Attentive examination has proved

In b roasting of coffee DR.. o.
Bornheimer finds three principal prod
ucts-solid fatty acids, caffeine, and
c%affeol, a heavy oil which turns yellow
after having been exposed to the air,
and which is the vehicle of the peculiar
aroma of coffee.
Japanese cement is made by mixing
powdered rice with a little cold water,
and then gradually adding boiling
water until the desired consistency is
acquired, care being taken to keep it
stirred. Lastly, boil for one minute in
q clean saucepan. This cement is very
strong and nearly colorless.
The principal vegetable substances
used in the adulteration of coffee are
chicory, beet-root, carrot, figs, corn,
malt, etc. A simple method Of testing
coffee for q mixture of chicory is to
shake it with water. If pure it remains
floating for an hour together, whereas
chicory sinks.

ODDITIES.

Agsssiz once had an opportunity TO
carefully measure a large jelly fish q il
lay at the surface OF the sea. Its disk
was seven feet in diameter and its ten
tacles 112 feet long.
The house-spider's web will last for
many weeks, while the garden-spider
must spin afresh or mend his web every
twenty-four hours. The former some
times lives from six to eight years.
In various parts Of Ireland, Scotland
and Wales are remains Of beehive
shaped huts, underneath which are
chambered burial places. These huts
are of great antiquity.
About the year 400 OF our era died
Simon Stylites, a Syrian, who had lived
in self-imposed martyrdom for thirty
years on the top Of a granite column
thirty or forty feet high.
"Boot stretcher to the royal family"
is a decidedly rare title, yet there still
lives at Baden an old man who for many
years filed this office to the father Of
the present Austrian emperor. His only
duty was to wear the archduke's new
boots until they were sufficiently easy
for his royal master, and the old re-
tainer now enjoys comfortable pension
for his services.
A close observer claims to have dis
proved the story about an owl wringing
its head off by looking at q man who
was walking around il. He writes that
he placed an owl on a post, and began
to walk rapidly around it. The large
round eyes followed him through three
circles, and he began to wonder why
the head didn't drop off, when he dis
covered that the neck had q fy-back
motion which, when the head had been
turned half way round, whisked it back
through the circle, and brought the
gaze again on him with such precision
and SO quickly hat the movement had
three times escaped his notice.
A wild goose Joined the flock of o
farmer of London, Canada, but only ap-
peared at meal times. After satisfying
its appetite it was noticed to pick up an
ear of corn and fly away. After circling
about it dropped apparently into the
river. It was discovered hal it car
ried the corn to a sick and disabled
companion that could neither walk nor
fly. Finally the visits ceased, but shortly
afterward the sick gander wandered
into the camp and gobbled up the corn
itself. He remained all winter, and the
indications are that he has made up his
mind to settle down and go to house
keeping.

What Breed Of Pigs 20 Raise.

1t is impossible to answer the oues-
tion, (Which is the most profitable
breed Of pigs to raise?" Very much
depends upon the system of manage
ment, nearness to market, individual
taste or fancy, etc. But there are some
general facts which should be under
stood in deciding what kind of pig to
grow IN any particular case. Pig farm
ing may be profitable or O source OF
loss. A few pigs of almost any breed
can be grown on a dairy farm with profit,
but when the number is increased the
plggery may become an expense. It is
clearly determined by a long experience
that pig pork is the pork that pays.
Young hogs marketed when q year old
are much more profitable than older
ones. This being true-and il is
especially &c in the older States-a
breed should be selected that natures
early and fattens quickly. The best
pig has the least amount OF offal in
dressing; is compact in its parts. and
its flesh is of the very best quality, OF
such are the Essex and Suffolk. and
some other allied "sman Breeds" One
can !" go further and fare worse" than
to select the Essex for the piggery
that is to make profitable returns.
There is some prejudice against black
pigs, but it should be remembered that
the color is less than skin deep, and the
blacklist pig makes as white dressed
pork as any other. There is money in
pigs il o good BREED is chosen and
properly managed. The valus Of full
blooded pigs over the "grade" il
strikingly shown when q pair OF the
former Is taken into q neighborhood
where only the "common hog" was
before. In a few years the whole coun.
try round about hiss had its swine i'm.
proved, and It's pork interests greatly
enhanced. Grow young pigs rapidly
and market them as pigs rather than
keep them until they aye old hogs Pig
pork pays.

result of a large quantity of food con
sumed, for thai COW cannot create milk
out Of nothing. She is not a miracle
worker. But does il follow that o large
product Of milk costs more in proper
ton to quantity than a medium yield?
Now, the cow must be supported be-
fore she gives any milk. After this
food Of support all the food she con-
sumes must 60 to the production Of
milk or flesh, and il the COW is q good
mixer it all goes to milk--in other
words, after the food of support, the ex-
ira food all goes to proft-that is, either
to milk OF flesh. And it is equally clear
that all the food consumed to support
the system of the animal is lost until
the point Of production is reached.
After the producing point is reached
the more the animal q eat, properly
digest and assimilate above this, the
greater the profit. So, if you desire to
produce milk at the least cost, you
must select COWS with the capacity to
turn the largest amount Of food into
milk-the larger the amount the more
cheaply will the milk be produced. OF
course the best COW is the one that can
digest and assilnilate the most food and
turn the extra food into milk, instead of
laying on flesh and fat. 1t is the bust
ness of y skillful dairyman to select such
COWS, and then make full use of their
machinery to secrete milk by full feed
