What is
iream of
in.
Tartar ?
When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid
of the fruit is crystallized and precipitated.
This is collected, refined to absolute purity,
and ground to a powder. This is cream of
tarta:
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven
ing agencies and a most healthful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape,
or cream of tartar, is the material from
which Royal Baking Powder is made. It
is many times more expensive than ingre
dient used in many baking powders, but
being healthful in itself, it adds healthfulness
to the food instead of degrading it.

WHEN TO CUT Hit.
fta Rale Can Dc Laid Dowi That Mtcht

Modlflcatloaa.
As a general proposition it Is best
to out bay just as it is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifica
tions according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock. For horses It is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that "one stt-ong objection that
works ugainst the early cutting of hay
is the teudency of hay mnde from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone preclude the use of such
hay for warking horses. All newly
made hay has a laxative and loosening
effect upon nnimals. Such hay cannot
be eold to the keeper of a livery stable,
because, as he would say, ho has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are of the opinion that this
luxutive quality of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through a
process of sweating, which occurs In
the mow. No matter how dry the hay
ia at the time it is put in the barn, it
is held that it will always sweat some
what in the mow. Hy October the
process is completed, so that the hay
is fit for use, provided it was ripe
enough when mown. Hut in the case
of hay made from young grass, as
rowen. for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay ia
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since It is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
stumble."
Such It the oplnon of Storer. HoW
far it is borne out in the experience 4f
western farmers la rather difficult to
aay. Farmer' Review.
