Potatoes for Egg.

A mess Of two-thirds boiled potatoes |
and one-third meal and bran is recon-
mended as a good food for laying hens
in Practical Poultryman, which says:
Owing 10 the immense quantity of
potatoes raised last year and the cheap
ness at which they could be bought,
we thought il advisable 20 try the use
of them as a steady diet for fowls.
We have seen them advocated as a
once-s-week ration with good results,
but didn't know what The result would
be il fed daily. Some thought it would
be failure; we were told there was
too much starch in potatoes for a steady
diet and that the continual feeding of
same would result in cholera; but de-
termined to try it, we did. The day
before they were wanted to feed, were
placed in kettle on the stove and
there allowed to cook and boil until
they were soft and mealy. In the
morning they were again placed on the
stove and thoroughly heated through.
They were then mashed and enough
water left in to make the mess very
thin. It was then thickened with
meal and bran until of the right tex
ture, making about two-thirds potatoes
and one-third meal and bran. The
fowls were perfectly ravenuous over it
and other food would hardly be
touched if given all they wanted of
the potatoes. A good big feed of this in
the morning snfficed for the day, but
they were also given light feed Of
grain at night. The diet was kept up
all winter AMI now no heavier weigh
ing lot of birds of the same breed can
be found in any mans yard.
White specks in Butter.
Notifies in butter and white specks
are sometimes COMPOUNDED, and by
some are considered the same, but there
is difference. Notified or streaky
butter has been explained as being
caused by an unequal distribution OF
the salt; but white specks" have a
different cause or causes. Sometimes,
when the milk is set in shallow pans,
they result from the cream drying Oh
top, SO there are small portions that
are SO hard they do not churn into but
ter. These particles do not take the
color like the rest of the butter, anG
the "specks" are thus caused This
may be remedied by carefully strain
ing the cream when it is put into the
churn.
Another cause of white specks" i,
this: When some milk is SKINNED
off with the cream, as is usually donC
, in the case of deep cold-setting, thit
milk settles to the bottom, gets over
Iipe, and forms a curd, which will b,
so hard as not to break up in churninl
and will not run off with the butter
milk, but will remain with the butte
, as white specks," as they are some
3 times called. This can be remedied b.
not letting the cream stand so long be
) fore churning, or by frequent an
s thoyough stirring of the cream durinj
5 the process of ripening. These hard
S white PARTICLES can also be taken on
by straiDing the cream.
o Notified, streaked or speckled butte
will not sell we'll in market; there

No Longer Any Need so Go Through
Europe with Them.
Up to times within the memory of

Travelled through Europe without O
courier. Before railroads were built
and before goodguide books were print
ed, he was almost indispensable. His
tribe survives, writes Herbert Lucedhs
Going Abroad, but in greatly dimihA
ished numbers. To the ~self-feliant
traveller he is of no use whatever. InAi
deed, he is frequently a positive in
cumbrance, and worse. To my mind,
n of the great pleasures Of travel il
in learning to travel by myself. There
is satisfaction, pleasure and education
in planning routes, decipheTing time
tables, making bargains, learning by
observation the lay Of the land.
The time may have been when a cour-
icr could I'VE d traveller more than his
cost. Most certainly that is not the case
now. On the contrary, as he getsa peri
centage OF every purchase his party
makes (Which, Of course, comes out of.
the purchaser in increased price), and
as it is often for his interest to advise
the more costly route, the more scstly
hotel. or the more costly excursion, he
eats up much more than his wages,
while saving positively Nothing. Bean
declares that in "a two weeks trip in
southern Spain, which he made side by
side with q couple having a courier, he
invariably reached the hotel first, got
better rooms, saw al the sights to as
good advantage; yet the courier was
of his kind an expert. The fact is that
travel has become so general, tourist
companies, railroads andlandlords have
so well studied its needs, books are SO
plentiful, that you couldn't very well
get off the track or have a mishap ifyou
tried.
