During the last year dozen eggs

in all our large markets as a pound Of

Many wonder what causes white
specks in butter. When milk sets in a
warm room or dry place without
skinming till the cream gets tough and
|. athery, and the milk is sour. small
flakes OF curd will adhere to the cream,
and come off with it. and will not
dissolve in churning. Then if the but

fore it collects. these spccks become
imbedded in the mass, and cannot be

SilO Food.

John Gould in his talks at the Wis
cOnsin farm institutes states that the
milk making capacity of three tons of
ensilage that contained only 9OO
pounds Of dry solids is equal to l.SOO
pounds If dry solids in meadow hay.
This was confirmed BY Dr. Bowman of
Sbrboygan, who explained that it was
due to the fact that the silo food in
consequence Of fermentation was al
ready prepared for digestion. while it
took an extra amount Of what he call
ed force in tho animal economy to
prepare the food for assimilation, and
that thus part of it was lost. The silo
saved the expenditure Of this force,
and 80 made plain what had been
deemed absurd By those who take no
cognizance Of the facts. What the
doctor called force. in common par
lance. is the gastric juices Of the mouth
and stomach, which unite to digest the
food. .-Hodrd's Ddirgmadn

oats. The crops were cut and housed
in two days. On the first day appear

hired to supply dinner at nine and sup
