COULDN'T FIX HIS STATUS.

Not long ago a New York drummer,
travelling on the New York Central, en-
tered the baggage-car and sat down on
a box for quiet smoke. The baggage
master pointed significantly at stran-
ger sitting by and shook his head, but
the drummer didn't seem to see what was
wanted and smoke ON placidly, needless
of the baggage functionary's more pro-
nounced signals.
At length the stranger raised his head
with a. sigh, and regarded the intruder
with prolonged stare.
"Nice weather." still contemplating
the drummer with q steady look of
lively interest:
" Fine as;sak," responded the drum
mer indiferently.
g" Did you know herr" inquired the
stranger, after another pause.
"Know who % asked the mystifed
salesman.
"Praps you were introduced to her
at some large gathering and have for
gotten the circumstance" continued the
stranger, staring at the traveller as
though he We're trying to place him.
Don't know who you are talking
about" retorted the man of samples,
whose attention was divided between the
equally unacc0 untable gesticulations of
the baggage man.
"Was it at a picnic, or some agitation
about the pastor? She was very fond
of both, and lift wasn't one or the other,
I'm blest if it mustn't have been some
auction" and the questioner's face was
full of anxiety as he waited for the reply
ri don't know what you're driving
at" growled the professional " masher,"
gazing from his interlocutor to the dane
ing baggage man. whats this thing
all about anyway
81 suppose 1 might have known that
you was stranger to her." sighed the
melancholy man. Ishould have drop
ped on it at the start. Any man who
knew her wouldn't have tried it under
any circumstances, and I only wonder:
that even a stranger manages to pull
through" and the dismal man changed
his look of anxious inquiry to one of
undisguised admiration.
"Will some one explain to me what
this old lunatic is working out?" de-
manded the drummer.
Nothing, nothing" replied the sol
emn man, stretching back in his chair
and contemplating the landscape, "noth-
ing, only you're sitting on the remains
of my deflnct wife, and I thought you
must have been bosom friend or a
total stranger to think that any one
could take that kind of liberty with her
without turning the carcass into dy-
Mantle, and being bowed clear through
the roof of the car so quick that you

MAKING PREMIUM BUTTER.

We copy the following article from the
Jefferson County Union. 1t is from the pen
of Hon. Hiram Smith, of Sheboygsn Falls,
Wis:
W. ]. HOARD, Ed. UNION. Dear Sir =
Your favor of the 29th of December re-
ceived. asking me to write an article on
p" Premium Butter Making" This topic
might easily be spun into long article. but
the essentials to success can be briefly told.
Premium butter can only be made (whers
the competition is sharp) when all, or nearly
all. the conditions are favorable. The most
important condition. will state it stronger
and say, it is q positive necessity-thst the
dairyman competing for prize with any
hope of success must have all or nearly ell
new mich cows, because that rich flavor,
that delicious aroma that wins all hearts, or
rather tickles all palates, exists in large
measure in the milk, cream and butter from
new mich cows, and does not exist at all,
or but feebly, in the butter made from strip
pers, and such butter has been justly de-
scribed as neutral-neither good nor bad
and does not stand the ghost Of a chance to
win a prize in competition with butter made
from new milch cows, presupposing that
both have been we'll made. Early cut hay,
corn. fodder, corn meal, bran and ground
oats, and warm stable in winter, are all
very essential conditions. Cold, deep setting
of the milk to raise the cream is essential to
uniformity. 1 do not say it is impossible to
make good butter from milk set in open
pans. 1t is not impossible at fair to hit 9
nigger's head stuck through q hole in .
blanket, but nine balls out Of ten fail to hit
it. In churning either sweet or sour cream,
the churning should cease while the butter
is in q granular form, when it should be
washed and sailed in the churn, and then it
may be taken on the, worker and, positively,
never allowed to become very soft or very
hard before reworking and packing. Judges
Of butter find it essential to correct judg-
ment to judge from q scale Of points, with
so as perfection, as was used at In. dairy
fair in Milwaukee, as follows: Flavor, 20
quality or grain, Is; color 6; sailing 6 !;
| style Of packing. 8 total 80. see no good
reason why . scale of points may not become
as advantageous in the manufacture of but
ter as in judging of its quality, from pas
experience and present knowledge. I would
suggest the following scale with numbers
according 20 their relative Importance:
New milch COWS. 20; early cut hay, corr
meal and bran, 10; deep setting 10; wash
| ing and sailing in granular form, 6; work
| ing and packing. 4 (; total. SO.
Experience, skill aud cleanliness do no
create flavor, and the most that can be don;
is not to destroy the inherent flavor existing
in the milk. Good hay. corn meal and bra
do not create favor. but help to develop

I stood in q fruit store on Railroad
street the other day. The proprietor
was sorting his apples on the stand be-
fore the door. All of the bad ones he
put in basket. intending to throwthen
away. After heaping the other basket
with sound ones he had few especially
nice ones left, which he put on top of the
rotten ones, intending to remove them
as soon as he. had made room for them.
At this time Colonel who is noted
for his characteristic pomposity, stopped
at the stand and inquired, in his usual
important manner
How do you sell those apples ?"
" A dollar and half basket"
I'll give you a dollar and half for
that one" touching with his foot the
basket containing the rotten ones).
"All right"

7F INTEREST TO WOOL GROWERS.

OF INTEREST TO WOOL GROWERS.
To WASH, OR NOT TO WASH; THAT Is THE
QUESTION.
The washing of sheep has by q large
majority of wool growers come to be looked
upon as both barbarous and greatly injurious
to the sheep. The fright occasioned by be-
ing forced into the water and the prolonged
chill from Washing and slow drying is very
exhaustive to the vitality of the sheep, and
makes it more liable TO be attacked BY dis
ease. Because the evil results are not i'm
mediately observable does not prove the
animal is uninjured. Months afterwsrd,
when some prevalent disease is decimating
the fold, the flock master can charge back
part Of the loss to impaired vitality caused
by the protracted chill of washing. The
evil results are not always confined TO the
sheep; sometimes serious results occur to
the washers.
Many of our wool growers have wished
that public meeting could be held for the
purpose of discussing this and other ques-
tions of-interest to sheep men. Every wool
grower have oonversei with says he would
be glad to be rid of washing sheep If he
could be sure Of marketing his wool as well.
This all admit could be brought about if the
universal practice of washing we're abolished.
can demonstrate by unimpeschsble figures
that even now Kenoshs county loses more
money by washing than uld be lost by not
washing.
Gentlemen interested are arranging to in
vfte the wool growers to meet at an early
date to discuss this question to the bottom.
To reach all it will be necessary to hold
meetings at two or three points. and the
effort will be made to do this.
invite every man who keeps sheep and
feels that his interests would be advanced
by convention of wool growers to write
me postal card Immediately, expressing his
wishes and suggesting place of meeting.
Very respectfully,

A MISTAKEN MARRIAGE.

Some time ago q gentleman, well
known among commercial travellers,
stopped at boarding house noted for
old-time silver ware and deep dishes.
The house was operated by widow,
with whom Juckles, the traveller, fell
very much in love, that is commercially
in love, for Juckels has wide open eve
for business. "What fine home this
would be-" he unused. "The widow is
not very handsome and hasn't any
particular education, but hanged if It
don't stand man in hand to make the
best shift he can. I'll marry this woman
and have home" g..
Next evening he requested business
interview with the woman, and while
they were seated in the parlor, Juckels,
who can be very tender, said:
Mrs. Hotsel, during. my very short
stay in this house I have become very
much attached to you."
"Lor, Mr.. Juckles."

peculiar man and my love is inexplic

"Lor, Mr.. Juckles."
"My father wanted me to marry {

what is beauty when a soul is not thereI?'
"Lor, Mr.. Juckles."
Now you are woman of SOUL and
love you, love you with devotion tina

"Lor," exclaimed Mrs. Hotsel, throw
ing herself into his arms, "I never
thought SIGH streak of luck would strike
me-"
They were married the following
night, and the next day Mrs. Juckle
said / didn't know what was agoin
to do, but providence has provided 20,

away and heaved. He had married
