Good Cup of Coffee.


There is nothing more delicious than a
good cup Of coffee, Ye. how few house
keepers can make this beverage IN the best
way. There is no excuse, OF course, for this
failure but that of ignorance, which is but
a poor plea, considering that it can always
be mended. Every housekeeper should
acquaint herself with the special qualities
OF the different kinds of coffee, and the pro-
cess by which good coffee can be made from
Miss Parlos, an authority on coffee-mak-
ing, gives the following classification of the
qualities Of cOffees: There are two kinds
OF cofse-the strong and the mild. To the
first class belong the Rio and the Santas;
and to the second, the Java, Mocha, Mara
caibo, and, indeed, almost all the other
kinds. When rich, smooth beverage is
desired, a combination OF Mocha and Java
or some coffee that has the qualities OF
Jsvs-should be used; but when a strong
flavor is liked, Rio or Santas should be
taken. The supply Of Java meets only
about one-ffth of the demand. For
this reason many other mild cof-
fees are sold under the name
Of Java Good Marscaibo is equal to
Java, and is constantly sold under that
name. A combination of one pound Mo-
cha, one pound Bio, and two pounds Java
or Msracaibo will give rich, stro ng-h Avor-
ed drink, but not so smooth as if the Rio
we're omitted. When buying the berry,
pause for a moment to think how you like
your beverage. Do you want it smooth
snd of delicate flavor? Take one-third
Mocha and ths rest Java or Msracaibo. Do
you went it suong2 Use all Rio, or temper
thst brand by com binirg it with some one
Of the mild kinds"
To make good coffee, not only should
the ground coffee be measured carefully,
but the water should be measured also. 1t
is not enough to put one cupful only, or
six table-spoonsfuls of coffee in your coffee
pot, and then to pour in water ad libitum.
The water should be measured also, quart
of water TO a cupful, for boiling, aud gill
of cold water added later to make it all
house-keeper can always, by OBJ
| serving these rules, have coffee of
uniform strength and richness. There
are many ways of making good coffee. 1t
| can be filtered with cold water or hot, or it
can be boiled by being stepped first in cold
water, or having the boiling water poured
on it. This last named is the plan most
commonly used, producing drink less
smooth than the filtered coffee, but with
more distinctive coffee flavor. Coffee,
therefore, carefully made by the following
rule will always be good, if q good berry
has eeen procured: Heat one cupful OF
| coffee, ground rather coarse. Put it into q
coffee pot and add an egg. Stir well and
add quart of boiling water. Place over
the FIRE, and stir until the coffee boils up.
Now stir the coffee and egg down, and then
shut down the cover and set the pot where
its contents will only simmer during the
next five minutes. At the end of that
time add gill OF cold water. Let the cot
fee stand at the side of the stove for three
or four minutes; then strain into hot poi
and serve at once.

plesirom the shell or exposed mass, wrap
each in paper and replace them. Count
out fifty more, the same ia condition, and
place them aside exposed. Next spring
count the number OF decayed ones in each
lot, and see how each has Jared.
2. Count out and place fifty equal speci-
mems each, in boxes of suitable size packed
in fine shavings, fine chopped oat straw,
bookbinder's chips, coarse and fine chat,
bran, sifted coal ashes and plaster; put
them into q cool but not freezing apart

upon them, and examine their condition
in spring or summer.

Value of Bran Uuon the Farm.

Professor Brown, of the Ontario Agricul-
tuIal College, at Guelph, Canada, recently
summed up the usefulness of bran to
farmers, after having carefully considered
its chemical competition.
l. Bran is concentrated food, which,
though variable in composition, possesses
high nutritive value.
Roller process bran is, on the average
richer than the old process bran.
3. Its excess of ash or mineral matters
eminently fits it for bone building in
growing animals, and for pplementfhg
the LACK of mineral matters in roots.
l. Its chemical compos ition points to
the conclusion that 1t ID somewhat better
adopted to the formation OF fat and pro-
duction OF heat than to the formation of
muscle or milk.
4. Both its chemical composition and
its physical form adapt it admirably
as a supplementary food to be ased in con-
nection with poor and bulky fodder, such
az straw and roots.
6. Its manurial or fertilizIng value alone
repays its cost.
Z. BY retaining and feeding the bran
upon the farm the objection to selling the
grain is partly overcome, viz, the exnaus-
ton of the soil, since the bran retains most
of the mineral matters which cannot be
derived from the air.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-01-04

and the argument is used that 1t disturbs
the soil and takes out the grass and weeds;
again, tina: this can be done with perfect
safety and without injury to the future
crop.
Now let us take corn, for instance. 1t is
said that this should be often narrowed,
and that ii may be done without injury
until the COIN is at least six incheshigh. To
stir the soil often is so important a matter
as TO admit of no doubt. Equally impor-
tant is it to remove the grass and weeds,
but is a harrow the implement with which
to perform this work.
II il be said that to harrow q field of
young corn or grain will iDju it some
and benefit it more, and upon the whole
the benefit would outweigh the injury,
this would be proposition which, while
open to controversy, would be entirely diff
ferent from the one laid down as good hus-
bandry. 1t would seem as though grass or
weeds, with their numerous roots, must
adhere to the soil as firmly as young corn
with its one root, or at most its very few
roots. If so, whence comes all that nice
| discrimination on the part of the harrow
| tooth to destroy the one and do no injury to
the other? Will not blow from harrow
| tooth do as much violence to the tender
| blade as would blow from hoe or club
or a falling Maidstone? To be sure, 1t is
sdlO IDe teeth OI tue uhIIOW uuSL Uo slhut-
ing. On the other hand, If the teeth are
sufficiently slanting to disturb moth
| ing, then the work is useless. Again, If
the teeth are sufficiently upright to sffsct
| tine grass and weeds in any manner, how
can they run over the field without affect
ing the corn in like manner When in the
parable the servants of the household in
stinctively asked permission to go forth and
gather up the tares. the answer was, NAY,
lest while ye gather up the tares ye root up
also the wheat with them" 1t may be
said that the Testament is not an authority
upon agriculture, yet it is q book which we
reverence and believe, and l submit that
the direction therein gwen is much more
sensible than that of the late uninspired
writers upon the same subject.

The Farmer and the Boys.


Jim Panton.
When Farmer Fortune comes to town
ridin' in his sleigh,
With bells upon the sorrel horse
And bells upon the gray,
He doesn't know, the farmer don't
That every hoof is charmed;
That every step is eloquent,
And every bell alarmed.
he doesn't know, the farmer don't,
They'r fallin' into rhyme;
A useful life, blessed life,
Is rung in every chime.
But what he knows the horses know,
A comm into town,
That every boy as hears the bells
Will come a whoopin' down,
For boy can't run without whoop,
Nor whoOp without a run,
And why he does at cut behind,
The farmer likes the fun.
A fine old-fashIoned democrat
AS you would wish to see.
A merry man the farmer is
A merry man is he.
VINO says pursuit of happiness
Is not alone for man,
But any boy may ride with him
Whenever that he can.
So down they come, score or more, where only
one may ride,
And all the rest win envy him when he is
safely tied.
AS alus was, and alus is,
And alus will be so
Where boys and bells and horses meet
And altogether 90.
Aud, o, the sOrrel and the gray
As cute as they can be,
They seem to be a-joggln Just
To keep the bells sgee.
But when they take the bit in mouth
To leave the boys behind,
They dance away, and prance away,
AS freely as the wind.
When half the boys in town will be
A-rOllin' in the ditch,
Some lucky fellow, waitin' on
Before, VIII get the hitch
And the Standardization of
The bells would seem to say:
Oh, merry Is the farmers life,

Corn Stalks.
Mirror and Farmer.

We have often referred TO the great waste
accustomed on some farms by feeding corn
fodder in such quantity that the cattle
would only pick of the leaves. On a re-.
cent visit to a section of Maine where
sweet corn is grown for the packing shops
the writer saw good illustration of the
NO methods of feeding. Two barns were
visited where fodder from the same kind
Oh corn was being used. The corn was q
large late variety, and the stalks so Juicy
that the small ears grew and filed out after
1t was cut up and put in the barn. Zone
OF the men said, and his word is good any
where that be had as good mess of boiled
corn November 20 as he ever had, from
ears that were not full when he put the
fodder in the barn before FROSTY. In one of
these barns the sweet, green, juicy corn
stalks were six inches deep along the barn
moor, where they had been taken out of the
managers, and about a cord OF them piled
up to get them out of the way. In the
other barn, where thessame breed of cattle
were being fed with precisely the same
kind OF fodder, we asked the man il be
had any trouble in making his cattle eat
the stalks, and he said: mo, they don't
leave as many as / want for the pigs
Cattle and swine would eat them as greed.
ily as they would potatoes. The secret rs,
do not feed TOO often or too much at
time.
