East Chicago, Dec 30.-Frank Kas-

company who disappeared from East
Chlcago several months ago after hav-
ing lost the larger part Of $4,000 OF
the brewing companys funds in ganlb-
lfnS and who was captured in To-
ronto, Canada, several weeks O. was
brought back to East Chicago last
night by Chief of Police Higgins
hasten was released on $4,000 bonds
and will have to stand trial for en-
bezzlement at the next term of court
Although Chief Higgins did an in his
power to locate the missing man bv
sending out circulars and postal cards
his efforts proved unavailing. and the
capture was made on information fur
nished by detectives employed by the
American Surety company, which was
on Kasten's bond.
The detectives located Hasten by fol-
lowing his wife Mrs. hasten alwavs
maintained that she did not believe her
husband could be guilty of stealing
the funds of the brewing company and
she said she did not know where he
had gone.
Trail Wife TO Canada.
However. she was watched by detec
tives and soon they discovered that
she was planning a trip to Toronto
They decided to follow her, in the be-
lief that she was on her way to meet
her husband
They were right in their surmise and
upon their arrival in Toronto they
found Hasten working as a butcher.
He did NOT hava ap1y MONA, - -
fessed to the officers that he was
practically without money when he left
East Chicago.
hasten refused to be extradited and
after he had been arrested by Detec-
tives Robert Burns and Walter Stew
art, they were given seven days in
which to secure the proper papers.
1t is necessary in such cases for the
prosecutor of the county to notify the
governor of the state, who in turn
will vouch for the fact that the prose-
cutor, the clerk of the court and the
Judge are duly elected officers, and
the president of the United States will
then order the extradition.
There was some mistake in-maling
out the papers and it was necessary to
secure an extension of another seven
days in order TO make sure the return
Of the prisoner.
The papers finally came and when
hasten saw that the Jig was up he
agreed to go with Chief Higgins with
out further delay.

Old Man Tells Pitiful Tale

QUITS HOME WITHOUT GOODBY
After Years Absence, Parent at Point

Lost Boy,
Especial to Lake County Timesl

Gary, Dec. 3O-'If you find nv bov
tell him to tome. Mother is dying of
"a broken heart and unless he comes
soon she'll pass away with the old
year"
A gray headed old man who said he
was George Holder of Attica. Ind.
leaned against the sergeant's desk in
the little police station here Saturday
afternoon and told his pitifuI story to
the officers.
Now the police are trying to find
howard Holder. the 27-year-old son
and only child of the Holders. who left
his home year ago without provoca-
ton and without word of farewell
Never a word did he write to his
aged father and mother during all this
time leaving them in anxiety as to his
whereabouts. They had almost come to
count him among the dead when they
received word from friends in Chicago
that Howard had been there on Octo-
Der !, and that then he had said he
would go to Gary.

Thinks Gary Plausible.

Inc rather was almost positive that
his son had gone to Gary as it would
afford him good opportunity as an cleo
trician and cement worker
In fond words the parent gave the
description of his son to She police and
he described him as handsome. nearly
six feet two inches tall. big brown eyes
and wavy dark brown hair, smooth
shaven and quiet in manner and with
out bad habits.
The father was at g loss to explain
why the boy should have left his home
in the way he did as the family rela-
tions were of the best. and there was
nothing else that appeared to cause his
sudden change of mind
After his disappearance. as the time
went on, his mother began to worry
and pine for the absent one until fin

cording to Holder she is broken down

YELLOWS
RAVAGE TREES
Board Of Agriculture Issues
Warning Circular to
fruit Growers

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. Sept s-The state
Board of Agriculture VIII tomorrow
send out the following note Of warning
TO every fruit-grower in Delaware:
AN examination of the orchards in
Delaware shows that peach yellows is
destroying many trees. 1t was de-
structive in 1906. but did not advance
very much to the southwark. This
year IL is probably no worse than last,
but its ravages have not abated, and it
has extended in not very widely scat
tered orchards. several miles to the
southwark. But the condition is by
no means hopeless for the great ma
iority of the farmers believe that by
prompt action the trouble may be kept
under control Experience proves,
however. that IL trees are allowed to
stand for any length of time after the
first signs of the trouble appear the
orchard viii be wiped out rapidly. If
on the other hand a close watch is
kept and every tree is destroyed as
soon as the disease IS detected, the
loss Will be comparatively small. II
Michigan this loss can be kept down
to about one tree In a hundred each
year by vigilance and prompt destruc-
tion of diseased trees. Whereas If the
work is not done promptly, but trees
showing premature fruit are allowed
10 stand until the fruit is ripe, the loss
may be as much as % per cent a year.
No doubt this same condition holds
good in Delaware.
Delaware farmers who have faith
in the peach business and want to
save their orchards now call upon
everybody to adopt the plan of i'm
mediate destruction OF all trees hav-
ing yellows If one has an orchard
so old and so badly diseased that he
does not care to try to save it, ne
should at least be willing TO lop off
the tops of the trees and burn them
and then take out the stumps as early
as possible. The law requires the
examination Of orchards and the
marking of diseased trees. but it Is
impossible for inspectors to be every
where at once. and every farmer
should be his own Inspector A rigid
inspection, such as would be effective,
would cost the State many thousands
of dollars: and this ought to be en-
tirely unnecessary with intelligent
men like the Delaware fruit growers.
IAN appeal is, therefore, made to
every man who owns peach or plum
trees to make frequent examinations
and to destroy every tree showing
the, least sign OF the weak, siclSly. yell
low, willowy shoots that are so char
acteristic of peach yelows.
1t has been said repeatedly. but it
viii do no harm to emphasize again
the fact, that a tree having yellows
is a worthless treo and is a menace
to all the peach and plum trees in the
neighborhood.

NO INSPECTION
OF DIARIES YET
Owners Slow to Avail Them
selves Of Health Boards
Offer

While the Board Of Health has pre-
scribed some regulations to encourage
the production Of pure milk. not one
owner of a dairy has come forward to
meet the requirements of the board
and get a certificate Of health for his
dairy.
The board adopted a set of regula-
tions, which included veterinary in
spection of all COWS in a dairy and a
sanitary inspection of the stables and
equipments used in the dairying busi-
ness. These were not required to be
met by dairy owners, but the Board
Of Health announced that if any own
er desired an inspection OF a dairy
made under the auspices Of the board
and the requirements were met, the
board would issue a certificate to the
owner attesting that it was a standard
dairy and that the milk was abso-
lutely pure.
1t was thought this plan would en-
courage some owners of dairies to have
the test made so they could offer for
sale milk declared by the Board Of
Health certificate to be absolutely pure
and produced under sanitary conditions.
The owner of one dairy, a woman,
expressed her intention Of having an
inspection made so that her dairy could
be certihcated by the board, but she
has never applied formally for the In
spection.
DIR. Harrison W. Howell, president OF
the board, today said that not one in
spection had been asked for by any
dairy owner.

HOW TO CARE
FOR MILCH COWS

1t Is not necessary to feed grain to
cows in summer ii you have a good grass
and clover pasture and have grown an
the grass, says a successful dairyman.
Turn the cows to pasture after milking
in the morning, and if the pasture is
short stable at 3 p. m. and give each cow
in her stall one armful of fodder and a
second armful at p. IN. After milking
turn the cows to pasture, or in the barn
yard. If kept in the yard, see that they
have plenty Of fresh water 10 drink. My
neighbor fills the yard racks with foxtail
and grasses cut from the grain field. A
little salt is sprlnkled over the grass and
weeds to make it more palatabe BY this
plan his small farm Is enabled to feel his
herd without any outlay for grain until
the regular winter feeding commences.
The fodder and clover should be cut when
free from dew and allowed TO wilt a few
hours before feeding Give each COW a
small feed at first. After the first IS eaten
give more if It is necessary. Look the
cows over carefully 10 see that they are
right. Directly a COW commences to swell
up remove her feed. Place a small round
stick of wood between her jaws. Tie the
stick securely to the horns, turn her out
and walk her up and down the yard She
should not be allowed to drink. Give one
pound of opsom salts, one ounce Of
ground ginger dissolved IN one quart Of
cold water, sweetened with molasses.
Keep the COW moving. AS soon as the
medicine operates, the COW will be out
of danger. She must be carefully fed, as
she is liable to a second attack. The owner
should attend TO the feeding or place a
competent man in charge

BEST WAY TO
FEED THE HOGS

The feed you axe giving your hogs
should prove satisfactory. and the form
IN which you are feeding it Is one that
meets with general APPROVAL thick
slop, as It were, being one of the best
ways In which to feed grain TO hogs
says the Southern Farm Magazine. II
IS an right 10 feed some corn on the
ear. The only suggestion that we could
make that would improve your ration
would be the addition OF small
amount OF blood or meat meal, say
70 10 per cent. This,may be fed with
the slop. We think a sittlei more pro-
tein from this source for a food as
light and nuny as oats VIII enable you
10 make larger gains on your hogs at
lower food cost
In our experiments we have found that
cattle receiving corn and cob meal
both fine and coarse, made as large
percentage gains as any of the lots dur
ing the first 60 days. During the Sec
ond 60 days. or at the end OF 120 days,
they had made about the same percent
age gain as the other groups. but I'm the
last go days they fen off very materi-
ally which indicates that there was
apparently not enough fattening con-
stituonts IN n ration of corn and cob
meal TO be fed for such a long period
as $50 days. In other words. II corn
and cob meal had been fed during the
first part of the fattening period and
cornmeal during the latter part. we
have reason 10 believe that the results
would have been about the same as
were obtained from feeding cornmeal
throughout the entire test. Even this
practice would have enabled us TO save
considerable corn and so reduce the
cost Of making a pound Of gain and
increase 10 some extent the profits de-
rived from this lot Of cattle. All food
stuns were fed according 10 weight.
For instance. the lot getting ear corn
consumed 31f pounds per pound Of
gain: the lot receiving shelled corn.
355 pounds, the lot receiving corn and
cob meal fine. 2.S4 pounds. and the lot
receiving corn and cob meal coarse.
2.73 pounds. The actual corn consumed
by the last two groups per pound OF
gain was 2.55 and 3.36 pounds respect-
ively. We think on a farm, where there
IS some cheap form of power and hogs
are not available to follow the cattle
that It will be profitable 10 grind the
corn. especially where II is worth more
than 80 or 60 cents per bushel, and
that corn and cob meal can be fed for
part Of the fattening period to good ad-
vantage.
