E. c. Bennett, of Epitomist. says: The
white specks in butter are due to poor
ripening Of the cream. Some Of the
cream has "wheyed off" and decom-
posed, and the casein has gathered in
clots and the whey has separated from
the cream. These clots of curd will
not churn out. They remain in the
butter as clots, and always look white.
Artificial coloring has no effect upon
them, and winter or summer they spoil
the looks of the butter. Greater care in
ripening the cream is called for, but
even in creameries there are times
when these colorless clots form, and the
sure way to do is to strain the cream
into the churn. Then the clots do not
get into the churn and are not found
In the butter.

THE TREES WE PLANT.

GERndeP Monuments Than Those Carved
from Dead Granite.
If he be "benefaetOr of his race who
causes two blades of grass to grow
where only one blade grew before, how
much more must he benefit the world
who plants that which shall continue
to grow in beauty and in strength, and
become of still greater benefit to the
world as the years go on! There Is
something grand, and something sad,
in the planting of tree. 1t is grand
because it is benefit bestowed upon,
and labor performed for, those who
shall come after us; it is sad because
our own eyes shall not see the results
Of the work we do.
And who may know the unmeasured
good the planting Of single tree may
do? AS time goes on, and the sun
smiles upon It, and the clouds weep
over it, and gentle winds caress it, It
shall spread out its leafy hands 10
ward heaven as in prayer, and be to
every heart "a thing of beauty and Joy
forever" The birds shall build their
nests among its branches, and fill the
palpitating air with melody; beneath
itS cooling shade, when summer suns
shine warm, the laugh Of children shall
resound; the sturdy tread of manhood
shall be heard and the tottering steps
of the aged shall lOiter there. Per-
haps, upon the soft, green carpet be-
meath It's shade fond lovers shall plight
their troth; the happy birds shall
laugh out beneath it's trembling leaves,
in very Joy to be alive, and love. Per-
haps, too, beneath it's shade, grown
wide and deep, there may be dug, some
day, a grave, in which shall lie, In dream
less sleep, the beautiful and good. Then
shall the tree ward winters storms and
summers heat from of that grave, and
bend az in perpetual benediction,
above the silent dead" And 30,
through the chllls Of many winters and
the heats Of many summers, the tree
we plant to-day shall tremble In the

frees for q Young Orchard.

The most important point to observe
when setting out young orchard is to
secure strong and healthy trees. Many
fruitgrowers import diseases on their
farms at the time of purchasing their
young fruit stock. Trees one year old
will often thrive better than those that
are older, and they are also more easily
examined. Every tree should be care
fUlly inspected from the tips to the
roots and should be procured from
nurserymen known to be reliable.

THE ROCK-A-BY CHAIR.

OH the rock-a-by chair is a jolly old ship,
And Grandma's the captain and crew,
And she sings nice song al we start on our trip.
Though never have heard it quite through;
But it's all about Islands aud rivers and things,
And the treasures and dream-people there's
And this is the song that my grandmamma sings
In the wonderful rock-2-by chair:
"Oh a beautiful stream is the river of sleep,
And IT flows through the Kingdom of Nod;
And its current is broad and lis channel is
deep,
And its shores are so fair and so placid its
sweep,
And it flows from the footstool of God.
From the fountains and footstool of God
"There's marvellous isle up that river SO fair,
Where glow of eternity CLEANS;
And our hopes and our yearnings are realized
there,
And freedom from sorrow. and surcease of
care,
In the beautiful island of dreams.
In the misty mid-island of dreams.
.Oh, the faces so fair in that far away Isle,
And the treasures that never shall rust;
There are glimpses and CLEANS of the sweet af-
terwhile,
And the touch and the kiss and the vanishing
smile
OF lips that have crumbled to dust,
OF lips that have fallen to dust"
And this is her song, but don't know the resi-.
ASH never have heard 1t quite all;
For cuddle down close to my grandmamma's
breast
And my eyelids grow heavy and fall
But know that she sings about heaven and
God,
And the angels and everything there,
AS we journey away to the Kingdom of Nod,
In the wonderful rock-a-by chair.
