COFFEE BY THE FRENCH.
Their Women Understand Well the Art of
Making 1t.

Making les
There are at least two things which
the French understand better than the
English, coffee and salads. In En-.
gland the coffee berries are as good as
those that are bought in France at
double or three times the price, but the
beverage that is made from them is al
most invariably bad, in hotels no less
than in private houses. French Wis
itors have explained again and again
the reason of this inferiority, but to no
purpose; for John Bull, difficult as he
is to please over his tea, is indifferent
on the subject of coffee, and will go
through life serenely and unconscious
of the fine aroma and flavor that may
be extracted from the yellowish green
berry if proper attention is given to the
matter.
The main rules are these: The ber-
ries should be freshly roasted and
should never be put into the mill until
the coffee is about to be made. To buy
coffee already ground is indefensible.
Surprising it to be pure when retailed
by grocers in that state, it has gener-
ally lost much of its aroma, which is
exceedingly volatile. Now, the aroma
Is to coffee what the bouquet is to Bor
deaux Burgundy, that is to say, almost
everything. However generous a
wine may be, if it has no fine bouquet
it is merely vim ordinaire-good enough
for common use, but not to be offered
to friend at dessert.
When it has lost its aroma coffee is
almost worthless. chicory being then
quite as good, if not preferable. But
when its essential perfume rises pow
erfully with the steam of a freshly
poured out cup it is one of the best and
most delicate of natures little atten-
tons to mankind. In all French kitch-
ems the coffee-min is regarded as one
of the most indispensable of utensils;
and although people living in large
towns generally buy their coffee ready
roasted, in country houses the roasting
is done at home-a very simple and ex-
cellent continuance being sold for the
purpose.
But it is of little use to talk of cof-
fee to people who only drink it when
mixed with milk. 1t is only so en-
ployed by the French at their early
breakfast, when, in their opinion, the
addition of chicory improves it; but
those who have the proper respect for
the refnements of life think it rank
heresy to use ever so little of the bit
ter root in making cafe noir. The En-
glish will never understand the art of
making coffee until they learn to APP
preciate the true flavor and virtue of
the berry when served in the form of
cafe noir after lunch or dinner. The
habit, however, is not worth cultivat-
ing when it is done parsimoniously.
To obtain good result there should
be much coffee and little water. 1t is
not the quantity, but the quality of
the liquor that is to be thought of. In.
asmuch, as there is nothing like black
coffee-unless it be strong tea-to whip
up the nerves, it should be used with
caution, or not at all, by the ever-in-
creasing number of people who are
more or less nervous.-Philadelphia

There isn't a gun manufacturers In the

After leaving there he refused tempting

New Haven, at salary of $3.50 year.
It was after this long term OF active labor
as business man that he found himself IN

barge which rheumatism had laid upon him
and resigned his position more than two
years ago, and returned to Belchertown,
Mass, where he now lives and owns the
Phelps farm, a retired spot where he has
five hundred acres of land.
Being man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading physi-
clans and by baths at celebrated springs
without receiving any benefit worth notice.

A Northern Granger Looks Into the Future
OF the South.
1t needs no prophetic vision on the
part of the careful observer to see
plainly that the seat of the greatest
progress made by the people of the
United States will be in what is
termed the southern states. This will
be brought about by the subdivisions
of the great plantations of the south
into small farms where intensive, in
stead of extensive farming will be the
rule. Intensive farming can be fol-
lowed only in a country where climatic
conditions are such as to permit the
raising of fruits and vegetables in the
highest state of perfection, and it is
beyond question that the southern
states enjoy this climatic advantage.
To-day all the great lines of rail-
way of the northern states are seeking
southern connection. Reports of the
railway companies show that 10 is only
those that have such connections that
are able to report an increase of earn
ings. With the facilities that these
new lines of railway will afford the
southern farmer, they will be enabled
to furnish the great cities of the
northwest with fruits and vegetables
fresh from their orchards and gardens
at remunerative prices
There are also two other lines of
farming i'm which the southern farmer
has proven that he can successfully
compete with his northern rival, viz:

The Most Valuable Means of Conservin
Farm Manures.

The Most Valuable Means of CONSERVING
Farm Manures.
Farm made manures are best pre-.
pared for effective use by composing,
that is, by thorough rotting process
well known to the practical farmer.
To prevent the loss of ammonia as the
manure is being accumulated, gypsum
is sprinkled over the weddings in the
stables, and it is also mingled with
the manure heap as well. The princi-
pie is that the gypsum (sulphate of
lime) gives up its sulphuric acid to
the ammonia, thus forming sulphate of
ammonia, which is stable and suf-
fers little loss. If such provision
were not made the ammonia
would suffer much loss from volatiza.
ton. There is one disadvantage in
the use of gypsum in this way: The
phosphates in the manure are apt to
take very insoluble and unavailab BILE
forms. The carbonate of lime formed
by the decomposition of the gypsum
reacts with any soluble phosphate
present with the formation of tri-cal.
cium phosphate-practica the same
thing as untreated South Carolina rock
phosphate.
A better method of treating COM
posts, and manure generally, would be
to use low grade sulplate of potash. OF
kainit, in the place of gyprum. The
ammonia would be preserved equally
well, and the agricultural value of the
phosphates suffer no loss. In fact
the phosphates would have a better
| form than before If there was anu
material difference. Phosphate OF
potash is perhaps the best possible
form of these minerals for agricultur
purposes, and such reaction as could
occur with the use of potash salts must
take this form. But this is not the
only advantages; farm manures arc
universally deficient in potash as com.
pared with ammonia, not only in bal.
ancing the ingredients, but also in
holding its potash and phosphoric acid
