White Specks and Bitter Butter.

For years l have Toasted upon what
others have written and gained much
useful knowledge. AS l was reading
what the "Farmer " said, it is more
blessed to give than to receive. / will
relate my own experience concerning
white specks and bitter butter, and
will try and make it short. First
of all is cleanliness. Second, have
the right temperature in the milk-room.
Third, keep all foreign odors at a proper
distance and the atmosphere pure;
skim in twenty-four or thirty-six hours,
stir the cream often, churn as soon as
ripe and discard all wooden pals as I'M
fit for use of milk. If these rules are
followed | will warrant no one will
have either white specks or bitter but
ter. READER OF WATERMAN.
REMARKS BY EDIToR.-We think
" Reader" has taken pretty big job
in his warrant" With all the rules
observed which he has laid down, if
the milk stands in very warm place,
or current of air passes continually
over it, there will be white specks in
the cream and butter sure; and there
may be other causes which we have
not yet identified.

The Coming Of the Crows.

A silver glimmer Ger the hills,
The white wrath of the snowl
The river whrls the broken ice,
And harkl Cav caw" the crow
That wise, black prophet-bird that brings
The spring-time on his dusky wings.
"Cawl cawl" the willows shining bud
Stirs in its vanished sheath;
The great drift wanes upon the HILL
The May-hower swells beneath.
Cav! Caw" Along the softenng sky,
Look see the hoarse old wizard fly
Cav! cawl" His noisy clan behind
Close following, repeat
"Cawl cawl" Was ever note so harsh,
Was ever sound so sweet
As when the crows fly back and bring
Upon their dusky wings the spring?

WE call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement in another COL
umn of the Ashton dairy salt. We use
it in our dairy and find it clean, strong
and of excellent flavor when put into
butter. Most of the large creameries
in the state use it and give it the high
est praise, and they ought to know
what salt it is for their interest to use.

A NEW YORK farmer declares that
the wheat, oats and barley which he
dragged last spring, in some doubt as
to whether he was not doing more harm
than good, yielded thirty-three per cent
more grain than that not dragged,
though the latter was on the richest
and best ground.

THE handsomest lady in Montpelier
remarked to a friend, the other day,
that she knew Kemp's Balsam for the
throat and lungs was a superior remedy,
as il stopped her cough instantly when
other cough remedies had no effect
whatever. So to prove this, and con-

will give you a sample bottle free.

Sunday Closing In Scotland.

the Sunday Closing act in Scotland
seems to have done more harm than good,
to Judge from a report just presented To
the Edenburgh Town Council by the Chief
Constable Of the district. That function
AIRY says distinctly that q vast amount Of
harm is being done by the great and in
creasing use of methylated spirits "a a
beverage" aud he asserts that this form
of the liquor trade is largely carried on by
chemists on Sundays. No questions are
ssked; the purchaser goes to the chemist
with his bottle, gets it filed with this vile
compound, pays for ii and goes home 10
drink it. The spirit is populorly known
- ''fnish," or polish" and sometimes
as dynamite" and macy chemists are so
used to supplying it that customers need
only place their bottle on the counter to get
them filled, without word uttered. Al
together the Chief Constable seems to have
made out strong case for the prohibition
Of the sale of methyiated spirits on Sun
dry, which Parliament will do well to con-
