STREAKY BUTTER.-Many butter max
ers are sorely troubled with mottled or
streaky butter and are at a loss to tell
what causes it. Many writer's attempt
to throw great mystery around the
subjec; by attri5uting the trouble to
sour cream, age of the cream, food the
COWS eat, and many other causes that
may possibly have been caused by any
other foreign substance getting into the
milk, cream or butter. Why bring
about all this confusion while the fact
is that in ninsty-nine in every hundred
cases where notifies appear in the butter
it is caused directly by the salt put in it.
To prove this, take the point of tooth
pick and taste some from the different
colored parts of the butter, and the fresh
taste Of some and the salt taste Of others
will satisfy the most skeptical. The
remedy lies in two directions. First use
very fine grained salt and spread it thor
Oughly over the butter while it is worked
out into thin sheet. Put the salt in
little at a time, and after it is pretty
we'll incorporated with the butter, set
the mass away for at least two hours,
and then rework it sufficient to destroy
all streaks and notifies. Then ehurn and
Draw of the buttermilk when the butter
is the size of wheat grains or little
smaller, and then thoroughly wash the
butter in strong brine. The only trouble
with this method is that it hardly gives
salt enough taste to the butter to suit
for open market, though it is sufficient
for the better or higher priced custom
er-. The butter maker must be governed
by the taste of those who buy his butter.

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1886-01-07

The Catholic Citizen quotes from Don
ahoe's Magazine a pen picture of Glad
stone at Emmet's grave. The great
statesman looked long and sadly at the
last resting place of the Irish martyr. and
as he moves away drunken freshman
shufflss forward and breaks in upon the
silence with "Och! Mr.. Gladstone will
you take the july off the whiskey." And
the Citizen thinks the splendid painting
must needs have this bit of debasing re-
atty because there are such lrishmen as
the one whose thoughts were only for
cheap whiskey. Yes, that scottish Irishcaan
has place on the canvass and his drunk
en- petition should not be kept from Irish
ears as it may teach lesson. At time
when the greatest statesman of the age
tries to swing the English nation into
line in the cause of Ireland, and when
standing on the grave OF the young en-
thusiast who gave up his life for bis PEG
pie, an Irishman can be found degraded
enough to thrust every consideration
aside and ask the great man to make
whiskey cheap. Let lrishmen ponder
upon the picture and reflect that there
are certain national characteristics which
not only prevent sympathy but Justly
earn eontempt. "Cheap whiskey"
against an Irish parliament, and the lead.
or petitioped to give the former while he
is striving 70 grant the latter!

GENERAL BRAGG has introduced bill
for the relief of Fitz John Porter man
who has suffered the most terrible wrong
and who thus far has been refused re-
dress. Grants most unseifish action
was his determined effort to remedy the
wrong done Porter. He characterized
Arthur's veto message as frivolous and
stated emphatically that he would much
prefer to see Porter re-iUstated to being
placed on the retired list himself. He
acknowledged he at one time thought
Porter guilty but full examination of
all the testimony convinced him beyond
doubt that terrible wrong was done the
disgraced soldier. General Terry who
sat on the court martial and pronounced
Porter guilty, on fuller examination of
the evidence pronounces Porter entirely
blameless. These two men have done
everything they could to right the wrong.
But Logan who wants to pose as the SOL
diers' friend to crafty his own ambition
persists in his efforts to prevent Porter
from being dealt with justly. Logan's
opposition when viewed in the light of
his consuming ambition should not have
the weight of straw.

The papers are doing Mr.. Hudd what
The Pilot believes simple justice in stat
ing he is not actively at work to succeed
Mr.. Rankin while the latter is on his sick
bed. Mr.. Hudd has some heart and
some sense and neither would allow him
to play the ghoulish part credited to him.
There is no man who can hope to succeed
Mr.. Rankin who looks upon his death
with any degree of expectancy. The
people of this county would resent to the
utmost any such anticirations and it is
unjust as we'll as unkind to Mr.. Hudd to
impute any such motives to him. 1t is
not easy to compute the depth of affection
with which Mr.. Rankin is regarded in
this county, nor the Indignation with
which any political calculations having
his death as factor would create.

The n. Y. Tribune and The Milwaukee
Sentinel do not think there is much need
of reviviug the old warning "Beware
the Dog" and insist that hydropbobia is
so rare that it hardly justifies the least
excitement. This is perhaps true. Not
one case in ten reported as hydrophobia
is so, and genuine mad dog is rarity.
But the scare though unreasonable is
good thing because nothing in reason can
stem the army of dogs which make
human life miserable. A family which
has hard work to provide the necessaries
of life will keep number of dogs having
no mission on earth but to search for
stray bones and ebay at fortune" during
the long hours of night. The dog is
splendid animal, affectionate, intelligent
and valuable. But he ceases to be SO
when he is ill-kept and has no mission
except to howl, catch feas and live on
his wits. You can't tax the worthless
ours out of existence and the only cure
is to make their owners feel that every
dog is hydrophobia factory. The man
with sense enough to treat a dog properly
won't believe tbs but the yellow dog, and
the white and black one must go.

TIE Inter Ocean likens Parnell to a
second st. Patrick The Inter Ocean
has at all times been steadfast friend of
the Irish and not of the demsgogic order
either which seeks to fatter by calling
their evil good" There is no class OF
people which need a drubbing moro for
being carried away by some noisy blus-
terer who wants their votes and tries to
gain them by panegyrics and wordy sym
patty. The best friend the Irish people
can have is of the Parnell kind who will
teach them to check their extravagance
in language and be the tools of no party
and of no man.

The question of home rule for Ireland
is the absorbing question in England and
the leading papers there write leaders on
no other subject. From the opinions
thus far expressed by liberal members OF
parliament, any attempt toward granting
Ireland a parliament of its own, will fail.
In all the strife of words the Irish nene
bers hold their peace, most remarkable
tribute to the wisdom of Parnell's leader

ion. 1t is great advance when English
men will deign to discuss the pros and
cons OF the question. 1t is only within

The Newark children who were bitten
by mad dog and sent to Paris to be
treated by Pasteur are now on their way
home and the scientist says there is no
danger that they will be afflicted with
hydrophobia. An institute known as the
American Pasteur Institute has been es-
tablished in New York where it is pro
posed to treat hydrophobia in the man
ner practiced by Pasteur which consists
in making the system proof against the
disease by incubation. Treatment will
be free as hydrophobia "a most common
