make the matter worse, a number OF farm

Fidelity company occupies o unique place
IN this line OF business. so that they have

Fight Between Whales.

The canal schooner H. G. Ely. of this
city, George Moore, of Delaware, master.
arrived yesterday with a cargo of lumber
from North Carolina. Mate John BEN
nett reported that when in Chesapeake
bay, of Point-no-point, on the afternoon
OF the. 18th, with a light breeze from the
westward, two whales were seen first on the
port bow, distant about a quarter of a mile,
iashlng the water into foam. AS the vessel
drew nearer 1t was seen that one vas about
80 feet in length, the other a little larger,
and that they were engaged
in q deadly combat. The whales would
rush at each other, sometimes striking
with their huge, square heads, but oftener
lodging the blows, and the smaller seemed
to have the best OF il. They sounded often
and as often as they came to the surface
they threw the water Is to 20 feet ipto the
air from their blow holes. When thew
came together the blows sounded like he
fall Of a pile driver, only not so clear. and
the thrashing of their tails threw the water
half masthead high. The crew Of the Ely
watched the combat for nearly half an
hour, during which the larger whale was
driven toward the shore.-Phitadelphia

THE DAIRY.
Truths.

Mr.. Joseph E. Miller, President of the
Southern Illinois Ds.sy Association, has
given some words in the Dairy column
that ore full of truth. He says:
When one goes through the country
| stores and sees the piles and boxes OF
poor, greasy looking butter, off in taste,
off in looks, and nearly all, Especially
at this time of the year, as white as the
paper on which this is written, and
| considers to what extent the finest gifts
of nature are annually wasted, amount
ing yearly to many millions of dollars,
We must certainly admit that there is
work, and as long as SO large a proper
| tion of the butter made in this country
comes from the farm and the private
diary, the great necessity of dairy liter
atnre of q kind that will enter these
homes must be apparent.
I claim nothing new for what 1 I'm
abont to say, but for reasons given,
consider that there is plenty of room
for the advice to be given. Now would
not the above mentioned butter, look
better, and perhaps by q little help from
the Imagination. taste better, with
little harmless butter color? Are net
those rolls of a fine straw color
picked out first? and the coloring
matter will cost but a mere triie to the
amount Of butter colored. Why then
not cater to the wants Of your customers
when il can be 50 easily and SO cheaply
done?
Another cause of the poor appearance
of q large percentage of farm butter is
the greasy look impaired to it by hand
ling and working it with the naked
hands. This is never done by good
butter makers. For small quantities use
q. wooden butter bowl and a wooden
paddle, for large quantities one Of the
many kinds of butter workers in use
will prove q good help and q great cons
v%enience, But We cannot hold q dis
Icriminating trade alone with appear
ances, The article.we supply must have
real merit, and one of the most grievoua
causes for not hayingstAis in so much of
oar country butter.sissthe want of pro-
per attention to Temperature and the
absence Of the thermometer in the farm
In the dairy, not even eleanlipess, than
Ia proper observation Of temperature,
l'commencing with that of the stable, and
from the time the milk leaves the COW,
until the butter appears upon the table.
O, what an amount of muscle can
sometimes be saved7by the use of little
brain.
Another canse of poop butter is that
of keeping the cream too long, or until
u is too old and sour. This often hap
pens where but few COWS are kept,
HENCE the cream is kept too long wait
ing for Q sufficient quantity to aecumu-

added just before c~hurning. This may
not make butter any worse, but there

If our farmer friends could be prevailed

A Plate of Stale Rraad.

When you make a bread pudding OF
your stale crusts, my dear young house
wife, you fancy you lave done an eco
nomical thing, although half the pud-
ding is thrown away, because John
doesn't like plain pudding. 1t would
be better economy to throw the bread
away instead of wasting your time in
making something no one wishes to eat.
Now, although NJ one need throw
away a plateful of stale bread, it is
sometimes the most economical thing to
do with it, especially in bot weather,
when it is apt to mold. At other times
pieces, and dry, not toast, it in the oven
when the fire is low. Then pound or
roll it rather fine, and put it in q paper
bag, which should be hung in a cool,
dry corner of your pantry. You will
find 1t very convenient to use in prepar-
ing scalloped oysters, meat, eggs, or to-
matoes for bread sauce, and many other
things.
The bread may be used In various
ways. IT the slices are not broken or
too thick, they make delicious Drowned
sandwiches. Spread each slice of bread
with chopped meat, cover with q slice
of bread, and press-together. Proceed
in this manner till all .the meat and
bread are used, aud cut each sandwich
in halves. Place them on a plate and
pour the milk and egg over them until
it is absorbed. Put a heaping teaspoon
full of butter on o large frying-pan, and
when it begins to brown place the sand
wiches carefully upon it: When nicely
Drowned add q little more butter and
turn them, letting them brown quickly
on the other side. Serve as soon as
possible. This makes a delicious break
fast dish, and may be used to advantage
to help out" a scapty dinner.
The stale slices of bread are often
used without the meat, just snaking
them in the egg and milk and browning
nicely. Indeed, "a plate of stale bread
is o perfect mine of culinary surprises.
