Plants and Coffee Grounds.

The way plants thrive on the dregs of
coffee left at breakfast is admirable, says
VickS Magosine. Bowker itself hardly
turns out stronger LEAKAGE or such thick
bloom. TIE grounds are good mulch on
the top of the soil, but little care must be
given not to let them sour and ge5 musty in
coolish, damp weather. The great trouble
with house plants, greater than errors in
watering, is letting the pots be exposed to
the sun. The fbrous roots soon grow to the
side Of the pot, and these are baked in full
sunshine, trebly hot coming through glass,
which condenses its rays. The root tips are
soon killed. The whole ball of earth is
baked over ard over daily, and yet people
wonder why they don't succeed with house
plants Shade the sides of the pots always,
either by plunging in box Of sand, moss,
cocoa fiber or ashes, or place thin board
on edge across the front of the plant shelf,
that will come almost to the top of the pots.
A good way to screen them is to seat each
pot in one two sizes or more larger, filling
the space with moss or sand. The best
gardeners say that the porous common pots
are not SO good for house plants as those
glazed or painted outside. The reason is
that evaporation is constant from the por-
Gus pots, and the roots are not only drier
but colder for it,

Preserving Harness.

The american Harness Journal SAYS:
To preserve harness in its best condition,
take neatsfoot oil and ivory or patent black
the latter to be well pulverized before using
and mix thoroughly, adding the black until
the oil Is we'll colored, or quite black. In
cool weather the oil should be warmed lit
tie before mixing. Apply with a sponge
only as much of the mixture as the leather
will readily absorb, when the harness is
dry-the same having been first well
washed with soapsuds made of a good
quality of CASTLE soap-it taking from two
hours to e whole day for 1t to dry, accord
ing to the state Of the weather and previous
condition of the leather. In making the
suds use nothing but the soap and cold rain
water-warm water should never be used
on harness leather. After applying the
suds with a sponge, rub the harness with a
piece of buckskin until well dry. This will
not only give it a nice, glossy look, but have
such an effect upon the leather as to keep it
phable for months. If, in the meantime. it
should be soled with mud or sweat. all that
is necessary will be to give it another appli
cation of the soapsuds without any addi-
tional oiling.
Two applications of the above mixture
will be sufficient for year, or one every
six months, to keep harness, as ordinarily
used, in constant good order. and pay ten
times over the cost in the extra service and
durability of the harness, to say nothing of
its improved appearance. We are assured
that this mode of treatment is also just the
thing for carriage tops that are made of
leather, the only difference being that the
top leather being thinner, a lighter coating
may be applied and the same washed off
before drying it. OF course, the mixture
would not be suitable for enameled leather,
Of which the tops of many carriages are

teas at the same time this Florida tea is
very good indeed, and as a matter of taste,
we like its flavor better than the far-famed
English breakfast tea, although this home
grown tea is merely dried, and lacks the
extensive manipulations of the imported
article, as we'll as tho scent" which,
doubtless, the majority of tea drinkers at
tribute directly to the tea itself, while its
pleasant aroma is really due to dried flow
ers packed with it, such as orange blossoms
and jessamines.
The China teas are rolled and handled,
and dried, and rolled and unrolled and
dried again, to such an extent that equal
manipulations Of the leaf would be impos-
sible in this country or any other except
China, in commercial point of view. 1t
can be afforded there because labor can be
had at from to 10 cents day.
At the same time, as tie tea leaves, with
out these or some other similar manipula-
tions, cannot be made to acquire the pecu-
liar tea taste" we are familiar with in the
imported article, it follows that, sooner or
later, when our people rouse up to the
knowledge that tea culture Is well suited to
several of our southern states, as far north
as South Carolina, machinery will be de-
vised to take the place Of hand manipula-

The Coffee Pot.

It seems a very simple thing, says the
Ladies' Home Companion, 20 make good
coffee, and yet in nc. one thing'do as many
housekeepers fail; the coffee pot, however,
is largely responsible for the failure. Many
housekeepers who have servants think the
cook will not fail to attend to tho cleaning
of the coffee pot, while others who do their
own work attach no Importance to the mat
ter, and allow the grounds and cold coffee
to stand in it for several days without emp
tying and at the same time wonder why
they never have good coffee, notwithstand-
ing the best article is bought well parched
and carefully made.
To have the beverage perfect, it is neces-
sary that great attention be given the cof-
fee pot. 1t should be emptied after each
meal, we'll washed inside and outside in
clean, hot soapsuds, then rinsed in boiling
water first and then in cold water, after
which it should be well dried and set in the
sun. Occasionally (oncea week. it is well to
put tablespoonful of soda in the coffee
pot, fill with boiling water and set on the
stove. This cleanses and purifes it, This
attention to what may seem very small
matter is of tho utmost importance to the
housekeeper, and will be found well worth
the slight extra trouble by all who try it.
After a good article Of coffee, nothing,
then, is so important, in order to have good
coffee, as a clean coffee pot.

Tie Right Feed for Colts.

Prof. Sanborn of the Missouri Agricult-
ural college, in the following paragraphs,
gives some good suggestions as to the feed
ing of colts:
1t may be assumed, in the absence of an
alysis of the entire horse, that it contains
less fat than any other farm animal, and its
growth is, therefore, the growth of muscle,
and is that of no other domestic animal,
Experience teaches us that fattening foods
are misplaced when fed to a
growing colt. All young animals
that l have fed have shown ex-
perimentally the marked necessity of easily
digestible foods. Let the colt, when he first
comes to hay, have selections of clover and
the best fine hay, ground oats or ground
pease or barley meal, to which add mere
mite of oil meal and carrots. Skim milk
may well be added, which will give very
heterogeneous diet.
The analysis of mares shows a greater
ratio of albuminoids to carbohydrates than
does cows milk, which is conclusive as to
colts diet when young. Don't pinch"
your colts. Feed literally. The colt may
be pushed forward as rapidly as the steer.
This growth, if not that of fat, as it need
not be, need not give spiritless or effemi-
nate colt yet would not press the point of
early maturity as / would that of the steer,
for the body may outstrip the acquisition of
matured powers. If for sale, and moral
tissues out, the most money will come from
quick growth and early sale. 1t may prop
erly be noted that tests by Boussingault
and Stewart allow that pound Of colt is
made with as little fodder as a pound of
steer.
The second winter, straw may be fed
with Glow er and hay. The skim milk may
be omitted, while a little cornmeal may be
added if grown in excess on the farm, but
must confess to the distaSte for corn for
growing colts. A French Investigator, by
an elaborate test, found that oats were
especially good horse food By an electri-
cal apparatus he found an excitable princi-
pie in oats that he called nervine, and that
crushed oats were more active and not so
enduring as are whole oats. Oats are, by
practical men, understood to favor speed
and endurance in the horse as other foods do

makes all the cotton he can for a cash crop,
