CHICKENS IN KANSAS.


The editor of the Indiana FGmer
has been roaming around somewhat in
Kansas lately, and while doing so has
apparently been struck with an idea
that has many times occurred to the
writer i'm regard 10 the chicken bnsi-
ness. lie writes to his paper the fol-
lowing, which is well worth consider
ing by good many people who are,
perhaps, not making as much of a iiv-
ing as they ought to:
"Often and again, as we looked out
upon the dry, sunny slopes of Kansas,
on our recent trip, We remarked !:
what country for raising chickens
and turkeys!' And when we learned
Of the large and increasing demand
for poultry and eggs in the mining re-
gions, and the high prices that are
paid. we resolved to commend the
matter to those of our lady readers
who are thrown on their own re-
sources, and are asking what they can
do 10 make living. There is no kind
of business, in our estimation, in which
an enterprising lady with small capital
can succeed more certainly and rapid
~ in accommodating an independent
support than upon chicken-raising in
southern Kansas. Our reasons are
First, healthfulncss there need be no
diseases among fowls raised on the
dry, sloping lands Of this section The
pips, roup, cholera and other chicken
ailments would be practically I'M
known, with anything like proper care
and attention. Second, feed; the
milleis, sorghum, Doura, wheat, etc.,
can be grown there even in the drycst
Seasons. and with the insects, and
grasshoppers, if they should appear,
would make abundance of the best OF
feed nj mere nominal cost. the last
named items especially. Third, mar
kets: eggs rule higher near railroad
stations there than with Us, and chick
ems sell from % cents 10 81 each al the
mines. When the business of poultry
raising is carried on Systematically,
and poultry shipping is done in a
wholesale way, the freight will he 50
reduced that the raiser will get al least
two-ihirds of The price paid at the
mines for his produce.
''In starting in the business il will
not be necessary to buy the land. This
can be rented for a trifle. and no fenc.
ing will be required. The principal
expense will be for dwelling house and
sheds for protection at night. A
northeast slope should be selected, so
rs to avoid the force of the southwest
winds, which are very strong at times,
and might blow the chicks so far they
could not get back 10 the roosting
place by night. We heard ii said that
the wind blows the feathers of the
chickens sometimes; but that is only
one of the many jokes that are in
vogue about the Kansas zephyrs. -

Petition For Habens corpus.

Upon the application of Andrew Davis,
confined in jail, Justice Macarthur to-day
issued a writ of habeas corpus returnable
at o'clock this afternoon. The petition
sets forth that on tho 9Th instant, while in
bed, at his mothers house, policeman
came and placed him under arrest. He
asked the cause and the officer informed
him that he did not know. He was taken
to the X street police station and detained
until 10 o'clock the next morning and then
removed to another station house, where
he was locked in cell and kept until May
8, and then brought before United States
Commissioner Samuel c. Mills, and
charged upon the oath of post
Office inspector with violating Sec
ton 5478 in relation to POSTAL Crimes"
and committed to jail. The petitioner has
been informed and believes that Mr.. Mills
had no authority to issue the warrant and
commitment. On the 10th the petitioner
was taken from the jail and again brought
before Mr.. Mills, and the latter proceeded
to examine witnesses and held that the
Government had made such case as in his
opinion authorized him to hold the petit
toner to answer the accusation in o for
eign jurisdiction. The petitioner believes
that he is illegally held in custody in order
that he may be removed illegally from the
District of Columbia beyond the jurisdic-
tion of its courts to foreign jurisdiction,
there to be held and tried for crime OF
which he is not guilty.
The charge against the petitioner is that

earnest temperance association was held on
last evening at Timms' Hall, corner of
Seventh and ID streets northwest. The
affectionate regard in which the order is

evidenced by the very large attendance at
its meetings as well as by the great num-
bers of our prominent ladies and gentlemen

ing was exceedingly important and inter
initiated and the officers for the
