WEARING COLTS.

From four to six mouths is the age
that most farmers wean their toals.
When it is necessary to use the mare
much either for farm work or road pur.
poses j; is better for both to wean the
ioa! ut four months. Weauing. az
formerly nracticcd was rather critical
period 10 the youngsters lie, especially
when the latter had neither been halter
broken, nor taught to cat grain, r,ots,
apples or anything Of the kind. Before
weaving, halter break the foa', using
strong, piiable, wei, fitted, head halter.
1t should also be taught to eat grain,
roots aud apples while running with It's
dam. This can be accomplished in a
few day BY feeding the mare in trough
large enough, to permit the colt to get its
nose in easily by the side Of its dam.
The potatoes, apples AID carrots should
be sliced. Ii it does not eat them
readily cut them iuto small pieces and
mig thcn, with oats 1t is much better
for the dam that tho weaving process
be gradual Probably the hes. method
is to hitch he mare and fJal in vide,
double stall, fastening the foal On one
side aud the mare on the other, So that
each can see the other. Care should Be
used not to hitch with too short Il halter
that the foal can hot reach the mare
For two or three days the foll should b.
allowed to suck three times day, giving
him less each time. Alter that let hin
with his dam ouly morning and night
diminishing the amount gradually Gael
meal for few days, and at the end Of ;
week let him suck only at ni.ht Tor tvs
or three days. At the eud Of this time
if the mare has been kept on hay with
out grain. she will be nearly dry, and tn
foal eau be taken off, Watch the mar
u few days, and milk her if necessary
Feed the ioal on bright, early cut hay
rowcn is Les,cr--and keep pail Of lres|
water within its reach. Feed cats ant
whea, bran, beginning with G. pint Gael
night and morning, and Increase grad
ually to one quart OF each twice day
Some prefer to have the oats bruised
that is, ground coarse. Ii the Ioa
lacks thrift nothing viii! start hin
quicker than cows milk. Tina; whlc'
has tecn skinned will cause az rapi
growth as the new milk. 1t is some
tunes desirable to wean colts at tire
months or even younger.--Er.

Production, east of the Cascades, has
commenced, FIR if every farmer should
grow whea, TO the extent Of his ability
to SOW and reap the result will b.
Immense Quantities for export. A
Pa!ouse paper says there has boon a vast
increase in acreage sown, and the years
to come will see yet greater proportlonate
increase. 1 there are now 10000 farmers
east OF the mountains and each one puts
in 100 acres Of wheat that yields twenty.
five bushels to the acre, the products
will be one hundred million bushels.
Such speculation figuring merely shows
the capabilities Of the country. There
are beyond doubt that many farmers
east of the mountains and it is not much
for any farmer to SOW 100 acres. There
seems to be no other crop to depend on
for the present SO wheat production
must largely creasc.-Oregonsaa.

DIR. cRoNIN's REMOVAL.

CHICAGO, May 27.--The following Is
published here: The police have been
out in possession Of startling facts con
ocrning Dr.. Cronin's murder. 1t has
been clearly shown by the dead man 5
friends that his removal was ordered By
a committee representing the Clan Ma
Gael society. Charges OF traltorous
conduct were preferred against bin a, II
meeting of the Clan Na,Gael camp
He was found guilty aud his death
ordered.
The charge was based on the state.
mcnt Of the British SPY, LsCaron, that
there were four more spies in America.
When LeCarou made that statement
before the Parncll commission he was
ordered to give the names. He said he
dare not, for ii.they were known they
would be murdered. Presiding Justice
Hammer then took him into an ante
room, and in the presence Of Sir Richard
Webster aud Sir Charles Russell,
Parnelrs attorney, LcCaron gave the
names. Within forty eighty hours after
this news was cablcl from London,
nearly every camp of the Clan Ma Gael
in America met aud passed resolutions
declaring in favor Of rigid hunt for the
foar spies. Suspicion, justly or unjustly
pointed at Cronin, and q committee was
appointed to try him. He was convicted
without a chance to make defense, aud
his assassins were brought here from
other cities to carry out.. the mandate oil
the committee, the latter chosen by ,
secret ballot.
His death wa. Ordered under a CLAUSE
in the Clan Ma Gaels by laws, which
say that man eau be removed fol
traitorous conduct.
For nearly nine mouths previous t.
The time Of the death sentence, he hat
been followed night and day by detect
ives whom his friends employed t
protect him against surprise. Th
detectives would have been GU his .trui
when he was murdered had not the iun'
been exhausted several weeks before
1t is asserted that the murderous con
spiracy would not have been euded will
Cronin had not the mutilated body beef
found. There were other lrishmen o.
the condemned list, and they would a
have shared Csoniu's fate had the chanc
to dispose Of them safely arisen.
1t is asser ed that W. J. Hines, n
attorney, Father Gleason, Captain A. I
U'Conner, Joha Dlrey and two other
have been tried, convicted, and Sci
fenced to die.
