TO TEST BUTTER.

.,ordoDca NJ The Progressive Farmer.
A recent bulletin of the Depart
ment of Agriculture gives two SIM
pie tests whereby housekeeP-
ers may ascertain whether they
are getting pure butter, cleo or
renovated butter. One of these tests
is by boiling and the other by a
method designed by Mr. c. II. Water
house.
The first test may be conducted
in the kitchen as follows: Take q
piece of the sample about the SIZE
of a chestnut, put it in an ordinary
tablespoon and hold it over a gas or
kerosene lamp, turned low, with
chimney off. Hasten the melting
by stirring with a splinter of wood !;
then increase the heat and bring 1t
to as brisk a boil as possible. After
the boiling has begun, stir the con-
tents of the spoon thoroughly, not
n~eglecting the outer edge, two or
three times at intervals during the
boiling-always shortly before the
boiling ceases. O1eomargarine and
renovated butter boil nOisily, spu6-
tering (more or less) like a mixture OF
grease and water when boiled, and
produce no foam, or but very little.
Renovated butter usually produces
a very small amount. Genuine but.
ter boils usually with less noise and
produces an abundance of foam.
The difference in regard to foam is
very marked. The WaterhOuse test
is as follows: Half fill a 100 &C.
beaker with sweet milk f; heat nearly
to a boiling and add from five to ten
grains of butter or OleOmargarine.
Stir with a small wooden rod, about
the size of a match, until the fat is
melted. The beaker is then placed
in cold water and the milk stirred
until the temperature falls suH-
GENTLY for the fat to CONCEAL. At
this point the fat, if oleomargarine,
can easily be collected together on
one lump by means of the rod,
while if butter, it will granUlate and
cannot be so collected. The bulle-
tin, which gives detailed instruc-
tions, can be obtained from mem
bers of Congress. MARRIOTT.

EUGENE FIELDS ARITHMETIC.

The first book which Eugene Field
had printed was the "Tribune
Primer, "publishedin Denver in 1882.
1t was composed of short lessons in
different lines of study. AS there
are said to be not more than seven or
eight copies of the book now in ex-
istence, readers may be glad to see
two specimen paragraphs from the
lessOns III mental arithmetic:
eff you have Five Cucumbers and
eat Three, what will you have left?

CHOOSING THE HIGHER.

AS any book, however good, may
be a bad one to Us, if it takes the
time which might be spent reading a
better one, so any work, any oocupa-
ton, may be comparatively bad for
for us,-if we are free to choose,-if
we r adapted to something higher.
In other words, we should aim to do
the highest and noblest things posi-
BILE and practicable.
No nan has a right, for instance,
to develop his brute qualities, while
his higher nature lies dormant or
atrophied. 1t is a shame for a young
man with a vigorous physique, a fine
brain, and great possibilities, to
choose a career which brings his
purely animal qualities into &C.
tivity and destroys his higher
manhood,-for his nobler qualities
must inevitably perish for want of
exercise. Natures law-"Use or
lose, lis inexorabIe.
How many young men OF ability,
of fine education, and robust health,
are literally throwing away their
lives in some degrading business
which elevates nobody, but, on the
con trary, demoraliz6s and contami-
mates everyone who comes in contact
with it. Does it pay a young man of
godlike powers and infinite capabili-
ties to ostracize himself from society,
to forfeit the respect of his fellow
men, tor the sake of a few paltry dol
lars which he has accumulated at the
cost of a debauched conscience, and
the destruction of his better self?
Can any amount of money or any
physical pleasure compensate for a
career on which society frowns, and
which ones better self condemns?-

VALUE OF ART IN THE HOME.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The excellent article from the pen
of Prof. Jerome Dowd, of Trinity
College, published in The Progressive
Farmer of June 4th under the title
CART In the South" deserves a
wide reading. In this materialistic
age, the value of art is often dis
credited. Our farmers too often
think that the ground which their
wives and daughters use for grow
ing flowers ought to be producing
beets or cabbage :; and the same spirit
pervades many walks of life. This
idea is very ably cOmbatted by
Prof. Dowd himself, who says:
eff art had no moral or religious
significance, still it ought to be cUl-
tivated because it adds to human
happiness and makes life a little
more worth living. It is quite com
non to have people say, We'll, we
have plenty to do with the necessary
things of life. Art is not necessary.
Let US leave it alone Certainly it
is not necessary. Swine aud goril-
las do very we'll without it they
r satisfied to occupy their days in
a scramble for food. Their minds
minister only to their stomachs. It
is possible for men to live on the
same plane, and many of them do.
But is it all of life to eat, drink
or sleep? If so, the teachings of
Scripture is falsifed, and instead of
man being made a little lower than
the angels he is indeed on a level
with the brutes. The ability to pro-
duce art, and the finding in it one
Of the joys of life, r the distin-
gushing marks between man and
the lower species. Man lives not
by bread alone Instead of despis-
ing art we should glory in it as a
sign of superior being. Who can

ing Of winds, the oar Of the break

landscapes and sunsets, or behold
the lighted dome of heaven, and not
believe that God intended mankind
to find a large measure of his hap
piness in the realms of Art?"
But my purpose in writing this
letter is to call attention to the com
mencomont address, of Hon. Car
roA l.. Wright uenvered before TIE
graduating class of the A. & NJ. Col
lege, Raleigh, May goth, which the
writer had the pleasure of hearing.
I was struck with some expressions
of his regarding the same subject so
ably treated by Prof. Dowd, which I
send you for publication if you
think them worthy. Said he:

ethical conduct. It induces the moral
state that is essential to happy rela.
tions in society. It awakens slum-
bering possibilities. It induces 10

A COUNTRY

R. G. Sackenken of keystone, Ill,
writes as follows in regard to a ooun-
try library:
"Where the farmers means are
limited, and that is the case with
most of US, a plan of cooperation
among the book lovers of a COM
munity should be adopted. In this
way quite a circulating library can
be maintained at a very moderate
individual expense. One has been in
existence in my neighborhOd for a
number of years. It now contains
about 175 volumes has a membership
of twenty-four. The funds have
been raised chiefly through basket
sociables, lap suppers and the like.
A president and librarian are chosen
annually. When sufficient amount
of money is on hand a special meet
ing is called or a committee appoint
ed by the president for the purpose
of selecting new books. These we
buy in the open market at the lowest
possible figure. We are thereby able
to affect a considerable saving over
the regular prices of dealers and
agents. Contributing to the support
of a book agent should be considered
as one of the small leaks on the
farm"

versity, have claimed that the high
est attainment of the orator posi-
BILE in these days is to deal with the
convictions of the audience in such
a way as to emphasize the truth al
| ready in their minds. Such was the
achievement of Mr.. Bryan at Chi
cagO. He stated no new facts, the
body of his discourse being taken
almost verbatim from speeches
which he had been delivering in va
rious parts of the countay for the
space Of two years. There was
nothing in what he said to convert
anybody to the views which he was
defending, and in fact he converted
nobody to those views. But he did
a thing even more remarkable; he
converted everybody that held those
views to him, in such a way that
they have taken a special interest in
him ever since. He found an au
dience already of his way of think
ing, though when he took the floor
the majority of the convention we're
in despair because nobody had able
to make an Ineligible statement of
his opinions in a tone of voice loud
enough to be heard. At last this
young man got the opportunity
which he went there to seek. He

up in that tumUltUOus assembly.
His voice was strong and musical
and he had learned how to use it. 1t
reached the extreme limit of the am
phitheatre, and as he spoke he made
every infection count so that while
he did not add an idea to the sum
of knowledge and added but few
striking phrases to the familiar vo-
cabulary of the discussion, it gradu-
ally dawned upon the convention that
they had found in him their appointed
leader in the great controversy upon
which they were about to enter. Yet
his whole art consisted in SUMMARY
ing the prejudices and convictions
of the convention audibly, 80 that
they could be heard and understood.
HARD wOR M YOUR BEST EFFORTS.
There are orators who affect to
despise the smell of oil and to count
it as a superiority that they speak
extemporaneously but such can get
little comfort out of the study of
the lives and labOrs of those who
have made a permanent impression
on the art and, too, most 0f them
do not tell the truth, but are trying
to have credited to their genius
what in reality belongs TO their Ia
Dor, forgetting altogether that
there is no genius except hard work.
The stump has been the last field
of oratory to submit to the exac-
tions of toll and care and unremit-
ting attention to details. This has
been partly the fault of the public,
which has allowed itself to be i'm
posed upon by patiently receiving
all sorts and conditions of speeches.
The schoolhouse and the newspaper
have gone far to restore even the re-
mote rural districts to their natural
rights in these matters. Charles
James Fox once said that however
humble his audience he always felt
that # vas his duty to do his best.
That course was a good thing for
the audience and undoubtedly a
good thing for the orator, for in no
art Is it ever safe for a man to fall
below the best that is in him.-Sen-
ator Jonathan P. Dolliver, of Iowa,
in Saturday Evening Post.

THE WONDERS OF A MAGICAL NUMBER

Everybody knows the tricks that
can be played with the number g.
that mysterious property known as
the "power of nine" But strange
things are sometimes discovered
with regard to other numbers, even
when we get into hundreds and
thousands. There is the number
142, 857, for instance. At first sight
one would not suspect it of anything
singular it is only when we take to
multiplying it that we discover its
powers. We shall find that if we
multiply it by any number, from one
up to six, we shall arrive at pro-
ducts expressed by exactly the same
figures as the original. Not only 50,
but, with the exception that a differ
erent figure leads off each time, the
order of figures is the same.
