THE NEW BULL.
How the Addition tn the Farmers Herd
Should BE Treated.

no" the 10 tue >
Should BE Treated.
At this time when many of our
readers attending the various cattle
sales, may become the purchaser of
young bulls, q word of caution in re-
gard to their treatment may not come
amiss, especially to those whose ex-
perience in handling bulls may be linz
tied. 1t should not be forgotten in
estimating the Importance of this sub
ject that if YOU make wrong start with
your newly acquired bull, his useful
ness to you will not only be seriously
impaired. but you may obliged TO part
with him altogether at serious loss.
An unmanageable bull is a most un-
desirable possession, aud many i
young bull is made so by installing
playfulneSS, or nervousness as the case
may be, for vice or temper. The eff
feet of travelling on the young animal
that has never been off his native soil.
must be considered, and when, as is
often the case, he has been obliged to
travel by cars to the place of sale,
where he is kept some time amid
strange surroundings. and is then ex-
cited by the sale itself, the ring sur
rounded By strange faces into which
he often has TO be driven with
more or less roughness, ac-
cording to the disposition and
temper of his attendant, and finally
takes another unaccustomed journey
bv steam cars to his new home. some
allowance must be made for undue
nervousness and excitement. If he is
not already rung. as he probably will
have been if old enough, before the
sale, let that operation be performed
as early as may be, the control thus
afforded being great assistance in
handling him judiciously. Do not put
him into solitary confinement. but
faSten him securely in the stable or
barn where he Will see other cattle, and
frequently be the recipient of friendly
patting and soothing words. Do not
let him be approached by too many
strangers, but put him as much as pos
sible in charge of one person, prefera-
bly,. of course, that one who, it is in
tended. shall have the chief care of him
in the future; let this person bring him
his food and exercise him, and in every
way possible get him used TO his new
surroundings. Let misbehayior be
promptly punished, but never continue
his punishment when he ceases his
misbehavior. Grooming with a stiff
brush has been recommended as a sure
way to the bulls fayor.-NdtiOnal Lice

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

that dry arsenic applied to warts on
mules will soon cure them. Says he
has just tried this remedy with success.

1t is well to have one or two late
matches of chickens. With a warm

of ribs, is much easier fatted than 4
lank, lean one.-Troy Times.

Whipped cream pie: Make crust

when done spread it with a layer OF

set the cream where it will get very
cold before whipping.-The Household.
Hard gingerbread: One cup OF

one-half cup of lard, little salt, one

Mix quite hard. Roll out, cut in cakes
to suit your pan, which should be a

you put your bread in, but be careful

put in one teaspoonful of cream OF

"COWCUM BER."

Something About the Pronunciation of
the Name OF Popular Vegetable.
Although it may be doubted whether
''fifty years ago the fashionable pro-
nunciation of the word was coWcum-
ber," yet.the statement that it twas
ever written otherwise than cucumber,
at least by persons of any education"
was certainly in error. In old diction-
aries, as a rule, the latter word is the
word used; in Barrett's "Alvearie"
(15S0) it appears as "a cucumer." The
cotc prefix is deemed vulgarism at the
present day, and was considered so
even in the Seventeenth century by
some; for we read in Westmacot's

LONDON, Feb. 20.-A dispatch hai
been received from Korti, dated yes

Butler from Gubat is further ex.
planned. This dispatch says that Ell
Mahdi Oh the llth inst. has been en-
gagged for three days in the town col

English at Guoat. He was landing
steamers with guns and ammunition
on the 9Th inst, and he dispatched
two sheikhs with 5000 men and four
guns down the right bank of the Nile
to erect fort opposite the English
camp at Gubat.
A dispatch from Korti says Gen.
Butler, who began his retreat from
Gubat several days ago, was COM
PEELED to halt at Abu Klea wells and
intrench his troops in position there
in order to safely defend himself
against El Mahdi, who is gathering
large numbers on his line of retreat
and continually menacing the Brit

cate Gen. Wolseley must send strong
reinforcements to Gen. Butler If the
latter is to be rescued from his peril

tanned that Butler may meet the fate

DEADLOCK Oh tnc oregon Legislature
SALEM, Ore, Feb. l9..-The legis.
lative session expires by limitation
to-day. At midnight the senatorial
situation had hardened into what
seems to be a fixed and permanent
deadlock. The majority of the re-
publican members are now voting
for Hirsch, and declare they will not
desert him even if the result should
be no election. The minority re-
publicans are voting for ex-Attorney
General Williams, and are equally
firm in their declarations. The
democrats are eager to unite In the
election of a Mugwump. Neither
republican faction is inclined to act
with them. 1t is proposed tonight
as solution of the problem to elect
Jas. G. Blaine, and this extraordinary
result is q possible outcome of the
deadlock. The efforts of the demo-
cratic national committee have been
chiefly directed against Williams,
but as yet are without effect. There
is considerable talk in the lobbies
about Henry Failing, of Portland,
coming in toward the last as a COM
promise candidate. It is understood
that in the event of no election, Gov.
Moody will appoint w. Lair Hill, of
the Dalles There ia also consider
able talk about Governor Moody as
candidate.
The condition of things, in brief, is
as follows: The free for all contest,
which began 80 days ago. will be re-
sumed at noon tomorrow with every
body available, but there will be no
armistice until some one is elected or
the legislature expires by Limitation.

Oregon LEGISLATURE.

SALEM, Ore. Feb. 2l.-Both houses
were called to order at 10 o'clock.
All the Democrats seats were va
cant. Nearly all left by the early
morning train. In each house there
was mcre than half the members
present, but not the two-thirds re-
quired by the state constitution for a
quorum for the transaction of legis-
lative business. Both houses took a
recess until l:45. As viewed by the
Republicans the legal status of the
situation is clear. The president of
the senate, at II O'Clock, has but to
announce that the constitutional
hour Ior u joint convention. having
arrived, the senate will proceed to
the hall of the house. When more
than half of the members being pres-
ent, as required by the national law,
balloting may proceed in regular and
legal form. There is, however, a
strong opposition to this plan, though
no question as to legal authority
for it. Tne antagonism, which di-
vided the Republicans up to the
hour of adjournment are still un
abated. The Republican minority
will probably decline to enter the
joint convention unless the majority
candidate Will withdraw.

A Mixed Tn Ahaio.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 21.-Here is
the complete story of mixed up af-
fair: At IL o'clock last night the
Joint convention adjourned. Imme-
diately afterwards, both houses re-
scinded the previous resolution to
adjourn the legislature sine die at y
O'Clock last night, and both houses
adjourned until this morning at ten
O'Clock and met in joint convention
at noon. with no result, and ad-
journed till o'clock. At 8 p. m. q
caucus of the Republicans was held
and was addressed by Hirsch, who
said he would stand by the party
whatever the result of the contest.
The vote Of the caucus was for ex-
Senator H. w Corbett, 28 to g.
But when the joint convention met
at 4 o'clock, enough members op-
posed to Corbett staid away to break
the quorum, when the convention
dissolved and both houses adjourned
sine die. The Oregon legislature of
1885 is thing of the past, and there
is no senator to succeed Slater.

and had a general conversation. The
report that Francis Lynde Stetson
has been despatched to confer with
Senator Thurman aud Col. Villas Is
authoratively denied. John e. Dey-
elm, who dined with Cleveland last
evening, said to-day, Cleveland has
not fully decided upon all the men,
bers of his cabinet yet, but there
was one thing which he believed
sure and that was, Manning would
be Secretary of the Treasury. 1t is
said to be the fixed intention OF the
President-elect to give a Southern
of three members in
his cabinet, including Senator Bay.
ard. The other two representatives
will come from a circle of senators
and the choice, it is understood, will
be restricted virtually to Lamar of
Miss, Garland of Ark, and jackson
of Tenn. It is possible that in addi-
ton 10 Manning, New YORK may be
accorded another cabinet office.

London Alarmed.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The govern
ment has called on the militia and
suspended the transfer of officers
from the regular army to reserves.
This action created profound sen
sation and a general feeling of alarm
respecting the safety of not only the
forces under Gen. Butler but also
under Wolseley and Brackenbury.
The opinion Is widely expressed that
the war office has received more
startling information from Wolseley
than conveyed in the telegram of this
afternoon in relation to Butler being
hemmed in at Abu Klea wells.
