HE COULDN'T REFUSE.
She Knew Exactly How to (iuln Pa-
PU'M C'OIINCUt.
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.

The lowa experiment station states
in a recent bulletin their test of the
amount of water absorbed by butter
under different conditions, and they
found that the butter held most water
when the cream was quite cool, or at
52 degrees, and the water in which it
was washed was warmer, or at 70 de
grees. 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."
