The military Importance of Sakhalin
has been much discussed. but with
reference to the real facts. Ja-
pan by the treaty is to get the south
ern half. A study of the geography
of the island seems to indicate that the
south half is the only part of any value
to japan because it gives her both
shores of La Perouse strait, a naviga-
BILE opening into the Sea Of Japan. The
opening at h north end of the island
is closed by ice nearly half the year
and from a military standpoint open
to armies from the mainland. The
possession of it therefore would not
enable Japan's navy to defend 1t as
England covers the British channel.
Moreover, it has a depth Of only about
fifteen feet, and therefore can never
serve Russia as a navigable opening
to Eaaatwostok and her Japan sea
ports. BY regaining the south half of
SalSf1a1in Japan puts herself in possess
sion of every opening into this Pacific
Mediterranean for any vessels of any
size. If Komura and his confreres got
for the north half Of this island,
seem to hav made a good bar.

that Japan's annual profits from the

fish is the national food in Japan, and
since the beginning Of the war they
had to get it from the Formosa and

agricultural products are rice, mulber-

WHITE sPEcks IN BUTTER.
In reply to query. Hoards has the

LII reply 10 query, HOardS has the
following:
The cause of white specks In butter
is usually overripe cream. When cream
s0urs too far before churning, the curd
in the can is hardened by the con-
inued souring and contracted into
white specks which may be re-
tanned In the butter if not removed by
washing. AS a rule, butter of this sort
Is o commonly made in farm dairies
than In creameries, because at the
farm dairy. cream Is collected for sew
eral days and the first lot OF cre1lil Is
likely to be very SOU before the mix
ture of several days cream is churned.
This separates the curd and although
1t is mixed quickly and thoroughly
through he cream during churning,
the harder specks are apt to be left in
the granular butter and not washed
with the buttermilk.
Butter made from cream containing
this kind OF curd can be freed from
these white specks by washing the
granular butter in the following way:
When the butter breaks and the gran

churn about half full with cold water.
reyoive it a few times and let the churn
until h granular butter rises to
the surface of the water; the curd be-
ing heavier han the butter will sink to
the bottom n may be drawn off
through the draining plug at the bot
tom OF the churn. BY repeating the
washing OF the granular butter in this
way, n can separate the hard specks
Of curd very readily and thus prevent
their appearance in the finished butter.

Rearing Calves on the Cow.
By w. r. Gilbert.

Rearing calves by allowing them to
suck from the mother is a system
detrimental to the COW as Tar as her
Milking properties go, and particularly
is this h ase with heifers- Many
rearers of cattle allow the heifer to
rear her first calf either at pasture or
IN winter time in the straw yard. I'm
Willingly, a great mischief is done to
the mother. with reference to her fu-
ture as a dairy cow, n in proportion
to the length Of time the calf is allowed
to suck, and to the size and it's gen.
eral robustness is the injury done to
the heifer. If the calf be small and
weakly, it will most probably not take
all the milk the mother may supply,
and so instead of the supply increasing,

hand, If the salt be a strong, we'll de
