TEST FOR ADULTERANTS.

In tea: Tea is often adulterated
by the use of pigments. 1t is called
faced tea. Sometimes the aduIterant
is Injurious, other times it is not, but
just put in to add weight. To test
put tablespoon into wide mouthed
bottle or jar. Add six times the
bulk of tea of cold water Shake
hard, then strain through a sieve.
IT any mineral substance is present it
will sink to the bottom of the liquid.
In coffee: Chickory, peas, beans
and cereal are often found in coffee.
Chickory will color water a light
brown muddy color, as it sinks. Fill
tumbler two thirds full Of the cold
est water possible to obtain. Take a
teaspoonful of coffee, add it to the
water, stir second, the coffee will
rise to the top leaving the water
clear. The other ingredients will
sink coloring the water. Of course if
the test lasts long enough the coffee
will do the same.

In order to get them on right the
strings should be loosened, the garters
fastened to the hose before hooking

should be pulled down as far as pos

readjusted then pull the strings very
tight and even; the strings should

Eke To see the orchards in bloom and
see the ripe fruits, such as the red
checked apples, cherries, yellow
pears, Washington prunes and
peaches, hanging on the trees.

pasture. The COWS give us plenty of
milk to drink as we'll as providing us
with butter and cheese. What great
per cent of our food the COWS give to
us annually What would we do
without our friends, the COWS?
The nice sleek, curried horses are
pleasant to the eye. They are good
for many things on the farm; for
blowing, cultivating. hauling heavy
loads as we'll as using them for pleas

do very often when go for mail or
on errands.
like to see little chicks running
about with their mother and l like to
feed chickens and gather the eggs.
The farm is a good place for boys
and girls to grow up, plenty of room
for them, lots of work to do instead
of being idle and fooling away their
time. 1t is a better place to keep
them out of mischief. II 1t were not
