole root system to the depth of the surface soil, and the size of the taproot, as well as the abundance of fine rootlets ( with the accompanying tubercles, indicate a strong feeding capacity. Its stooling character is also an important feature, actual count showing seventy distinct branches in this stool. In the central sections of the State the average size in good soils, seeded under good conditions, was probably about

six inches on the same date. The studies made last year at this station show .ae great value of the crop even when averaging only six inches high when used. It was found that the roots and stubble on an acre of a full stand of this size contained 103.7 pounds of nitrogen, an amount equivalent to that contained in 648 pounds of nitrate of soda, which would cost at present prices sls; or it was equivalent in nitrogen and organic matter to that contained in ten tons of average quality yard manure, the nitrogen in which represents two-thirds of its total value as actual plant food, and which costs $2 per ton delivered at consumer’s depot. Regarded as a food, it would furnish in pasture actual nutritious compounds sufficient to maintain twelve cows in full flow of milk for one week. The value of the crop is, of course, proportionately increased as it approaches maturity, and when fully grown is quite as valuable, other things being equal, as the common red variety.

Hens in Hot Weather. Summer is the time to get hens in condition for fall and winter laying. Most of those that were prolific layers in spring will now want to set, but this should not be allowed. Kill off all the roosters, and begin feeding the hens liberally of the kind of food that makes feathers. Wheat Is as good as anything, with some milk every day to drink. If fed thus they will begin to moult early, and get through this depressing operation before cold weather. A small quantity of linseed meal will help the hens to shed their old coats. Many do not begin to feed extra until cold weather. Then even if the new coat is produced, the hen is too much eihauqted to begin laying before spring. A Tree Hitching; Post. It is often desirable to use a tree for a hitching post, but there is danger that the horse may gnaw the bark, or

trivance to prevent horses from gnawing trees consists of a staple to which are attached three or four links of a chain, a half-inch rod thirty inches long, then three or four more links, with a snap at the end. Profit in Cabbage. At two cents a head, the cultivation of ten or more acres of good cabbage will net the farmer a very handsome return for his labor, more actual cash, with less labor, thfln a crop of wheat or oats will necessitate. Being a hardy vegetable, less risk is encountered in growing them up to marketable condition; this means a great deal to the grower. Locate near a good market, try cabbage as a principal vegetable, and with ordinary success they will pay. If Hollanders can grow them profitably and ship them to New York, certainly the demand for them is beyond the supply.

To change an ordinary plow into a riding plow, an old wagon wheel may be cut down to 36 inches in diameter and the tire reset. Then have a blacksmith make necessary irons (see illustration) and any intelligent man can do the rest at home. Either make a new axle about 4V4 feet long and clamp over the plow beam, over the upright standard and on the forward end of the plate which lies on top of this axle. Directly over the beam have a hinge made to which the pole is bolted. The iron braces which are seen hinged from the end of the lever to the front end of the beam serve to lift the plow out of the ground and to keep the pole in its place over the beam. A brace of hard wood or iron must be fastened from the axle, near the wheel, to the front end of the plow beam. When the plow is lifted out of the ground it runs on its heel, but a wheel may be added if preferred. The seat of a mower or hay rake is bolt-

ed to the axle and the plow is complete. This plow, says Farm and Horae, will do as good work as any sulky plow in the market, and the plow can be detach ed at any time if wanted for drilling potatoes or any work of that kind. The cut above is a reproduction taken from a plow in actual service in one of the extensive grain fields of Alberta. A Believer in Few Crops. An acre of ground may be made to grow a half dozen different kinds of supplies for the farm, thus preventing the necessity of expending money at the store; but if that acre can be made to produce a cash crop that will buy these supplies, and require only half as much of the time and labor of the farmer, it is business to let the patches go. The little side crops take so much valuable time in the busy growing season, and those who grow these supplies as field crops on soil and with tools adapted to their culture, can sell us what we need far more cheaply than we can grow them. I believe that a very few kinds of crops are enough for one farm, says a writer. Modern tillage requires many costly tools, and it is better to push a few paying crops than to fritter away time on numberless patches. By so doing there is less danger of neglecting anything, and there is more net profit at the end of the year. Some side crops may be raised because they pay in cash, but the planting of everything with the idea that the farmer must pay out no money for anything is a relic of a bygone era that will never return. Cleanliness In Milking. Men often go directly from the dirtiest operation of farming to the milking, not washing their hands, brushing their garments, or properly cleaning tho cow’s udder, and, to cap the climax, many moisten their hands and the teats with milk. Brushing the dry udder with the flat of the hand will remove much dirt Filth should be washed off with clean water. Both teats and hands should be clean and dry during milking. The strainer will not remove all Impurities. Many are dissolved, and thus get into the butter and cheese. A Fence Without Stakes. Stakes for fences are sometimes hard to obtain, and on some land stakes can never be kept in place, the frost throwing them out every year. Again, some land is so wet that ordinary stakes soon rot out The illustration, from the

FENCE FOR WET GROUND.

Orange Judd Farmer, shows an ingenious way to support a fence without stakes. Picket boards four inches wide are used for uprights, cross-pieces, and for braces, in the manner shown, the result being an exceedingly stiff support The fence boards are nailed to the edge of one upright before the other is put In place. The crosspieces should be laid on flat rocks, to prevent decay, while a few heavy rocks may he laid upon the ends to “ballast” the fence. Late-Planted Potatoes. If potatoes are planted on sod, the land should be plowed early and be thoroughly worked, delaying the planting until the sod has begun to rot This will avoid the air spaces under the hills which often interfere with the yield, as this space is wholly untouched by the cultivator. One of the great advantages of clover for plowing under'is that its sod rots very quickly, and thus the furrow does not hold up over a vacant space as it will in a tough June grass sod. This is nearly as important a point as good seed in securing a perfect even stand of potatoes, which is necessary in growing a large crop. Shade for Milch Cows. Shade is as essential to milch cows and fattening steers In summer as warmth in winter. If the pastures have no trees, erect a tight board shed, where they can go in and be in the dark, away from the flies. This fixture to a pasture often pays even if good shade trees abound. Such a building can be used for milking in, without driving the cows home, and in winter for storing mowers, rakes, etc. It should be built before the hurry of haying.—Farm Journal. Drainage on the Farm. Water is fatal to all life when in excess, because it deprives living organisms of the indispensable air. Plants must have air as animals must, and will drown when burled in water. Therefore, one of the first inquiries of the farmer must be as to whether his land needs draining, and, next, bow best to do It

HOVSEHOLD DEPARTMENT

A Sponge in the Kitchen. A good deal of dusting around coal stoves and open fires may be done to advantage with a damp sponge. An experienced housekeeper uses a largo, coarse sponge, once devoted to washing carriages. Throw it into a pail of warm water, and add a teaspoonful of ammonia. Squeeze it out as dry as possible and pass it quickly and lightly over the plain fnruiture, the paint the zinc, the corners of the carpets, the oilcloth, etc., rinsing out occasionally. It will remove every bit of dirt, and not merely disperse It into the room, as a cloth or feather duster too often does, and leave a bright, shining, clear surface that is very gratifying. While you have the pail in hand you will find it easy to wipe off finger marks or traces of that grime which seems to come, no one knows how, in winter. You give a cleansing touch here and there to doors, cupboard shelves, or tables, with very little loss of time, and without any of that deliberate effort required for regular cleaning. Potatoes Vlennuise. 801 l eight peeled potatoes with one tablespoonful of salt in one quart of water; when done drain and press through a potato press; mix with one even teaspoonful of salt, one-half even teaspoonful of pepper, two ounces of butter, the yolks of three eggs, onehalf gill of cream, and four ounces of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well, and form the mixture into round balls the size of an egg. Sprinkle some flour on a pastry board, roll the potatoes into long shapes, thick in the center and pointed at the ends; brush them ovei with beaten egg; make two slanting Incisions on top of each, lay them in a buttered pan, brush over again with egg, and bake to a fine golden color in a hot qven. To Make Fowl Tender. If you will try the following method of procedure you will be able to make the toughest fowl palatable. Truss it carefully, and put it on, with sufficient water to cover it Well, and let it stew (not boil) gently, but steadily, for six or eight hours, according to Its age. Then set it aside until next day, when you cau cook it as you sec fit, as though it were an ordinary raw fowl. All depends upon the gentleness of the first stewing, and, if that is done carefully, you will find you have a delicious dish. Tomato Preserves. Take the sound yellow variety as soon as ripe; scald and peel; to seven pounds of tomatoes add seven pounds of white sugar, and let them stand over night Take the tomatoes out of the sugar and boil the syrup, removing the scum; put iu the tomatoes, and boil slowly fifteen or twenty minutes; remove the fruit again, and boil until tho syrup thickens. On cooling, put tho fruit in jars; put a few slices of lemon in each jar, and pour the syrup over them. These are very nice.

Stewed Cabbage. Cut up a cabbage as for cold slaw. 801 lln water twenty minutes. Then drain thoroughly and barely cover with rich milk. Cover close and boll till tender, which will not require many minutes. Add a palatable seasoning of butter, pepper and salt, and when ready to serve add the yolk of a beaten egg mixed with a few spoonfuls of rich cream. Rolls. One pint of boiling milk, one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar, half a cupful of soft yeast, and flour to make a soft sponge. Let it rise over night, then knead hard; let it rise again and roll out; cut with a biscuit cutter and fold oVer. Useful Household Hints. Lamp chimneys must never be washed. Dampen a cloth in alcohol and rub them clear in half the time. Salads are at all times valuable as cooling, refreshing food, and are besides excellent food for promoting sleep. Grass stains should be rubbed with molasses thoroughly, and then washed out as usual. Another treatment Is to rub with alcohol and then wash in water. A common cause of failure in making fancy bread and rolls is mixing tho dough too stiff. It should be soft enough to be easily worked without being In the least sticky. In summer digestion needs to be vigorous, and to insure this end people ought to avoid as much as they can the use of foods which digest In the Intestines,, to which class bread and potatoes belong. Washing soda moistened to a paste will brighten tins quickly, and a teaspoonful added to a tablespoonful of Spanish whiting will make a paste that will clean marble if it is allowed to dry there. When the burners become clogged and sticky lay them in a small pot, cover with vinegar and add a tablGspoonful of salt; let them boil an hour or two. They wilf come out as fresh and clean as ever. It is said that a new potato grated finely and then used instead of soap to wash with is good. The juice of tho potato, raw, of course, contains some principle that acts quickly and beneficially on the skin. Salad dressing does not often require the cook stove to prepare it, since oil, vinegar; cream and eggs may be used. The taste and sentiment of every individual may be considered by varying the form of service to any conceivable extent. A good receipt for orange water ice is: One quart water, one pound sugar, the outer rind of one and the juice of three or four oranges. Strain into a can and .pack in ice and salt around it, and freeze and scrape it down until it is sufficiently frozen. Pulverized potash, which soon becomes sticky when exposed to the air, should be put in all the rat holes about the house. Some persons find ai mixture of* equal parts of cayenne pepper and Scotch snuff sprinkled well into the holes, to be still more efficacious.

Elks in Harness.

Elks broken to harness may soon cease to be a novelty In the Northwest, and perhaps even In the East. Several years ago a wealthy rancher In Montana had a team of the creatures which he used to drive to bis buggy, and when the fact became known other folk experimented in taming elks for a like purpose. Such a team was brought East last year and caused much interest A rancher on the river, Washington, is the last to experiment with elks for work purposea He has a fine team recently broken to harness, which, he says, will haul as heavy a load as auy pair of horses, are as docile, and much handsomer. It may be that the elk will hold back for a while the electrical and mechanical tide that is sweeping the horse from the highways, and preserve the pleasures of the road that come from riding behind a thing of life, while adding a picturesque element

B. Calhoun, residing at 1747 East Madison av., Cleveland, Mr. Lloyd said that he was at present out of a Job, but expected to go to work next woek at the Bridge works. “Anyway I have the promise of a Job there,” were his words, lie had been out of employment since last fall. We will let him tell his story In his own words: “Work was a little slack, and I was feeling so bad that I concluded to lay off for a few days, and when I returned my place was filled, so I’ve been out ever since. I don't care much, though. . .I’ve been gaining right along by my rest and treatment. Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to me as a good one and with quite a reputation. He gave me medicines of all kluils for nearly six weeks and I got no benefit that I could see. In fact I don't believe he knows what is the matter with me. A friend of mine called one evening and told me he had been using Itlpans Tabules for a.short time, and had never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they did. He handed me a circular about them, which I read, aud concluded that they were Just what I needed and would fit my case exactly. I dropped Dr. at once, went over to the drug store and got a 50-cent box of them, out of which I took two a day for a while, and within three days noticed and felt much Improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last February r got another small box of • the Tabules amftook part, of them only, as I was feeling so much better that I didn’t think I needed any more. The rest of the box I gave to John C— the other day. If I had heard of them at the time I •topped work I could have saved my doctor bill, and, better than all, probably kept right on with my work. But I do not begrudge the time lost nor the doctor bill, as I feel I am well paid for having learned of the Tabules.
