senator Gordon Agnin CONFINED 10 His
Room by sickness.
Senator Gordon, who has been suf-
fering from severe indspositiOn for
several days past, was in his seat In
the Senate to-day, and spoke adversely
on the bill recently introduced by him
to create sinking funds for the liguida-
ton of the Indebtedness due the gov
eminent by Pacific railroads. On 40.
count of his physical condition he was
unable to treat the subject az fully as
he desired. After leaving his seat he
had severe chill, and Is again con-
fined to bed tonight. His physicians
hope to have him out again in day
or two.
The impression seems to have been
created In some quarters that the bill
now before the Senate Is connected
with the Pacific bill now pending be-
fore the House of Representatives.
Such is not the case. The bill before
the Senate has reference solely to In.
debtedness due from Pacific railroads
already completed, that offered by
General Gordon being substituted for
the bill reported by the judiciary com
miItee.

IS StantOn's NAVY"
Gideon Welles' Annals of the War, In Philadel
phia Times.

Gideon Welles Annals of the War, In Philadel-
phia Times.
In the early part of May, the Presi-
dent, accompanied by Secretaries
Chase and Stanton, took a steamer to
visit Fortress Monroe and the army
under Mcclellan, then on the York
peninsula.
While descending the Potomac the
attention of the party was directed to
q string of boats nearly mile in
length on the Maryland shore, some
fifty miles below Washington. In
quiry was made as to the object of
such an immense collection of miscel-
laneous water craft. The pilot said he
believed they were put there to oppose
the Merrimac, but the little Monitor
had taken care of her.
CON-" said the President, pointing to
the points which lined the sh ore, chat
is Stanton's navy-that is the squadron
that Welles would have nothing to do
with, and about which he and Stanton
had the dispute. 1t was finally de-
cided, believe, that the war depart
ment might have fleet of its own to
fight the Merrimac, and there it is.
We were all a little scared at that
time. Mr.. Welles felt bad enough,
but was not enough scared to listen to
Stanton's scheme of blackading the
river; said the fleet of boats would be
useless, and If used, worse than USE
less"
Stanton, who was little disconnected
by the Presidents levity, said he had
believed it was best to provide for an
emergency, and should the Merrimac
now attempt to come up the river, the
boats which he had procured and load
ed might be found to answer a useful
purpose in protecting Washington.
"Your emergency" said Mr.. Lin
coin, reminds me of circumstance
which took place in Illinois. We had
On our circuit respectable lawyer
named B, noted for q remarkable
development of his breast, the glands
being enormous, more protuberent
than those of many females. In con-
versation which took place among the
lawyers at one of the hotels there was
a discussion regarding the singular de.
velOpment which, in a man, was al
most deformity, and could be of no
possible use. B controverted this,
and said that, sapposlng he were to be
cast away upon an uninhabited island,
with no other human being but nurs-
ing infant for which he would have to
provide. In such an emergency he had
no doubt, Providence would furnish,
through him, nourishment for the
child" This he said, remarked the
President, with as much apparent
sincerity as Stanton showed when he
urged navy composed of canal boats
to stop the Merrimac. think BIS
paps to nurse an infant will be as serv-
iceable and required about as soon as
Stanton's feet to fight and keep back
an iron frigate. The preparation for
an anticipated emergency, which is
about as likely to occur In one case as
the other, is very striking"
Mr.. Chase related 10 me this Incl
dent, which was afterwards, at his re-
quest, repeated by the President In the
presence of others, to the great annoy
ance of Mr.. Stanton, who never enjoyed
the anecdotical humors Of the Presi
dent If at his expense.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Petroleum on Shingles.

In regard to applying petroleum to
shingles to preserve them, writer says
alt enters the pores of the wood at
once, and as it hardens makes it more
compact in texture, and rather less
liable to take fire. The petroleum also
prevents the surface of the shingles
from rising in downy fibres, or fuz,
and it is on the whole not so liable to
fire from sparks when treated with it.
We have tried the experiment with
shingles oiled some time previously,
and find they are not so easily ignited
by outside fire, altough when once
burning they will, of course, produce
more flame than the wood without the
petroleum" Petroleum is also very
good to apply to the iron work and
steel of farm implements, to prevent
their rusting when not in use. The
crude article costs but s. or "a per bar
rel-the price may be higher at pres
ent-and it is useful to keep on hand.
When any out-building, or even your
dwelling house, is to be painted. one.
half the expense may be saved by ap.
plying a coat of petroleum with fine
whitewash brush; let it dry several
weeks, and then put on one coat OF
paint, and, by so doing second coat
of paint is rendered unnecessary.

nished, and it should not be cold
Fowls like to drink often, and they con-
sumo as much water in proportion to
the weight of their bodies as horses and
domestic animals. Very cold water
chills the body and retards the produc-
ton of eggs.
1t is notable fact that many farm
ers and small breeders neglect giving
water to their fowls, forcing them to
eat snow and ice; and in such cases
there is not only lack of thrift, but
downright suffering, and, very likely,
disease follows.
If warm water is provided, by using
some approved drinking fountain, by
which an even temperature is obtained,
there is no more trouble through the
day; but if not, the water should be
supplied warm IN the morning and
again at noon. Warm water and warm
food make the fowls comfortable.
They never lay eggs unless in a COM
Portable condition. 1t takes much ami
NAL heat to melt ice in the crop. Very
cold water retards the digestion of food,

Feed for Young Calves.

The first winter is proverbially try
ing time for young stock of all kinds
There is no sorrier sight than the aver
age yearling cattle found in late winter
and spring in most northern barnyards.
A spring calf, that has been once wean-
ed from milk and taught to eat grass,
is second time forced to change of
food, and that usually which has no
sweetness or succulence. Dry and
often woody" hay is not very nour-
ishing food, and what nutrition it CEN
tains is of little value for young calf.
Well cured early mown clover is prob
ably as nearly like succulent grass as
can be found in the shape of hay; out
if young calves are to be kept thriving
they need something more. l have
found nothing better than oatmeal as
feed for young growing calves. A small
handful of ground oats thoroughly
scalded with boiling water may be
mixed with their mess of skim milk
when the calf is few days old, and
water may be gradually substituted for
the milk if the latter is scarce. The
scslded oatmeal partially cooks the
milk, forming mucilaginous porridge
which the animal will eat with avidity.
l never knew q calf thus reared which
did not become vigorous thrifty ami
NAL, which is especially important in q
cow. 1t is impossible for any COW to
become q good mixer unless she is
also hearty feeder; and little oat-
meal during the first year of an animals
existence is pretty sure to establish that
habit for life. The oatmeal promotes
growth of frame and bone rather than
increase of fat; and it is important that
calves which are intended to be raised
as COWS should have food which pro-
notes flesh and growth rather than fat.
In some cases / have known one or two
quarts of oatmeal to be fed per day
during the second winter, while the
same amount of corn meal would have
only fitted the animals for the shambles.
1t Is not necessary to buy the fine oat-
meal which is sold at the stores and
costs five or six cents per pound. A
few bushels coarsely ground in any
custom mill will prove equally good
and much cheaper. Of course where
animals are to be fattened corn is pre-
ferable at present prices; but even now
there is nothing for growing stock
cheaper or better than ground oats

Destruction of Weeds.

If land is overrun with weeds it will
not produce heavy crops of cereals,
grasses, roots or legumos. The major
ity of farmers suffer heavy losses by al
lowing weeds to encroach on their cul-
tivated crops and rob them of their
necessary food, by absorbing the best
ingredients of the soil. By deep plow-
ing grass and weeds may be so effect
lively turned under that they will rot
and turn into manure, and by repeat
edly narrowing the surface soil with an
implement capable of doing the work
IN the best way all roots and negotiating
seeds of weeds that lie within three or
four inches of the surface will be
brought up and killed by exposure to
the sun. A rotation of crops has a
powerful effect in destroying weeds, for
where dried crops are alternated with
cereals the frequent stirring of the soil
in the after-culture of the drilled crops
prevents the growth of weeds, and
makes the soil perfectly clean.-Ds-
