o grains of salt. Tho same effect could
- bo produced by mixing any other

butter fat. A third test showed that
the unequal distribution of the salt
t could not alone produce mottling,
for well -washed butter in niterta-
d live layers with salt showed no
mottles. Analysis of plugs of but-
°; ter made under conditions producing
• marked mottling, showed the salt
to be very uniformly distributed and
s 'lar plugs of unmottlod butter
showed wide variations, so that dis-
tribution of the salt cannot, tie the
cause of the trouble. Yet salt roust

unsalted butter, whether made ex-
perimentally at the station or com-
mercially in dairies and creameries,

found both by taste and analysis
that in mottled butter the whitish
s mottles contain less salt than the
darker portions.

therefore, unless the greatest care is
used, more or loss buttermilk will
bo left in the butter, and when the
butter is worked this white sub-
stance is spread and drawn into the
streaks, clouds and spots known as
mottles. The mottling does not
show itself immediately, since the
salt takes some time to produce its
greatest effect. It, however, the
buttermilk be thoroughly removed,
from the butter fat, there will be no
mottling, no matter how irregularly
the salt be distributed, for there will
then be nothing present for the salt
to act upon. There aro no mottles
in well -washed huttcr.
On the other hand, mottling will
not take place unless salt is added,
for the substance does not harden
and become localized unlsss salt is
present, but remains in suspension in
the buttermilk. The secret then in
controlling mottles, is to get rid of
the buttermilk by churning to fine
granules and by thorough washing.
The acidity of the buttermilk sloes
not influence the trouble.
Churning at higher temperatures
favors the production of larger
masses of huttcr and makes the re-
moval of the buttermilk less easy.

EGGS 1•'Olt IIATCiIING.
If eggs are desired for nae in incu-
bation it is better to select those
frons hens rather than front pullets.
Eggs from hens are more reliable,
for the reason that the hen is fully
tnatured, and has completed her
growth, while the pullet is itself an
immature hird—a largo chick—and
not fully capable of imparting the
hardiness, vigor and stamina that
comae from tile parent that is fully
and completely matured in every
respect. In experiments made with
hens and pullets it was found that.
while the - eggs of pullets hatched
fully as well as those front hens, yet
a larger proportion of chicks froiu
pullets' eggs died. Another point
bo careful of buying. When ,ono
buys his hens or pullets he may have
to procure them from various sourc-
es, and in so doing he also buys dis-
ease and lice. Raise your pullets, if
possible, and then you will havo
them of some kind of breeding. Nev-
er bring a strange fowl on the place,
and you will he safer from disease.
lice and other difficulties. Use eggs
to, hatching from the best birds of
the flock, and the flock will be im-
proved every year.
WORICiNU HORSES.
Tho teams need and deserve special
care when work is the hardest. Like
the man, the horse is at his beat
only when he eats and sleeps well,
an 1 feels comfortable in general. A
team at heavy work require s liberal
feeding. Feed with good, mixed hay
anti at regular hours, three times a
day. A little green food given after
work is over will do no harm. Add
a little salt. A full hour should be
allowed for the noon meal. Card
and bruah daily and sponge shoul-
ders after the day's work. Chafed
places should be washed and rubbed
with vaseline or tar ointment. A
piece of strong gum plaster will pro-
tect a sore place from further wear.
The cause of saddle galls may be
removed by side padding and raising
the saddle. Collars cause much
strain when plowing and hauling
heavy leads, and they should fit
well and be fully padded. in ease of
sores under the collar, use instead a
breast strap for awhile.

COUNTRIES DON'T SPEAK
WHEN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
ARE BROKEN.
Incidents That Cause Ambassa-
dors to Pack Their
Trunks.
"Rupture of diplomatic relations"
has an ominous sound in the ears of
the average man. Ile connects it
with declarations of war, and, to a
certain extent, ho is right. When
the soldier takes a hand in the Ito
tertal Tonal game, it Is quito obvious
that the diplomat is out of place,
and there is nothing for him to do
but to pack his trunks, and set out
for the frontier. But not soldom
bas Great Britain found it necessary
to withdraw her Ambassadors and
Ministers from foreign capitals when
offence has been given, not necessar-
ily justifying war, but not to be
altogether passed over. The na-
tions simply "didn't speak" for e
time,
For six months John Bull and his
brother Jonathan were not on
speaking terns owing to an indis-
cretion of Lord Sackville, then our
Minister at Washington; 0 was be-
fore the days when our representa-
tive in the United States wes raised
to the dignity of an Ambassador. A
Presidential Election campaigns was
raging with its usual fury in the
States, and the undiplomatic diplo-
mat who represented Great Britain
was

to express an opinion on tho merits
of the contest, in reply to a corre-
spondent. But, alaek! the corre-
spondent was a crafty and unscrupu-
lous newspaper man, and Lord Snck-
ville's letter was published far and
wide.
Mr. Bayard, tho Atnerican Secre-
tary of State (afterwards, curiously
enough, Ambassador in London),
made haste to hand our representa-
tive his passports—in the time-hon-
ored phrase—intitnating that his
prrs.•nco in Washington was no long-
er acceptable to tho United States
Gover nunent. The British Govern-,
meat marked its displeasure by re-
fusing
o-fusing to appoint Lord Sackville's
successor for a period of six months.
A terrible scare was created when
M. Dronyn do Lhuys, the French
Ambassador, was withdrawn from
London some years ago. But there
was no Anglo-French War; for in a
very few weeks the good Ambassa-
dor was back at his post, and we
find him at Harrow School deliver-
ing a discourse on 'Spe eh Day."
The cause of the short-lived quarrel
was the well -meant. e&Tortof tho
French Government to tnediatu in a
quarrel between Great Britain and
Greece. At first the offer was ac-
