How TO MAKE COFFEE -The American
Builder tells how to make good coffee
something which every housekeeper ought
to know--as follows. Will somebody try
it, and let us know the result: First, SOL
EMMY determine In your mind never to al
low an ounce of ground coffee to enter the
door of your kitchen. If no one about the
house understands the art of roasting COT
fee, then buy it ready roasted; and try and
find dealer who has not soaked all the es-
sential juices from the coffee lefore put
ting it in the oven. If the roasted
berry is about twice as large as
when green, depend upon it the scalawag

you cannot make good coffee or tea in a
tin vessel-and put the ground coffee in a
clean white flannel bag and be sure TO put
enough in, and drop the bag into the pot.
Pour on boiling water and let it steep; do
not boil it. The coffee will steep in twenty
minutes. Never break an egg into coffee.
and never fill up with water the second
time. Four ON in the beginning the
amount of water needed An ordinary tea
cupful of ground coffee is sufficient for
three persons. Use Java, Mocha, or Java
and kio mixed. Follow this receipt, and
you will never complain of poor coffee"
IT IS waste to overstock pastures in
which mich COWS Craze. Abundance of
grass is what cows need. They should be
able to get all they will eat without work
ing too hard for it. Five cows in plentiful
pasture will make as much butter or cheese
as ten on the same field; so that $500 in
five COWS will yield as much profit as 5000
in ten COWS, with one-half the liability to
loss by disease.

RUINED BY THE TURF. -Another wreck Of
the British nobility has stranded in the
bankruptcy court, and this time it is a pitt
ful disaster. Lord Courtenay, eldest sor
of the Earl of Devon, is the victim, and
the turf is, as usual, the cause of this ruin
For several generations the fortunes of thi:
house have been on a decline, but the pres
ent Earl, on coming into title, set 10 work

and practised great self-denial in order
to accomplish his truly noble purpose
But the wild blood of his ancestors show,
ed itself in the young man, who persisted
in a career as extravagant as his fathers
was exemplary. Time and again he was
righted and put in the way of making him
self respectable, and at last he was sent to
Parliament as means of turning his mind
to other subjects. But even that forcing.
bed for young British patricians could CT
feet nothing for him, and he has at length
become bankrupt and been forced to resign
his seat. In this way ends, not only the
hopes of noble father, but house the
most illustrious in lineage in Great Britain,
which came of the stock of the old Greek
emperors, and was allied with the Capets.

The Trade I'm IobStprs.

Boston is the great lobster market of the
East, and supplies very large home trade,
as well as an inland and Western trade,
with palatable stock for salads and other
rare dishes. The vessels are from twenty
to sixty tons burden, and each has an open
well or compartment amidships into which
the sea water is let by holes bored through
the bottom of the vessel. Into these wells
the Holsters are put as fast as they are
caught, and they are, therefore, preserved
alive-a very important consideration, as
we shall show by and by. The apparatus
used for catching a lobster is called q
trap" sometimes pot" 1t is about
four feet long, eighteen inches wide and
the same in height, the end section
looking like a ID. Altogether it bears
some resemblance to a long bird cage.
On the bottom and sides it is formed OF
narrow stats, and ON the ends is a narrow
network of stout Irvine, inclining inward,
in which is q hole about five inches in
diameter. This trap, well baited with
fresh fish, is put down by means of a rope,
it having sinkers attached, and the rope
tied to buoy. A number of these traps
are thus secured in different places upon
the lobster grounds. The vessel is anchor.
ed in a central position, and the traps are
visited at stated times by men in yawls OF
doreys, hauled up and emptied of their
prisoners, and the latter transferred to the
well of the vessel After an average fare
has been received the vessel runs into port
and discharges her living cargo into long,
floating boxes, called scars" These
cars are about twenty-five feet long,
ten wide, and four or five feet deep, and
have openings on the bottom and sides to
allow the water to pass in and out, but not
large enough to allow the smallest lobster
to escape. The cars have capacity fol
holding about twenty thousand Holsters.
Flom the cars they are taken as wanted,
and boiled ready for market They are
transferred from place to place in large
scoop nets. HOLSTERS, like other fish, mi
CRATE to deeper waters in the winter sea-
son, and are caught in from twenty to forty
fathoms, and sometimes, we hear, as deeI
as seventy fathoms. The spring trade
usually opens the first of March, though
Holsters are caught in greater or less
quantities throughout the whole of the
winter. For shipment, they are usually
boiled and barreled up, and sent of
by rail- In the winter season they vii
keep good for long time, but like all fish
will spoil in summer if not kept on ice.

Pneumatic Tube 400 MILES Long.

divided into four great crops-750 acres Of
wheat $50 of barley and oats, 750of seeds,

His live stock is valued IS follows: Sheep.
$50, 600; horses, s15, 900; bullocks, s12, 600;
pigs, $2500. The oilcake and corn pur-
chased annually amounts to $40, 600, and

tire cost of manure, in various forms used,
annually costs about $4,000 Sheep are

WATCH FOR THE BUGS Almost every
plant cultivated in our gardens is infested
with some one or more species of insect.
A constant watch is required TO keep our
enemies in check, and dry lime, ashes and
sulphur should be provided in season, and
kept where handful or more can be used
when required. We kept the asparagus
hectic in check last year by the use of lime:
and the white-pine worm was entire
ly destroyed by the free use OF
the same material. There are few
insects that can withstand an application
of caustic lime, particularly if applied
when they are wet with dew or rain. The
common gray cut-worm, which are so de-
structive to almost all kinds of vegetable
plants at this season of the year, will not
crawl over fresh lime; but the best way to
get rid of the pest is to look for and kill
them. They usually feed at night, or on
dark, cloudy days; but an early bird will
usually find the rascal taking his morn ing
meal. Young shoots of raspberry, black
berry and similar plants, are DESTROYED by
the thousands every spring by cut-worms.
and quite often the planter cannot account
for his loss.
