There is, year by year, a growing feeling in
favor OF Holstein cattle. For centuries, the
Dutch breeders have practiced a system of
selecting that has resulted in perfecting a
breed of cattle that are good feeders and deep
mixers, and that when no longer serviceable
at the pail, make heavy weight of good beef.
While the Jerseys are noted for the good
quality and richness of their milk, they are
certainly great consumers of food for the size
of the animals. The Ayrshires are large, and
give good messes of milk, but not so rich as
the Jerseys. They are we'll adapted for medi-
um pastures, and when dry make good beef.
On the flush pastures of the west, we see no
reason why the Holsteins may not prove a
most valuable strain of stock, 1t is true, it IS
claimed that their milk lacks richness,
but this is compensated for by the great flow.
For cheese we believe them one of the very
best breeds of cattle we have.


There has been retained a feeling of dis
trust against these cattle from the time OF
their first importation by Mr.. Chenery of
Massachusetts,, who was so unfortunate as to
bring the dreaded rinderpest with them. Gre
ating at the time great alarm, lest it spread,
and decmate the herds of the United States
as those of England the last few years.
Fortunately the disease, many years ago, was
utterly stamped out, and the breed has since
been entirely free, so far as we can learn of
any faint of the disease, fully as much so ss
any one we have, even including our scrub
stock. Hence this feeling is as senseless as
unjust. We repeat and believe the Holsteins
capable OF adding very much to the dairy
wealth of the West,

The helm obeys the hand;

To MAKE CIDER.-Exclude all decayed
fruit, but itshould be quite ripe. No water
must be used. The sweeter the juice the
stronger the cider and the better it will keep.
Place the juice, as soon as it runs from the
press, in clean cask or open tub; watch it,
and as soon as little bubbles begin to rise it
should be racked off by spigot, placed about
two inches from the bottom, so that the sedi-
ment may be left behind. In from one to
five days, when the amount of fermentation
is considerable, as shown by the bubbles, it
must be again drawn off, as before, leaving
two inches for lees. Cider needs to be racked
three times, and if the fermentation contin-
ues briskly the racking must be repeated. In
racking off the liquor it is necessary to keep
it tree from sediment and the scum or yeast
produced by fermnetation. When the fer
mentation is completely at an end fill up the
cask and put half pint of good sweet-oil in
to float on top and exclude oxygen from the
cider.


!. To MAKE SHELL FRAMES. s.-The part of
the frame that is to be ornamepted with
shells must be covered thickly with fresh put
ty; press the shells down into the putty near
ly or quite to the top edge of the shell; form.
flowers or any fancy design; then carefully
cut away any of the superfuous putty that
remains, using sharp pen-knife; if any

pink or white; let this frame remain in fiat

WASHINGTON. March IA.


Patterson's new election scheme has
fallen as fiat as general pooh-poohing
could make it, and it has already passed
out OF view as one of the possibilities.
In Louisiana neither side would accept
such solution of the difficulty, and in
South Carolina the Republican govern
ment under Chamberlain is in a worse
condition as to support by the people than
even the knot of men who gather in and
about the st. Louis Hotel in New Or

this is their only chance of prolonging
their power over the PROSTATE State. The
President said to-day, in an interview
with General Butler, of South Carolina,
and Governsr Penn, of Louisiana, that
he would have no power to entertain the
proposition unless both sides should con-
sent and directly ask the aid of the Ex-
ecut1ve in carrying it out; so that nobody
outside of Patterson and the desperate
adventurers about him by this time even
remember that such q scheme was ever

Pinchback. taking the heart of Hayes

cue, had a long talk with the President
to-day, the burthen of his cry being
mercy to the negro. This mercy, he
thought, could be best shown by recogni-
zing the Nichols government and bring
ing order to the long-distracted State
and giving the Taxpayers and natives
their proper relations to the local povern

power in Louisiana because of his un-
doubted and distinct following among
the blacks, and President Hayes treated
him with great consideration and lis
tened attentiveIy and took his part in
the conversation to a!considerable extent
