Does your baking powder
contain alum ? Look upon
the label. Use only a powder
whose label shows it to be
made with cream of tartar.
NOTE. Safety lies in buying
only the Royal Baking Powder,
which is the best cream of tartar
baking powder that can be had.

Crown-Rail and Hairy-Root.
A report of investigations bv Mr.
George O. Hedgecock, of tbe U. &
Department of Agriculture on Crown-
Gall and Uairy-Koot. IndioaUs tbat
tbey are two soparateand distinct dis
eases, which is contrary to the belief
by soma that these are two forma of
the same disease. Much remains yet
to be learned about these diseases of
which tbe gall Is the more common.
It is found on tbe roots of various
kinds of fruit trees and other fruit
bearing plants, and other plants as
well.
The above reports says, galls often
occur in connection witb bairv-root.
but these are results of wounds rather
than a form of this disease. "Apple
orown gall is of two types," says tbe
report. "A hard callous form is com
mon on grafted trees at the union of
tbe root and scion, and at any other
point of the root system where wounds
occur in either tbe cultivation or
transplanting oi trees. " "A seoon
type is a soft form more common
seedlings," meaning seedling stock
used for grafting. In nor ODlninn
this "soft" form may be tbe earn, as
tbat designated as tbe "callous" form,
being soft by reason of the softer tis
sues of young seedlings.
All forms of root disease should be
rejected and destroyed both by the
nurseryman and planters.
No remedy for this disease has yet
been found, and much concerning it
remains to be studied. b A. II.

Weather for April.
D. N. Byerleo, local weather obser
ver, reports tne weatber ror April as
follows:
The weather for April has been re
markable for Its high temperature aud
low percentage of precipitation.
During tbe 22 years in which tbe
records have been kept there have
been but two years in which the pre
cipitation has been lower in April
than this year, towit: 18H5, wheu it
whs ,w i in-iios, Bua r.HM wnou it was
.41. During this time the tempera
ture was as high and low but two
years,as follows: in 1000 and 1905,
the maximum for April was lu both
yeais 88 degrees and the minimum for
the year 181)4 was 2(1 degrees, and for
1005, 30 degrees. All other years the
temperature was lower for the maxl
mum and higher for the minimum in
April.
This gives us the result of 1.40 In
ches deficiency in moisture and an ex
cess of heat of 12. (i degrees. The
effect of this condition is showing
itself in the growth of tbe crops which
has lioen wonderfully rapid during
tho past month, llelow will be found
a copy of the report sent to the de
partment by the local observer.
The (Spencer Heedless Apple.
Commenting upon theSnenoer Seed
less Apple tbe National Nurseryman
says:
"Ibis apple, which the Dromoters
insist upon DroDauatine and selling
throughout the country in advance
of Experiment station or individual
trial, was exhibited at the New York
State Fruit Growers' meeting at Lock
port.
"There were Ave or six iDeoimens
or an apple or medium size, regular
rorm, Dut witb one exception unat
tractive color.
The skin was smooth, more or loss
covered with a dull shading ot red.
except In tbe case when noted, when
the specimen was fairly well tinged
whii ngut and dark red.
"One specimen, the bent colored
one, was out by Mr. roll, of Uuffalo,
who is promoting the propagation and
sale of the apple in this section of tbe
couutry. 'lhe specimen out was en
tlrely seedless; it was not only seed
leHS, tut the core region was mainly
occupied with close-grained flush, and
this character of tbe texture prevailed
tnroiignout tne iruit.
"The core carries were tiresent. but
or (iiminiHiied size. Inure was some
evidence of a superimposed set of core
carpels. Samples ot the apple were
touted by an informal committee, and
opinions as to its quality were ex
oh anged.
"It was compared witb Northern
Spy and Den Davis. Its texture com
pared favorably with both of these
vaiietios. It was serlmiHlv lacking in
juice, nowever, and in llavor was
distinctly inferior to the specimen a
inow oik grown specimen, too lion
Davis, with which It was oomnarod.
Of course, it was therefore not to be
onuHidored as being in the class of
Northern Spr.
"if these specimens represent the
quality of the fruit, there seems no
good reason why it should bit propa
gated, and no apparent justification
tor pressing it upon the public, it is
a ouriosity apparently without valu
able commercial or amateur character
istlcs."

Value of Carbonate of Lime.
A correspondent of tbe Conutrv
uoiiuoman says carbonate ot lima and
not cauatio lime is the proper form to
use in llining land. Caustlo lime is
the commerci
carbon io acid
heat. The use of oaustio lime wastes
tbe nitrogeu lu tho soil, whereas tbe
oaroonate or lime conserves for plan
use all the nitrogeu in manure whiob
Is applied to tbe soil, lloth ths oaus
tic lime and carbouate of lime ueu
tralize the acid lu tho soil. The latter
is ror all other purpose to be tirefer-
red. He quotes Prof. Johnson, the
great argicultural chemist of Vale, as
saying that the chief argicultural
value or wood asbes is not lu the five
per cent of potash, but in the 35 per
cent of finely-divided carbonate of
lime contained therein. The trouble
about applying these statements in a
practical way iu Oregon Is tbe ditil-
oulty in securing a supply of carbou
ate of lime. Our supplies of lime
stone rock are few and far betweeu
and for tbat reason lime in any form
is high in price. Our soft woods also
make but a limited supply of ashes.
It would appear, however, that it is
better to use air-slaked lime than
rresb lime on land as lime, wheu ex
posed to the air, takes up a consider
able quantity of carbonate acid from
tbe air.
