SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BREAD The
quicker bread rises the whittier it will be,
and it is far nicer to mold it on large
towel or an old table-cloth folded, with
q little -four sifted over it, than on a
molding board,
OYSTER ONELT.-Put over the fire
IN their own liquor pint of oysters;
let them come to a boil; skim them
out and let them get quite cold; then
cut up in small pieces. Make an
omelet, for this quantity of oysters, of
six eggs, four teaspoonfuls of -four
stirred in two cupfuls of milk, a pinch
Of salt, and a very little cayenne pep.
per; add the oysters, and fry in two
oLlelets; use butter to fry them in.
QUICK CAKE-One cupful of sugar,
one-half cupful of butter; Stir these to
a cream; add two eggs, one cupful of
milk, two cupfuls of sifted -four, one
half pound of raisins, one quarter of a
pound of citron.
SARATOGA POTATOES, Moons STYLE.
Raw Peachblows or Early Rose, slice
them very thin; put tine slices in ice
water over night, drain off the water,
and lay them evenly between linen
clothes, press until they are dry; have
the kettle of boiling clarified lard
ready for use; drop in the potatoes, q
few at time, aid with a skinner
take them out before they are Drowned.
They will be crisp, and are equally
coed whether cold or warm, and will
keep for long time.

The National Life Insurance Company
of the United States of Ame rica.

In marked contrast with the mn pleasant develop
ments that have appeared recently concerning GER
tain companies are glad 10 note the results of
official examination of this company. Although
having charter direct from Congress, il does not
attempt to dsayow its responsibility to State In
snrance laws.
By mutual agreement, on behalf of the State de
partments of New York, Massachusetts Pennsyi-
NanIa and Michigan, the Hon. Samuel III. Rowe, of
the latter state, commenced on January Sth rigid
examination of the books, assets aud liabilities II
this company. Commissioners Rowe assisted 10y
Prof. Watson, the well-known actuary, and '. II.
Lott, Esq.
The detailed examination continued without in
terruption until the 10th OF February. The results
are highly gratiiyin to the friends of the company
and the public generally. On the 18th instant the
company received from Commissioner Rowe a
newal of its authority to do business in Michigan,
together with his written assurance that he found
the company able to comply fully with the stringent
laws OF his State the entire reserve is invested in
United States bonds and first mortgages. On the
3lst of December, ls76, it had grand Surplus above
all lla hties of 81 as siJ It's receipts in 1870
ceeded its disbursements by over S3in,O0, although
Il paid in death claims nearly a quarter of mil
lion dollars. More perfect security could not be OF
fered to insurers. 1t is almost Unnecessary to say
that this company has nothing to do with the Ma
tionaI Capital Life Insurance Company OF the Dis
trict of Columbia. Unlike the latter concern, the
National Life Insurance Company of the United
States of America is not re-insuring other com
panies, and not responsible in any way for the liza
bilities or policies of the Republic Life Insurance
Company any other corporation.

Everlasting Fence Posts.

A correspondent of the Western Ru.
raj says:
{" discovered many years ago that
wood could he made to last longer
than iron in the ground, but thoug ht
the process so simple and inexpensive
that was not worth while making any
stir about it. l would as soon have
poplar, Eastwood or quaking ash as any
other kind of timber, for fence posts.
| have taken out Eastwood posts after
having been set set seven years, that
were as sound when taken up as when
they were first put in the ground. Time
and weather seems to have no effect on
them. The posts can be prepared for
less than two cents apiece. For the
benefit of others, will give you the
recipe: Take. boiled liuseed oil and
stir it in pulverized charcoal to the
consistency of paint. Put a coat of
this over the timber, and there is not q
man that will live to see it rotten"

Western Butter,

AT the recent meeting of the New
York State Dairymen's Association,
MIR. }. Nj. Peters, of the Grocer, New
York city, delivered an interesting and
valuable address on the Commercial
Aspects of the Dairy" That portion
of the address relating to western but.
ter was, we think, surprise to the but
ter-makers Of Chemung and the south
ern tier of counties. 1t will be remem.
bered that the butter-makers of the
west, or those representing their inter-
est, have, for some years past, taken
exception TO the manner In which but
ter Is classified by the trade in New
York.
Mr.. Peters says: "Of the improving
quality of Western butter there has
been constant evidence for the past
three years in the stocks received at
New York, and it has been manifest
that the product was every year en-
croaching more heavily upon the state
crop in ordinary channels of consump-
ton. The best products of the cream
cries and diaries of Iowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and other Western grazing
states, have entered into many of the
large southern and southwestern mar
kets, to the exclusion of state butter,
and have very much reduced what was
formerly an outlet from the New York
market for prime grade of state
goods"
Again he says: "Tne fine creamy
butter from the West always sells at
the highest market price, and 1 have
known the time, within the last year,
when it has exceeded the highest fig
ures from Orange county creamery
pals. But the finest goods do not come
largely to our market. They are
mostly used up in local consumption,
or are shipped directly to other points
where state butter was formerly used.
1t is very strong competition, gentle
men, and it is coming nearer home to
every yesT."
We have always insisted that the
proper way for Western dairymen to
get satisfactory prices in New York,
was in the improved quslity of their
goods, and not by dropping the name
of the locality where the goods were
made. The word Western" it would
appear, is likely to be distinctive title
to butter, which the dairymen of the
West will be glad to retain The CLASH e
cation of Eastern markets.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Breeds Of Cows.

Like sheep, swine and poultry, writes
I. B. Miner, in the World, il has never
been decided which breed of COWS is
the best, as dairymen differ in their
opinion in regard to the merits of diff
ferent breeds. The following quail
ties pertain to the four best breeds in
the United States.
Ayreshire.-Good size, a good feeder,
well adapted to hilly farms, produces a
great flow of milk Of ordinary richness,
making good butter and cheese; and as
dairy cow>is highly estimated.
Holstein.-This breed is of Dutch
origin, is larger than the Ayrshire, an
enormous eater, with very large flow
of milk, exceeding all other breeds, and
of good quality. This breed is better
for beef than the Ayrshire.
Short Hvrn.-This is the breed for
good beef, decidedly the best that ex-
lists; and the most beautiful il form of
all breeds; and in size about as large as
the Hohtein, but do not equal that
breed in that flow of milk. The Short
Horns are not adapted to billy farms
and short pastures, fourishing only
when highly fed.
Jersey.-This breed and the Alder
ney are now rated as the same breed.
They are small, and unfit for proGta-
bic beef. Their flow of milk is small,
but Of astonishing richness, making
two pounds of butter from the same
quantity of milk that makes but one
pound from other COWS. This breed is
mostly kept by men who want but one
or two cows, and prefer quality to
quantity in milk.
No farmer Or dairyman should
breed COWS pure, as it has been found
to be more profitable to breed grades,
and to have grades of different breeds
in the same dairy. The AYRSHIRE,
Holstein, or the Short Horns crossed,
make good dairy COWS; and a cross on
Jerseys makes COWS of great value.
