Presiding Elder G. A. Lenho7 OF ths

tells this story OF the late Bishop W,
w. Duncan of the Methodist Episcopal
church:
When Bishop Duncan first went to
Texas to preside at a state conference
there he was suffering severely with
hay fever. He was of nervous dis
position and referred TO his malady
with such frequency that 1t became
bit tiresome to the preachers A
brother got up to make a report and
In the course of it he used the term

tell me, sir. what IA grass widow Is?
The offending brother looked as calm
and as serious as an undertaken dur
ing the storm OF laughter which the
bishops speech had developed. When
things queted down he said. very
gently:
"A grass widow. bishop, is woman
whose husband has died with hay
fever!"

Trend Of Civilization,

had thought that civilization
meant the attainment of peace and
order and freedom of good will be
tween man and man. OF the love OF
truth, and the hatred of injustice. and
by consequence the attainment of the
good life which these things breed. a
life free from craven fear. but full OF
incident; that was what l thought it
meant, not more stuffed chairs and
nsore cushions. and more carpets and
gas. and more dainty meat and drink
and therewithal more and sharper
difference between class and class.-

MILKING cHARAcTgRIsTIcS.
How They Can Be Successfully FixeA
by Breeding.

1t is believed that II two ami.
mails OF dissimilar characters are
bred together the offspring will as
sumo the qualities principally Of the
individual that has dominant char
acter. but the fixed characteristics Of
either animal are more or less dis.
turbed and in succeeding generations
almost any gradation and blending Of
the cross can be expected. AS a mat
ter OF fact. when two animals OF good
milking strain are bred together We
generally get an offspring that is quite
superior in milk production to either
of the ancestors. However, this can.
not be absolutely relied upon but Is
the best way to increase the capacity
for milk production. To perpetuats
the character in succeeding genera
tions this cross may be bred to q
male who has a dominant character
for milk production inherited from his
ancestors. If no such strain of AMI
mails is available it is wise to breed
| this offspring back to its sire in order
to fix this character. For instance, .
phii anu d toW are mated. DOtn from
different strains The dam and the
sire's dam have the character to pro-
duce 20 pounds of milk per day well
| established, but these strains for
many generations back are not related
TO each other The offspring from
this cross may only have a capacity
Of l5 pounds. However, it is more
likely to have the capacity to produce
80 pounds. To fix this character in
succeeding generations it would be
wise to breed this offspring back to
its sire, which has but 20 pounds ca.
pacity. while there is a possibility of
slightly reducing the capacity of the
offspring. yet it fixes the character
and makes it more permanent for
future generations. But if you desire
to run the risk of still greater in.
crease in milk production it would be
well to breed this COW with a capacity
of 80 pounds Of milk per day to sire
of another strain which has an aver.
age capacity of 80 pounds per day.
The closer strain is related the
more permanent and the more reliable
will be the fixing OF that character
for all future generations at 80 pounds
capacity.-Prof. Oscar Err.

Beans for Green Manure.

We know of one farmer that planted
beans too early, and the late frost
caught them, killing the whole crop.
He planted again. but this time so
thick that the pods did not form till
an early fall frost caught them. and SO
the whole crop was lost. But the
growth of the beans had been a very
rank one, and the weeds had been kept
from growing. The mass of rank
heritage was plowed under and the
land left to be planted the next year.
The plowed-under beans proved to be
great enrichers of the soil. for they
added to it a very large quantity of
nitrogen, in addition to the humns.
This in its decay created acids which
set loose more plant food in the soil.
So the bean crop was not a total loss,

COOLING the Milk.

4 speaker at a Wisconsin institute

milk quickly to a temperature of 30
degrees or less, and it would pay the

of well water will enable the patron
