Coffee.

--A friend gives us the result of experiments in coffee-making, which, at this time, may prove serviceable to housekeepers. The ‘"Old Dominion"’ coffee-pot is highly recommended, inasmuch as it makes the beverage clearer and better than any other, besides being economical. Wheat is now much used with coffee, and the following is the way to prepare it: Get some red wheat, (for there is as much difference between white and red wheat as between Rio and Laguayra coffee,) soak it in warm water until the bran or outside becomes a little soft, (a few minutes will suffice,) take it from the water, and parch it as you would coffee; have one fifth as much coffee ready parched, and just as they get done, mix them in a pan over the fire, stirring in at the same time some butter, or, if you prefer clearing at first, some white of an egg; then prepare your mixture in an ‘"Old Dominion,"’ and you will thank us for a good cup of coffee.
