How to Care for Colts.

Correspondence Farming World.
In order to winter a colt well and have him
come out in the spring a snowy, sturdy animal,
particular attention must be paid to his growth
during the first summer and autumn. If the
mares milk is insufficient to keep the colt in
sort at once to cows milk. Skinned milk ans
wers very well for this purpose, especially if a
little flax seed jelly oil or cotton seed meal is
mixed with it. A heaped tablespoonful night
and morning is enough to begin with, when the
colt is a month old-this can be gradually in
creased to a pint per day by the time the colt is
six months Ole, or double this ifthe colt is of the
large farm or cart-horse breed. Oats may also
be given as soon as they can be eaten. Begin
with a half-pint night and morning and gradd-
ally increase, according to the age and size of
the animal, to four quarts per day. These, to-
gether with the meal above, should be supple
mented with a couple of quarts of wheat bran
night and morning. The latter is excellent to
prevent worms and helps to keep the bowels In
good condition.
Colts should not be permitted to stand on a
plank, cement, paved or any hard floor the first
year, as these are liable to injuriously affect the
feet and legs. Unless the yard where the colts
run in the winter has a sandy or fine, dry, gray
ely sold. it should be well Uttered, so as to keep
their feet dry. Mud or soft, wettish ground is apt
to make tender hoofs. no matterh how well bred the
colt may be. The reason why the horses in one
district grow up superior to those III another in
hoof, bone, muscle and action, is because it has
a dry, limestone or silcious soil. When the
work season comes in the hot days of summer,
do not let the colt run with its dam from morn
ing until night; and when the mare comes home
from her work heated, allow her to cool off be
fore sucking the colt, or milk out a little with
your hand. as her overheated milk is liable to
give the colt diarrhea.

The Question of Control.

LONDON, May 29.-The Pail Mall Gazette de
clares that Granville's request to Turkey to send
10, 1000 troops to the Soudan is more serious far
than the scheme of multiple control. TIL Min
listers knew what Granville was doing when he
proposed to surrender to France, but they were
aghast when they heard the proposal to Turkey
to send troops. Turkey, on Tuesday, signifed
its acceptance of this proposition, and it is not
clear how the Cabinet can repudiate Turkeys
acceptance without insisting upon Granvilles
resignation.
The same paper says the Egyptian conference
will meet on June %. Before that time the
question of multiple control and the limit of En-
glish occupation, concluded between Waddington
and Granville, win have been agreed to by the
other powers.

Should you set a bed, be not ambitious for one

grow. Select o plat as free from weeds as any
in your garden. Prepare your ground thorough

rs the strawberry is ii great feeder. For the va
riety to plant, select one requiring but compare
lively little care, as, at first, vigorous growth is
of more consequence than quality. Set your
plants three feet between rows, and two feet be
tween plants in the row, if planted in the spring.
During the summer, hoe between the plants,
keeping the ground mellow. AS the runners be-
gin to form, firm the earth around the new roots,
at the same time placing them in such position
as to allow room to fruit the next year without
becoming too crowded. Keep free from weeds.
A light dressing of fine manure. a few times dur
ing the season, will not be out of place. Should
YOU have more than one row, so cprtall
runners as to leave a path between rows to
pick from. In the fall, after the ground be-
comes frozen, cover the beds with a mulch as
free from seeds of weeds as possible. In the
spring, after danger from frost is over, uncover
the plants, leaving sufficient of the mulch in the
paths TO keep the berries clean. Should any
stray weeds appear, pull them up. With this
treatment, a good crop will usually repay your
labors. More failures are made by beginners,
from having toe large a bed to commence with,
than from all other causes combined. The sec

and sor4e one else will be picked out. 1t is far
from certain that Senator CullOm will place
LOGAN before the convention. Some of his

made chairman, while some of the most active

Frere died to-day.
The deceased was born in England in 1915. In
1884 he entered the Indian civil service, and
after holding some revenue appointments be
came, in 1912, secretary to Sir George Arthur,
then Governor of Bombay. In 1856 he proceeded
to Scinde, in the capacity of British president.
and was made chief commissioner there in 1860.
He was created a K. c. B. in 1859, in considera-
ton of his services during the Indian mutiny,
and the thanks of Parliament were twice voted
to him. In March, 1862, he was nominated Gov
ernor of Bombay, whence he returned to Eng
land in 1867. He was created a knight grand
cross of the order of the Star of India, and was
nominated a member of her Majesty's
Indian council at home. In October, 1872, he
was sent by the British government as special
commissioner to eastern Africa, to inquire into
the slave trade. Arriving at Zanzibar, March
II, 1873 he induced the Sultan Of Zanzibar to
sign a treaty abolishing that traffic. Returning
to England he was made a member of the Privy
Council and president, with the freedom of the
city of London. Subsequently, he visited India
in the suite of the Prince of Wales, and in Jan
uary, 1877, was appointed Governor of the Cape
of Good Hope, and high commissioner for South
Africa. During that year the Kafir war oc-
CURED, and Sir Bartle at once proceeded to
British Caffraria, depoSed the Galeka chief
and annexed his country to the Queens
dominions. In 1873 this war broke out
again with renewed strength. Other powerful
chiefs combined with those already in %insurrec-
ton, and what promised to become a most seri
Gus outbreak was only finally quelled by the dis
play of great frmness and energy on the part Of
Sir Bartle, who was but i'll supported in his eff
forts by the British Ministry.
For many years he occupied the position Of
vice president of the Royal Geographical Society.
He was also president Of the Royal Asiatic So
ciety, and of the Society for the Propagation Of
the Gospel in Foreign Parts. He was also the
author Of a number of books, most of which
treated of the work of the church in missionary
fields

The Temporary Craftsmanship.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
There was some talk yesterday concerning the
temporary chairman of the convention. Major
William Mckinley, of Ohio, who was unseate d
by the Democratic House on Tuesday, is the
most frequently mentioned. 1t is argued that
he has many strong points in his favor. He is a
skillful parliamentarian He is one of the Re-
publican leaders in Congress. He is an Ohio
man, and was a close friend of Garfield. He is
a man of quick perception and decision. He is
sturdy in maintaining a point, and would not let
the convention get away from him. He is an in
cisive, emphatic speaker. and a man who can
strike the main points in a speech ia a ringing
way. He was elected as an unpleged delegate,
and while he is supposed to be a Sherman man
at first, it is known that he is warm friend both
to the President and to Mr.. Blaine. 1t will be
difficult to find all these qualifications in any
other man. An Edmunds delegate said yester-
day that he believed there was a disposition to
elect an Edmunds man chairman, and George
William Curtis was suggested. Mr.. Curtis will
be here Saturday morning. 1t is objected to
him that he has talked as if he would not sup
port the nominee of the convention whoever
that may be. The talk about Cullom never
amounted to much, and / it has been dropped.

The Prosecution o Lord St. eonard

Il. James y GaLttNt-
1t is at least satisfactory to remember how
very rarely in our later history it has been
found necessary to set the machinery of the
criminal law in motion against a peer. During
the whole reign of George III but two peers
we're tried by the House of Lords. one being
Lord Melville, on the impeachment of the Com
mons, in 1906. But this was more or less of a
political prosecution. The other peer was Will
lam, Lord Byron, tried for murder and found
guilty of m-anslaughter, in 1765. Eleven years
later occurred the last trial of a peeress before
the House of Lords, when tine Duchess of Kings
ton. more properly Countess of Bristol, was con
victed of bigamy. The three reigns following
that of George i'll furnish a single instance of
the trial of a peer by his peers Charged with
wounding Captain Harvey Tucket in a due,
Lord Cardigan was acquitted on a technical
point on the 10th of February, 1871 OF trials
of peers for ~offenses eognizable by minor tribu-
nails there have been extremely few during the
same period. One, which took place in 1852,

Fattening Cattle on Grass.

Minneapolis Tribune.
In Montana, as well as in Great Britain and
Ireland, the wealthiest and most independents
farmers are those who occupy large farms of
good grass lands, and who fatten ON grass and
sell annually large numbers of cattle. This class
of farmers are graziers; they keep very little
land in tiliage. Now in the valley of the Mis-
sippi, farmers who have good grass land should
devote at least a portion it to fattening stock.
Good two or three-year-old heifers and steers
kept on our usual rich pasture for four or five
months would probably pay better than any 9th
er industry. The money would all come to-
gether. and the cost Of transportation, compared
with that of cereals, would be trifiins. LII the
