Being an Independent, straightfor ward American girl, she boldly entered the library where her father was try lug to keep awake, took his lap in pref erence to an easy chair, got him by a half Nelson hold about the neck and promptly told him that she had en gaged herself to that young Johnson on Second avenue. "What!" whooped the old gentleman, and he attempted to get to his feet that he might express himself with more action and impressiveness. But it is a quick shift from the half Nelson to the strangle hold, and she made the shift while she talked rapidly in a cooing tone, patted him on the elieek with her free hand and vigorously worked the strangle. "Lucy," he yelled, "break away!" showing that he was not so unsophisti cated as he looked. "You're tlirottliug me!" "He has a nice position and good prospects and no bad habits, and he never made love to any girl before, and his family Is all right, and mamma said she was willing if you were, and Uncle Dick says there are lots of worse fel lows than Mr. Johnson, and Aunt Kate says she always did like him, and our minister"— "For heaven's sake, girl," gurgled the old gentleman, who was purple and gasping, "do you know what you're do ing?" And he made a desperate effort to break the hold, with the result that be tightened it. "Don't get excited, papa, dear, bless bis old heart! 1 knew you wouldn't be cruel enough to break my heart." And she put on the pressure. "As I was saying, the minister said"— "Minister be blowed," and papa's eyes were bulging; "all of 'em be blow ed! Marry him, marry the whole John son family, but let me get a breath." Then she kissed him enthusiastically, called him an angel and was proclaim ing her engagement In the parlor, while the old gentleman was coughing, wheezing, swearing and assuring him self how he'd hate to be in Johnson's place.—Detroit Free Press.

When the cream was warm, or at 71 degrees, and the water was at 40 degrees, there was but little water absorbed In the butter. We need a standard for butter which shall declare that there shall not be over 12 per cent of water in butter, or at least 85 per cent of butter fat, and the balance in casein, salt and other elements, in cluding the moisture. Then we shall be sure of receiving what we pay for. We scarcely care to spread our biscuit or our steak with either cold water or sour buttermilk. ConpciiH In Northern State*. If the cowpea has any place in the farming of the northern states, it is not as a forage crop, either as hay or ensi lage. Some have succeeded in making lair ensilage by mixing a little with corn, one-fourth part or less, but others have failed. When the pea vines are fit to cut, it is not good haymaking weather, and they need a great deal of curing. A small patch for the hogs to feed upon or for the hens to pick the peas from may do very well, but the use for them is on some of the outlying lots of poor soil, so far away that it will not pay to draw manure from the barnyard to them. Sow the cowpeas there, as they will grow where clover will not. Put on some add phosphate and potash to give them a start and plow them under in the fall. Then sow rye as a winter cover crop to pre vent the nitrogen from being lost in winter. Plow that under in the spring and add more phosphate and potash, and the peas and rye will have fur nished organic matter and nitrogen enough to grow almost any crop that may be wanted there. This requires some labor, but it is cheaper than pay ing 20 cents a pound for nitrogen in chemicals or the commercial fertilizers. Wnttlilnjf Ilnttcr. When the practice of washing the buttermilk out of the butter in the churn was first begun, it was charged that the flavor was washed out of the butter. We have no doubt that this was true or that some of the rich, nutty flavor was so taken out. It was then the custom not to try to get the buttermilk out before the butter was nearly all gathered into one solid lump, and it required considerable churning in two or three waters to remove the buttermilk. Then few used water cool er than that in the well or spring, sel dom below 48 to 50 degrees. When they had learned to begin the washing while the butter was in grains about as large as wheat kernels and to use iced water at about a temperature of 40 degrees, which chilled the but ter, they found there was little If any loss of flavor, and if the water had a handful of flue salt to each gallon it required but one or at most two wash ings to get it free from milk, and we thought the flavor was improved or brought out more fully. Too Milii y Seed Name*. We mentioned some years ago the fact tliat many catalogues varied in tlie names tliey gave to the same variety of seed and suggested that there should be some attempt made to correct this faidt and also that of sell ing several different kinds under the same name, which last is usually the result of dishonesty or a carelessness that is but little short of dishonest to the buyers. We are pleased to notice that the department of agriculture lias begun investigating the matter, and Mr. Tracey, who is in the seed depart ment, says lie tinds in the ninny cata logues 092 different cabbages on their lists, while there are only from 100 to 120 varieties known, also 312 varieties of lettuce, while the department knows of only 87. They have found thus far ttmoiig the beets, beans and cucumbers many kinds that have from two to six names, and they Intend to continue the Investigation, and when it lias been completed they will publish the results In a pamphlet. Grade Mother*. It seems to be a principle in breeding that when two animals of different breeds are mated the influence of the one which is the nearest pure bred, if both are in equal vigor and strength, will be the most potent In its effects upon the offspring. If one is weak or in poor condition, the other may nt taiu the ascendency, as surely will be the case with the one that Is of a pure bred and the other only a grade. When both are equal in breeding and health, It is unsafe to predict which parent the offspring will most resemble, as it may vary according to their condition at the time of mating. This will explain why many who have begun to grade up their herds by the use of a pure bred male have succeeded better than those who have tried to effect a cross between two good breeds. And this is true of poultry as of animals. ; Feeding Value of Itootn. An exchange says: "In estimating the feeding value of such crops us beets, turnips, etc., the value of 100 pounds of beets is placed at 10 cents, rutabagas at 15 cents and the ordinary turnips at 11 cents. This makes these foods cheap compared with some kinds, and they are also beneffclal outside of their actual food value."
