How to Roast Coffee In the House.
1t is some trouble to roast coffee in
the house. but the result more than
pays for the trouble, says the New
York Post Buy the green coffee in
any quantity, just SO it is not too large,
and roast it a pound at Il time. One ex-
pert puts the bean in Il common iron
spider with tablespoonful of butter
and stirs over the fire until the coffee
is quite hot. 1t is then put in shall
low baking pan in a hot oven and
roasted to dark chestnut brown, stir
ring well from time to time to prevent
burning, and also to allow the beans to
brown evenly on all sides. The odor
of the roasting coffee is delicious, and.
by the way, acts as a clearing agent,
rendering the atmosphere clean and
fresh after the fragrance has disap-
peared Never grind more coffee than
is needed for a single brewing, as the
bean loses strength after grinding.

THE VALUE OF MULCHING.
Results Obtained With the Potato
Crop-In the Farm Garden

Crop-In the Farm Garden.
Several of the experiment stations
have carried out experiments in mulch
ing potatoes Favorable results have
been obtained in dry seasons at the
Nebraska station. AT the Michigan
station the following yields were OBJ
tanned: Mulched, 167 bushels of pota-
toes per acre: cultivated, 100 bushels
per acre. With another variety the
yield of mulched potatoes was 252
bushels and of cultivated 3S5 bushels
The cost of cultivation was less than
the cost of mulching, and the profit in
both instances was in favor of cultiva-
ton. 1t should be stated however,
that there was large amount of rain
during this season and that the straw
used as 4 mulch contained a consider
able amount of grain, which came up
on the mulched plats, both of which
conditions were favorable to mulching
At the Oklahoma station the total
potato crop was increased about 80 per
cent by mulching, the marketable crop
nearly 100 per cent and the size of the
tubers about 10 per cent. Mulching
potatoes with old shavings at the New
Jersey stations increased the total num-
Der Of tubers on a small plat about IL
per cent and the weight Of the crop
about 81 per cent. At the Georgia sta
ton mulching potatoes with pine straw
was not found to be Of sufficient value
to recommend the practice. These con
x1-itT
would seem to confirm the conclusion
reached at the Nebraska station that
mulching is Of greatest value in dry
season.
In a special test Of Il four inch and
eight inch straw mulch and early and
late mulching for potatoes Il four inch
mulch applied late in summer after
several CIVILIZATIONS gave the best re-
suits In the case Of sweet potatoes
the vines did not take root through the
straw mulch. as they 10 on cultivated
ground. which was considered 4 decided
advantage for muching
On the whole, this work seems TO in
dictate that on the farm where eultiva-
ton Of the garden IS likely to be neg
lected in midsummer j mulch Of straw
can be used probably as a substitute
For the best results the mulch should
not be applied until the ground has be
come thoroughly warmed up and after
two or three civilizations have been
given The mulch may then be safely
applied to such vegetables as cabbage
tomatoes, potatoes ana beans and the
garden left to take care of itself the
rest of the season.

Considerable agitation has resulted
In the minds of great many people
interested in progressive dairying oW-
ing to the method Of cream ripening
suggested by Professor Dean of the
Ontario Agricultural college. He car
ried on some experiments by adding d
starter to the cream, cooling it down
and churning it Immediately, says G.
Larsen in Creamery Journal. Another
lot he ripened in the usual way. He
found that the quality of the butter
resulting from adding the starter and
churning at once was as good as and
even better than the quality of the
the usual lengthy way.
It has in the past been thoroughly
demonstrated that sweet cream butter
is not as good in several respects as
butter made from ripened cream. and
it was also thought that process of
fermentation was necessary in order
to develop the peculiar desirable fla
vors which are developed in butter
from ripened cream. 1t may. however,
be possible that these fiavoring sub
stances can be developed i'll a starter
and impaired directly to the butter fat
in the cream to which The starter is
added.
Whether this process of adding d
starter stirring and churning imme-
diately will produce as good a quality
of butter as when ripened in the usual
way will seemingly depend upon
whether all these fiavoring substances
can be added directly TO the fat in the
cream from the starter.
