entered a Detroit fish store the other
day with hesitating step, and after
looking around upon various kinds of
the finny tribe, she turned 10 the pro-
prietor and asked:
"Do you keep fish here ?"
"No, madam" was his prompt reply.
"We keep hardware and groceries

doors below. Come to the door and |
will show YOU"
She looked from him to the fish and
back, hesitated, and he continued:
"Can sell you anything in the line
of stoves, to-day 7"
She shook her head and walked out.
She didn't call at four doors below,
which is a tobacco store, but she
looked into the windows at the display
of pipes, then back to the fish store,an
somehow or other something puzzled
her.

AGRICULTURE.

GRAssEs-WHIcH ARE THE BEsr.-
Prof. COllyer, the chemist employed by
the Government for the Department of
Agriculture, is engaged with hiA as
sistants In making analysis Of various
kinds OF grasses from various parts Of
the country. The object Of these in
vestigatlons Is 10 ascertain which
among 1000 varieties of American
grasses contain the greatest amount of
nu.ritive substance. II the work
should prove successful, definite and
strictly reliable results obtained, II will
be In the power Of every farmer TO
scientifically and successfully adjust
his grasses TO his actual needs. This is
a new work, and it, results will be
looked for with interest. Up to this
time none Of the analyses have been
perfected. The grasses now under in
vestigation are twelve varieties of ma
tive Kansas grass. The grasses are
first burned in order to reduce them to
a mineral state, and these inorganic re.
mains are then resolved into elemental
nv bodies, which are weighed and meas
ured, and the results carefully record
ed. This constitutes the first series of
tests. Subsequent tests are then made
for the purpose of determining the
varying proportions of sugar, starch,
albumen, etc., contained in the grasses.
These results are also carefully record
ed. From all these data tables will be
made which will demonstrate the place
and worth of each kind of grass to the
farmer. If the plan succeeds, it will,
we think, remove the doubt which at
present harnesses many Of our practical
dairymen and feeders.

must have something better than the

SELECTING BREEDING TURKEYS
While all breeders ike to have and
breed ''heavy weights" and customers
buying turkeys all call for large birds,
it is a fact that for market purposes,
moderate sized and even small turkeys
command a more ready sale than do
large ones. We have watched the
market for a few days past and know
this to be a fact. However, we do not
wish to discourage breeders from rum
ming up the weights, even itthey attain
the much desired weight of a 80 pound
gobbler at three or four years old for as
long as there is a lively demand among
breeders for heavy birds, let there be
birds to supply that demand. TO
secure the best results in that direction,
select an early Matched, strong and
vigorous gobbler Of this years hatch,
and which is OF fine proportion, long in
the body and properly marked, and
mate him to as many two-year old hens
as you intend to ~keep-from two TO
five hens, if properly handled, will
produce a fine crop of young birds each
season, and you can not help but be abb
solutely satisfied with the results.
