MAKING GOOD COFFEE
CERTAIN RULES THAT WILL
HAVE TO BE OBSERVED.
Euying It Green and Roasting Il for
Oneself 10 Always Advisable
Material Never Should Be
Placed In Tin.

Buy your coffee green and roast It
yourself. Therein lies the main secret
OF the good cup of coffee. Coffee aft
er having been long roasted loses it's
aroma and delicacy of flavor. From
ready ground or ready roasted coffee
the best results are impossible.
But if the roasting is not done prop
erly the brew may be worse than the
worst made from prepared coffee. II
roasted too much the flavor is spoiled
and the beverage injuriously affects
the digestion. To prevent the decOm-
position Of the acid, gum and resin
In the coffee bean 1t is necessary that
the roasting proceed uniformly with.
out excess of heat. It is better to EN-
ploy a closed receptacle, which should
be shaken thoroughly about every ten
minutes to prevent sccrching. 1t
should be removed from the oven In
about forty-five minutes, when the
coffee is reddish brown. An expert
can tell by the odor when the roast
ing is sufficient.
4AOSI0 rare.
~ seen, by the way-requires less
roasting than any other because Of the
great amount Of oil in the bean. In
other coffees the dampness prevails
over the oil and the excess of mois-
ture disappears with the roasting.
Mocha is roasted enough when 1t has
a cinnamon color; other coffees
should have more of a chestnut color.
In no instance should the coffee ap-
proach to blackness.
When properly roasted the coffee
should be emptied on a stone or
marble table, taking care to separate
the beans. The sudden contact with
the air and the cold surface arrests
the evaporation of the essential oils.
AS soon as the coffee is cooled it
should be placed in a glass jar and
Theoretically sealed. Never should it
be placed in tin. It should be used
as soon as possible after roasting, for
no matter how carefully kept its
aroma rapidly disappears. The best
plan therefore is to roast only enough
for one day. That insures the really
good cup of coffee.
Every housewife should have a cot
fee mill and grind the coffee just be-
fore making the brew, grinding only
enough for immediate use. When you
do not use a %percolator the best re-
suits are obtained by not grinding too
finely. A tablespoonful Of medium
ground coffee to a cup of water and
lone for the pot" is the usual rule for
making good strong coffee.
The p%ercOlator has come to the aid
OF the young housewife who was un
certain of her skill under former
methods.

ERROR OF MANY POULTRYMEN
ter by Small Fanciers-Should
Be Sent to City Markets.

Many poultrymen make the mistake
Of keeping too many fowls over win
ter. This is especially true Of the
small fancier. Imagination looms up
to prodigious size. and he sees himself
carrying home from the post Office
order after order for fowls and eggs.
He persuades himself that he cannot
possibly retain too many fowls for the
late winter and early spring trade, so
his inflated enthusiasm lures him into
paths which lose him profit and defeat
the very purpose which he is aiming
for.
With this large idea in his head he
neglects to Gull his flock as severely
as he should and thus retains many
for breeders which should rightfully
adorn the city mans table-yia the
huckster's cart.

FEEDING IN A DAIRY
Error Made in Giving Too Much
Cheap Concentrates.
Chief Problem 10 to Furnish q Suffi-
cient, and at Same Time Not Too
Costly Supply Of the Best
Protein Foods.
(BY w. NJ. KELLEY

(By w. M. kELLEY.)
According to accepted standards, a
cow weighing one thousand pounds
will require about one pound Of pro-
tein . day in a maintenance ration,
and n producing from thirty to
forty pounds Of milk q day will re-
Quire from one and one-fourth to m
and three-fourths pounds additional,
or q total of from two and one-fourth
to two and three-fourths pounds a
day. Our dairy business, especially
in the East, has been developed large
ly upon a basis of cheap protein
foods; and as a result many dairymen
have been buying and feeding too
many protein concentrates, for the
purpose OF stimulating q large flow OF
milk.
Some dairymcn are feeding each
COY daily from eight to ten pounds
of gluten and other highly-concen-
trated protein feeds; but it is my
judgment that they r making q mis-
take and cannot obtain profitable re-
suits in the pail or by added fertility
In the manure heap.
Our farm crops, clover and timothy
hay, corn and other fodder, and for
age. with oats, barley, wheat bran
and corn for concentrates. and q little
Of the more highly concentrated pro-
tein foods form an ideal combination
to promote health and vitality. We
may get a little less milk, but our
COWS will breed more regularly. and
we shall have better calves.
The low percentage of protein, and
the high percentage of water in corn
ensilage makes 1t desirable to feed
with 1t an abundance Of good clover
hay. which makes q better ration
than either alone, but one that is fer
from perfect.
When feeding ensilage and clover
hay, q liberal admixture of home
grown grain foods should be added to
balance the ration with protein. We
should make q constant effort to pro
duce various kinds Of proteinaceous
forage and fodder crops.
This brings up the question OF 70,
tation of crops best suited to the feed.

worth almost as much for fertilizer

Corn ensilage is the cheapest food
for the dairy cow. Every man who
has fed dairy cattle knows that sue
culence adds value to the cows food.
and that there is no crop that will
AFFORD this as cheaply as ensilage from
well-matured corn.
The advantage Of a crop Of mangels
or rutabagas Is not SO much in their
nutritive value as in the fact that they
furnish succulence, when the cows are
being maintained on dry foods. While
root crops are very generally used
in England and Germany and are held
in high esteem as a n appetizer and
conditioner in this country, their use
On dairy farms is quite limited.
