Counterfeit Coffee.

There are two kinds of bogus coffee,
an imitation bean and the ground article.
The bean is the most difficult to produce,
and it is only recently that actual success
in this direction has been attained. The
bogus bean must not only look like the
genuine berry when raw but it should be
capable of taking II proper color when
roasted A very good specimen is now
manufactured in Philadelphia and Tren-
ton, being composed Of rye -four, glucose
and water. The Soft paste is then
moulded and carefully dried. To the eye
of an expert the presence of this imita-
tion is easy of detection, and it cannot bo
used to any great extent among whole.
salcrs.
But when coffee goes to the retailer
adulteration begins. Sometimes the re-
taller is deceived, but nine times out Of
ten he is the one who introduces qdul-
teration. The ground article is very
easily produced, for then it is only neces-
sary to give the material proper color
and infusing an aroma by strong decor
tions of coffee essence. When mixed
with real coffee even the expert eye and
tongue may be deceived, while to the or
dinary consumer it seems to be the genu-
Inc product,
Bogus coffeegbeans have only slight
resemblance to the natural berry, for
though they possess proper form the ci-
cstrice on the inner face is too smooth.
| Then again the gray color of the raw bean
is not quite up to the mark, but when
| these manufactured beans are roasted with
five per cent. of genuine coffee they find
II ready sale. These bogus beans can be
made at a cost of $50 per 1000 pounds,
and when mixed with fifty pounds of
pure coffee the whole 1850 pounds cost
s37. 50 or three and three quarters cents
per pound, so thst,a profit of nearly 100
nper cent is The resuIt - Mem York World.

PRUNING TREES.

The growth of different varieties of
apple trees is mostly so distinct that any
rule for pruning which fits one may be
inapplicable to another. Much depends
also upon the thrift of tree. If vigor-
Gus, and making few limbs, common
sense teaches that these ought to be
headed back, to induce denser growth.
On the other hand, upthrifiy trees, as u
rule, incline to form numerous twiggy
bfancnes, ana these should be judicionsiy
thinned out, although good coat of
manure and wood ashes at the root might
answer better purpose. So, also, much
depends upon the direction of the limbs.
Varieties Of spreading habit may, be in
duced to- tak3 more compact form by
selecting an inside bud as the terminal
point when pruning; and tree with up
right formal habit should invariably be
cut to an outside bud. Pruning orchards
in their younger years is preferable: to
permitting, the branches to become
large; the drain on the tree in the latter
case is more or less Injurious Regular
annual pruning is an orchard duty

iireH.pRrcEp SEEDS.

As a rule high. priced seeds are the
cheapest, because more care has been
taken In selection of stocks to produce
them, which incurs additional expense.
There are many instances, however; where
fafmcrs are paying high prices from the
mistaken idea that they are getting
better quality for their purpose, This is
particularly true In regard to seed-pota.
toes, an article which the farmer thinks
necessary to "change" occasionally, if
not annually, because of the liability of
the "stock running out" This is
costly error that no farmer should COM
NIT. The facts in the case are, that IL
the farmer wisely selects from his own
stock for seed purposes, it will improve
rather than degenerate. Let him first
find out what varieties do best with him
and some varieties do far better in
given soil and situation than others.
From these seed potatoes should be
selected before any are sold or consumed.
Every farmer has noticed that some hills
yield more than others; that some vines
are stronger, more branching; are short
and stocky. From these the best should
be saved for seed, and the best are those
OF medium to large size, of uniform shape,
and smooth, and where there are the
most in hill Follow this practice up,
and in a few years there will be marked
improvement in the type.--4merican

FRESH BONES FOR FOWLS.

than entire meat to make fowls lay. Break

does not matter if some of the pieces are

BINDING A LoAp or uAx

II hay or straw is to be drawn any dis
tance over hard roads, it is important to
bind it firmly. A windlass or tackle
fastened to the wagon rack will make this
binding much more easy, and also secure
n firmer pressure on the binder than could
otherwise be had. Unless firmly pressed
down, the binder, when iolted over rough

OG-HOUSES.


There are so many different plans OF
hog houses that any one which is pre-.
sented to farmers who wish to build, is
sure to find some one who thinks it Just
meets his wants. The writer saw a house
built something like the one described in
this article years ago, and for economy
of space and general usefulness it is sell
dom improved upon.
1t is not necessary, and indeed is often
improbable, to construct large, expen-
sivc houses. A dry, warm shelter ,fof
winter, and cool retreat for s]rsnnfer is
all that is needed.
This house is twenty feet wide by
twenty five feet long, making room for
eight pens s4 feet wide by eight feet
in length ef four pens twelve by eight,
making aisleeping- pen and feeding pen
adjoining. The sides are but four feet
above the floor, the centre-posts eight
feet high, and placed eight feet apart.
Under the upper roof are small windows
which admit light and air directly into
the pens. The partitions are movable,
like o eates, and can be all taken out after
the spring breeding season Is over, giving
good, large feeding floor for little pigs.
Fac pen has a six-foot panel for its
frcnt, which can be opened directly
across the alley to guide one of the brood
COWS into the pen designed for it.
The yards outside extend beyond the
ends of the building sixteen feet high, so
las to give all the room possible for exer-
else. The doors into these yards arc
situated at each end, and for the two
middle pens are placed one on each side
Of lfhe middle.
When fall comes the wide center can
bc converted into corn crib, holding at
least five hundred bushels Of corn enough

Is supposed to accommodate. One hun

. Wind proof in March, so DE sheeting and
drop p-siding for the outside, and make
the roof warm also.g The large doors at
each end remain closed most of the time.
A small door on the north and double
.door on the south furnish access for feed
ing and care. Water is pumped into
the milk tank and conducted into the
hog house IN pipes, into tank which
remains full, being governed by float
valve. This makes feeding quite easy.
The oats, shelled corn and meal for feed
is stored in granary near by, so no pro-
vision is made for room for such feed
