¡ACTI minke very good pots for the careless. They need
less attention than most plants. They flower, have curious ways. They last sometimes for years. But even a cactus won't stand for everything. What Is ple to one cactus is poison to another. For instance, there is this water question. You have to consider the type of plant, the season, and the temperature.
Too frequent watering causes deeny, which is difficult to deal with. All the affected parts of the root and plant must he cut away, and what is left treated as a cutting and freshly
rooted in sand.
When the weather is hot your plant wants a drink when the soll in the pot is just dry. You can fest this by the sound when you tap the not.

COFFEE POT
answer to women
whose husbands say,
"My wife can never
make good coffee.
,
OFFEE need not be any more difficult to make than brewing a cup of tea, provided Ayou keep in mind the following rules. They come from a French housewife, a coffee dealer, and a maitre d'hotel.
The coffee must be fresh.
It must be finely ground.
It should be kept in an air-tight tin.
A coffee-grinder of your own, keeping the coffee in whole berry form till needed, is the best arrangement. Otherwise buy it in small quan- tities, so that you don't have any left over to go stale.
A tablespoonful of coffee to every breakfast cup is the usual amount allowed. A small pinch of salt brings out the flavour. For cafe au lait, one ground chicory berry is an improvement.
A La Francaise
THIS is the French jug-method. Tie
the coffee in a.muslin bag, and pour on two spoonfuls of warm water to make the coffee swell. This means that the boiling water... which you. must gradually pour on next, will filter through very slowly. Some French wives allow
the' filtering to take an hour, gotting the best out of their coffee. Standing the jug in a pan of
heated water will keep it hot, The American type of percolator is splendid because it is so simple. All you do is but in the coffee and cold water, and leave them over the heat for fifteen minutes,
A Saucepan Method
A
To get a lovely aroma, hold the pan and dry coffee over the heat for minute, taking care not to burn it. Next pour in the water, and bring to the boil three times. Let the liquid stand six minutes, then strain through some muslin into a heated jug. Serve with cream or hot milk. If the milk is removed from the heat before it boils it should not skin.
An Unorthodox Way
This
mothod sounds all wrong, but it makes good breakfast coffee and is quick and simple to do. Just put the coffee and cold water into a saucepan, bring to boiling-point, and add the milk. Remove at boiling-point again, and sieve into a warmed jug.
