White Specks in Butter.

Il. G. Bennett, OF Eptomist, says:
The white Bpecks In butter are due to
poor ripening Of the cream. Some OF
the cream has "wheyed on and decom-
posed, and the casein has gathered In
clots and The whey has separated from
the cream. These elots 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 ereamerles there are times
when these colorless clots form. and
the sure way to do is to strain the
cream into the churn. Then the
do not get into the churn. Then the
cIots DO not get into the churn and are
not found In the butter.

LEARN TO LABOR AND WAIT.

For the lessons Of life
They are many and stern:
And the hardest to learn
Is not masterful strife
For king or a state.
II is only-to wait.
Youth is eager to start
On the ocean alone,
Ere his strength be full-grown
And though Age from his leart
May OF perils inform.
Still he thirsts for the storm.
III his courage be high
He may struggle along
And by sorrow grow strong,
May allot him life's prize
On this SIDE of the skies.
But the many that strive
For the laurels must fail;
And full many sail
AT Deaths port shall arrive,
That could enter joys gate
Would It's master but wait.

About Hens

A correspondent writes as follows.--
Last fall built chicken house on
a side-hill and put 1t three feet from
the ground AS soon as the chickens
were transferred to il they ceased to
lay. | fed them corn morning and
night and meat scraps from the table
Please tell me why the fowls viii not
lay?' In reply to this oft-repeated
question the answer is again given,
first, frequently, in fact usually. the
removal of laying hens TO a new place
will cause them to stop laying for
time. Again, a vast majority of hens
do lay In winter. and such rs do rarely
begin to lay after the weather becomes
cold. Corn should not be fed to laying
hens oitener than once day, and then
only for the evening meal. An almost
exclusive corn diet is bad one at any
time for egg production; there should
be a greater variety and less corn.
Spring is the natural season for egg
laying. 10 get eggs in the winter all
the conditions must be favorable, aud
with old fowls and such as are late In
moulting no matter how well fed, you
may be weeks without eggs. Only
well-developed early pulets, about ten
months old or Matched not later than
March, can be at all depended on for
winter laying, and when such begin
before winter sets in they usually prove
good layers q; a season when eggs are
scarce and dear

Potato disease. This subject of pota-
to disease prevention or cure Is SO sea
snnable just now that II Il we'll
worth while 10 call attention to The
best method Of preparing the Bogleaux
mixture. In many cases the remedy
aus proved Il failure because the mas
terials OF which IL was composed were
rot good, Sometimes the sulphate of
copper has been impure, and some
times the lime has bsen bad The po-
tatp-grower should take care to get
blue vltriol, and to have freshly burnt
Guick-lime. Then, ii is important to
be careful In dissOlying and mixing The
ingredients. and In this respect the
plan adopted by the Royal Agricultural
society may be recommended for iml-
tation. The sulphate Of copper was put
i'll bag, which was susl ended IN cold
water, contained In wooden vessel,
al night was con- pletely dissolved. The
lime was slowly slaked with warer,
and, when cool, was poured into the
bluestono solution through u sieve, TO
keep out any humps or stones in it, ana
the LIQUID was well stirred while The
lime was being added. The solution
after mixture, should be blue In color
If II Is blackish, 1t Ii a sign that the
bluestone has been aduterated with
sulphate of iron, In the English OK
periments 90 pounds OF sulphate OF
copper, 10 pounds of lime, and 100 gal
Ions II water were the ingredients, but
the mixture which has given the best
results in France and Belgium Is one
OF 20 pounds Of sulphate Of "copper" 20
pounds Of lime, and 20 pounds Of mo-
asses to 100 gallons of water The
quantity Of lime should be equal to that
of the sulphate, In order to render The
mixture harmless to vegetation, and
the molasses Is found valuable for max
ing the stuff stick TO the foliage in
stead of being washed off by the first
fall ofrain. The quantity of the mix
ture necessary varies with the density
Of the foliage from 60 to l15 gallons TO
the acre. II is usually applied with
a knapsack distributor These direc-
tons will suffice for growers who have
not previously made themselves
familiar with the subject, but who In
tend TO try the remedy this season.
