DETECTIVE
At WORK
On BIG
CASE
Talks for Two Hours With Pris-
oner in CeII-WiII Weigh
Narrative Carefully.

William J. Burns, with Leo
NJ. Franks own story of the
Phagan murder mystery and the
dramatic incidents that have
followed, told to him in a two
hours conversation in the pris-
oner's cell, left for Mississippi
late Monday afternoon to care
fully study the tale and decide
whether he will undertake the
investigation.
Burns arrived somewhat unexpect-
edly Monday and went to Franks cell
in the Tower. In the early part of
the afternoon he was closeted with
the accused man for more than two
hours. He questioned him closely and
weighed carefully the condemned
mans recital of the events as he
knows them on that tragic April 26
when the little factory girl met her
terrible death
Weighing Franks Story.
1t was plain that he was carefully
weighing Franks version of affairs
and studying with him analytical
mind teh prisoners claims that it
would have been Utterly impossible for
him to have committed the crime.
Neither Burns nor Frank would tell
in detail of the conversation, and
Dan Lehon, Burns agent in New Or
leans who came with his chief, was
equally reticent.
81 am very glad that Mr.. Burns is
looking into this case said Frank.
81 don't know whether he will decide
to take up an actual investigation
and | can not say any more at this
time
Burns will return Wednesday.
Burns, of course, would say moth
ing as to what he thouht of the mer-
its Of the case when he left Frank,
but appeared to be greatly impressed
with the accused mans story,
Everything was in readiness Mon
day to reopen the battle for the life
and liberty Of Frsnl, and his law
yers were busily engaged in
their work Of preparing an sxtraor-
\ 60 trfa
as their client should be resentenced.
Monday morning the expected re-
mittiur from the Supreme Court, re-
fuslng the rehearing. had not been
transmitted to the clerk Of the Su-
perior Court.
1t was looked for on that day,
however, and as soon as 1t is re-
ceived and duly filed, Solicitor Dorsey
will be in a position to bring the
prisoner before Judge Ben Hill for re-
sentencing
Not 10 Rush Resentenee.
It is not believed the Solicitor will
be in any great hurry to do this,
however. His attitude has not been
one of eagerness. on the other hand,
he has shown a disposition to give
the defense all the time it wanted for
the preparation Of its next move. So
ii is believed Mr. Dorsey will not de-
mand the repronouncement Of the
sentence before the middle Of this
week .-

through the posts and clinch. The top
Stats are nailed to the upper Stats on
ends. You now have a complete hog
crate, and one without a bottom.
Now for the loading. Take your
wagon as near the place as possible
where the hog is to be loaded. Lay
boards about ten feet long from the
rear end of the wagon to the ground,
with a few cleats nailed on under side
to prevent boards from springing
apart.
Stand the crate on end nearby.
Shell little corn close to crate, and
when the opportunity presents itself,
drop the crate on over the hog. You
are now ready to load Mr.. Hog, which
is done as shown In the accompany
ing cut.
Simply walk up the boards back
wards, pulling the crate in front,
which compels the hog to walk right
into the wagon bed. Unloading is
done in the same manner, except
that the hog walks out backwards.
1t is a good idea to drive a stake
at each side of boards 90 prevent
hog from overturning the crate. This
is not necessary If there are two men
to do the loading, for in such case
one can stand at each side az the
crate.
Select the kind of hog you want and
then grow the best. If you go in for
bacon hogs, don't make the mistake
of buying the lard types of sows.
It's a mistake to have pigs come in
the middle of winter.
Some farmers are liberal with their
feed, but stingy with their shelter.
They will shovel out plenty of corn
then see their pigs pile up in a bunch
in a fence corner and shiver for hours
in the cold wind thereby losing all
value of the corn.
Do not neglect to keep plenty Of
coal or wood ashes where the pigs
can get at them all the time.
II you find runt in the litter don't
waste too much time trying to build
him up, but look after the good ones.
The young folks ought to know
why trees and plants grow as they do,
and how to help them grow. They
should be taught the names of the
trees, grasses and grains of the coun-
try. And would 1t be altogether i'm
practical to teach them something
about actual farm business? The
bookkeeping might relate to farm op-
erations, instead of things away in
city and town. 1t would be a good
thing to put into the arithematic a
good many problems bearing on farm
life.

DAMAGE BY POCKET GoPHERS
Little Animals Are Very Destructive
to Orchard and Nursery Stock and
to Garden Truck.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of AgriCulture)
According to the biological survey
of the department of agriculture, the
pocket gophers are very destructive
to orchard and nursery stock, and 20
garden produce. Apricot trees six
inches in diameter have been de-
stroyed by the gopher In one orchard
in California alone an assistant of the
survey counted seven trees that had
been killed by gophers. The ranch
man did not seem to know what was
the trouble, but thought it was due to
some blight. A gopher was seen bor-
ing under one Of the trees and later
on was caught in a trap. One Of the
greatest enemies Of the gopher is the
barn owl One-half bushel of the re-
mains Of gophers was found near the
nest Of an owl Of this species, and yet
almost every ranchman would shoot
an owl at sight. The survey is trying
to educate them to the value Of owls.

to the fact that they keep well under

Poultry Experiments.

As a result Of feeding experiments
conducted at the Missouri station it
was concluded that whole grain does
not fatten chickens, that it is cheap
er to feed the grain finely ground; and
that the best grains can be had by
feeding birds finely ground feeds when
confined in crates. The best returns
resulted from ration consisting of
"a parts white bolted corn meal, G
parts low grade flour and part each
OF oatmeal, pea meal, buckwheat mid
dlings, and wheat middlings. The
flesh OF the birds fed on this ration
was creamy white in color, the fat
was distributed over the body, and the
entrails were encased with fat.

Tester Was Lacking.

One dairyman produced $1,000 worth
of milk from 20 COWS, or 500 per
COW; neighbor bestowed twice as
much labor on 40 cows and sold only
1900 worth of milk, or $45 per COW,
barely paying expenses, while the first
man made profit of over 1000.
Yet the second man said he had no
time to spend few minutes each day
weighing and testing the milk from
each COW.
Instead. he spent four long weary
years in raising and harvesting crops
on a 160-acre farm and feeding and
milking 40 cows to make as much
profit as his neighbor did in one year

half the labor.
