Special to the Kecokd-Union.
Washington, Jan. 21.—1n tho Senate,
to-day, as soon as the journal of yester
day was read, Gorman moved to correct
It by striking out the words stating that
Aldrii-ii's motion yesterday to proceed to
coii_idcration of the resolution as to the
cloture was determined inthe affirmative,
lie asserted that a ballot occurred and tlie
result of the vote was never announced.
He read from tho Seeord t<> sustain his
position, and expressed lus belief that the
"senate would not permit tho Journal to
stand, which he declares a falsehood.
Aldrich was willing to concede that the
Vice-President had not declared the
motion carried, and had no objection to
the motion to amend thejournal.
The Vice-President said, from his own
recollection of opinion, lie did not for
mally declare the vote as carried, though
ho stated that tho ayes appeared to have
it, and would therefore again submit the
question.
After a long discussion, Etistis took the
floor and spoke aaj.iin.st the elections bill.
lie said it was aimed at Souther:! com
munities and tho Southern States. It was
Intended to revive, reorganize and re
hal.ilit.ue the Republican party in the
Booth. It was intended as a second re
construction measure, and it deserved the
f-ulureof the lirst reconstruction measure.
Eostis referred to the Boston riot
against the execution ofthe fugitive slave
law, and said that never in any Southern
State had there been such an exhibition
of tierce, determined and relentless oppo
sition to a Federal law as that in Massa
chusetts. And that riot, ho said, was
headed by tho lirst and leading citizens
Of Boston, and in the lace of that record
the Senator from Massachusetts was con
stantly arraigning and condemning tho
Souther i communities and the Southern
Estates.
Hoar replied to what he termed tho
diatribe and philippic ofthe Senator from
Louisiana, and thought it the most extra
ordinary sp etaele of colossal assurance
he had ever witni sod. General Sheridan,
when io command of tlie Department of
*he South, declared that more men had
been murdered in th" state of Louisiana
♦or their political opinions than had fallen
mi both aides daring the Mexican war.
tt wa- a State whose annals are known by
Eta terrible and bloody history.
Carlisle addressed 'himself* directly to
.he question of tho proceedings yester
day and ofthe motion to correct thejour
nal.
Vest gave as a justification for his ad
dressing the Senate now the fact that the
Shadow Of the closure rule rested on ad
thai the Senators-might do and Bay now.
He went on to give ■ review in the Senate
■1 the time that the closure rule was
proposed, and it was opposed by leading
Republicans, and he also quoted from
Hoar's article in the Youth's Oompamon,
in which he says: "In that assembly (the
Senate oi the united Stages) speech'is ab
solutely unfettered."
Ho a;so referred to articles in Republi
can newspapers all over tho country in
condemnation of the elections bilL He
said that if the Republican Senators
passed the bill, and especially as they
proposed to pass it, by trampling on the
rights of the Senate, not five States in
tin Union would give them their elect.oral
YOU 8.
He warned tlio Republican Senators
that they were playing with edged tools,
aiul that they might inflict a mortal
wound on the South and on the whole
country.
At six o'clock a motion to adjourn was
lost. The absence of a quorum was
noted, and (lie Sen-cant-at-Arms was
directed to request the attendance of the
absent Senators.
The time ofthe Senate was taken up in
roll calls, and in the delivery of Vest's
speech, in sections, and at midnight the
Senate adjourned, leaving the subject of
Tuesday's journal to come up again to
morrow.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, .iau. 2L—ln the House,
when the reading of the journal was con
cluded this moraine. -Mills objected to its
approval and stated that ho desired to de
bute Iho.q-aoslion.
In a moment McKinley was on his feet
with a demand for the previous question
«.n the approval of the journal, and he
-was recognized by tbe Speaker.
Then followed a scene of excitement
almost rivaling that of yesterday.
Messrs. Bland, Rogers and Mills exco
riated the Speaker, and the Speaker, in a
Him manner, stated that lie was adminis
tering the rales as he understood them
and as sustained by the House, and that
he \\oiitd continue to administer them as
long as he retained the position to which
cte wasX'ected bythe House.
Kerr 05 lowa added somewhat to the
contusion b-< his criticism of the report of
Mills' remark*** as published in the record
to-day, asserting thai it did not coincide
with the report in the public press.
Mills excitedly demanded to know
whether the gentleman accused him of
having mutilated the records, but Kerr
disclaimed any such Intention. The tu
mult was quelled by the roll-call on the
approval ofthe journal.
The previous question was ordered and
Mills claimed the door, and his claim was
recognized by the Speaker. Thereupon
Mills yielded the door to Bland, who said
lie understood that a resolution was to be
reported from tiie Committee on Rules to
limit debate on the appropriation bill.
He wished, if in order, to mako an
amendment to Che resolution, and that
amendment was that a certain day should
be fixa d for the consideration of the Sen
ate silver hill.
The Speaker said that tho pending
question was upon the approval of the
journal.
Bland—"l suppose the Speaker intends
to throttle this bill either in committee
or in tho House." [Cheers from the
Democrats.]
Bland then read his proposed substitute
making the free coinage of silver bill a
continual order from and after January
rth. He should, ho said, insist on that
motion until the tth of March.
Rogers of Arkansas said the Demo
crats want d a fair administration of tho
rales which t_e Speaker had himself
made.
'Whenever," ho said, indicating the
Speaker, "you or any othor gentleman,
and you especially, because you hohl the
third highest position in the gift of the
people, violate the rules, you are a revo

ilenderson of Illinois—"How long is
the House to be subjected to this dis
order? How iuuch longer is tho House to
sit and. hear its Speaker insulted day after
day? Hereafter these insulting 'words
will be taken down."
Tho Speaker—'•The Chair desires to say
to the House that one reason why no ex
pects that in due time his services to this
country will be appreciated, is because of
the virulent attacks mado upon him. the
personal nature and character of which
this House can understand. The Chair
endeavors at all times'to.administer the
rules of the House as he understands
them, and as the House sustains his de
cisions, the Chair will continue to do so
as long as he occupies the exalted position
to which ho was elected."
Mills of Texas said the Chair had not
given the House or tho country any rea
son or authority for his decision yester
day relative to the approval of the journal,
but he simply informed the House, "I
am, sir, an oracle; whenlopen mv mouth,
let no dog bark."
The Speaker—"The gentleman's time
expired."
The journal was then approved—yeas
155, nays ILS—ls_ Republicans voting.
Gannon of Illinois, from the Committee
on Rules, reported a resolution providing
that the previous question be considered
as ordered on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill,and all pending amend
ments, at 5 o'clock, and moved the previ
ous question on its adoption. It was so
ordered.
Bland proceeded to argue in favor of
his proposition to fix Tuesday next for
ihe consideration of the free coinage bill,
when ho was calico to order hy the
Speaker on the ground that ho was dis
cussing a matter irrcvant to the pending
gui stieil.
McMillin of Tennessee attacked the
Committee on Rules Car bringing in the
resolution, and Cannon defended its ac
tion.
McComosof Maryland said the majority
Of the House would rule, and in the face
of all obstruction would support tlie brave
and manly Administration, which has
stood by the banner of Republican rule.
Bland moved to recommit the the reso
lution, with instructions to the Commit
tee on Rules to report a resolution dis
charging the Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures Irom further con
sideration of the silver bill, and further
providing that the bill shall be made the
special order for the 27th of January.
Apoint of order against tho resolution
was sustained by the Chair.
McMillin, Springer, and others pro
tested against tiie ruling, but the Speaker
refused to entertain their appeal, and
also ruled out of order a motion by
Springer to adjourn.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll on
the adoption of the resolution reported
by Cannon, and it resulted yeas 15X nays
!_!.
Tho House finally went into Committee
ofthe Whole on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. After debate, the
committee rose and reported the bill to
the House.
While the roll was being called on the
amendment a body of Democrats left thc
hall, leaving a bare half-dozen of their
members. Tne result was that uo quorum
voted, and the Speaker being unable to
note a quorum, the House adjourned.
POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
THE MONTANA DEADLOCK RE
MAINS I'XBUOKEX.
Results or the Ballots for United States
Senators in Various
States.
Helen* a (Mont), Jan. 21.—Since tho
rejection of the. proposition for a compro
mise of the legislative troubles in Mon
tana by tho Democratic members of the
House, there has been a strong demand
by the business men for a settlement.
As the result, it is stated that the Demo
crats will make a proposition to-morrow
that twenty-five members of each party,
whoso election is undisputed, go into one
house; that three of the Democrats who
claim scats from Silver Bow County and
two ofthe Republicans also come in, and
the Republicans bo given the organiza
tion of the House.
It is believed that the Republicans will
accept the compromise, and the deadlock
thus bo ended.

The sooner the ground can be plowed
in the spring the better, especially on
heavy soils. During the warm days that
sometimes occur in the winter plowing
may be done, provided the ground is not
too wet for work. It will not interfere
with later plowing, for the later plowing
will only serve to reduce tho soil to a finer
condition. Xo doubt an objection may
be urged against plowing at a time when
the ground may be wet, but the frost will
pulverize tho lumps and make the soil
mellow. To plow early, leave the ground
in tho rough, and cross-plow later; then
harrow down tine for the crop, will be of
great advantage to the crop, allowing
more plant food, lessening tho damage
from drought and warming tho soil, as
well as preventing the baking of tho top
soil to a certain extent. When the manure
is not decomposed in the heap it must de
compose in the soil beforo tho plants can
utilize it as food, and the sooner the
manure is spread the better it will be for
the crop.
As it is difficult to spread manure on
plowed ground, owing to tho labor of
hauling over the rough, soft ground, the
method practiced by those who plow
twice is to spread the manure on the on
plowed ground, plow it under and leave
the ground in the rough (not harrowing),
and when the land is cross-plowed later
on (he manure is more intimately mixed
with the soil. The early plowing also
destroys cutworms and grubs, and allows
the frost to go down deeper into the
ground. It may lie mentioned that the
Croat will pulverize the soil much better
Ulan can bo done by any mechanical pro
*_***. and it will save labor if allowed to
work on the clods and lumps, which are
reduced bythe expansion and contraction
of (sold and boat.
To plow twice instead of once appears
laborious, but it is not economical to
withhold any labor or other expense that
will result in a gain. later on. If better
results can be derived from the manure,
and the ground can be worked more
easily In the summer, by reason of the
excellent condition of the soil 'due to the
careful early preparation) tho labor of the
summer season will be lessened, the only
increase of labor being in harvesting the
larger crop, to which no farmer will Lave
any objection.— Philadelphia Record.
THE FARMER.
A farm is a complete factory, where the
staple is grown and converted into pro
ducts entirely different from the origi
nals. The farmer has his raw materials
at his door, and he selects for his purpose
those best suited for manufacturing into
articles that are mostly in demand at his
nearest market. The farmer is, through
the agency of his animals, a manufact
urer of butter, milk, wool and meat, and
the better his goods the higher the prices
he obtains. He is compelled to compete
in the markets with others who are en
gaged in the same' enterprise, and in
order to cheapen his articles in cost and
crowd his rivals aside he must resort to
the easiest, most inexpensive and best
machines for his purpose. What the ma
chine is to tho cotton manufacturer the
animal is to the farmer. It is his ma
chine for utilizing the raw material ofthe
farm. To secure the best results tho best
kind ofa machine must be used—one that
will not waste the raw material or turn
out an inferior article. And the better
the raw material the more efficient the
machine and the lower the cost of manu
facture.
The farmer should not engage in his
business without a knowledge of the ma
chines (the breeds) for his purpose. He
cannot secure a large amount of milk
from a beef-producing animal, or meat in
choicest shape from a milk-producing
one. Nor must he expect to secure the
largest amount of milk from material
that can be best converted into meat, or
expect to realize tho most unless he
adapts tho machine and the materials to
the proper conditions for manufacture.
The farmer is as much compelled to
■watch the markets, and push his sales, as
well as introduce his articles, as tho mer
chant, ami it is just as important for him
to keep accounts, and avoid risks and
loss as it is to have all his animals and
farming implements up to the required
standard and capacity for realizing, to the
full extent, all that it is possible to se
cure. The farmer also has the advantage
of being able to annually increase his
supply of raw material by manufacturing
into manure all that cannot be utilized
into some salable product. The success
of the farmer depends more on the intelli
gent management of the farm than upon
the farm itself, for, after all, it is by tho
use of the animals best adapted for the
objects in view ti iat the farm is made to
pay.— Philadelphia Record.
POULTRY CROSSES.
A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
asks that paper if i-.ossbred fowls make
good farm chickens. It answers:
. '• Most certainly they do, and the first
cross producing half-bred fowls presum
ing that the mother hens arc the ordinary
mixed blood ofthe farm, will bo the most
satisfactory. __nj reason of this is as wo
breed up we get less and less proportional
blood. For instance: The first generation
is liaif-1 iloods, the second generation, us
ing full-blood males, gives three-quar
ters blood. The third, seven-eighths. So,
every succeeding generation gives less
infusion of tho pure blood. There is
aimth.r reason why the first cross is so
marked. This is in the prepotency of
the male. In succeeding generations the
inferior qualities of tho original female
(common bred) birds are apt to crop out
through atavism, or the rocurrance ofthe
original type of the mother, and espec
ially of imperfections. Our advice for
farm breeding for eggs and for market
able chicken supply, is to cross breed
from some pure breed you like, and at
the same time breed pure" fowls, male and
female, not necessarily from premiums,
and consequently very high-priced birds,
yet from those that are essentially pure.
Thrn sell otf your mixed fowls and keep
your flock pure and at the same time
stout, by proper infusion of blo«xl bred
in line with your own. But if your aim
is to produce premium fowls, asa fancier,
then a close steady must be made of the
points of the birds as well as the
cnaructeristies."
FARM NOTES.
Buttermilk is sometimes too valuable
for the pigs. L'se it instead of water
when makine bread, and use it as a
drink on the table.
While "agriculture is the first and no
blest ofthe sciences," stock-raising is the
right anu of agriculture.
More attention should be paid to teach
ing young horses to walk fast than is
done. A fast-walking horse is a desider
atum not often met with.
Cold milk will chill the pigs as quickly
as cold water. On severe days give warm
milk to the hoars and pigs early in the
in. ■ ruing as an mvigorator.
Haifa million of dollars is estimated as
the sum derived in New York City and
its suburbs from the sale of flowering
plants for the adornment of windows.
Several years since a gardener discov
ered that by planting his squash seeds in
earth that had a layer of coal ashes above

by .tit-worms.
Corned and smoked mutton are deli
cacies in Scotland, and corned mutton is
there regarded as the equal of corned beef.
The suggestion is one worth of adoption
in this country.
A process has been adopted in Eng
land, which is said to be successful, of
freezing milk solid and distributing it in
solid blocks. The process has tlie ad
vantage of enabling tt to be stored iv case

To feed young lambs, after they begin
to eat, make a pen,'and have a trough in
the pen. The opening into the pen should
be only large enough to admit the lambs,
which will prevent them from being
robbed by the adults.
■ One of the most important matters for
the farmer to look after is the insurance
on hi.s buildings. It is often deferred
until tiie very itay it is due. and many
instances are known of losses a few hours
after the policy had expired.
Feed your turnips to your sheep, ami
the owes will be in better condition at
lambing time. Too much grain may
cause the ewes to have milk fever. Bulky
food should also be given liberally.
Clover hay is excellent for ewes.
We know a man who makes his hens
"hoc" his garden, at least partially. Ho
makes a long box with slat sides and top
which will just fit between the rows, and
in this contrivance the hens are left to
scratch to their hearts' content. — Rural.
j Farming the land without feeding it is
like drawing milk from the cow and al
j lowing no food. There is nothing i»i the
land but that which is added to the soil,
except its primitive elements, which soon
become exhausted by supplying food to
plants.
Feed your roots to stock at this season.
Turnips, mangels, carrots, parsnips and
potatoes. A change of food will prove a
benefit to the stock. Dry food through
the winter causes the .->to<-k to gradually
lose appetite. They desire a succulent
ration.
Machinery is accomplishing wonders
for agriculture. It is stated that in Kansas
biscuits were eaten that were made- from
Hour, tho wheat of which tho Hour was
made having stood in the field, in a grow
ing condition, ninety minutes before the
biscuits were madej
It literally makes one's blood run cold
to step into some stables and pens these
cold days and see how little attention is
given to the warmth of animals. And
they are expected to thriveand fatten just
tho same. Weather strips over crevices
and straw for beds save feed.
Pansies require a rich, moist loam, and
to be protected, as far as possible, from
the midday sun, and from winds, and
during tho warmer summer weather
should not be allowed to get dry. In this
country pansies are generally raised from
seed and for one crop of bloom only.
Cut straw can be used for so many dif
ferent purposes, in the shape of bedding,
as well as for food, that it really possesses
a greater value for the farmer's uses than
the prices quotetl for straw in the mar
kets. No farmer should sell his straw.
It is worth more on the farm than can bo
realized by its sale.
The feeding of heifers for tho first year
determines their value. It is easy to
spoil the best bred one by high feeding or
rough treatment. Grass and roots, bulky
food that has a tendency to enlarge the
intestines and strengthen the digestive
organs, aro much better for heifers than
rich concentrated food.
Tho great secret of raising largo shoots
(if asparagus is to give the plants plenty
of room. Set the plants or roots in rows
four feet apart and three feet apart in the
rows. Keep the land free from weeds and
manure every year on the surface. >.'o
man who has a plot of land should be
without an asparagus bed.
Improved methods of preparing honey
lor market are, lirst, to inclose the frame
without glass in a paper box when re
moved from the hi\e; second, place thin
strips of wood on each side ot the box,
one side being partially covered witii
isinglass. The consumer has no reason,
to pay tho price of comb honey for heavy
glass.
Guinea fowls wiU go into a house to
roost if they have been accustomed to it,
though they like to choose a place for
themselves, and havo a decided liking for
trees. It is necessary to keep them in
pairs, as they are monogamous. They
are not remarkably belligerent, but it is
not advisable to confine them with other
fowls.
There are people who havo been milk
ing cows and making butter for forty years
and yet know nothing about tho philoso
phy ofthe business. There are beginners
who, of course, know little or nothing
about it; neither, perhaps, think much of
the dairy as a farm industry. A thorough
study ol the subject would likely change
the minds of both.
To mark tools, first cover the article to
be marked with a thin coating of tallow
or beeswax; then withia sharp instru
ment, write the name in the tallow. Clear
with a feather; fill the place written—the
letters—with nitric acid; lot it remain
from ono to ten minutes, then dip in
water and rub off, and the marks will be
etched into tho steel or iron.
Long warts on cows' teats can bo cured
by clipping them otf close to the skin,
then coat the wound with powdered sul
phate of copper. If the warts are broad
and flat, moisten them with a strong solu
tion of sulphate of copper. Before this
application rub the corroded surface with
sand-paper, which prevents soreness.

Many a farmer is daily enviously com
plaining because he has not money
enough to buy a lot of pure bred cows
To improve what he has by better feed
ing and care, tho use of green fodder
crops wheu the pastures fail and good
winter keeping, and so on, would bo bet

Have a smoke-house and smoke your
meat. It will add to its flavor and assist
in its preservation. It aliords a change
ot diet from fresh or salt meat, and for
cooking with some kinds of vegetables
has no substitute. One advantage in
raising hogs to provide meat for homo
use is that of feeding hogs in a manner to
produce meat better than can be easily
procured elsewhere.
When should horses lie allowed to
drink? In France some worthless horses
were killed for dissection to determine
whether water should be given before or
alter eating. It was found that in those
given water after feeding some of the
grain eaten was undigested in tho intes
tines twenty reet beyond the stomach
and that it had caused inliammation of
the mucous membaane.
The method of corn-shell ing pn-ctieeel in
Mexico, according to the report ofthe
Lnited State Consul at Manzar.illo, is as
follows, A lot of cobs aro tied together in
a round bundle of any convenient size
which a man kneeling down takes be
tween his knees, and with an oar in each
hand, rubs them across the upper larger
surface ofthe bundle. The shelling is
done speedily and ell'ectively.
A feed trough should never be used for
poultry, nor should food be kept beforo
the hens in a feed hopper. When feed
ing poultry it is better to scatter the
grains in order that each hen should hunt
tor herself, and each secure her share is

The feed hopper induces overfeeding, and
the hens soon become too fat to lay."
Fresh charcoal absorbs gases very
readily, and may be used advanta-reousl v
for absorbing odors, It is claimed for it
that when added to manure it absorbs
ammonia, forming a store-house of that
substance, which it releases when the
roots apply for it. The dark color of the
charcoal is also said to make the ground
warmer by absorbing heat. There i.s also
a small proportion ot" potash in charcoal.

never be very hot, or it will cive otf a „as

important thing in such an arrangement
is to have b little ] U)S o from tho outsido to

We know a Dakota lady farmer, says
the Farmera' _t_rtet.,who In starting Into
w__tat-growing several years ago had all
her first wheat hand-picked by Norwegian
women. Since then, by takin<r special
pains to prevent the introduction of foul
seed, she has been able to hold and sell
every crop for seed at a considerable ad
vance on current prices. Flax seed so
Cleaned and sowed on new land, and tho
crop weeded each year, would produce
seed that would sell for seeding far above
that of the market price.
Tho use of sulphur in bleaching dried
or evaporated fruits r-tves them an at
tractive white color, but injures tho qual
ity. This is given as the main cause of
the low prices of evaporated fruits daring
the past year. Undoubtedly it is true to
a great extent. Fruit growers who evap
orate their strplns product will take the
hint and f-ive up using sulphur. It is
nseles to kick against the demand. If
tho market demands fruit dried without
sulphur tho wise man will cater to this
want. — New Entjlaud Homestead.
