Fat.ening Cattle on Grass.

Too many of our farmers seem to lie
of the opinion that if they buy their
cattle and turn them out to grass, moth
ing need be done until they are fat; and
that the great point is to have as many
as they can possibly keep.
This branch of farming, like all others,
needs experience, and will pay for more
attention than it generally receives. In
most cases as soon as the cattle are turn
ed out in the spring, they are allowed
to have the whole range of all the pas
ture fields at their will. This is a mis-
take; they sheuld not be allowed to roam
about iu this manner, but should be
controlled. They should be changed
from field to field every two or three
days.
Cattle, like all other animals, like a
change of food: nor is this the only adj
vantage; by contining them to one field
or portion of ground, they will cut down
the grass before it comes too rank, and
that in the other fields may be growing,
and when they are ready to 60 into an
other field the grass ofthe one they leave
may go on growing, and thus the grass
will always be young and tender.
They should have q change of pasture
every three OF four days, and be changed
not only from field to field, but from up
land TO meadow and from meadow TO
upland. 1t is great mistake to have
too many cattle. Remember that ten
well fattened are as good and will bring
as much as fifteen or twenty only hall
fat.
Shade and fine salt are of great i'm
pOrtance; the latter should be supplied
at least once q week. The best way
which can find is to mix il with bran,
say one quart of salt to half peck OF
bran and place it on the ground in
small piles.
IL the cattle are not fat when the
first heavy frost comes, they should
have something more than grass, for
that as soon as frosted loses great por-
tion Of its powers of fattening; pump
kins raised among the corn, nubbins or
small potatoes, Tin small quantities.
will answer the purpose.
generally feed from ten to fifteen
head every summer, and always make
il rule to keep ten bushels of corn and
FIVE of oats, to feed (ground and placed
on the ground in thefall) after the first
heavy frost.
In conclusion, there is more depends
upon the care taken OF fattening steer
than many suppose. They sould be
kept quiet and free from excitement OF
all kinds.-4 Grarier, in GeTmaHto,rH

a fOrcible illustration Of the character
and motives of Radical "loyalty" occur
red in the New York Constitutional
Convention at Albany on Tuesday. Some
of the quintessential ''loyalists" of that
body had insisted upon providing in the
new Constitution for the disfrauchise-
ment of all rebels and all Federal de-
serters. They carried their point by n
large vote. Subsequently. a Democratic
member proposed 10 disfranchise all who
had swindled the Government during
the war. The proposition created con-
siderable eOmmotion, but rs the Radi-
calls had been pra:ing necessarily of vir-
tue and honesty they could not consist
emily negative the motion. After its
adoption a rich scene transpired.
An army ef Radical shoddyites soon
came to Albany for the purpose of
having the clause DISTINGUISHING SWIM
dlers struck out by the Convention. a

POLITICAL PREACHING.-The New
York Journal Of Commerce, in a recent
and forcible article on this subject,
makes the following remarks: 'NO
one ever hears of clergyman preach
any politics which are distasteful to q
majority of the people. The political
sins which the clergyman condemns
are never the sins of his own congrega-
ton. Ii is one of the, marked and
striking characteristics Of the times

congregation"

from the Massachusetts journal, is a:

The article from the Journal reads n:

An infant daughter of Colone, Long,

An infant daughter of Colone' Long,
living near the Cincinnati furnace,
station of the Marietta road, one hun
dred and twenty-three miles east OF
this city, had wonderful escape from
death. She was being drawn in her
wagon along the brink of preclpice,
eighty feet high, when a strong blast OF
wind forced the vehicle, which had been
left standing for moment there, with
its baby occupant, over the ledge ana
down into the depth below. Strange to
say, the child was not thrown from the
buggy nor was it seriously injured.
A young widow, of Quincy, Illinois,
met stranger on the street and asked
him the way; he asked her if she was
not widow; she said she was; he said
he was widower, Doctor from Pal
myra, Missouri, and proposed matrimoDy
on the spot; she blushed and hesitated-
wouldn't he come home and see her
friends about it; the interview was sat
isfactory, the marriage was arranged for
next morning, the widows cash (S4O)
got into the Doctors pocket, he went to
get shaved and has never returned. He
even left her standing in the public
square while he "just run over to the
BARRIERS" There's no such Doctor in

Howard Barnum, teller of the Se-
quo mock National Bank of Bridgeport,
Connecticut, has been ascertained to be
defaulter to the amount of Sl2 900 and
has disappeared. Young Barnum is .
nephew of p. 7. Barnum, and had been
teller of the bank for aOout four years.
Until recently he was foreman of the
Americus Hose Company, and was very
popular. Fast horses and fast women
have been the cause of his ruin. BY
marriage he is connected with one of
the best families in Bridgeport, and his
wife, who has feeble health, is now with
her mother at Saratoga. The bank will
lose only about $1,000 by the defalca-
ton, as Barnum's bonds amount to S10,-
900.
An old man named Watts, aged sixty
four years, has been arrested in Mclean
County, Illinois, charged with incest
and child murder. Upon the prelimin-

mother Of child, the child also of her IA
ther; that Immediately after the child was
born, her father strangled it by tying a
string around it's neck, and buried it in
the smoke-house. Upon digging in
the smOke-house the skeleton of an in
FAINT was found, as alleged by the
daughter. Mr.. Watts protests his entire
innocence, and proclaims equally ignor-
ant of the birth of the child. Il is
claimed, on his behalf, that it is con
spiracy on the part of his children-a
son, who is married, and two daughters

of 500 acres. Mr.. Watts has been Gem

Friday Morning,......A
No Convention.

We predicted few days ago, that the
Radical ring-masters here would not
consent to call q Convention of their
party to organize for the Fall CAM
paign, although it was the general wish
of the loyal that such Convention
should be held. Weintimated that such
an assemblage did not suit the present
purpose of the ruling clique; it would
compel all honest avOwal of sentiment
upon the negro question, and the powers
that he were indispOsed TO risk the con-
sequences.
1t seeTs we read the signs in the
Radical sky with some correctness. No
Convention will he held. This is the
fiat of the management and whether it
be satisfactory or not, all subordinates
must acquiesce. The Clarksburg TeIe-

We learn that the Union Executive

that il would have been TO the interest

The party is evidently in 4 good state

WHEN TO MAKE RAHs.-It is i'm
portant that farmers should know when
to split rails, so that they will keep
longest. The timber should be cut and
split in September, as the sap has then

split the bark should be peeled off so
that they may season and dry. Intheir
present situation many farmers have 10
