Burgeon Ktndleberger and Pnytnaater Load Describe the Fnmoaa Fight—The Spaniard* Fought Bravely, Even After the Last Veatlge of Hope Was Gone. Among the passengers who arrived at San Francisco, Cal., a few days ago, on the Belgio from Hongkong were four men who participated in the bat tle of Manila on May 1. They are Paymaster O. A. Loud, of the despatch boat McCulloch; Dr. Charles P. Kindleberger, surgeon of the Olympia; Ralph Phelps, secretary to the Captain of the McCulloch, and J. C. Evans, gunner of the Boston. They left Manila on May 6. Dr. Kin dleberger and Gunner Evans are going home on account of expiration of their sea time. They all speak of the valor and de termination of their opponents in the battle. They say the Spaniards fought bravely, even after the last vestige of hope had gone, and stayed by their guns as long as they could be used. Dr. Kindleberger gives a graphic ac count of the battle. He was on the Olympia through it all. In the flrst assault the flagship took the lead, the other vessels following in her wake at four ships’ lengths. The Spanish fleet was approached by laps, each turn bringing the coutestants nearer. By this plan the American vessels fre quently poured broadsides’ into the enemy, but were themselves more ex posed to fire. At one time the smoke became so dense that it was necessary to draw aside to allow it to lift. The vessels were examined, and it was found that they had sustained no dam age. Breakfast was served to the men, and in a few minutes they re-entered the fight with the greatest enthusiasm. The second fight was oven more fierce than the first. It was iu that the Bal timore was struck. During the first fight the Spanish Admiral’s ship put bravely out of the line to meet the Olympia. The entire American fleet concentrated its fire on her, aud she was so badly injured that she turned aronnd to put back. At this juncture the Olympia fired an 8-inch shell which struck her stern and pierced through almost her entire length, exploding finally in the engine room, wrecking her machinery. This shell killed the captain and sixty men and set the vessel on fire. In the heat of the fight two torpedo boats moved oat to attack the fleet. They were allowed to come within 800 yards, and then a fusillade from lh% Olympia sent one to the bottom with all on board, and riddled the other, which was later foutd turned up on the beach, covered with blood. In the second fight the Baltimore was sent to silence the fort at Cavite. She plunged ip to a cloud of andopeqj^Aila^ few and the fort blew up With a deafening roar. The work on the Baltimore was glo rious. After the principal Spanish ships had been destroyed the Concord, Ra leigh and Petrel, being of light draught, were sent close in to dispose of the remaining vessels, and they made quick work of it. In taking possession of the land forts several hundred wounded Span iards fell into the hands of the Amer icans, and nearly 200 dead were ac counted for on the spot. Holes in which numbers had been hastily bur ied were found. The dead were re turned to relatives so far as possible, and the wounded were cared for in the best manner by the American sur geons. The Spanish loss footed up 400 killed aud GOO wounded, with a prop erty loss of anywhere from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000. The day of the fight was clear and hot, not a breath of air was stirring. At the close of the flrst battle the Americans were suffering greatly from the heat, and the rest aud breakfast allowed them by the Commodore was of inestimable benefit. While the men were at breakfast a conference of all the officers was held on board the Olympia, when the plan of the second battle was made known by the Com modore. Several shots struck the Olympia and she was was pierced a number of times. One shell struck the side of the ship against the hospital ward. The chaplain and nurses, who were watching the fight through a port-hole a few inches away, were stunned by the concussion. Experts have figured out that the fighting volume of the guns of the re spective sides of the battle was 3 for the Americans against 7 for the Spanish. It is clear, then, that our superiority was in the ships and the men, the latter having the experience and nerve. Gnnuer Evans, of the Boston, di rected the fire of one of the big guns. Not a man on the Boston received a scratch. Paymaster Load, who was on the McCulloch during the battle, was a witness of events on both sides. From his position he could see every movement of the American ships and could also see the Spaniards. “For two hours,” said Mr. Loud, “the steady thunder of cannon was kept up. The roar was terrible. At one time I really thought we would be beaten. This was after the fire had been kept up an hour. It looked as if every gun on the Spanish ships had been turned loose on us altogether, and the shore line was a veritable blaze of fire from the batteries. The din was simply indescribable. Tons upon tons of shot fell over our ships. There was steel enough to have sunk our entire fleet. “Our salvation was in the bad marksmanship of the Spaniards. They I handled their pieces like ehildrei j Nearly all of their shots went wid Moat of them flew over the fleet i fell into the bey beyond. Soma the betteries, however, were hot trained. Several gnus maintained raking fire on the fleet Nearly e| of our ships were struck by large and small shot, bat no damagjj of consequence was done. “There will be no difficulty in hole ing Manila and the Philippines. Com I plete subjugation of the Spaniel forces in the group will be acoomi plished without trouble and with ve little danger to American life. WISE WORDS. Neglect bolts the door of oppor tunity.

No exceptions were made, and when a Spanish fleet of 160 sail, escorting Philip of Spain to his marriage with Qneeu Mary of England, met twenty- eight English ships under Howard and failed to salute the English colors, Lord Howard ordered decks cleared and sent a round shot crashing into the vessel of the Spanish Admiral.

The business of dairying has many advantages not always appreciated by those engaged in it. They are in clined to take notice of the pleasing matters in the experience of those en gaged in other lines of agriculture or other ocoupatious and to dwell upon the disadvantages of their own voca tion. J J. W. Newton, of Vermont, snmi up the advantages of dairying as fol lows: 1. The first advantage of dairying is that it takes less fertility from the soil than other branches of farming. A ton of wheat takes $7 oat of the farm and sells for less than $16. A ton of but ter takes fifty cents' worth of plant food from the farm and sella from $400 to $600. Comment is needless. 2. Butter is a condensed product. Nothing can be made or grown on the farm which brings as ranch per pound. Farmers remote from the market and communities far I from railroad3 can send butter from the farm or creamery with the least possible expense.

An erudite Egyptian writes in the Revile dez Revnes of the diet of the ancient Arabs. Dog meat, it appears, was One of their favorite dishes, and young dogs were as precious iu old timed among the Arabs as spring chickens are among the people of to day. ! They were also fond of cat meat] The flesh of a black cat had the v rtuo of caring them of the effects of a 1 oodoo and the evil eye. Fried grass toppers and scorpions also formed a ver; choice dish. The naturalist, Al-Dj they, who lived in the tenth cen tury, ipeaks of his visit to the Ara- nian tribes of Rassorah and of his sur prise pn discovering that they did not eat grasshoppers. “Nevertheless,’* says he, “there is nothing more deli- cious.r He also says that when he went Fisee his friend, the poet Roobah, he foiaul him seated on the ground enjoying a repast of roast vat.

The practical part of cream-ripen ing is this: Keep your vessel so that it -may all ripen evenly, and thus avoid loss in churning. Raise the temperature to sixty-two or sixty- eight degrees and keep it as near that temperature as possible until ripe, aud then cool before churning. Well-ripened cream should be coagu lated or thickened. It should run from a height in a smooth stream, like oil. When a paddle is dipped into it and held in the hand, it should stick all over in a thick, even coat, not run ning off in streaks and showing the surface of the paddle. When the last drops run off the paddle back into the vat they should leave little dents or depressions on the surface which do not close up for an instant. The cream should have a satin gloss or fresh surface. Churn until the grannies are the size of wheat kernels, then draw off the buttermilk and wash through two or three waters, whirliug the churn a few times around. Use from a pint to a quart of water per pound of but ter. Have the water at a temperature of forty to forty-five degrees in hot weather and from fifty to sixty-two de grees iu winter, always depending upon season, solidity of the batter, warmth of the room and size of the granules. If you do not care about feeding the washings I would put some salt in my flrst wash water. It will help to float the grannies better and perhaps dissolve out the casein to some extent. I would generally salt the butter in the churn.—Cornell Agricultural College Bulletin. Picking Duck*. Duck feathers alway bring a fair price, especially white ones, and should be saved when dressing the ducks, if they are sold dressed; if uot sold dressed do not pick jnst before selling. The amount received for the feathers ought to pay for the dressing. The breeding docks may be picked several times a year, generally fonr to six. Do not pick until the feathers are “ripe,” which can be told by pull ing a few from different parts of the bodies of several birds. If they come out easily, without auy bloody fluid iu the quill, they are all right and should be “picked” or many will be lost. In i picking pnll only a few feathers at a time by taking between the thumb j and forefinger and giving a quick, downward jerk.

The man who sells crops « any kind has to wait nntil he can mar ket his product one year. There is little satisfaction in this. It is un businesslike to go without cash for weeks and then to have a lot of money come iu at one time. The dairyman has an income nearly or quite fifty- two weeks in the year. fi. Dairying gives constant, remu nerative employment. The grain or potato grower must spend a large part of the year in enforced and demoraliz ing idleness, hut the dairyman finds profitable work through the year, and his work is most profitable during the winter time. 6. On the dairy farm the work is better divided. The grain harvest comes so close to haying that it often gets mixed up with it, to the detri ment of both; but when corn is grown and put into silo for dairy feed, aud not so much or no grain raised, the harvests ace several weeks apart.— New York Witness. Farm Note*. Turnips and beets are good for hogs, and are especially good for breeding sows, before and after farrowing. For horses, carrots are prime. Always have something to make a variety ia the feed. Most of the large western orchard ists are practicing close setting and cutiing out afterwards, planting the apple- trees fifteen feet apart and removing the alternate trees when they begin to get crowded. Farming is ascienoe, and the farmer who expects to meet with success must necessarily apply scientiflo principles and not think because he is the pos sessor of some mother earth that he knows it all. Give changes of feed to the cows as often as you can without lessening the nutritive quality of the ration, as you thus maintain a good appetite and the better production which is sure to come from full feeding. With a well-stocked farm there is a home market for a good supply of roots, and if any are grown for market ing by the bushel, the home market may well take the place of any other when the price is low. Whatever your breeding stock, se lect good heifers for tbe dairy, and then bring them up to the highest state of development possible in milking qualities as they come to take their places in the working dairy. If the farm is large enough to di* vide, better share it with the children as they mature than to drive them off to other fields.
