Christian church, pitched for the
Live Coles and was one Of the stars

County Attorney Rugh today eenI
this letter TO the Topeka Capital IN
reply to some Statements published
in that paper:
Editor Capital: notice IN. your
paper OF the 2srd an article re-
Igerding heFeqpisltlon asiled Tor and
obtained for the return OF John A.
FiacJL to Kansas. The writer OF
this article says that the purpose
, OF the requIsition Is not known and
that Flack had agreed to return
without reQuisitlon.
Permit me to say that after the
sheriff OF Dickinson county. Mr.. J.
r. Young. had received a telegram
from a detective In New York that
they had Flack in custody he and
liz Immediately commenced making
arrangements to ask for requisition
papers because we did not deem 1t
safe to go to the expense of send
ing the sheriff almost two thousand
miles without any authority to bring
back the man he went after. II
he had gone without these papers
Mr.. Flack could have walked off
the train at any place where IT
stopped and the sheriff would have
been powerless to detain him.
The message from the office Of the
police commissioner Of New York
informed the sheriff that they had
Flack detained and that he should
come at once with the necessary pa
pers. The necessary papers in such
cases, everyone knows, are requisi-
ton papers.
While was at work on these pa
pers Mr.. Dolley, the bank commits
sioner, called me up on the tele-
phone and told me Mr.. Searles was
then in New York and asked me to
make application for requisltion pa
pers for Flack. About ten minutes
later Mr.. Dawson, attorney general,
called me up and told me that Mr..
Dolley had just started Mr.. Searles
for New York that day and advised
me to make application for reQui-
sition papers for Flack.
Just why Mr.. Searles was sent to
New York from Mr.. Dolley's office
/ do not know. He would have no
more authority to bring John A,
Flack back to Kansas than some
lady from Denver who happened to
be visiting in New York. Requisition
papers we're asked for and granted
in this case according to law and in
accordance with the custom which
has existed for many years. Your
paper says that the governor was
not in favor of granting requisition
papers in this case. Why? The
complaint had been filed, the war
rant issued, Flack had wrecked the
bank ana was a fugitive from. jus
tice. Then why did the governor
not want him brought back to Kansas
and punished according to law

Spinach is easy to grow.
Keep the brooders clean.
Growing chicks require meat.
Poultry require much attention.
Corn is the best finishing food for
hogs.
The freshest eggs always hatch the
best. ss
Plan for a big lot Of roots for the
sheep this year.
Easier to hatch fine lot Of chicks
than It is to raise them.
Keep a good brood SOW as long as
she will produce satisfactory litters.
Be sure that the heifer is well de-
veloped before allowing her to be
bred.
It is better to give COW six to eight
weeks rest between periods Of lacta-
ton.
The disadvantage about June chicks
Is that they will not mature for laying
In the fall.
Young chicks sometimes occupy
nests that have been SO long used that
they are alive with vermin.
Neglect to keep ones obligations to
furnish eggs has been the ruination OF
. great many poultry farmers.
Some poultrymen feed cut bone the
year around, and records show an in
crease in their laying capacity.
A two-weeks' diet Of cornmeal and
skimmilk will mean an extra profit on
any culled out birds to be marketed.
The best calves should be selected
from each years crop. This is the
only way to keep the herd in good
shape.
Never misrepresent the age Of an
egg. You can't afford to sell your
soul for the sake of selling q few
eggs.
The sleeps meridian OF life is six
years. After that the downhilI side
comes at a pretty good jog. 1t pays to
remember this.
If the young chicks have gapes, you
may be sure that the soil is contami-
mated by cape worms. somewhere near
the poultry yard.
According to Prof. K. G. Davis of
the new Jersey agricultural expert
ment station. alfalfa is as easily
grown as any hay crop.
Be sure there are no narrow doors
for the ewes to crowd through. One
jam may cause the loss of a lamb,
Or both eve and lamb.
1t Is much easier to start with stock
that is a proven success than 1t is to
breed up. The latter Is costly as
we'll as tiresome experiment.
According to those who have eggs
for Matching there will be many new
fanciers. These breeders are report
ing large numbers Of small sales.
A small investment will fix up al
nost any stable. With a few more
windows and some ventilating fiues
the result will be thoroughly valuable.
The best weaver you can put on the
calf is never to allow It to suck the
cow after the first few days, the first
milk (colostrum) being necessary for
the calf.
It IL commonly supposed that the
feeding Of hogs in summer is cheap
er than in winter, because IN winter
much Of the food Is used to supply
animal heat.
Many farmers who make poultry
culture a side issue are apt to get It
too much on the side. Make It "a
branch Of the farm work, and give II
good business attention. 55i
