What is a speckled ax?
The speckled ax was mentioned in The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. In it he writes about his "bold and arduous project of arriving at moral perfection": "This arti…cle, therefore cost me so much painful attention and my faults in it vexed me so much, and I made so little progress in amendment, and had such frequent relapses that I was almost ready to give up the attempt, and content myself with a faulty character in that respect, like the man who, in buying an ax from a smith, my neighbor, desired to have the whole of its surface as bright as the edge. The smith consented to grind it bright for him if he would turn the wheel; he turned while the smith pressed the broad face of the ax hard and heavily on the stone which made the turning of it very fatiguing. The man came every now and then from the wheel to see how the work went on and at length would take his ax as it was, without further grinding. No, said the smith, turn on, turn on; we shall have it bright by and by; as yet, it is only speckled. Yes, says the man, but I think I like a speckled ax best . And I believe this may have been the case with many who, having, for want of some such means as I employed, found the difficulty of obtaining good and breaking bad habits in other points of vice and virtue, have given up the struggle, and concluded that a speckled ax was best⦠" (p.82, The Autobiography of Ben Franklin; Bantam Books, 1982.) The speckled ax is an allegory. The ax stands for the individual and the speckling for the little flaws in all of us. (MORE)

This breed is known as the Carcas…s breed, producing high quality carcasses without a thick layer of outer fat and high quality marbling.

Why and how was the Speckle Park breed created?
The Speckle Park breed originated from a red roan heifer that threw calves of the same color pattern no matter what bull she was bred to. It is supposed that this cow (then ow…ned by Mary Lindsay) is descended from the Teeswater Shorthorn and sired by a bull with the White Park colouration. The offspring of this cow caught the attention of Bill and Eillen Lamont, and subsequently were bought and bred to Angus bulls. The resulting calves varied in colour patterns from white with black points to leopard to black sided with speckled hips, white top and underline and roan faces. The Lamonts took interest in the colour patterns of these calves and decided to start the Speckle Park breed. So as to "why" Speckle Park was created, it is more about the colouration, but it was also because this breed excelled in terms of maternity and calving ability, excellent gains on grass, and a very quiet nature, among other things.

What are the clues of the adventure of the speckled band?
Julia Stoner had mentioned that she could smell Dr Roylott's cigarsfrom her room, which foretold a communication between Julia'sbedroom and Dr Roylott's. Julia mentioned a spe…ckled band as her dying words. The gipsies who were always present on the plantation. The gradual decline of the family fortune over many generations,and the will that allowed each of the step-daughters a largeportion of the stipend should they marry. The sounds of the whistle and the metallic clang. Seemingly unnecessary repairs were started on Helen Stoner'sbedroom after she announced her wedding engagement forcing her tosleep in the room where her twin sister had died of fright twoyears earlier. The room was truly sealed for Holmes could not open the shutteredwindows from the outside, and the door had been locked on theinside. The bed was clamped to the floor while the bell-pull was truly justa rope that was fastened at the ceiling and ended on the pillow. The chair in Dr Roylott's room had several traces of foot-marks onthe seat. The saucer of milk and the whip cord with a small loop on one end. (MORE)
