New Drinks for the Harvest Field.

Prairie Farmer.
The temperance advocates in Great
Britain made vigorous attack upon
the beer drinkers last year. Part of
them gave special attention to beer
drinking among farm laborers and far
mers. They often met with strong OPP
position. Mr.. j. Abbey, of Oxford,
was one day telling an audience how
much more labor can be performed by
non-beer drinkers than by men supplied
with daily rations of beer, when
drinker of the beverage challenged the
speaker to pitch wheat with him. Mr..
Abbey promptly accepted the chal-
lenge, and as promptly pitched the
man "clean out of time" creating a
great sensation and deing much good
for the cause he advocated. Mr..
Abbey in a late lecture on the the
Clearing of Intemperance upon Ag-
riculture," proposed couple Of substi-
tutes, recommending them as the best
drinks that can be used in hard work,
as they are, in fact, both food and
drink. He called them "Stokos" and
"Cokos," the first costing about 6 cents

straightway went to my kitchen and
tested it with the most gratifying re-
suits. The formula is extremely sim

all housekeepers, l think, and no other
way will suit them when they once
have tried this way. Take of un~
ground coffee the usual quantity which
supplies your family, and break the
beans in mortar. This you find to
be quite as easy task as grinding
in the usual way, as the beans are brit

fire a kettle of perfectly fresh water,
and let it boil. This is quite an essen
tial feature. Put the coffee in boil
