The best vezirsel to tie in making vinegar is .a barrel- in which': hard cider or vinegar has. been stor ed. ' ilfa new barrel' is employed, it should be thoroughly rinsed out, ,a gallon or more hot vinegar poured' intad' allowed to soak into the wood. presence of a small amount of old.vinegar will cause- .the contents 1 of the yessel . to acidify more rapidly. The barrel in which vinegar is made should not be entirely; full of cider. It is best -.to leave a space equal to about one-third of the 'Capacity :of the vessel in which the air can.eireu.-•- I late..

Clark writes to the Elmira Farmers' Club as follows: "I - find the discussions in,your club are-often on the subject, How to,make manure and, how to use it.' : 1 1Iy plan I have not seen suggested. Now this is the • plmr I adopted nearly _tbsee years. ago; I graded my. barnyards into a %Sin"shape, the lower part under my eow•stable windoW. Then I settled a cistern five- feet deep and - eleven feet square. Then -I laid my walla with water and cement s sowhen done it wait, eight .feet square. Then, I •made a stout ' wooden frame and placed it In' the centre ;to receive a flagstone covering. Thiel is all Wow 'the surface and inclitied towanfthe centre., Thin I put in a ribber chain pump high enough to spout out the drainage into a hogshead —standing on-trucks. I heave the manure from the stable right on to the cistern. This protects it from 'frost. The drainage from other- stables all ten- tres into this cistern. Now, the leaching of - the manure heaps is what_ I save to saturate .mY land. - I use a street sprinkler.. Drive about twen ty rods and back, the . load - is dis charged. Last tear I saw a decided improvement in my meadow; timothy tall and coarse, sold it for'retail hay . I use the liquid. to mix with • Paris• green on lay potatoes. It is agoo , l fertilizer as well as death to the hugs. I never invested in patent.fertilizer.. I think a farm that can't furnish it, own fertilizers is no farm for me. The above is the cheapest and easie , P, handled and spread on the fields. save over a 100 loads' every year.

'_l7.Or early risers and. those who require an early breakfast there is a mode of making coffee so generally practiced . as: to •be almo-t universal is this country, and that is simply- bOil ground 'coffee' fer few minutes and .then. either settle. the grounds with cold water Or give them time to settle gradually. -.This: mode can be .greatly improved, by corking the spout with a - cotk, cloth or paper, thus prventing the escape of steam which oases from the. boil lug cotlee. By the escape of the steam we lose much of .the _aromatic -flavor that renders coffee .palatable.." Let those who cook coffee after' this methodlry- our pl in, -and they will' find a vast improvement: An emi nent chemist recommends' the follow ing as a "favorite way of making this now universal beverage Three , fourths of the coffee should be boiled anti the 'remaining fourth infused, after Which the whole - should be mix ed. By this means both the strength and the flavor ; are increased. To preserve the tiavOr of. ground coffee' it should be ,wet . , with the. syrup of sugar and' -then covered ' with . pow dered sugar; in. this way the-volatile partg of the coffee are prevented from .ese'aping. As heretofore said, coffee. after being roast2d- shOuld tie each 1. ed ,from the air . and ,kcpt in a dry place if not used at:once, as it absorb; from the atmosphere .and . gradually it • lgseS its flavor.. 1 „, D P lITES A COPPF3. 13011, Use a . coarse. cloth ; have a pail of very hot Water;. soapthe-clotti a lit tle ; sprinkle on .plenty of- pnlverizeil borax, and rub the boiler. well ; rittz ulf with- hot water;- and dry with a soft cloth.
