CALL FOR A LARGER NAVY.

One of the measures now being press
ed on Congress is the building of a
new navy, or at least large addition
to the present one. An appropriation
Of $14,000,0O0 will be asked for this
purpose. Whether this is an absolute
want Of the country or is a scheme
of spectators is question. The
arguments used for this large expendi.
ture of money look very much like an
attempt to brighten the people that the
country is in great danger of a sudden
incursion from some foreign power.
The whole Atlantic seacoast is assert
ed to be without anything like ade-
quate protection against foreign inva-
sion; the Pacific coast is declared to
be in a like defenceless state. Besides
the European powers who might, if so
disposed, take advantage of our made
quate naval protection and do us i'm
mense harm, it is furthermore said
that such powers in South America as
Brazil and Chill, one on the Atlantic
side and the other ON the Pacific side,
might suddenly pounce on some Ct our
seaboard cities, rob and plumber them.
This indeed would be alarming if there
were the least probability of any such
happening. When. during the last
fifty or one hundred years, has a for
eign nation. without warning, made
an attack on our borders, destroying
towns and cities? 1t is fair to presume
that the nations Of the world have
made progress in civilization since the
establishment OF this government.
The United States are not surrounded
by nations given to robbery and plum
dering. That we need ships of war,
furnished with all the modern i'm.
provements, is but reasonable. These
are wanted to enforce respect and pro-
lection to our merchantmen and trad.
ers in the less civilized portions of the
world. But the semi-barbarians who
maltreat American citizens in distant
lands are not likely to cross the seas
TO invade this country. The proposal
now before Congress TO build up for.
midable navy carries with it a senti.
ment of national pride, but that it is
demanded for the safety of the country
is not apparent. Spectators and job.
bers will no doubt encourage liberal
appropriations of this kind. The null.
tiplication of the navy involves the in
crease of navy officers. The govern.
ment has now long list of navy EN-.
ployees drawing pay from the national
treasury, many Of whom have little tic
do. Considerable numbers of them
like the army officers, can at any time
be found recreating in Washington,
comfortably drawing the regular pay.
A powerful navy might add national
glory to the Republic. but that it is
called for by the exigency Of the times
is quite another thing.

PAY FOR LOSS OF SLAVES
WANTED.

The legislature of the State OF
Maryland has passed a bill directing
the members of Congress from that
state to secure such legislation as will
enable citizens of Maryland to obtain
compensation for loss of slaves by
emancipation. The Bourbons have
now obtained such a strong position
at Washington, tue ex-slaye holders
are encouraged to obtain compensation
for their losses.

Common-sen Remedies for Their variou,
Affections
Milk fever in ewes is not very COM
mon. The first symptoms are weakness
dullness, unsteady gait, loss of appetite
and twitching of the ears and hind
legs. This is more common in highly.
fed and piethoric animals of all kinds.
The time of attack is usually few days
before weaving time. Give the follow
ing, after separating the eve from the
flock; Nitrate of potash, one dram;
sulphate of magnesia, three ounces;
molasses, three ounces. This may be-
given in warm linseed cruel. This will
open the bowels, or if il should not. in
about ten hours repeat the dose. When
the bowels have been evacuated give
twice day the above dose, with the ex-
ception OF the sulphate of magnesia, as
long as the fever continues After the
fever has subsidized give nourishing foods
of the bone and muscle-forming variety
and toncs, such as the charcoal pow
ders.
Garget in ewes may be known by the
swelling and heat of the udder 1t is
usually more or less sensitive and some-
times exceedingly SO. Sometimes black
spots appear on the udder, which break
and make very stubborn sores. SILVER
ing and lameness are sometimes pres
ent. Foment the udder, and give in.
ternally the following: Oil of turpen-
tine, half ounce; sulphate of magnesia,
four ounces; powdered ginger, one
ounce. Put the lamb to the teat as
soon as possible.
Rheumatism sometimes attacks
lambs. The limbs of some of them be-
come stiff, causing difficulty and
awkwardness in motion. There are
cramps in the neck. and the animal
manfests an inclination to remain
quiet and listless. The bowels soon
become constipated. Give the follow
ing at the commencement of the dis
ease Powdered sulphuretted anti
mony, five parts, and fresh butter one
part. Mix, and then administer guam
tity the size of hazel nut three times .
day.
II lambs are troubled with constipas
ton give spoonful of castor oil, as we
have recommended for sheep. After
this give tonic every day such as this:
Golden sulphur of antimony, half dram;
TO the remedies that we have given for
diarrhoea, the following will be con-
venient and useful to give as food to
lambs suffering with that disease:
White of egg, one part; water, six
parts. These are beaten together and

What an Indian Thought the Second Dis
charge OF a Gun Would DO.
A young half-civilized son of the for
est belonging to one of the tribes on the
Pacific coast, was living with noun
taineer and doing chores for his "board
and clothes" One day, seeing large
flock of ducks light down in the pond
near the house, the young Nimrod
wanted to try his luck shooting. The
ranchman loaded the shotgun, putting
into it full charge of powder and shot.
Away went the young brave in high
plee. He had been gone but few min
utes when Boom! BOOM went the
gun, knocking the Indian over, the
noise echoing among the hills like
small cannon. But the piece was we'll
aimed, and had made great havoc of
the ducks. On recovering from the
shock, he wended his way homeward,
half-bewildered from his fright.
"What is the matter with you, JimP'
asked his employer. With significant
grunt, Jim replied: ugh, One more

He paused for moment, and added,
with greater emphasis;

CARE OF HENS.
Hints OF Interest to Farmers Raising
Many Broods of Chicks.

Hints OF Interest to Farmers Raising
Many Broods of Chicks.
Where there are large number OF
hens kept it is not wise plan to allow
all the brood to run together. A hen
may be very stupid at first, and may
not be able to distinguish young duck
from chick before she comes off the
nest, BIZ: it does not require long
time for her to find out strange chick
that gets among her own, and she will
destroy it if she has an opportunity.
Hence, where there are several broods,
the hens should be separated, and the
coops placed far enough apart to pre-
vent the chicks of different broods COM
ing together. The hens should be con-
fined for two weeks after they come off
the nests, and under no circumstances
should the chicks be allowed to run in
the damp grass, or upon the wet
ground. The matter of feeding chicks
with hens should be carefully attended
to. Young chicks need feed often, but
every time they are fed the refuse Of
the previous feeding should be carefully
removed, or the result will be gapes.
Gapes and lice come from filth, and the
poultryman can save himself much an
noyancc by keeping all the surround
ings clean. BE careful not to attempt
to raise chicks without guarding against
hawks. 1t is better not to raise them
at all than to waste the eggs, and de-
vote the time Of the hen to Matching
them, If large portion of them are to
be devoted TO feeding hawks. Better
raise them in little runs altogether than
to suffer the loss.-F'drm, Field and
Stockman.
