Contest Between the Baitimorz & Ohio and the Cincinnati Roads, A Return to the Old Free-Pass System, The Union Depot. CUTTING RATES TO THE EOUTHEAST. There ia & prospect of a war between the Dal- timore & Olio Railroad and what is known as the Xankakeo & Pan-lfandls paol line. The latter line is composed of the Kavkakes Lino and the Pittaburg, Cincimnati & 8t. Louis Rail- vosd. Theee two lines are the onlyones in this city leading diroct to Cincinoati. Formerly they were fighting each other, and consequently rates to Cinctnoati woro very low. While this state of affaira was very accepteble to the pnb- lic, it wasa very unsstsfactory to the rosds themselves. Thay thereforn pooled their intercats, and ever sinco thev Lave hsd their own way a8 far as ratos to Cincinnati and the Southeast wero coucerned. Binco thon tho Raltimore & Oblic L Lecn completed, which road bLas oqual if not better, tacilities for the Cincinnati and the Sonthern trade than the pool lines. Consequently. much of the trade of these liues hias beeu diverted to the Baltimore & Ohio Railrosd. To keep even with their dangeraus rival, the pool lines Lave lately made au arrange- ment with the Cherapeake & Ohio Itailroad, forming the Great Southers Dispateb Line. By this arrangement, they can take freight from Chicago to Virginia and North Caroliua at much lower rates than any other, and the new tanff, which was publshed in Tue TRILUNE B day or two ago,is wo low that noother road conld Foumhl,rcampem and mako man For example, the rate to Richmond, Va., ¥ B new line, i 40 ceuts percwt, oo fourth-class sud grain, whila the rata for the eame articles in 35 cents to Baltimore. The rate to Norfolk, which 18 on Atlantic seaport, in 44 cents by the new ronte, while tha rate over the other lines to New York in 40 cents, making a dilference of but 4 centn between New York and Norfolk. The Baltimore & Ohio is now conmdoring mexsures to make their ratos still lower ihan those eatablished by tbe pew line. And asthe Baltimore & Obio hias an ali-rail route, nod the Great Southsrn Dispatch has to take ita froigat from Cincinnati to Huntington by steamer, there can be but little doubt of the result of the con- teat. But, basidon haviug tho beat liue, tho Baltimore & Ohio has also the most money, and can stand the ficht much the longest. Itis stated on good authority that the new lme-was started in the tnterest of Tom Beott and tho Penusylvania Railrond. The Pennsyivania Railroad Company is the worst sufferer from the competition of the Daltimora & Ohio, and therefore overy obetacleis thrown in the way ot this road to prevent it from gaining s foot- hofd. The Saratogs combination, 1t ia claimed, waa engineered by Mr. Scott for the #ame p pose, and Mr, Vanderbilt and the other maguates are beginning to see this. Thereia uno longer any doubt that the New York roads are ready to withdraw from the combination, and in less than thirty days Mr. Scott will have to fight the Balti- mors & Ohio Bailroad alono. FREE PASSES. That the Baratoga combination is virtually dend ia best shown by the fact that the princi: pal roads balonging to the combination ara vio- lating the agreemont in every particulsr. They do not do this clandestinely, but quito openly. By tho terms of the agreomont, no {ree passes, or passes at reduced rates, can be issued by any of the roads belonging to the combination.

WEDNESDAT'S PROCEEDINGS CONTTNUED, Spacral Dumateh to The Chicags Tridune. Etoty, 11L. Dec. 81.—The concluding proceed- nRs of yeaterday's session wero as follows: The subject, ** The beat plan to avoid the low prices for butter and cheose duriny: the summer onths,” was announced, and tho discussion openoed by Dr. R. . Stone, He was anxious for light upon the subject bimselr, and hardly know how ho couid give any informatisn of value. The changing of & portion of our dairies from summer to fall and winter dairies wonld no- doubtodly be a benoficial change. Dut who sball commence it? The average dairyman thinks it prefersble to take a less price for the milk in tho summer than to incur tho additional o1penso to render s winter dairy s success, ag the oxtra foed and additional facilities required, he bolds, is more than the incree.led profita will equalize. Hisides is that & dairy should be o arranged that the eupply of milk should bo equally maintained throughout the year. Alr. Panton thought there was 28 much profit in summer o8 in winter dairying, a8 the cost of production in summer cannot be a8 great in sum mer 28 in winter. TRY COST OF PRODUCTION in the firat factor, and must be considered. Greater prices {requently implied greater cost of production, and then the profit is equalized., Mr, Stewart, of Plano, was desirous of know- ing Liow it waa that cheeso made in the summer, if kept till winter, in good order, would bring as much as fresh wintor chieoso, when evory middle- man was around telling that summer cheese was good for nothing unless consumed within thirty days from time of making. Ha suspected those middlemen had moro than a pasming interest in decelving the manufacturer and keoping all in confusion. He wanted to know what be- esms of tho summer cheege bought by groat dealers: they wers not consnmed, it was sare. What bocame of them? VYarious porsona mado remarks, but none contd givo & eatisfactary answer. Mr. Stowart then gave hig exporienco as & manufacturer of tho Marsh Harvester, and stated that he paid ount moro money fur selling the Harvester than was the cost of it production, and this sum WENT TO MIDDLEMEN, Ho waa cortain the sume clasa operated in the choese trado, and mado it for their interest to keop up contusion, A dewnltory discussion was frdulged in unpon thoe subject, which elicited but littlo light. Judge Wilcox made remarks of a practical natoro. Ho held that the dairiea sbould be eo airanged aa to koop up an oven and regular sup- piy of milk. H claimed that the general adop- tion of nuch a piau would work beaotit to the milk-producer aud to all who havdlo tno pro- duct; that the differooco {n expense of produce tiou waa more than countorbalanced by the on- heuced price roceived. Lo thought cows whonld veat in tho wummer, Dr. Stope said that such & cowso was gradus ally becoming the custoay in and around Llgia, and that numerous CHEESE PACTORIES were now runnivg, while us arale the factorles throughout the West were idle. Eigin dairymon had learned the secist of rogular and certalu |xlr|cul. Perhops tho reat of tho Weat would in time, Mr. Baise, of Marengo, gave aa his experience that cows which camo 1n_from Aug, 15 till Ocy 1 wero by far the most valuable. 1e conid more easily securo 3100 per cow whero milking come meuced iu Hoptewber than he could £60 for thase which commouced milking in April.

Tho Premdent announced the first subject of disoussion 10 bet ** The bewt methiod of keoping up tho supply of milk durmg vhe summer months.” Judge Wilcox opened the question, He sald he kept thisty-tive cowa, aud cultivatad sixty-flve acrew of ground, igcluding (weaty-four acres of worn, fiftesn acres boing fu fold and uvlue sores in wweet corn. From tha lattor uiue aores, ha sold $250 worth of xwoet corn to the packiug 1aotory, and tea tons of feed for catile, Upon uull{ 1 acres Lo rained 8 supply for foddar, the rown being one foot and ten inches apast wag put in with a drill and harvested with a reaper. He raised thirty-three tons of feed, which proved far MORE DENEFICIAL than ro much hay. He commenced faeding corn fodder iz July, i the barn,—kespiag tp 4 fina run 3f ozcellent milk. Ho found that tus kind of cropying, on 24 acres, was worth mare than his 55 wcras of pasturs. He balioved In sowed crops, and believed the day wonld come whon the farmor would find [t more profitabls to crop on & Jimitod amount of land than use groat graze ing fields. Ho should practice such acourss more fully in the future. R. W. Btewart, of Mcifenry County, coincided nearly with the provioun speaker.” Land for corn fodder must be axtremely rich. olse the inm wfiula be tough and lack nutritious quali- iee. fio DID NOT THINK TT PAID tocut up maturad cornatalks, but let his cattla rang> throuch the tields atter the oars wers picked.
