Not one person in a hundred rea- linea the long and Complicated pro- s;esses these coffee -beans havebeen through before reaching the grocer's Oboe, For five years the writer lived nn a coffee estate in the West Indies, growing what is universally regarded as the finest coffee in the world, says an article in Answers, This particu- lar coffee is so scarce and so choice that a is sold in the English market by auction for blending purposes only - just to lend its marvellously aro- matic flavor to lesser coffees; It is strictly "mountain coffee"; that is, it grows only to perfection in' the hills, The manager's house stands 2,600. feet above sea level. Immediately in front of it are a series of concrete platforms, ea- h a few feet lower than the previous one. These platforms are known as "barbecues," Alongside each "barbecue," "feed- "feed- ing" it, is a grooved channel of ce- ment, to .eontain water. On either side of eaehbarbecue are a numberr , of wooden huts. Behind and. •to the . side , of the house is an enormous shed, contain- ing a large, electrically - deiven ma- chine, called the "pulper," and be- hind this a huge sunken tank, which can be filled with water or emptied at will. But where does the coffee grow? Stand with your back to the house and look up! You are facing a chain of mountains, with cultivated patches on the windward side of each hill 'These are the coffee fields. They are huge tracts of systematically; planted stubby trees or bushes, with dark green, glossy leaves. As it is "crop" season, each bush, is heavily laden with bright scarlet berries, like small cherries at first glance, though oval in shape. You pick a berry and 'tear off the red skin.. Inside you find two per- fectly shaped "beans," enclosed in a sticky white skin. When this is off the two "halves" come apart :nat- urally. When the berries are gathered they are taken to the shed at the side of the house, where the berries are "fed" into the •"pulper;" which re- moves the red > skins and shoots the loosened "halves into the tank at the back, now a quarter full of water. The released beans lie in the tank for two or three days, to ferment. This is a ticklish matter, as the slightest degree of "over -ferment- ation" would ruin the 'beans. The latter are later run through to the barbecues by the release of the water from the tank. Here they are spread out by the barefooted black boys for theirpreliminary drying. At night they are pushed into the coffee huts at the side. Daily for many weeks the coffee beans have to be brought out of each hut and spread on the barbecues in the sun, to bring them to the ulti- mate perfection of "dryness." After the first drying not a spot of rain must touch ,themor they will all become mildewed in the huts! At the first sight of a rain -cloud on the hori- zon, everyone — man, woman, and child, inside or outside the house- leaves what they are doing and• rushes to help in' the coffee. The preliminary grading of the beans is done in the Coffee House, where they are put through various machines, called "hullers," which tear off the outer skin and the inner silver one, and then shoot the beans, sorted according to size, into differ- ent' -receptacles: But the final "grading" has to be done by hand. There are a certain number of "picked graders" in every coffee district, always black ladies, who do nothing else, and who invar- iably wear their best clothes for the TMs. work. is. highly ,paid, and; the women, who are experts, have done it for years. The knowledge of it is handed down in a family. They sit at a' long wooden form in the shape of a school desk, under which are draw- ers, full of beans. These they pass through marvellously quick fingers, to drop into little heaps of various sizes. Quite Innocent. "There was a fight in front of our workshop to -day;" said a joiner at the dinner table. "Two chaps got hi- to a row; ' one struck the other, and then the , crowd gathered. The chap who was struck ran and grabbed .a cart -stake, hiseyes blazing. 1 thought sure he would knock 'the other chap's brains out, and I stepped in between them." His little lad had given over eating his dinner as the narrative proceeded and his eyes bulged out of his head. -He was proud of his father's valor, and he said: "He couldn't knock any brains but of you, could he, dad " The man looked long and intently at his heir, then, resumed his dinner. --London Weekly Telegraph, flfs Majesty Laughed.

This Creamery was opened in March of that year and -until the end of. December of the same year, draw- ing cream from as far north as Coch- rane and'east and West an the :Trans- continental, manufactured 40,000 lbs. of butter. This was the only orearn- NEWS AND INFOR TWO nIyinSD ery along the T, & N. 0, at that time. But since then, four other creamer- ies have been located in the District' of Temiskaming and more in the Dis- trict of Cochrane, Last year, namely. 19.29, the, butter outptt of the Dis- ricts .of Temiskaining and Cochrane,. was well over one million pounds. This is concrete evidence of the " pro - gress tre dairy industry has made in this part of Northern Ontario. This year all creameries report increased production over last year. Testing Fertilizers A new method of bringing the On- tario Agricultural College into con- tact with farmers is the practice of holding evening meetings on field de- monstrations with fertilizers. These demonstrations, of which several hundred were laid 01.11: on a variety of crops' throughout the province, consist of plots 'of half -acre or acre size, on which different combinations of fertilizing elements are compared with unfertilized plots and with an- other tinder practical farin conditions. 'This work has been nrade possible by co-operation of the college, county representatives, farmer dernonstrators and fertilizer interests.. So far this zeason ten field meet- ings have been held, in Kent, Essex, Elgin, Middlesex, Welland, Oxford, Waterloo a.nd Wellington. Furthei 'meetings are planned. as the later crops reach maturity. At each meet- ing the crops are inspected and a general discussion opened on the sub- ject of fertilizers, led by soil fertility experts from the 0.A.C. Reduction in Alsikas A considerable reduction in the seed crop of alsike and red clover is officially forecast for 1930. Ontario is expected to produce not more than 70,000 bushels of alsike or about one- third of the 1929 production. An in - Creased acreage of -alfalfa is being held for seed in Ontario. There was practically no carry-over of alfalfa seed and owing to the extent To which this year's crop was winter killed it is expected there will be a good de- mand for alfalfa seed during the cont -Il frig season =t vrr41 ..; .•.1 Tomatoes Pro Reports from the Leamington area in Essex County show that the tom- ato shipments are the largest in 15 years. The South Essex fruit growers shipped as .many as 17 carloads in one day. The price to the growers is about $1 >for aii ll:=quart basket. The early crop is ripening very fast and is reported of good quality. The organization is reported as exception- ally succesful this year in the handl- ing of beans, cucumbers and other early produce. Potatoes have also moved quickly and have been a good crop and the price is considered very satisfactory. Tlie organization now has grading stations at Marrow, ain sville, Leamington o ton anc Ruthven, en, with Newton James as manager. Summer Fallowing Pays R. Id.

Junior Fair Brings Results The Barrie Junior Fair of 1929 was Barrie Fall Fair. With. 50 Junior ex- hibitors with 227 entries, including livestick, poultry, field crops of var- ious kinds, a very creditable showing was made. This year with an enlarg- ed prize list and the addition of a Junior .Girls' Section, it is expected that the Fair will reach 150 to 250 Juniors as exhibitors; From, present prospects itis expected that there will be over 80 entries of live stock alone, to accommodate which the Barrie Kb- wanis Club is building a modern live stock building 135' in length by 25' in width. The competition will also be heavy in Poultry, Potatoes and crop products, while a special feature of the indoor exhibit will be 70 dis- plays of Home Garden produce. The Junior Fair is demonstrating more forcibly each year its value as an encouraging factor in Agricultural, improvement. It is not to be con- 'fused on-'fused with School Fairs, but is rather a connecting link between School Fair and Fall Fair, appealing chiefly to those between 14 and 20 years. Al- ready numerous incidents have been observed of the purchase of purebred stock and registered seed grain and creased interest and enthusiasms -irz. farming by the young people an a dir- ect result of the Junior Fair.
