messed curious struggle between mink and
an eel. The mink had the eel in his mouth, but

twisting himself loose escaped into the water.
Mr. Thorn shot and killed the mink, which
proved to be a very old one, from the fact that
his teeth were much worn. If they had been
as sharp as they were in his youth, the eel could
not have escaped. The mink measured 201S
inches in length, from the end of mis- nose to the
tip Of his tail, the latter being inches long.

A FINE DAIRY.--One of the most complete
and thoroughly equipped dairies of the county
is that of Mr.. Isaac H. Thompson, near Darling
ton. Mr.. Thompson has from 25 10 80 cows,
and makes all the year around from IS to 1926
lbs. Of 'gilt-edged" butter per week. The
whole of 1t is regularly taken by public insti.
tuition near Philadelphia. Mr. Thompson's
COWS are mostly grade Jerseys, which he thinks
preferable, for dairy purposes, to pure-bred, al
though he has some OF the latter. His bulls are
registered Jerseys. He uses the Cooley cream
er, and regards it as unsurpassed by any Other
in use.
