A lady in Leo county aged 85 years had lost many of her teeth and those Hr t remained wore in bad con¬ dition, her eyesight defective and her general health not good, One ©F her sor.s, a dentist, removed al! her teeth and proposed making her « new set.

Women liken womanly woman, bat they hate a feminine one. Misery rum the biggest road house on the turnpike of happiness. Every poor girl believes it is wrong for a man to marry for money. Next to a mosquito a girl is the most aggravating thing in the world. Iu life’s race a man runs better if he has a woman to set the pace. If the average woman could be horn a widow she wouldn’t get married. If a man is thirty he suffers less from love than ho does from rheumatism, A woman never feels so important as when she goes lo buy her first baby carriage. A man always boast about what fine coffee he cun make unless his wife is around, When a woman has fully made up her mind about a thing she goes and asks n man’s advice, The woman who will scrimp for a montli to wear a stuffed bln bird on her hat cries her eyes out when the cat gets the canary. jS'oy Houle to Ilea lilt.

Of the 5i i oad varieties raisc-d, I suppose a good n: any posses the same character¬ istics. \ Vhat I Wish to know is the principal varieties and their uses.

In this way a crop is seoarod which costs absolutely noth- ing except for the seed ami sowing, and which may ba relied upon for a consid¬ erable amount of seed and grazing, and at the same time will make a cheap and effective fertilizer for tha succeeding crop. Iu some cases th8 peas and corn have been planted at the same time, in alternate hibs, but we have rarely found the practice economical. If running va¬ rieties are used they tie oopstalks to¬ gether so as to materially reduce the yield of tha grain, while if dwarf varie¬ ties are used ; hoy are so shaded by the corn as to make but little growth. When planted between the rows iu June or Jalv they begin their rapid gr, w h after the corn begins to ripen, and the corn crop i# gathered before the Vines are large enough to bo trouble- tome. When a crop of peas is grown in this way it cannot well be cut for hay, but will usually make a good yield of seed, and will afford a large amount of most excellent grazing for either cattle or bogs. Bor such late grazing the black and the red ripper are among the best varieties, as the peas will lie on the ground a long time without injury.— State Agricultural Department. l*eet -Sugur. | ( A E * TIC| N.
