The Chinese Treaties.

The action OF the Committee on For
eign Relations IN reporting favo-ably
upon the new Chinese treaties, was.
though nominally unanimous, essen
italy formal. rs il Was o preceded by
any detailed consideration Of the mer.
its OF the treaties, nor accompanied
with my understanding that the mem
bers should thereby bs precludod from
Offering amendn ents, or indeed. from
opposing favorable action in the Senate.
1t being universally conceded Ina, these
important treaties. which had already
been examined by the former committee.
must be disposed Of during tho present
session, and it being equally evident
that any discussion which might arise
in this committee concerning the IN
would have to be gone over in the Sem
ate, the favorable report was ordered by
common consent, simply rs the readiest
means Of erpediting fiunl action. 1t
should be added that there is not lik ely
to be any serious opposition to the rat.
ifca,ion of the treaties.

AS n COW approaches the period

is considerably increased the COW
is taxed to the ntmost to keep mp
the extra quantity of blood which
supplies the calf, aud is in such
condition that very slight cause,
MS cold, indigestion OF over,teedlng,
may do much mischief. tits, there
tore, very dangerous to feed any
grain to COW in this state for sew
rral weeks before she comes in.
Good hay is all that is required +; a
few roots may be advisable, but
even a bran slop is to be given with
caution aud when it is required as
u laxative. To feed grain stinn.

is almost always productive oi

calving, too, for at least week,
grain food should be given with
extreme caution.
