OFFICIAL CUP OF COFFEE.

BY direction of the secretary of agri-
culture the bureau of plant industry is to

which it is brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which the bev-
erage is made. 1t will be appreciated by
all persons acquainted with the art and
mystery of coffee-making that various con-
dltlons, apparently trivial in themselves,
have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.
For instance, in the process Of roasting
the beans may be more or less damaged
by being under or over done, and the
flavor of the coffee thus impaired to q
corresponding degree. Hence the necessity

er1ects of water at various temperatures
upon the ground coffee and the proper
period for infusion will, for the first
time in the history of coffee-making, be
thoroughly and accurately ascertained.
The retention of caffeine, the active
principle of Coffee to which it owes its
stimulating effects, and the elimination of
the catfeotannic and cafeic acids, which
are not only injurious to health, but COM
munlcate an unpleasant, bitter taste to
the beverage, will be, of course, the prin-
clpal objects.

Russian Spy's Encounter with Jap

Chinese had all run away. Suddenly a
cavalry detachment of about 20 men,
with an officer, came toward me. The
officer rode out and asked in Chinese

PRISON TELEGRAPH CODE.
By Which Convicts Communicate
Through the Thickest Walls
Of Stone.

Every prison has its secret "tele-
graph" for 1t was not to be expected
that cunning offenders could be long
confined together, ever on the sep

ing a method of secret communication,

and experience has shown that an at
tentive ear may receive and under
stand a communication thus made
through the thickest prison wall.
The raps correspond regularly with
the letters of the alphabet, which is
arranged for the purpose into six rows,
the first beginning with "a" and the
last beginning and ending the series
with 81" The first rapping indicates
the row in which the letter is to be
found, one for first, two for second,
and so on; the subsequent raps, given
after a slight pause, show the number
of the letter in the row. At first the
table must be kept in mind, but after
a little practice the prisoner is enabled
to dispense with all conscious reference

ters..
In Russia the clew is not so much
in the system itself as in the nihilistic
method of manipulating language with
a view to concealment. This is clear
from what happened recently in one
of the central prisons. Word has gone
round to protest, not only against an
excess of heavy work, but against the
bad quality of food supplied to the
prisoners, and the protest was to take
the form of a refusal to perform the
usual tasks on the men being called to-
gether after breakfast.
Somehow or other the governor OBJ
tanned the message as it had been
raped through all the walls, but he
took 1t literally as a plot to break pris-
on by the whole of the convicts, SO
he armed the whole of the warders to
the teeth, taking effective measures
to present the assembly on the NOR
row. This blunder had a highly bene-
fetal effect upon the discipline of the
prison, for the convicts obtained not
only immediate immunity from the
heavy tasks to which they had not
been accustomed, but afterward en-
joyed better food and more humane
treatment.

SWINE CORRECTIVES.
Swine ~Ockme Should Seek to
Supply the Natural Cravings of
Their Hogs In Winter.

During the winter, when the pigs
are more or less confined and have no
green or ~succulent feed, as they do not
in a large majority of cases, they de-
velop a craving for something not
contained in their ration Of grain. w.
A. Henry, referring to this tendency
in his book on Feeds and Feeding"
says:
Every stockman who has kept pigs
in confinement has observed their
strange craving for seemingly unnat-
ural substances-sand, rock, soft brick,
mortar, rotten wood, charcoal, soft
coal, ashes, soapsuds and many other
articles being greedily devoured when
offered. Such objects lie outside the
range of nutritive substances, and
we are puzzled to know why they
should be so eagerly consumed. In the
wild state the hog ranges through the
woods and open tracts, living upon
small animals, larvae and vegetation
generally. This material is of such
character, and is gathered in such
manner, that some of the soil is swal-
lowed with it. With rings in it's lose
to prevent roofing while in the pas
ture, confined on board floors during
the fattening period and given feeds
containing little ash, the pigs life Is
passed under unnatural conditions.
Another cause for this craving may
he the intestinal worms, which are
checked or destroyed by some of the
substances consumed. Unsatisfactory
or Incomplete as such explanations
may be. the fact remains that the
mig seeks out these unnatural sub

Manural Value of Stock Feed.

Materials brought on the farm for
feeding purposes are useful in a great
many ways, and the benefits derived
therefrom do not cas- because the
feeding stuffs have been consumed by
stock. Only a portion of each kind
is digeStible, and much of the materi-
ais will be found in the heap.
1t may be claimed that the farmer uses
as much "shoddy' materials as the
manufacturer, if the matter may be
considered from a cartain standpoint,
for the reason that they are used over
and Ovef again, going through various
processes and serving many purposes.
There is, in addition to the feeding
value of materials, also a manural
value, and frequently the manuaral
value is greater than the purchase
price of the article, a fact which
should be considered by all farmers
when purchasing bran, shipstuff, gluten
meal, linSeed meal or cottonseed meal.
Every purchaser of any of these sub
stances should be made with a view
of feeding both the land and the
stock, and the value apportiOned and
estimated according to the results ex-
pected from both sources Of profit. A
hundred pounds of food given an ami
NAL increases its weight to a certain
point, but as only a portion is digesti-
bic, the food finds its way to the ma
nur head, where it is used over again
to produce more food, like the "shod-
dy| of the factory, with the difference
that in the manure heap it undergoes
chemical processes which fit it better
