Making Good Coffee

The making of good coffee is rare
thing in this country; most persons boil
it, thus makinga decoction instead of an
infusion; this etfec tually gets rid of the
delicate and agreeable aromatic flavor
and leaves comparatively tasteless
beverage. The neutrality-suspicious. will
be found worth attentions:
Never buy your coffee ground, but
grind it yourself, Immediately before
using it; keep your cotfee-pot, whatever
kind you may use, wiped clean and dry
inside; a damp tea or coffee pot acquires
a musty flavor that spoils the best tea
or coffee. The cheapest and perhaps the
best coffee-pots are those made on the
French Plan, called cafetieres. If you
have not one of these, adopt the follow
ing plan: Put your freshly grouRd cof-
fee into the coffee pot, previously made
warm, and pour upon it water actually
warm; set the pot by the side of the fire
for few seconds, but do not let it boil
up, then pour cupfull ont and return
it back again to the pot in order to
clear it; having done this let it stand on
the hob OF centre to settle, and in less
than FIVE minutes transparent, strong,
aromatic cup of coffee may be poured
out. The proportions of coffee (which
should not be too finely ground) recon-
mended, are an ounce to a pint or pint
and half Of water.
The milk used with coffee should
always be boiled and used as hot as pos
sible; the boiling of milk imparts pecu-
liar and exceedingly pleasant flavor to
the coffee. White sugar is recommend
ed, as the mslasses-like flavor of moist
sugar quite overpowers the delicate aro-
ma.--Germdntotrn Telegraph.

An Recommendations YOUNG Man.

A little incident, says the Hartford
Courant, occurred yesterday morning
in one of the cars of the Hartford and
New Haven Railroad, which gave q
gratifying proof of the Difference paid
BY young men to the wishes of the Ia
dies, and their readiness to supply o
want as soon as it becomes known. The
car in question was nearly filled, as cars
are apt to be in this day Of travel. Its
floor near the door was covered with
tobacco juice, as, alas, car floors are like
ly to be in this day when the use of the
vile weed so much prevails. At one of
the way stations well-dressed lady en-
tered the car, and looked with uncon-
cealed disgust at the pools of yellew and
Shiny juice on the floor, then raised her
dress slightly and picked her way
across. The only vacant sitting in the
car was a seat occupied in part by a
young man, who at once made room for
the lady by his side. As soon as she
was seated, with look of relief ming
led with one of solicitude, the lady asked
her seatmate: "Do you chew tobacco ~
mo, ma'am," was the reply, "but l can
get you a chew if you like" The look
of disgust again crept over the lsdy's
face, while those sitting by smiled audi
bly.

Stirring the Soil.

Repeated string of the soil we regard
as almost, if not quite as essential to
good and successful cultivation as ma
nure. Indeed, we have known good
crops taken from land that was counted
as "too poor to raise beans" by merely
repeated plowings and harrowings.
Expend money first in draining, if you
have clayed, or naturally wet soil; then
plow, pillow, plow, as often and deeply
q you please. The more and oftener
and deeper the soil is stirred, the better
will trees or plants grow and fruit. The
mechanical action Of the soil, and its
permeability to atmospheric influence
are too often lost sight of, and many a
piece of ground on which manures have
been placed until il has got to be
what is termed "fat" and unproductiye,
only needs repeated STRINGS and open
ing to the action of atmospheric ele-
ments to bring it to the highesl profit
able condition.-RortieultWTist.

Turnip. n. Food for Animal.

J. l.. Hersey writes The Massachusetts,
PlormGn that among farmers there are
various views and opinions as to the
value of turnips as food for cattle and
hogs; and that different results have
been obtained by different farmers in
their experiments, is fact very well
authenticated. The difference is not in
the turnips; that is acknowledged: :
neither is it all in the animal; but |
think the turning point on which all de-
ponds is the manner of preparing as
food. / have seen a farmer stuff his
animals to repletion one day, and to-
morrow allow them to 60 hungry and
thirsty also; animals managed thus can
not thrive on the best keeping in the
country. There is no one thing that
tends to keep animals in q thriving con-
dition more than regularity in feeding.
and many farmers PROFOUND the question
"are turnips of any value as food for
hogs ~ and your old fossil farmer will
reply, "they are good fer nothing for
any of my crittrs-for fed out as many
as forty bushels to a yoke of oxen, aud
/ couldn't see they gained one mite. /"
Another farmer will say, II consider
turnips an excellent feed to commence
fattening animals on. tried . couple
Of cows last fall, and never saw animals

pntnam Comfy Gives fifty
Democratic Majority!
MASON Does the Same, Only n
Little More So,
uurrah. Hurrah Hurrah

We head this article with an extract
from the Kauawhs Republican. We ad-
NIT that we were not prepared for such
results. Private telegIams had advised
u, of the political revolution that has
svept ever the Kanawha Valley, but
We were not disposed to regard the re-
suit rs a triumph; We preferred to
consider it substantial gain.
The returns compel us to rejoice with
exceeding great joy. For the first time
in our recollection, Kanawha county
elects Democrat to represent her in the
Legislature. Against Radical majori-
~ of nearly five hundred last year, she
gives Radical majority Of only sixty
seven for senator, while by a majority
of three, she sends Democrat to talk
and vote and act for in the next House
Of Delegates. The Radical delegate,
Mr.. McWHoRTER, has only twenty-five
votes between him aud defeat, while a
wear ago, he had majority of four hun
and eighty-seven over General RUFF
xrR. the best and most popular man we
could bring forward.
The following extract from the Re
publican tells the story III better words
than ouIs:
The majority of nearly 500, which the
Radicals figured up at their headquar-
trrS-the JOWadl Office-last Thursday
morning, has entirely vanished; and
their most popular man, Mr.. McWhor-
ter, is elected by majority of only y,
against 439 over Judge Summers, and
~ over General Ruffner last year.
We have received no official returns
from Putnam and Mason counties, but
the latest intelligence placed the Demo-
cratic majority at 30 in Putnam, and
lJO in Mason, with two Democratic pre-
Cincts TO hear from.
Clay and Nicholas are reported to
have gone overwhelmingly Democratic.
At all events, we can count the election
of Mr.. Bumgarner (Dem. to the Senate.

The Conservative Forces.

The Charlestown Free Press takes us
to task for claiming the recent political
results in this State as Democratic
yictOrieS.' 1t says that we ''seem to be
unaware OF the Conservative forces in
the contest" The Free Press is mistaken
in supposing that the Democrats want
all the hOnors. They are perfectly will
ling to award full credit to all men, of
whatever par y, who may aid in reliev-
ing our State from her present distress.
Having conceded this much We want
20 remind the Conservative forces" in
the vicinity of the Free Press of slight
mistake they made at the recent cleo
tion. At Harper's Ferry, CHAMBERS,
Radical candidate for Representative,
runs twenty votes ahead of his ticket,
evidently receiving support from the
Conservatives. At the same place,
WILSON, Conservative candidate for
representative, falls ten votes short of
his party strength. Those teu votes
would have elected him. We also no
tlce that the Free Press adheres to
Its favorite diversion of calling
West Virginia q "bogus State" Uni
ting these various facts, We conclude
that if our cotemporary will quit talk
ing about the States legality, whose
status it cannot change, and devote
some attention to local elections which
1t can influence, the Democratic forces
OF this region will be decidedly obliged
TO " the Conser ative forces of Jeffer-
son. We think that it is entirely
within the power of the Free Press and
SPIRIT Of jefferson to build up an Opposi-
ton to Radicalism in Jefferson county
'hat will carry that county regularly
aud certainly. At least, an effort in
that direction would do our cause in
this region rather more good, than con-
slant references to "this bogus State,
which the Free Press could not alter il
would, and which, especially if prop
efiy governed, the masses of the people
would not change if they could.

Power OF n Horses Scent.

There is one perception that horse
possesses to which but little attention
has been paid, and that is the power OF
scent. With some horses it is acute, as
with the dog; and for the benefit OF
those that have to drive at nights, such
asphysicians and others, this knowledge
is invaluable. / never knew it to fail,
and / have ridden hundreds of miles on
dark nights; and in consideration OF
this power of scent, this is my simple
advice: never check your horse at nights,
but give him free head, and you may
rest assured that he will never get of
the road, and will carry you expedi-
tiously and safe. In regard to the pow
or of scent in a horse, once knew one
of pair that was stolen, and recovered
mainly by the track being made out by
its mate, and that after he had been alb.
sent six or eight hours.
