Baron Llebig'S Method of Making
Coffee.

The usual method of preparing coffee
are, first, by glrdtioa; second, by ilfn-
sion; third, by boiling,
FILTRATION gives often, but not always,
a good cup of coffee. When the pouring
the boiling water o7er the ground coffee
is done slowly, the drops in passing
come in contact with too. much air,
whose oxygen works a change in the
aromatic particles, aud often DESTROYS
them entirely. The extraction, more
over, is incomplete. Instead of 70 to Il
per cent, the water diSsolves only II TO
10 per cent, and Z to 10 per cent. is lost.
INFUSION is accomplished by making
the water boil, and then putting it in the
ground coffee; the vessel being immcdi-
ately taken off the fire and allowed to
stand quietly for about ten minutes.
The coffee is ready Tor use when the
powder swimming on the surface falls to
the bottom OH slightly stir ing it. This
method gives Il very ir0matic coffee, but
one containing little extract.
Boiling as is the custom in the East,
yields excellent coffee. The powder is
put on the fire in cold water, which is
allowed merely to boil up a few seconds.
The fine particles of coffee are drunk
with the beverage. Ii boiled long, the
aromatic parts are Yolatilizcd, and the
coffee is then rich in extract, but poor
in aroma.
As the best method, | adopt the follow
ing, which is Il union OF the second and
third;
with three fOurths Of the coffee TO be

covered over, and allowed to stand for

In the Western States there is little

give the ounce good cultivation as

be a yearly application ofrottcn chips,

be sparingly done, cutting out only

English Farm Teams.

There arc different views hold by
American farmers as to the desirable.
ity, or otherwise, for heavy draft
teams for farm uses. The testimony
which comes to lis, favors heavy hor.
scs as the more economical. In this
view of the case we coincide. Farm.
ers would do better blowing, and all
farm work better with less Wear and
tear, in proportion to the expense, we
think, If farm horses were bred and
built for draft horses if they have
weight as well as muscle. The Eng.
fish draft horscs-Clydcsdalean and Suf.
folk, and the French Percheron, arc
classes we are glad TO sec introduced
mere. The extended experience Of
English and French farmers and thcil
attachment to the classes of horses
ought TO have weight with our farm.
crs. There is no good reason why
men should have to care for three
horses, provide harness, &C., when
two will do the same work with quite
as great ease and more comfort than
those who manage them. And as tc
the relative cost of keep, we cannot
believe that the balance will be in fl.
yor CT three horses and against two
that will do the same work. All this
however, is a matter whichexperiencC
alone can determine. As we have
said above, the balance of testin,on,
iavors horses of greater wcight-nol

strength, as many Of Our American
mongrels do, but horses that arc bred

WHY CATTLE AND OTHER SrocK
DIE TOWARD SpRNG.-When the
stock is not regularly fed, and the
supply of respiratory food is deficient,
nature availed herself of the fat pre-
viously stored in the animals body,
as fuel to sustain the animal heat,
and where the food is deficient and
there is no accumulation of fat to sup
ply its place, the muscle and other
portions of the body are consumed,
and death by gradual starvation is
the consequence. Farmers, keep your
stock well fed if you do not want to
sustain losses toward spring.-Fam

HARDEN THE NECKs OF Your TEAMS.
Some horses have tender skin, and
the harness will sometimes gall them
cruelty, in defiance of all means to
prevent it. But, many times, the true
cause is attributable to u bad collar,
bad harness, or to a good harness I'M
properly fitted to the animal. a yoke
OF bows that do not fit the oxen well
will often gall them, and unfit them
for labor, when if these things were
as they ought to be, they would work
with far more ease, and lheir skin
would not be CALLED. When a harness
or yoke of bows do not fit properly,
and their skin is liable TO be CALLED,
battle those parts before they are
CALLED with cold water until the out
side skin appears quite soft, and then
batho those parts with Il strong decoc-
ton of white oak bark. Let this be
done every day, and the skin will soon
become much harder and tougher than
it usually is. A little care in pre-
venting an i'll, is far better than much
labor and skill in curing it, or in en-
dcayoring to obviatc its injurious eff
fCcts.-- Working Farmer.

CARE OF HORSES LEGS.-FCw men
who handle horses give proper atten-
ton to the feet and legs. Especially
is this the case on the farms. Much
time is spent of a morning rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on
the sides and hips, but at no time are
the feet properly cared for. Now he
it known, that in this six thousand
year old world of ours the feet of a
horse needs more care than the body.
They need ten times as much-tOr in
one respect they are almost the entire
horse. All the grooming that can be
done won't avail anything, ifthe horse
is forced to stand where his feet will
be filthy. In this case the feet will
become disordered, and then the legs
will get badly out of fix, and with bad
feet and bad legs there is not much
else of the horse fit for anything.
Stable prisons generally, are terribly
severe on the feet and legs of horses,
and unless these buildings, can afford
a dry room, where a horse can walk
around, lie down or roll over, they
are not half so healthy and comforta-
bic to the horse rs the pasture, and
should be avoided by all good hostlers
in this country.

CINCINNATI, June 27.-The New Orleans
fire department excursionists reached this
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. After hav-
ing spent some time in getting their
engine and ladders arranged, about three
O'Clock they were received at the depot by
the Common Council, Captain McGrue,
chief of the Cincinnati fire department, and
committee Of two from each fire company
in the city, preceded by the zousve Bat.
They were escorted through Sixth street,
Central avenue, Fourth and Walnut streets,
and through Sixth street to the headquar-
ters of the fire department.
The New Orleans companies, with their
fine personal appearance and handsome
engine, loaded with silver plate received in
successful competition with other COM
panies, and their complete ladders and car
rage, attracted much attention. At head
quarters fine collation. was awaiting the
guests. The welcome address was made BY
Hon. G. w. Davis, president of the Board
of Aldermen. He mentioned the hospitality
the Cincinnati delegates had received at the
Commercial Convention in New Orleans:
He alluded to the noble qualities that moved
men to become volunteer firemen. and gave
them hearty welcome TO the Queen City.
In response Captain Diamond, Of the Me-
chsnics, spoke OF the motives that prompted
them to make the tour they were now en-
joyiDg; thanked the authorities for the re-
ception received, and offered the health and
prosperity of the fire department of Cincin-
natl.
The fremen were specially welcomed by
Chief Engineer McGrue, of Cincinnati, and
remarks followed by Billy Glass, Of the city
council of Cincinnati; N. Carroll, A. A.
Stone and Major Tracy, of New Orleans.
The City Council Of Covington, Messrs.
VanSeggern and Latta. of Cincinnati, also
made brief speeches Of welcome. New

which the procession formed end marched

Hurricane on the River.
vo Jaorn fhia From the Hen1. Ti0hf.

About half-past two O'Clock Friday after
noon, and when the steamer Richmond was
near Island sixty.nine, violent storm of
wind and rain, accompanied by roars OF
thunder, sprung up, and for short period
was of very violent character. The shore
on either side, for several minutes, was hid
from view, while the wind howled with the
characteristics of hurricane. The boat
faced the angry elements with a defiant air,
and rode as proudly and safely on the
troubled waters as on calm midsummer's
day. Had she been smaller and lighter
craft, it is probable she would have sus-
tanned the loss Of her chimneys and a por-
ton of her cabin, for much less wind often
carries away those useful appendages. The
rain continued for several hours, but the
violent wind that accompanied it at first was
of short duration.
The Thompson Dean, which arrived here
Sunday noon, from St. Louis, encountered
the same hurricane, but sustained no
damapa
