KEEPING Cows VS.. FATTBNING CATTLE.-A
Putnam county farmer, who for many years
kept milk dairy for the New York market,
but finally turned his attention to fattening
cattle, says: "My experience is, that can
fat bullock upon less feed than will keep a
mich COW up to full measure Of milk" He
prefers the Hereford, for the shamble to any
other breed no has tried, and the Ayrshires,
for milking purposes. Selling milk compared
to selling beef wears much harder on farm.
In the latter case rich food produces rich ma
nure, which, applied to the soil, increases its
fertility in the former, it goes to the pro.
duction Of milk, which, after a time, so de-
prves pastures Of the bone material, that
cows must be fed with bone dust to supply
it's place, or the grass dressed with bone ma.

New YoRK, Nov. 2.-There have been no
serious fights thus far. The Republican vote
predomlnates in the upper wards. Horace
E. Clark will have heavy majority. Other
districts are doubtful.

knocked down by the Walbridge men, while
protecting some United States soldiers in
voting for Sickles. The police force was in.
creased and quiet after time restored.
In the 18th Ward, the Mackerville boys

ballot boxes and produced pistols freely, but
no personal violence occurred.
Some small tights occurred during the day
in other wards, but nothing serious. AS a
whole, the election passed off more peaceably
than usual.

The American AgricuHurist asserts that the
great secret of the success of nine out of ten
of the washing fluids, mixtures, and ma

to the inherent qualities of the articles them
selves as to the process of soaking which they
invariably recommend. If people, pursuing
the old-fashion system of wasuing, would
simply take the precaution to throw all the
clothing to be washed mao water ten or tif.
