Spotty Butter.-Sometimes impurlty
in the salt will make the butter spotty
this disfguring being the effect OF
lime in the salt, and this is common
impurity in the cheap kinds of salt.
The lime in salt Of course will exist
mostly as chloride, and this will have
the very worst effect on the butter,
bleaching it in patches or streaks, and
giving a soapy texture or flavor to
it. Sometimes there is gypsum in the
salt, and this has, as I have found, the
effect of making round spots in the
mass of butter wherever there is a
speck of this sulphate of lime. There
cannot be too great care taken to pro-
cure the purest kind of salt for dairy
use: and it should be ground as fine
as flour. so that if any impurity does
exist in it, it may be evenly spread
through the butter, and thus the color
escape injury. Hard water, too, is not
fit for washing the butter, on account
of the impurities in it being mostly
lime or gypsum, both of which, as said,
are injurious to the butter color.-Ex.

Effect of Light on Butter.-Light has
an effect on the butter color. The dairy
in which the butter is kept while MAX
ing or resting and for the final working
should be darkened by shades, so as to
avoid this effect. Or the butter should
he protected by cover impregnable to
the light. The light has bleaching
effect. and this is especially marked
when the butter is put away in
gashed or f1aky condition, by which one
side of the flakes is exposed to light
and the other side is in the shade. My
practice has always been to cover the
butter in the bowl with doubled tow
ell to protect it from the light, how
ever dull it may be.-Ex.

The foot ball game between the Owosso and
Saginaw teams yesterday was close and ex-
citing contest which became most exciting
when the game was nearly finished.
In the first half Owosso kicked off and stopped
the ball on its way back we'll toward Saginaw's
goal line. The ball was kept in Saginaw's ter
ritory and In a short time was pushed over for
the first touchdown. Owosso then kicked an
easy goal.
Saginaw then turned the tables, playing but q
few minutes in Owosso's territory before their
full back got around the end Of the Owosso line
and sprinted down the field for touchdown.
Saginaw then failed to kick just such goal as
Owosso had kicked few minutes before. The
playing was in Saginaw territory when time
was called. Score to in Owosso's favor.
In the second half after playing in Saginaw's
territory for while, during which pretty run
for a long gain was made by Shanafelt, the Sag
inaw players secured the ball and forced the
playing into Owosso's territory, keeping it with
in few yards of the goal line during the last
few minutes Darkness and the inconsiderate
closeness OF the spectators who crowded up
close behind the players, made both play and
decisions dificult but time was finally called
with the ball still inside the goal line, leaving
the score as at the end of the first half, to in
Owosso's favor
This game gives the championship of the Sag
inaw valley to the Owosso team, an honor which
1t has fairly earned.
In spite Of the rain and mud enough tickets
we're sold for the game to make up the deficit Of
twenty dollars incurred at the previous game
and leave about twenty-five dollars to the credit
OF the High School plano fund.
