Ammonia in Baking rowilera. Among tho recont discoveries in sci eneo and chemistry, nouo is moroimpoi taut than tho uses to which common tunmouia can bo proiwrly put as n loav cuing agent, ami which indicate that this familiar salt is hereafter to perform an active pint in tho propitiation of our daily food. The cnrlxiimto of ammonia is an ox ceedingly volatlio substance 1'laco a small portion of it upon a knife mid hold over a tlame, and it will almost immedi ately bo entirely dovelopod into gas anil pass olT into tho air. (!as thus formed is n simple composition of nitrogen and hydiogcn. Xo rcsiduo is left from tho ammonia. This gives it its superiority mh a leavening powor over soda and cream of tartar mid alone, and has in duced its use as n supplement to these in tick's. A small quantity of ammonia tit the dough is ellective in producing biead that will lw lighter, sweeter, and more wholesomo than that risen by any other leavening agent. When it is act ed upon by the heat of baking the leaven gas that raises the dough is liberated. In tins act it uses iiscit up. leaving no trace or ivstdum whatever. The light Unify, llaky apiwarance, so desirable in biscuits, etc., and so sought after by pro fessional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by tho use of this agent. Tho bakers and baking powder manufacturer producing 'ho finest good have been quick to avail them selves of this useful discovery, and the handsomest and best bread and cake are now largely risen by tho aid of ammonia, combined, of course, with other leaven ing material. Ammonia is one of tho lost known products of tho laboratory. If, as it seems to bo justly claimed for it, the ap plication of its propei ties to the purposes of cooking results in giving tis lighter and more wholesome broad, biscuit, and cako, it will provo a boon to dyspeptic humanity, and will spmliry torco itseii into general use in the now Held to which science has assigned it. Summer fallows frequently fail of their purpose by Knnginelnciently man aged. They receive one or two plow iugs only, during the summer; tho surfaco hardens into a crust and becomes a ina&j of clods when plowed, and weeds aro al lowed to grow and seed tho laud. The time required for repeated plowings pro vents the necessary work, but with tho Acme Pulverizing Harrow, Clod Crusher and Lovelor, work even better than plow ing may bo porfounod in ono-tif th of tho timo weeds slice! up and killed, and the ojicrntion repeated bo often and rapid ly, that tho field will be n clean, mellow bed by autumn.
