Kansas is Proud of Her United States District Attorney. The people of Kansas are proud of the U.S. district attorney for Kansas, who has served the government in that office for the past seven years. He has good will as well as the endorsement of President Taft the attorney general, Senator Curtis and the Kansas delegation in Congress. save and except Joseph Bristow, who would like to have Mr. Bone bow down to him and beg him to vote for his confirmation. This Harry will not do, because he has read somewhere in the Holy Writ. "Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them" Mr. Bone is said to be one of the most vigorous prosecutors in America. He has no superiors and but few equals. He has succeeded in unearthing land frauds in the West and has broken up several gangs who were preying upon the people in Colorado and other states. He caused the packers of Kansas City to pay into the government several thousand dollars on olcomargerine falsely stamped and sold. He broke up the night riders in western Kansas who had set out to drive colored land holders from their claims He tried to get Governor Stubbs to assist. He convicted them in Wichita, worked up the evidence and caught them red-handed. He is a man who is calm and im passionate; a diplomat, always kind, jovial and never gets mad so any one can notice it. He has been in office six years and his clerks say he has he's first time to give a cross word to them. Mr. Bone came from Ashland to be private secretary to Governor Bailey. It was he who placed an electric buzz under the governor's bed when he got married causing some little annoyance to the newlywed couple until the trick was discovered. He often plays harmless jokes on his friends. He is one of the best entertainers to be found anywhere, always making it pleasant for those around him. His friends are legion. He fought Stubbs from start to finish, from the White House to the governor's office, and made him back up on every false statement made concerning the running of the district attorney's office. The president and attorney general have placed the stamp of approval on the forehead of Mr Bore, so what is the use of Bristow's continued wailing. Mr Bone is in big demand. Kansas would do well to some day place him in the presidential cabinet. He would make an ideal attorney general. Keep your eye on him. We look for great things for the fellow from the short grass country. A Progressive Citizen. George H.

Members of the legal fraternity throughout the country are discussing the severe rebuke administered Thomas B. Felder, attorney-general-elect of Georgia, by Judge Emory Speer of the United States court for using the word "nigger." Judge Speer became so provoked at Felder's constant use of the word that he threatened the attorney general-elect with disbarment unless he conducts himself in a more gentlemanly manner. Felder is counsel for several white planters who are under indictment for peonage. Last Saturday in outlining the case to the jury Felder repeatedly referred to the colored plaintiff as "nigger." Finally, Judge Speer said: "Mr. Felder, don't you think the future attorney general of the state of Georgia can spare us this 'nigger, nigger, nigger'? It sounds so unworthy of your own position at the bar to be aludi g to these poor creatures constantly in the lower terms of degradation." Felder replied notly, 'I think I know my duties and rights as a lawyer, an American lawyer, practising in an American court." Judge Speer retorted; "You are exceeding those rights, and if you insist upon using this language, which is nothing but an appeal to the lowest race prejudice, I will have to sever our relations not only in this case but in all cases in this court. I do not believe the American judiciary will operate the use of such language in the presence of a court of justice on the part of a gentleman who as a condition precedent to his admission to the bar has sworn to support the constitution and laws of the United States. Now I do not wish to do anything of the sort, but I beg of you to use the language of which I know you are capable, the language of a cultivated gentleman, and save as the never ending nigger, nigger, nigger. I want you to act as becomes a lawyer in this court Folder ignored Judge Speet's final remarks and resumed his address, but did not again use the word 'migger WICHITA Le William J. Parker, of New York, is making lively for his white competitor. He has been practicing only five years, and his practice extends to point pleasant and long branch. He has purchased a new car and is making good. r HANDY ROTARY TURF EDGER t —— PRevetving Whee) Makes Neat Edges te Lawn and Along Walk-- | ‘Tyre Can Wark It ' — } The mere moving of the grass te waly a small rartof the lIaber re quired to keep & Jann In attractive ehape.

SWISHER, Prop Salina, Kansas NOTES FROM MEADOWBROOK FARM By William Pitt Guard against the perch. Sunflower seed is hard to harvest. Dogs are also a drawback to sheep raising. Fir is better than tamarack for silo construction The depth to plow will depend upon the character of the soil A pig that is fed grain all his life usually falls to lay exposures Cows become much harassed by the heat, and snow it largely in their milk flow. The leaf roller is a little insect that in its larva stage is injurious to straw berries. When your town cannot pay for their feed, it's time to change the feed or the corn To do good work the cream separator must be level and on a good solid foundation. Allalfa is one of the oldest cultivated plants the farmers of the world have knowledge of. In cutting tractors of timber the owner should aim to grow a young and vigorous forest in place of the old one. If you have a match of anything green let the children run it. They will scratch up a lot of their running in wet. The slab enables the dairyman to keep more livestock on the same number of acres and at less cost if feed and labor. Only potatoes entirely free from disease should be planted for diseased seed will be sure to grow and diseased crop. The term "bush fruits" includes a great variety of small fruits, which are borne on low growing, upright or trailing woody stems. Every dairyman should conduct his business in such a manner that he can say to any man, "I am a dairyman and I am proud of it." There is no crop which will furnish as large an amount of nutritious feed for hogs as alfalfa after it has once gotten a good growing start. The farmer who plants corn that he is not sure will grow is acting or sensibly as the man who loads a gun with ball but no powder. Every successful poultry breeder is frequently asked which breed of poultry is the best and he as often has to say that there is no best breed. Provide clean dry hay or straw or a suitable material for the nests, now the material frequently and always when it becomes wet and soiled. Plan to raise a little stock of petral gurps on standard bird birds this sen- son. They will yield much more fat inflection and profit than a mixed flock. The liquid mixture contains a large part of the nitrogen added by the animal, and is therefore of especial value and should be taken up by straw or other litter. A whole lot of the trouble caused by the marketing of stale eggs is caused by the lack of nests. The ber hiders her nest and sometimes the eggs are not discovered for days. Bad health weak vitality of breeding stock, insufficient moisture on the lack of it in the incubation and the lack of attention on the part of the operator is the cause of chicks dying in the shell. More broilers squats and juices are being demanded each year. Of course, more are also being produced but there are plenty of good markets left for all the chicken products that can be produced. Spinach is one of the best things to grow. It is better to sow it in the fall for as a rule it cannot be sown early enough in the spring to get a good start. However we have been many fine beds of spring grown spinach. It should be borne in mind that the roots of alfalfa are fine and tender and are not liable to start well in a coarse or cloudy soil, so it is exceedingly important to put the seed bed in the very best condition, as fine as for garden seeds. Corn up the poultry yard. Corniness is essential in dairying. The cereberry is closely related to it currents. Corn there is the keynote of euc cornice dairy. Canker of culls is a disease that is some more seen in the pig. Seed potatoes should be carefully cared for traces of dry rot. Just to constant work with the cultu- tator weeds will grow in the potato field. keep a supply of wheat bran before all your chickens of all ages at all times The quality of the plant ripened tomato is much better than of house ripened fruits Soil that blows badly may be improved by scattering straw or manure over the surface Corn properly planted can be given its first working before the rows can be distinctly seen The production of milk reasonably free from bacteria is simply a question of cleanliness There is no better general feed than good green grass for growing and producing farm animals Here for incubation should be of a quiet disposition and on friendly terms with their keeper. It has been proven by many tests that village increases the production of nfl and lowers the cost. Touch the young colts to eat a mixture of crushed oats wheat bran and oil meal as soon as possible. The larger amount of feed an animal will come in all things considered, the more profitable will the animal be Now cow peas before you plow your potatoes for the last time. They will be up before the weeds get a start. Units of exceptional value, after the third year, cope the hen fatten and eat for the she will be fine for that purpose. The dry method of feeding chickens consists in supplying nothing but grain, from the commencement of their lives. In hunting a sure get one of the same strain as the mare unless she is a scrub. There is little to be gained in crossing The foremost method of cultivating alfalfa is with the disk harrow, one of the most excellent farm implement ever invented. A huffy seed corn, if it has not been frosted and has been properly stored, generally germinates practically as well as mature seed corn. Five dollars invested in package material will pay many times the investment in the better prices the fruit will bring when properly packed. Harley seed germinates slowly, have ground very fine. Cover seed with fine rich soil mixed with manure or grass. Keep soil moist. In not try to force nature. In atting young fries for the market give the whole proper food freedom from the ard nature will do the rest The future of the mutton crop depends upon the attention given the young lambe, and the degree to which they are kept growing from the start The first week young ducks should be fed corn flour made of corn parts of wheat Iran and cornical, a little bent milk and soda to raise, and a lit the salt Horses always bring a higher price in the spring than in the fall, as many pastures will horses in the fall, pre- ferring not to keep them through the winter. Now a patch of cow peas near the pasture yard. Do not harvest the peas when tip but turn the hems into them when the green grass disappears and they will thrive upon them. Agricultural experiments show that if it is necessary to fertilize the soil to secure a crop of twenty bushels of wheat per acre, it is even more neces- sary to fertilize for a good crop of fruit. The majority of tutkey rakers have to raise their birds under unnatural conditions and have to adopt measures of protection and food that will conform as nearly as possible to their condition. Big farms are all right for those who are equipped to handle them properly, but they are not desirable for people who have not capital enough to hire plenty of help and organise in a businesslike way to secure good results. On no account allow free water to the ducks you intend to place upon the market. Many people regard water as essential to the growth of the young duck; this is not so! Too much water will result in the waste of a large proportion of the food given. Mr. Fred Howell of Manhattan, a former employee of this office, spent a few days to the city this week with friends.

If lameness be present other structures are certain to be affected, and some pain and heat will be noticed, together with a stiffness of the joint. Treatment consists of applications of cold water to the affected parts and a lotion made of two tablespoonfuls acetate of lead in a quart of water. A bilater made of one teaspoonful blintide of mercury and four tablespoonfuls lard, rubbed in a little with the fingers, and repeated ```markdown ``` Bog Spavin. In ten days or two weeks and continued for some months, will correct the trouble. Wash the parts having received the blister twenty four hours after application. It is also advisable to tie the horse's head while the blister is on, so that he cannot bite the part. FLESH FLIES BOTHER SHEEP Flock Should Be Watched Closely, Especially In Warm, Damp Weather, to Keep Pests Away. When the sheep's wool becomes filthy and the skin irritated an ideal condition is made for the work of the maggot fly. And when the maggots get a start they create a more and more friendly harbor for their kind as they work and increase in numbers under the wool, says the Sheep Breeder. A sheep infected with maggots is a most pitiful sight, helpless against the parasites eating out its flesh until sheep dies, its life gnawed out in a most cruel manner. For the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, sheep should be saved from such suffering. These files can do no damage if not given a suitable place to lay their eggs. Sheep should be watched carefully, especially in warm, damp weather, and dirty ting locks or other filth clipped off and a little tar dabbed on if the skin is chafed. These maggots also get in their work under rain's horns. Indeed a ram with heavy horns lying close to his head will hardly pass through a summer without infection unless the files are kept away by putting some tar on the ram's head. An infected sheep can be told by the fact that it refuses to eat, stands with its head down and most often bivitself and stamps its feet or jerks its head exactly as irritation by morggles would lead one to expect. The remedy is simple. Cut away the wool cloze. Clean out all maggots, using turpentine to wash them out. Smear the place thoroughly with tar. Then keep watch of the sheep to see that the files do not again start in the same place. Thoroughness in cleaning out the parasites is essential, for one last in will start the damage all over. The Idea Lcrar Static A well known rocker says The ideal stable is to have the horse facing north to obtain an even temperature it should not be too large so that you keep the air in the best under control, and not have a stable temperature either materially raised or lowered when half a doren animals are either taken out or brought in. The ventilation should be perfect and as strong as possible up to the iniquitous draught point. Let the ceiling be as high as convenient, and if the wise builder has left an inch or so open around the upper edge, where the stablemen cannot stop it up all the better. Apples for Colts. Apples given in small quantities make an excellent feed for colts. There is no better way of getting on good terms with the youngsters than by quartering sweet apples and feeding to them from the hand.
