JAVA COFFEE
MANIPULATION

Consul Frank w. Mahin writes TO
the Consular Trades Journal:
In response to an inquiry from the
Department. OF Agriculture at Wash.
ington, / have investigated the re.
ports that an impure Java coffee is be-
ing exported from here to the United
States. IL is stated that owing to
keen competition a secret practice OF
manipulating Java coffee has grown
up, such coffee being exported large
" to South Africa and some to the
United States. The process is merely
selecting good-sized Santos beans,
putting them through a little machine.
and polishing ard painting them. to
give them the color and appearance
OF the real Java. This is known in the
trade as manipulated Java, which
ray be wholly or partly made up of
inferior kinds. For shipments to the
United States il is inferred that the
article consists OF mixture of real
lava with inferior beans. Outside the
trade the coffee is known as Java.
In view OF the practice which has
prevailed the consul has decided here
after TO request shippers or Java cot.
fee TO add the following declaration to
their invoices: That the coffee coy
cred by this invoice is pure Java,
neither mixed with other kinds nor
eounterfeited.

ODE TO MARCH.

Oh blow ye winds OF March, and blow,
And give us scrumptious weather;
Mix up your snow and hail and slush,
And hand it out together
Oh, blow the horns from off the cows,
The tops from Off the trees;
Oh, blow the shivers up our backs,
And dose us with the sneezes.
Some billiards from the West let
loose,
To set the coal men singing;
Make spring one day and winter next,
And hear our curses ringing.
Frost,bite the taters in the bin
Freeze up the milk and butter;
Next day bring forth the violet,
To hurt our feelings utter.
In brief, old March, We look 70 you
Fer many days are over;
To show the country you can make
Yourself an ass in clover.

The SPRING PoEr-

THE SPRING POET.
The poet sees old winter skipping
And spring come down the landscap,
tripping
And blithely pass,
A merry lass,
Just like a colt turned out to grass:
He sees her, most divinely fair,
Come floating in without a care,
Serenely grand;
So, pen in hand,
He grabs a sheet of paper, and
He don't do a thing to spring.
He notes the hillsides fairly blushing
The brooklets to the river rushing,
The suns warm flood,
The tender bud,
But oh, he never sees the mud
The while the merry farmers boy
Jumps all Of seven feet high for joy;
On every hand
The leaves expand,
And so he grasps his pencil, and
He don't do a thing to spring,
Sweet spring
He don't do a thing to spring.

PIG EATING SOWS

Early in the spring many farmers
complain of the old SOW eating her
pigs. There are two or three reasons
for this. In the first place the pigs
may bite the teat, which will make
the mother angry, during which time
she snaps at the pigs. If she happens
to get one of the little fellows be-
tween her jaws and succeeds in get
ting a taste of the tender meat, she
will continue to eat them as rapidly
as they come in her way. Another
reason why sows eat their pigs Is be-
cause they are fed a feed that is much
too hiph in fat and carbohydrates and
to low in protein. This one-sided feed
is usually accompanied with a laCk
Of exercise which makes the mother
hungry for meet or hungry for Il feed
that is unusually high in protein. In
order to cure a pig eating mother it
is necessary to feed a balanced ration
and give her the advantage of a large

teeth that are often found in pigs.

bushels of oats per acre; from two

from the machines in operation it is
safe to assume that the wheat crop OF
