title of being the youngest lawyer IN the
United States, and it is safe to bet that
he will never go back on his record.
A skeleton was found thirteen miles
north of Syracuse, Finney county, which
was thought to be that of Joeeph Foy,
who disappeared more than q year ago
from Garden city. On April 10, 1884,
Young Foy left his home which is two
miles north of Garden City, on horse
back to hunt the COWS. He left about
noon and was never heard from again.
The horse was found on the 10th about
seven miles northeast of Syracuse
nine miles from where the skeleton was
found. To have got there the boy must
necessarily have crossed several we'll.
beaten trails. He was II years old, was
used to prairie life, and it is thought al
together impossible that he would have
passed all those trails and wandered 80
far away. An inquest was held over
his remains and the verdict was that he
came to death bv means unknown.

other day showed us very fine luscious
almond, which he said he found on the
ground in his garden. Itwas very fine
specimen of that fruit and gave evidence
of the soil and climate of this valley be-
ing we'll adapted to the culture of that
fruit. Mr.. Heller gave the reporter a
lengthy lecture on the subject of fruit
culture. He referred to the immense
quantity of pears, peaches, plums, cher
ries and other fruits that are yearly i'm
ported from California and other places
to this city and maintained that nearly
everything in that line we receive from
abroad could be raised at home and the
money kept here. Mr.. Heller's idea is
to cut the land in all this valley up into
fine fruit farms, and to supply not only
our own local trade but all the towns
tributary to our city. He thinks it would
be by far the most profitable farming.

state veterinarian recommends the
following as preventive of hog cholera:
In no disease to which the lower ami
mails are subject can preventive measures
be adopted with better results than
those which may be secured in con-
nection with the swine plague. With
no part of the state, 80 far as is known,
permanently infected with the parasite
of this disease, practically we have only
to properly control the introduction Of
animals from other states and we will
soon be rid of hog cholera. The laws of
the state do not permit of the adoption
of quarantine regulations against the in
PRODUCTION Of animals which may be af-
fected, but simply provide that the state
veterinarian may prescribe such rules
and regulations as shall prevent the
spread of the disease when it has made
its appearance. This authority might,
of course, be used to proven
tn disease from becoming widespread
but it is powerless to prevent losses more
or less severe. All hogs and pigs brought
into the state, except those brought by
express, should be required to undergo a
quarantine of fifteen days. time in winter
and of seven days in summer, at hepoint
of introduction. All hogs shipped from
quarantine to final destination, or from
point to point within the state, should be
carried only in such cars as have been
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. No
hog or pig brought from any place, by
express or otherwise, should be placed in
contact with others until they have
passed home quarantine of at least ten
days time. If these measures could be
enforced, or voluntarily adopted by all.
Kansas would be free from hog cholera
in 8 wear.
