keepers are not ubuallv much benefited by such chanties. Alum baking powders are generally luw priced, but they are well known to be detrimental to health. Large Quantities of one ol them were recently seized in New York, being found to be largely composed of sharp-pointed grains of ground flint and sulphuric acid! Most of the so-called phosphate powders are mixed with alum. The manufacturer of a phosphate powder has patented the process of making the principal Ingredient of his powder from bones digested with sulphuric acid. Housekeepers do not want Fuch mixtures In their food. They should never encourage peddlers nor admit testera or alleged experimenters in food within their doors, and when buying baking powder should get a brand well known to be made of cream of tartar, which is a healthful product of the grape. ciftilNtoiK-'a lualns Yrnra. Karly in the Ks, when he lived in Harley street, Mr. Gladstone often walked from his house to Westminster by the way of Regent street and Pall Mall, and it was on one of these occasionns, in the ye How dusk of a wintry afternoon, that I saw him for the BrSl time. Even the few in the crowd who did not know him were arrested by the rare distinction of his appearance, which suggested both power and benevolence. Apparently in the prime jl life, though actually beyetnd it, and with a figure of supple strength and more than common height, his face 1 pallid but tmlnOM, be bore himself vith that dlfS-tj and graee which no- ' blee and princee do not always inherit and the lender! of men can not al- . ways acquire.

PIECE ROOT GRAFTING.

t Systens a( Prassasatloa to I m I era Mtales. A few years ago there was much nolsa made by auuie MUMrjnssa regarding . ur society, says: "The wnole-rout grafted and budded trees may be considered of about equal hardiness iu this state. The root system vt the budded and whole-root graftI ed tie is eutirely that of the stock on 1 ia s a. a . a m- - - which the variety is worked. There may be a few Instances where roots are formed above the point of union when trees are transplanted dtep while young, but such would be an exception and not the general experience of the growers planting them. If the stock used was as hardy as the variety work d on it there would be no objec tion to fu( h trees when the other re- ! qulrenients of the roots were equal to i the demands of the variety worked on It. Unfortunately, however, many of the seedling stfu-ka are not hardy and that is the reason why budded or wholeroot grafted trees are not so desirable to plant in this state as trees grown on '.heir own roots or roots of equal hardiness. I 'The superiority claimed for tree I grown from the piece-root graft 3 la that the scion, when planted deep, forms roots and In time the tree Is on Its own roots. The piece of root tlmply serves to keep the scion alive until it can form roots of its own. All sclor.a I do not form roots readily and the 1 r.glh I of scion and root aned varies as well as I the depth at hieb they are plante d, so i there is considerable variability as to : the extent to which piece -tont f-n.fted trees are on their own roots Howe ver, , the consensus of opinion Is that the piece-root system of propagation is the I best to use for apple tre s to p'.ant in the northwest." ROAD MAKING HINT. Hon In I ar llonich Material, urh aa l,nr(r Klelil gtSSMSi t HphbHlile Ailiantaice. The only way to use rough material, as large as field stone, in road grading is : to make long, continuous cnttMWOje in the bottom of the grade, bringing or filling the stone foundation up to a uniform level on top by placing the large stone on the outside in a straight line for protection to hold the stone grade, then the next size In the bottom of holes and low places, using all of the ' small ones on top, leveling up to an average depth of about one foot 'hick and ten feet wide, writes A.J. Säger, in the Climax (Mich.) Cereal. The object in assorting and placing the stone with the small ones on top is to give the grade a uniform, even surface to drive over with stone and dirt while building. When the grade is new the earth cover will cat through to the imall itone on top, causing a uniform. Men rut to be formed, carrying the load until repairs are made the next year, whereas, if the stone is dumped into the bottom and top of the grade haphazard th surface will be uneven, the sides irregular and the road Impassable while new for heavy loads during the net season. Araln, if the small stones are placed on top of the stone grade they will keep the earth cover from settling into the voids between the large stones in the bottom, thus forn;- ! ing a good, practical drainage for the rth (()Vrr before any ditches are made for tn(. nPW roa,i Bra,ie. rhe earth cover for the stone grade i should be hauled from the banks of ! hiuh land, using gravel mixed with a little clay or clay hardpan, not using the black lo.on. sods or other rough surlace material at hand, because It is more convenient. The same care should be used In seleetlng tho material to cover the center of a permanent stone eaena way. as In permanent earth road construction. PULVERIZER FOR TURF.
