June Chickens.

It is very easy to raise June chickens
and when several hundred are raised
they are very profitable. At this time
of the year there will be plenty of corn,
wheat and other grain for the hordes of
hungry chickens, and June chickens are
needed to pick up all of this waste ma
terial. Some good raisers always de-
mand June Matched chickens for breed
ing stock, because with plenty of grain
and bugs to eat, and good sunshine,
they get such a start in life al to pro-
duce fine healthy stock. If cleanliness
and c%arefulness are observed around
the roosting place very little loss will be
experienced from June chickens, while
early spring chickens die off by the
dozens.
As the summer goes along the breed
ing stock should be selected and the
others sold. Most Of them should. be
sold before the markets get their over
stocking, but a few of the strongest and
quickest growing one should be saved
for late winter roasters. June chicken
raising, because of its simpleness, can
thus be made very profitable. annie c.

THE CRONlN CONSPIRACY,

scanlon Says There Will he New and
Startling Developments.
New YORK, May 3O.-A special to
The World from Chicago says: It is
said that startling developments are
coming in the Cronin case. "Cooney the
Fox has been located and detectives are
now on his track. Cooney engaged the
looms in the Carlson cottage and assisted
in the butchery.
John F. Scanlon said: ''There will
certainly be new developments in the
Cronin case. It is inevitable. When it
comes it will be all at once and create as
great a sensation almost as did the
famous murder. I have always been
confident that the entire conspiracy will
come out. 1t has been reported that the
Cronin committee is short of funds.
The committee has all the funds needed
if they are needed. We act as de-
velopments arise. We have made
preparations to decorate DR.. Cronin's
grave on Memorial Day and some men,
bers of the committee will go out to
Calvary for this purpose"

DISSOLUTION DISCUSSED.
The English Cabinet Believes the Tories
Can Win a General Election.

The English Cabinet Believes the Tories
Can Win a General Election.
LONDON, May 2s.-Lord Salisbury
presided at the cabinet meeting and
looked none the worse for the accident
when his. %brougham was overturned.
The subject of dissolution was, it is re-
ported, again before the meeting and
the general opinion was decidedly in
favor of carrying out the already ex-
pressed intention of dissolving parlia-
ment before the close of June. Lord
Salisbury is said to be much encouraged
by advices which he has received from
all parts of three kingdoms, and while
he does not expect the sweeping MAORI
ties of 1886 he believes that the Con-
servatives have kept sufficiently
apace Of the increase of the voting
list to insure victory and a good ma
jority. The news from America that the
authorities of New York refused to raise
the British flag on the queens birthday
has caused a decided sensation, as it is
generally considered in England as a re-
Election not so much upon the queen as
the English people, in view of the fact
that other foreign flags are said to be
freely exhibited on the public buildings.
1t is said that Conservatives will make
free and effective use of the incident as
indicating a distinct unfriendliness to
the English people wherever the Irish
have political control, and as an argu-
ment for granting home rule to Ireland.

A SHIP
Talking of One Between AXE
Huron and Ontario.

Canadians Talking of One w Lake
Huron and Ontario.
TORONTO, Ont, May 2S.-Recent &C
ton at Washington looking to an en-
largement Of the American canal system
seems to have had the effect of urging
Canadians to increase their advantages
in competing for the immense traffic of
the lakes. A strong company of Cana
dian capitalists has been formed here to
carry out the plan of a big ship railroad
to connect Lakes Huron and Ontario.
The company has secured the services of
E. L. Corthell, a Chicago engineer, and
he has reported favorably on the practi-
cability Of the proposed railroad. The
route Of sixty-six miles from Toronto to
Collingwood is, he says, well adapted
for a railroad. He is satisfied that a road
can be constructed for between SIS, OOO,-
900 and SIG, 900, 900 capable Of conveying
vessels of 5000 tons between the two
lakes. Probably the Dominion and On
tario governments will grant subsidies
to the work, and the managing director
of the company will go to England to
try and raise money there.

Harrison and Blaine Supporters
Both Claiming an Easy
Victory.
Senator Pettigrew Is Confident
That the Secretary Will
Be Named,
While John G. New Thinks the
President Needs but One
Ballot:

New YORK, May 28.-The Blaine feel
ing, which has been expressed with a
mixture of fear for the past week by his
many supporters who have been congre-
eating in this city, has taken a decided
bull movement. Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, a delegate to Minneapo-
lis, was cautious and guarded in his
statements when he arrived here the
other day, but he has now evidently got
his bearings and is prepared to speak by
the card. He says
II confidently believe that Mr.. Blaine
will be nominated on the first ballot. I
see nothing to prevent it. In the section
from which l come there are only four
state delegations instructed for Harrison.
My own state delegation will cast its full
vote for Blaine. He will get eighteen
votes of the forty-eight delegates in ILL
nois, all but two of the six votes in North
Dakota and half the Minnesota delega-
lion. Montana will give him her six
votes, California her eighteen and other
states will follow suit"
j. M. Aspley, president of the Toledo,
Ann Arbor and Northern railroad, who
has announced his intention to do his
utmost for Blaine, said that the Pacific
slope should have a place on the ticket.
He thought that Blaine and Estee would
sweep the country. J. Sloat Fassett was
asked what he thought Of the ticket as
given above, he replied:
"Mr. Estee is a good man and it would
seem to me that the Pacific coast ought
to get what it wants"
"You are reported to nave said that the
person who is nominated is the man who
gets 451 votes. Are you prepared to say
that MI. Blaine will accept il be received
just 451 votes?"
"Well. really 1 did not ask Mr. Blaine
that question but l do not think hewould
accept under those conditions"
Mr.. Blaine, who was expected to ar
rive in Washington during the evening
has not left New York. Re remained
in his rooms at the Fifth Avenue hotel
all evening and had as a caller MI.
Platt, who remained with him some
time.

TALKING FREE COINAGE.

Discussion Of the Silver Bill in the Sen.
ate May Occupy All Week.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-There will be
but II leading topic of discussion in
the senate during the coming week-the
silver bill. The protests of Senator
Sherman and other opponents of free
coinage as to the in which the
bill was brought before the senate was
unavailing. 1t has the floor and will
keep it ~undisposed of to the exclusion of
all measures except appropriation bills
and routine business coming up under
the five minute rule. AS the object of
the silver men is to compel a vote on the
question before the Minneapolis conven-
ton on the 18th prox., their opponents
will endeavor to stave off a division by
prolonging the debate. The chances
seem to favor the anti-silver men so far
as postponing a vote is concerned. Mr..
Sherman can probably occupy all Tues
day by bis speech, and the elaborate ar
ray of figures by which it is to be
accompanied, against free coinage. Mr..
Morrill, will also speak on the same side
and some of the silver men-Peffer of
Kansas among the number who will
almost vie with MI. Morrill, of Alabama
in the length of his speeches-are pre-
pared to follow. Then there is the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill held in reserve, which MI. Hale can
report any day, and which will take the
silver bill off the floor for the time. At
least eight senators, four of them silver
men-Teller, Wolcott. Shoup and Eel
ton-and four anti-silver men-Higgins,
Cullom, Hiscock and Quay-are dele
gates to Minneapolis, and will be leav-
ing on Wednesday Or Thursday; and
there are others who will also desire to
participate in their party's council.
Consequently unless a vote can BE forced
on Tuesday or Wednesday there is a
likelihood Of decision being delayed till
after the Minneapolis convention and
possibly the Chicago convention, though
the nerve will be strained to reach a
vote before the latter event.
The most interesting occurrence ex-
pected in the house this week will be the
fight Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, will make
to call up his anti-option bill for consid-
GRAFTON. According to the chairman of
the committee on postoffices and post
roads, the postoffice appropriation bill
will not be finished until late on Wednes-
day, and Tuesday or next day MI.
Hatch will move that the %anti-option
bill be taken up. But the Democratic
caucus decided that the appropriation
bills should be considered seratim, and
that that rule will probably be adhered
to was demonstrated last week by the
house taking up the postoffice bill in
preference to Mr.. Hatch's bill. although
Mr.. Hatch's measure was defeated by a
tie vote. MI. Hatch will bitterly con
test this means and an interesting par
iamentary battle is expected.

He Thinks Nine-tenths of the Delegates
Are for Blaine.
PITTsBURG, May Ex-senator Quay is
in the city and has been beseiged with
callers. When asked if MI. Blaine's
name would be presented to the Repub-
lican convention Senator Quay replied:
81 think 700 delegates will present the
name of Jane G. Blaine to the Republican
national convention at Minneapolis on
June T."
"But hasn't Mr. Blaine refused to be q
candidate?" was asked.
ayes, he says he is not a candidate, but
that would not stop the delegates from
nominating him."
as it true, as published, that you stated
that Blaine would be ~nominated?"
"No, I never made such a remark, al
though 1 think nine-tenths of the dele
gates are for Mr.. Blaine"
"Have you any assurance that he would
accept the nomination ii tendered?"
~ know nothing about that. Isuppose,
however, that if he is nominated unan-
imously he can hardly refuse. l never
heard of any man refusing the nomination
for the presidency of the dominant party
after it had been made"

OFFER AN APOLOGY.

Canadian Officials Sorry for" the Flag
Episode at Montreal.
MONTREAL, May 2S.-Colonel Cole, of
the Montreal artillery garrison, called on
General Knapp, United States consul
general, and apologized for the outrage
committed by some irresponsible mem
bers of his corps in ordering thu
United States flag down from tho
various stores on the queens birthday.
He said that neither the officers of hiA
corps nor any of the military officers in
the city sympathized with those who
had taken the flags down. If the offend
ers were discovered they would be
severely punished. Consul General
Knapp has sent a statement of the facts
to Washington.

STARVING,
Refugees of Flooded Districts in Arkansas
Badly in Want of Food.

Refugees of Flooded Districts in Arkansas
Badly in Want of Food.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, May 29.-The
story of the flooded districts has not
been half told. There is not a thousand
acres of dry soil in Deshata county. All
the people have been rescued and are
now on high ground but actually starry
ing, so difficult Of access are they to the
relief steamers. All the big plantations
for forty miles in the Arkansas valley
are utterly ruined. At Shreveport, La,
the situation is growing hourly more Sc
rious on account Of the steady rising of
the river. 1t now seems that a general
overflow of the Red River valley is in
evitable. Thousands of people have
been impoverished. The steamers Wag-
ner and Howell are doing great work in
saving life and property in the over
flowed section. The Howell brought
from the lower river III men, women
and children rescued from levees and
high houses. The water is the highest
since 1S49.

Sultan Is Progressive.

LONDON, May 28.-Sir Charles Evan
Smith, British minister to Morocco, who
recently went to Fee on a diplomatic
mission, has been given an audience by
the Sultan. Among the matters dis.
cussed were the questions of Morocco
entering the postal union, the landing
of telegraph cables at Moorish ports,
and the construction of a railway from
Tangiers, the diplomatic capital, to Fee,
where the sultan generally resides. The
sultan expressed himself as favorable to
all these propositions.

HELENA, Mon, May 3O.-The funeral
of Colonel G. A. Broadwater, president
of the Montana Central railway, was the
most notable event of the kind in the
history Of Montana. Three special
trains were I'll on the Montana Central
from Grand Falls and Butte, and two by
the Northern Pacific from points on that
line. At least 5000 people gathered at
the Broadwater hotel, where the cere.
monies of the Episcopal church were
conducted. The arrangements were in
charge Of the Masonic order, and there
were 500 members in the line of the cor
tege. All the prominent men of the
state were persent, and many gentlemen
from q distance, including James J.
Hill, president Of the Great Northern.

Wisconsin Central Nav Withdraw.

CHICAGO, May 3O.-The Wisconsin
Central road threatens to withdraw both
from the Western Passenger association
and the Northwestern Blind Passenger
pool. AS yet it has given no formal
notice of such intention, but the officials
of the road hold that the action of the
Rock Island in severing it's connection
with the Passenger pool relieves it from
all obligations so far as agreements are
concerned, and they are inclined to
think that the best interests of the COM
pany they represent would be served by
giving such notice. They have the
matter under advisement, and it is be-
lieved the chances are in favor of the
withdrawal Of the Wisconsin Central
from existing passenger agreements.

Curing Hides.

Sailing hides should be done undef
cover. First, a layer of salt of about
n inch should be spread over the foorS
on the place intended for the hide pile. 4
Then on the salt spread out the first
hide, flesh side up, taking care that there
shall be no. folds or wrinkles. Cover the
hide completely with salt, and then put
OF the next hide as before, with another
layer of salt. It is necessary to havd
the hides spread smoothly, with plenty
Of salt between each hide, so that nd
portion of the hide will he left uncovl
cred. The quantity of salt necessary Isl
about forty or fifty pounds to a hide. ii
is generally a good plan to make the
outside of the hide pile a trife higher
than the center, Is this method allows
all the moisture to remain in the pile
and. prevents draining. This can be-
done by turning in the shanks and head
pieces and using plenty of salt. The
time to'salt a hide depends somewhat on
the climate, and in no case should the
salt be applied until it has lost its ami
NAL, heat.
This will take from eight to twenty
hours, according to the condition of TIL
weather. To be we'll cured the hide
should remain in the salt from ten to1
twenty days, as the case may be, and
then taken out, carefully shaken and
compactly tied into packages. 1t is q
mistake to cure hides in a vat, as it will
cause them to plump up and detract
from their weight when shipped. Be-
sides they will not make as good leather
as those not treated to a pickle, becom-
ing aanky. The lost weight cannot be
regained. The tendency of hides to dry
out in this climate can be overcome by
keeping them covered with dampened
burlaps or old carpets. If these obser-
vations are carefully noted there will be
no trouble with curing hides.-Field and
Farm.

Big Car Works Sold.

DAYTON, May 30.-The Barney &
Smith Car works, a plant second in size
and Importance only to the Pullman
works at Chicago, have been sold to New
York and Cincinnati capitalists at a
valuation of 81 $500, 900. The works
have been in successful operation for
forty years. They embrace many build
ings, cover thirty acres of ground, en-
ploy 1900 men, with a monthly pay roll
of $4,000. The deal by which the
change is effected has not been COM
pleted in all its details, but there is no
doubt of its contamination. The man
agement of the reorganized company
will continue in Dayton hands.

l L I. s,
SHEEP SHEARING TIME.

Do Not Take Of Too Early the Fleeces
H of Ewes with Lambs.
In we'll managed hocks of the mutton
breeds of sheep we are all familiar with
reports of p%henomenally large percent
ages Of lambs. Such a large increase in
a flock brings its responsibilities, that is
if we want to keep the twins and trip
lets going IN a growing basis equal to
single lambs. To make an approximate
approach to this we dare not in the first
place divest the dams of their winter
coat protection too early. Such an act
would be as suicidal as letting a fever or
smallpox patient out of a hospital with
out taking the necessary precautions
after the epidemic had run its course.
Surprising, then, that we determine to
postpone the shearing of the class Of
ewes indicated, and that on some farms
where they are kept we find clover or
blue grass making it's appearance, some
aockmasters may think this is enough
additional feed. We will say with all
Difference to them that it is not, and
would rather they would not consider it
OF much more account in its value than
a much needed green bite having medic
lnal properties. Indeed, we would rath.
er that they would not let the sheep re-
main more than an hour or two on green
pasture at a time until the grass becomes
less watery and until the Sheep get
gradually accustomed to the change.
We doubt not the flow of milk will be
materially increased, yet there are other
things to be considered.
The facts are that the experienced and
successful lockmasters have found that
at this season it pays them we'll to feed
literally of feed stuffs of such a nature
as they can get in their section of the
country, never forgetting to be specially
liberal with oilmeal. We will even in
sist on going a little further and say
that to obtain the best results the lambs
should have what is termed a "lamb
Creep" where they can run through into
a feeding place by themselves. This
place should, if possible, 10 so con
structed that the sun shines into every
corner Of it; the floor should be dry and
kept we'll bedded with bright, dry,
wheat straw; the feed should be oilmeal,
crushed or ground oats, and wheat bran.
Under such treatment as this there will
be no stinted, pot bellied lambs, and
whether they are afterward sold off to
other breeders or kept for breeding pur-
poses where they are raised, lambs so
handled are sure to have the right foun-
dation laid for future thrift and useful
ness.
Let us come back once more to the
shearing time of these ewes and say no
matter if we do delay the shearing of
them for three weeks or a month from
April l, we must even then see to it
that they have protection from inclement
days and cold nights. Where it has not
already been done not a day should be
lost in having the sheep barn or shed
thoroughly cleaned out of whatever
manure has accumulated during winter
and early spring, as a combination of
spring mud and heated manure in the
sheep barn will develop foot rot faster
than the most watchful shepherd can
attend to it, and then farewell thrift for
a season.-Cor. Breeders Gazette.
