The most suitable way to wean a
foal is to begin to keep him from his

about p. m. to about 6 a. M, finally
parting them some morning or some
evening. $780,

be taken not to allow the mare to have

it, lift its feet up. etc, without its Of
fering any resistance is work that
involves a certain amount of time, but
the time spent now is time saved when
the foal is old enough to be broken in.
If the foal meets with an accident or
falls a victim to some Of the numerous
ailments to which horsefiesh Is liable,
foal which has been handled is far
easier to doctor than one which has
never been touched.
After mare and foal have been final
~ separated the foal may be kept in a
loose box, out Of the hearing of other
horses If possible. for two or three
days. and 1t may then be turned out in
the daytime and fetched up at night.
A foaPs future depends great deal
on how it is treated during the first
winter of it's existence; therefore to do
full justice it is essential that 1t should
be literally but not lavishly fed from

To keep foal on short commons
with the idea of reducing the cost of
the keep is according to the old say
ing, cent wise and dollar foolish.
Foals invariably do best when they
have company, and if two or three
foals can live together so much the bet
ter. Before they are turned out in the
morning they may have a feed OF
crushed oats. chopped hay and bran.
The same ration may be given when
they are brought in again at night
with the addition of an armful OF
whole hay.
An occasional linseed mash may
also be given. as it is beneficial In
keeping the bowels open
Two or three pieces Of rock salt il
the manger for them to lick Is also a
good thing.
After the mare has left the foal step
must be taken to suppress the secre

may be given.
A small quantity of milk may be
drawn away daily, and rubbing the
udder with molasses has also beer
found beneficial.
A dose Of physic will also hasten the
process. but it should be withheld II

PROMINENT MAN DEAD.

David c. Black, one of the most
prominent citizens of Centralia, and
father-in-law of Register and Re-
corder Miller, dropped dead at his
home last Sunday evening at 7
O clock. He had been having trou-
bic with his heart, but only Jew
hours before his death he telephon-
ed his daughter, Mrs. Miller, say
ing that he was feeling very we'll.

the family taking up their home at
Minersville. AT the age of 2I years
he went to Centralia where he has
since resided.
He has been a merchant in Cen
tralia for many years and was serv-
ing his fourth term as justice of the
peace. During his life he held a
number of borough offices.
Surviving him are his wife and
FIVE children: Mrs. Frank w. Mil
Ter, of Bloomsbury; Mrs. DR.. Camp
bell, Sallie, Adelaide and Tillie.

FISH FRY.

A Danville special to the MorM
american says: There arrived in
Danville one of the largest consign-
ments of fish fry ever sent from the
state hatchery at Erie. There were
twelve cans, all containing wall
eyed pike fry, and consigned to
residents of that town. The fish
were at once taken to the river and
deposited in the stream. This con-
signment of fish fry is the first of a
number that will be received in
Danville this. season. There is an
organized movement all along the
north branch of the Susquehanna
to restock the river with fish and
again make the stream one of the
finest fishing grounds in the coun-
try. The movement to restock the
stream originated among a coterie
of enthusiastic anglers in Danville,
and they have enlisted the co oper-
alton Of fishermen in other towns
and cities along the river, with the
result that millions of young fish
will be put in the stream this spring.
From Danville alone twelve appli-
cations have been sent TO the differ
ent hatcheries in the state. The
fish asked for are wall-eyed pike,
pickerel, black bass, sunfish and
yellow perch.

FRUIT OUTLOOK.

Averting to the reported destruc-
tion of this years fruit crop, by the
recent freezing weather and the
snow in some sections of the state,
which as usual is an exaggeration
of actual conditions, farmers here
abouts are authority in saying that
it is entirely too early to determine.
1t is the presumption Of those un-
familiar with fruit growing that
every frost is fatal that gives cur
rency to the stale joke about the
frequent destruction of the peach
crop. Peach trees blossomed in un-
usual abundance this year. They
were subjected to light touches of
frost while in full bloom and suffer
ed no injury, at least on high
ground. In some sections they
showed no sign of harm. Yet the
tiny fruit may have been so weak
ened that all will fall from the
branches. Then, again, many
peaches may go to maturity. 1t is
so with other fruits. The ordinary
hard apple was caught in open bios
som-its most tender stage, but a
few days will be required to deter
mine whether there will be no ap-
pies. A so-called "black frost" in
May, 1891, preceded an autumn
famed for its abundance of fruit of
all kinds. Inquiry among the farm
ers and fruit growers of this sec
ton fails to justify the claim that
the fruit crop is seriously injured.
Many of the best fruit growers de-
clare that the blossoms have not
been injured at all.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

AT the convention of the Episco-
pal church in Lock Haven last
week the Bishops salary was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000, with $500 for
travelling expenses, and $500 for a
stenographer.
A resolution was offered provid-
ing that no parish can be admitted
to union with the convention that
does not pay the rector a salary of
at least $1,000 and house rent. It
goes over until next convention
when it will be defeated, as it ought
to be.
The following officers of the dio-
cese were elected: Colonel Chas.
M. Clement, Sunbury, secretary;
w. K. Alricks, Harrisburg, treas
urer; Frank c. Angle, Danville,
registrar, and c. LaRue Munson,
Williamsport, chancellor. Bishop
Darlington made the announcement
that Harrisburg would be the PERM

ONE INDUSTRIOUS REPRESENTA-.
TIVE.

The lesson to be drawn from the
records Of the session of Congress
just closing is not hattering to the
pride of thoughtful American citi-
zens. Early in the session we pre-
dicted that the session would not
be one Of achievement. AS a rule
sessions Immediately preceding
Presidential campaigns are not fruit
full. But it is within the lines of
conservatism to say that no session
in the history of Congress has been
so completely wasted. The major
ity has not only failed absolutely to
enact important and greatly needed
legislation but it has encouraged
vicious and profligate legislation.
So far as this district is concern
ed there is no ground for complaint
but that is the result of the vigi-
lance and efficiency of Our own Rep
resentative, Hon. John G. McHen-
ry. He was most patient and
tireless worker in the interest of
the people and though he failed in
his expectations at times he sue
ceeded far beyond the average.
The Shamokin post Office appropri-
alton, the progress made in getting
more liberal pension legislation and
the adoption of his ideas concern
ing a bureau of mines and mining,
an emergency currency and guar
anteed bank deposits are ample
proofs of his adaptability to the
work, But the success of one men,
Der only emphasizes the failure of
the body.
The trouble with the present
Congress is that it is dominated by
politicians rather than by states
men. The Republican leaders of
both branches are men of long and
varied experience but they lack in
initiative. John G. McHenry,
though serving his first session in
any legislative body, introduced
more important legislation and ex-
ercised more influence for good in
the legislation of the session than
all the Republican leaders put to-
gether. No act of public merit
which passed the session or was
seriously considered, bears the I'M
press of the mind of Cannon, Payne
or Dalzell. But most of the useful
measures got material help from
John G.. McHenry and many of
them were suggested by him.

noon was taken up with registra-
ton Of students, addresses by men,
bers of the faculty, and other de-
tails incident to the occasion. In
the afternoon the program was ar
ranged and ten minute recitations
given for the purpose of assigning
work for the following day.
More than one thousand dollars
was received by the treasurer from
tuition and the sale of supplies.
The enrolment for the first day
was no. Since then the number
has increased to about 100.

THE BLACK DIAMOND.

When asked whether the Black
Diamond Express would again be
placed on the road, Superintendent
Kinney said that whether it would
or not was uncertain, but if traffic
did not pick up that it probably
would not. AT least he had no
definite information on the subject.
On the whole the Lehigh returns
from passenger traffic have not
greatly fallen off, bnt this is due in
a large part to the fact that this
train, which was very expensive,
has been taken of and the passen-
gers that would naturally ride on it
have been compelled to take the
other trains.
