White spec1xs in Butter.

Inc usual cause of white specks in
butter is keeping the cream too long
before churning, so that the milk,
which is skinned off with the cream.
Wheys and. in churning is separated
into white specks. In summer, unless
one is careful about keeping the cream
cold, the milk in it will change in two
or three days. The specks seem to
come more frequently, however, in cold
than In warm weather. In this case
it may be from some particles Of the
cream drying up hard. Then, too, the
milk yield is much less in winter with
most farmers, than in summer. and
the cream is kept two or three times
as long before churning, which gives
it chance to dry around the sides
and edges of the cream pail. The
thing to do is to churn often. before
the white specks have time to form.
But even then it is not always possible
to prevent their forming. With a bar
rel or box churn the churn should be
stopped just as the butter has gather
ed in grains the size of wheat kernels.
By. drawing off the buttermilk and
washing several times most of the
specks may be washed out. They
come out just before the butter grains.
There is no danger of washing out the
butter flavor. You may wash out the
flavor of the buttermilk, but YOU can
not take out the real flavor Of the but
ter. If you think so, just feed the
cows a few onions and then try5s to
wash the onion flavor out of the milk.

Two Handy Root Cuttars

/ used in the old country two kinds
OF very handy cutters. Beets were

for 100 cattle in twenty minutes. The
knife, a, was 6 by 10 inches, and the

the beets were dumped on the floor
