Coffee Drinking and Health.

Modern science is directing its
searchight into many dark places
and dispelling errors which held our
forefathers in thrall. One by one
these popular misapprehensions
wither up beneath the rays of medi.
cal enlightenment and scientific
progress, and in their place come
wider wisdom and increased knowl-
edge of the good things that have
so literally been bestowed for our
use and benefit.
Take, for example, coffee, one Of
Natures kindliest gifts to man, but
which has been misunderstood and
maligned by smatterers in science,
who entirely overlooked it's rare
therapeutic value and the conse-
quent physiological benefits follow
ing its use. Contrary to the mis-
taken notions too frequently ex-
pressed by the unknowing and
copied into newspapers, without
regard to their trustworthiness, it is
a fact, based upon scientific demon
stration, that good coffee possesses
great value as nutriment, in addi-
tion to it's mildly stimulating
qualities, which materially assist
digestion.
The writer believes that the best
coffee, for illustration, Banquet"
Java Coffee, has a food value second
to no other single article in the
menu, and this view is supported by
the testimony of representative
medical men, to whom inquiries
were put. Whilst coffee is not only
a welcome, but likewise beneficial
addition to the household bill Of
fare, it should be borne in mind
that there is a wide variance in
quality in the different brands offer
ed in the market. Sometimes care
less roasting, or, failure to properly
prepare the berry, or inattention to
the requirements of a perfectly
roasted coffee, result in product
whose value is doubtful, hence the
maxim, 'the best only is good
enough" should be rigidly applied
by every prudent purchaser. For
instance, no mistake can be made in
selecting best Java or Hawaiian
coffee, as it is always of uniform
quality, superlative flavor, and,
whilst full of strength, is yet so in
diligently blended that its delicacy
renders it extremely palatable to the
most delicate appetite or most
fastidious taste.
AS to the benefits to be derived
from the use of coffee: First, that
which renders a meal appetizing
and inviting has tendency to make
it more digestible. Secondly, coffee
gently stimulates the salivary glands
and acts beneicially upon the
trophic nerves, in fact, assists
materially in the functions OF diges-
ton and assimilation. Again, it has
an anti-malarial tendency, and may
be used to rare advantages in
miasmatic conditions, and will
frequently prevent zymotic diseases
characterized by chills, ague or
slow fever.
1t will thus be seen that instead
OF being harmful, good coffee is
positively benefit, and that in
spite OF the dictum Of the unlearned
that coffee is "trying to the nerves."
it tones up the nervous system and
is in every sense of the word a true
food-rich in nutrition and produc-
tive OF bodily vigor.-The Planters

ufactories that always pay. There is

grown, whore substantial things are to
be constructed, where children are to

PHILOSOPHY OF INTENSIVE
FARMING.
Maj quette Building, Chicago, Ill.

tFrom Southern Progress. Philadelphia
A currycomb is available condiment
to hay and corn.
A man will manage a farm better for
having titled a garden.
Mortgages are like the waves of the
seattle vessels they hold up to day
they swamp to morrow.
1t is quite as likely that a ducks
back will hold water as that sub soil
of sand will hold manure.
No bank of deposit can be found by
a farmer that is so safe and that pays
so large an interest as a compost bank.
Ditching means making daily de.
posits in q reliable savings bank that
has never yet been known to default a
dividend time.
A farm may be owned by ary man
who has industry enough to work,
honor enough to command confidence
and courage to pinch at spots.
The intensive farmers motto is: ''No
plOughtng where there Is no manure TO
turn under" He expends no unneces
sary force. He values labor too highly
to waste it. Investments are not made
where there is not great deal OF Ger
tainty in the matter of a promise to
pay back,
Crops are in the manure, not in the
land. 1t is waste, both of time and
muscle, to scatter the requirements of
a ten acre lot over one of 90 acres. The
farmer will win a wager Who-ventures
to get more profit out Of one acre than
another would get out of fiVe, the land
being of like quality and the quantity
of fertilizing material being the same

Doys IT PAY TO GROW GERMAN MILLET9
II this crop is planted In a very rich
snot, then 1t pays to SOW, but as it is a
heavy feeder, it will not pay 60 grow
except under favorable circumstance
It draws heavily from. the soil for
two reasons. FIRST, the very rapid
growth would indicate this; second, a
very heavy growth. Four tons per
acre is not a large crop. OF course the
thing to do is to SOW on a very rich
spot, and then follow with peas, clover
or some renovating crop.
The land can easily be brought back
with one renovating crop.
Sow any time in April or May. Pre-
pare the soil deep, harrow it thorough
", and SOW the seed after the ground
is smooth and level, and very fine.
Sow tie seed broadcast and run over
them with a smoothing harrow, so as
to put them in lightly. If the soil is
sandy, then use a roller, or drag.
As the seeds are very foe, it is easy
to cover too deep. The dirt should be
pressed around the little seeds. Cut
when the crop has come in full head
and cure as you would any hay.
Use a feed cutter when perfectly dry
to cut it up in lengths of one or two
inches.
By this means you will get the cheap
est dry food that can be grown on the
ltsrm.

weeds and 5he melons to ''have it out"
between them, for few we'll anchored
weeds and there prove rather benefit
than-a a detriment, since they prevent
the winds from rolling up and mating
the vines.
But better than weeds is a light SOW
ing OF COW peas-a peck to the acre
broadcasted just before the last cult
walton aEd plowed in thereby. The
best pea for this purpose is some up
right, slowgrowing variety, as Whip
poorwill OE New Era. Besides the an
chorage which the peas give the vines,
they also serve to partially shade the
melons from the scorchiS g mid sum
mer sun, and are of great benefis, ma,
nurially, to the ensuing crop, whatever
it may. be.
The watermelon bears its fruit direct
ly on the main whenever on its lat
erals, as does the muskmelon. For
this reason some growers make prac
tIce OF clipping eff the laterals as they
form, thinking that thereby they
throw the strength of the vine" more
into the main stem. This is of very
doubtful benefit. 1t must not be for
gotten that the leaves of a plant are its
lungs, and it is highly probable that
the practice will be found of no more
value thaa the now obsolete custom Of
''pinching back" sweet potato vines.
The following directions are given for
fighting insect enemies of the melon:
A pinch of nitrate of soda at each
hill when plants come up to give them
good scnd eff and Put them rapidly
beyond ret c1 of damage,
3. Spray with Paris green-four
ounces to fifty gallons-at intervals OF
week for three weeks, against the
melon worm, stripped cucumber beetle
and flea beetle, or dust with Paris
green. one part to twenty of -four OF

8. Spray intermediately with kero
sene emulsion for the melon louise

Farm MOTIFS AND HINTS.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The whispers Of summer zephyrs and
the genial glow of the warm epring
sunshine teasing and tempting mother
earth have brought out bud and bloom
n orchard, garden and the ''deep
tangled wild wood" the plowman has
whlstled and furroWed until his broad
acres, mellowed and fined, have
tempted him TO put in his corn ten to
fifteen days earlier and he will be ready
TO put in his cotton equally as long be
fore the usual 20th. What is the mat
teri We have not had hard rain the
whole winter, nor indeed since last
June. The wells and water springs
have not attained their usual winter
supply and abundance. Pastures have
hardly sfflrded a supply for animal
wants The ferries across winter
flushed streams have been q failure.
But wheat and oats, rye and clover,
grass and meadows are in their prime
The garden is far advanced and the
farmers heart is rejoiced. The usual
crops will be planted here, but better
preparation, more manure, and more
''hog and hominy."
If no cold weather comes later, we
will expect plenty of fruit. With these
cheering hopes, though war may wage
and daily papers keep up a stirring
sensation, the farmers look for better
times.
Free silver may be a good thing, but
he who trusts to free silver alone will
never better his circumstances. Free
silver is one thing, but we must have
less ''merchandizing" on the farm. We
must sell and not buy. And when the
farmer shall confiae himself to that,
even the gold standard will not harm
him so much. We need @ government
economically administered; in fact,
economy that will reach every avenue
in life, would be q boon. Extravaganza
has destroyed our power Of self-denial
and government never economies,
but with age, and the history of fallen
nations and empires warning, goes on
every year into further extravaganza
caring less for the hands that toll and
more for the sons of wealth and
honor"
Let US hope there is more manhood
and honor in republic than history
shows ever in the empires long since
perished. Let US hope the people are
getting stronger in will power and self
reliance and determined to think and
act more for themselves. Let US hope
this year is the beginning of the dawn
ing of better day.

SHOULD FARMERS ADVERTISE

This subject was dist used in a for
cible way recently by an Ohio farmer
at an institute meeting. The following
contains some of the most salient points
brought out in the address:
"Have you thoroughbred cattle,
sheep, or hogs9 Have you extra chick
ems, ducks, turkeys or geese7 Let peO,
pie know that you have them. Has
your boy got pet rabbits or ferretsG
Let him do little advertising on his
own account.
\ Have you extra nice wheat, corn,
rye, barley, buckwheat or fax, that is
suitable for seedG Does any body know
about itG Did you ever tell your wife
even9
Have you nice clean oats that you
can guarantee free from smutl Fifty
thousand farmers are looking for it,
Have you any Of the grass seed that you
guarantee free from weed seeds Don't
be afraid you will break that market
There will always be demand.
Now. the next important question is
the medium. This must be determined
by the party interested, and only gen.
eraI directions will apply. You know
the class of people who ought to buy
have. Place your advertisement in
the paper that reaches the largest mum
ber of that class. Not two or three
lines that you can't find yourself with
out spectacles, but good big chunk
out of corner of page, where every
body can see it. Don't sponge your
advertising. That djsgeIsts the news
paper man and makes your competitors
mad.
Don't be ashamed of your business.
Let people know that you are farmer
and that you are proud OF it. Adver
tise your business as other men do,
and compel others to respect you be-
cause of your enterprise.

the vines are not 80 thick as to shade
out the clover.
One OF our most successful seedlings
OF crimson clover was when the clover
was sown broadcast and narrowed in
with wheat drill which sowed COW
peas from every other tube. The peas
afforded shade for the clover when the
September sun would otherwise have
killed out much of it.
There will be no, or only a very little
nitrogen needed unless your land is
very poor, in which case 2 to 8 per cent.
in the commercial manure will be de
sirable. Phosphoric- acid and potash
are the main elements to be applied,
and these are most often used as acid
phos ha eand kainit, though any Other
articles which contain the same
amounts available to plants will do as
well. The amount needed depends on
the land. No one Can tell who is un
familiar with any given piece of land
how much or little will pay best on it
in any given ear because the differing
amounts available in the land may be
supplied in different degrees according
to the rainfall and warmth of the
season. It is usual to orecommend from
300 to 400 pounds of q mixture of equal
parts of acid phosphate and kainit. To
this for poor land may be added half
as much cotton seed meal as of either
of the other ingredients. Should ex
pect tobacco to do we'll efter treated to
these crops on which 500 pounds per
acre of the chemicals and meal have
been used.

Fire faDging" of manure is destruc
tive, and, although it is a we'll known
occurrence in manure heaps, some farm
ers do not try to prevent or suppress it,
1t is simply overheating of the manure,
due to rapid decomposition, large
proportion of the ammonia being lib
Grated and lost. When fire fapging
occurs drive a crowbar into the heap
in several places and pour in cold
water. What is better, wet the manure
and turn the heap over, adding dry
earth and plaster, placing the coarse
portions of the manure in the center
Gold water absorbs ammonia and pre-
vents it's escape, and unless it is used,
much of the volatile ammonia will
escape while the manure is being
handled. The heap should not be kept
wet, however, but slight damp, which
will promote decomposition but over
heating may always be controlled by
cold water.-Tri SAFE Farmer.

THE AMERICAN MAlZa PRoPA.
GANDA.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
To The Corn GrO1Uers of America:
The Corn Convention, which met In
Chicago Ft bFIary 165 5h to consider the
agricultural situation in general and
the interest Of corn in particular, or
gsniz9d The American Maze Propa-
ganda. The central object of the or
ganization is an international effort to
permanently and legitimstely advance
the price of Americas greatest crop by
promoting larger use of Indian corn
at home and abroad. Coming changes
in dietary habits of the world make the
present an opportune time 30 advertise
abroad the virtues and relative cheap
ness of corn as food. The officers of
the Propaganda have already laid be
fore Congress the necessity for making
a comprehensive showing of corn and
it's products at the Paris Exposition of
1900, in such shape as to demonstrate
practically its virtues as food. In or
der to secure this recognition for corn
we must have the active backing of in
dividual corn growers. It proposes to
follow up the beginning then made by
a continued effort under private
auspices.
The organization also has a field for
activity at home. It proposes to edu
cate our own people to better sppre
citation of our great crop. In addition
it will be alert to represent the interests
of agriculturists in general and corn in
particular in matters of legislation, and
in urging effective Efforts on the part
of the government to combat Must
restrictions upon American trade in
any and all foreign countries. In such
matters the pressure which such an
organization csn bring to bear through
it's local membership will be very
great
The organization is in no sense SO
cret order, but plain business propo
sition. In order to reach the highest
possible efficiency in the work under
taken it is desired to have local branch
0S CSGG1OAASuCU AL ON0Gy COu4uA004Gy
where King Corn rules. No expense
will attach to these local branches, but
each one established will give strength
to the central organization by enlist
ing the active sympathy of the corn
producers. Tt is desired to have local
farmers clubs of all kinds affiliate
with us by constituting themselves a
local branch, and where no organiZa
tion now exists individual farmers
are asked to unite in forming such a
local branch.
I desire to urge upon corn growers
the necessity of aiding in this business
effort for the general good of all, and I
will be pleased to furnish necessary
blanks and information to any who de
sire to enter actively in the work by
organizing local branches.
Respectfully,
