Question by Mr.. Logan-From the con.

you speak Of an understanding with the
former Mrs. Belknap, now deceased.
Please say what that understanding was ?
Objected TO by both managers and
counsel. .y....
Mr.. Logan insisted on an answer, and q
discussion ensued.
The Senate decided, by a vote OF % to
II, that the question should be answered.
The question was then repeated, and
the witness answered that he did not
think he had stated that he had an UNDER
standing with Mrs. Belknap. The wit
ness further testified that the first money
was sent to Mrs. Belknap, deceased, and
that Il was sent without any arrangement
with aay person. When he paid General
Belknap money in person he did not have
any conversation with him about whence
the money came or in any way regarding
Il. For the first two or three years the
witness saw General Belknap two or
three times year, but had no recollee-
ton Of money having been referred to in
any conversation between them.

COOKING FOOD FOR STOCK.

Mr.. V. s. Beekman of Ulster Co., New
York, evidently has poor opinion of
cooking food for COWS. He details, in the
New York Tribune, some of This experience
in this line. He had seen in several Az
ricultural papers, and in a pamphlet ed.
tied by one who had an AK to grind. that
there were large profits arising from
cooking food for cows. From the state
ments it appears that there was q saving
from cooking Of one-third Of the feed, and
he concluded that if by cooking 5000
worth of food he could make it 20 as far
as 81, 200 uncooked he could afford to
pay sos for steamer and '.go in.'' We'll,
he tried the cooking business one winter
and got enough Of it. The labor he saws
is increased ten fold. In cold weather
only little can be fed at time, as stock
do not like it cold. He thinks not one
out Of ten, who advocate cooking, do their
own work, and, for his part, he had rather
spend his spare time in winter in reading
and recreation than in the barn saving
a few dollars coddling his stock.
There are good many others who
have tried cooking that have abandoned
it, and feel, we fear, something like MIR.
Beekman in regard to it.

article on this su bject: Since none
Of our common diseases is more dreaded
than scarlet fever, it is important to
know what can be done to prevent it's
diffusion. To this end the following
conditions should be observed
Let the patient be assigned an upper

and upholstered chairs or sofas. Use an
iron bedstead, and if possible let the bed.

patient is so far recovered as to mingle
with the other members of the family.
The handkerchiefs which he has used
should be burned. Its better to furnish
bits of old cotton or linen in place OF
handkerchiefs, that each piece, as soon
as soiled, may be removed and destroyed,

ceives the approximations, should contain

disinfectants must be used freely about
the room. An indispensable article for
the comfort of the patient is an earth.
closet. There are several kinds in use, but,
as far as we have observed, the simplest
and cheapest is the best. Common gar.
den soil, perfectly dry, should be used, OF
sifted coal ashes. Either of these sub.
stances will readily deodorize the intcs.
final discharges. A small quantity Of
| sulphate of iron-copperas If added to
the soil or ashes, will serve as an excel

who come in contact With the patient
should frequently wash their hands
with carbolic soap. Clothing taken from

lowed to remain in water containg one o.
the atove-named disinfcctants two o,
three days before being washed. These
simple suggestions, if followed, would re-
suit in greatly decreased number o.
cases Of scerlet fever: and if the mean.
proposed were generally adopted, we be-
lieve that in short time the disease
would be efectually stamped out" W.

layers from old quilts, and spread them

together before they are put in, and then
they can be laid more smoothly upon the
old canes. Fine hay will also answer for
stuffing when nothing better can be pro.

fine permanent stain is produced. If the
objects are small. more dilute bath can
be prepared, and the wood immersed in
