Canton, o., Jan. l6.-'T accepted
the STATE portfolio" said s,nutor John
sherman at the Fort " ayne depot a few
/ minutes before the senator left for Wash
! ingt.n yesterday afternoon. The sena-
! tor had but few moments before left
the presence of President-elect Nc
! kinley. Concerning other matters con-
nected with the incoming administration
the senator was very reticent. Asked
as to whether Mr. Hanna would be ap-
pointed senator, the senator replied that
he did not know, that that was the affair
entirely of Mr. Hanna and Mr.. McKin-
ley, and that he had no desire to inter-
fere with anybody's private matters.
Mr. Sherman was asked if any other
cabinet officials had been settled upon
by Major Mckinley, and replied that ne
did not know of any others. Senator
Sherman was in the city little more
than three hours. and all the while was
at the Mckinley home, where he took
lunch, together with other prominent
callers. The interview confirming his
offer and acceptance of the premiership
was given the press as he was boarding
an eastbound train on the Pennsylvania
railroad for Washington.
Senator Burrows, who caNe with Mr..
Sherman, left with him. At the station
the Michigan statesman said: "You
can say that had a very pleasant talk
with Major Mckinley"
Has General Alger been decided upon !
for the war portfolio? ?" wasAsked.
Il cannot say"
You are here in the interest Of Cen
eral Alger, are you not. senator?"
Yes, Major Mckinley and myself,l
talked over the situation, but as to the /
result 1 am not in a position to say. !
Major Mckinley has high regard for
General Alger, and will give careful con-
sideration to anything said in his favor"
Ex-Governor John d. Long of Massa-
chusetts, whose name has been con-
nected with the Mckinley cabinet as the
New England representative, held con-
terence with the incoming president
yesterday afternoon. He left for Cleve-
land on the 4;30 train.

ONIONS FROM & &
A Profitable Crop when Properly
Planted and Cared For.

- SEOP h&A
and Cared For.
The largest and best onions are
grown from seed. While they can hard
ly be considered a certain crop, yet
when anything like a fair crop is Sc
cured they are a profitable crop to you.
On of the work and cost of
keeping the crop clean it is quite an
item to select a piece of clean land and
for the same reason only well fotted and
thoroughly fined should be
used. To get the best results the land
must be rich. 1t is almost a waste OF
seed to try TO grow onions in anything
but a rich soil.
Wood ashes, poultry manure, guano
OF thoroughly rotted stable manure can
be used as fertilizers, taking pains to
work il thoroughly IN with the soil.
There is little danger0 getting the soil
too rich.
1t is important that the seed be
sown early. Securing the seed n
manuring of the and should be done in
good season, so that at the first favor
able opportunity in the spring the seed
can be sown. Have the soil as fine as
possible when the seed is sown in order
to secure a good termination of the
seed and a vigorous start OF the plants
tc grow. Be sure that the seed Is OF
good quality. II the seeding is to be
done by hand, work out the rows about
eight inches apart and make the drills
about one inch deep. Sow the seeds as
- IL -. 1ore1hla -x-n or three SAQ1S m
the inch. 1t is quite an item to get the
seed distributed evenly in the drills.
The advantage in using the drill is that
the seed can be sown and covered more
evenly with less work.
Some growers, in order to get the
plants started earlier and to some extent
at least lessen the work of keeping the
+ clean at the start, SOW the seed
thickly in a bed Dr. frame, and, after
they are well up, transplant them into
rows where they are TO grow.
As when the seed is sown it is i'm
portant to have the soil in a good filth.
Work out the rows and then lay the
plants not over two inches apart. 1t is
better to use plenty of plants and thin

rows.
If the land is not so rich as If should
be it will be a good plan TO scatter a
good dressing of wood ashesor CONNER
cial fertilizer over the surface. The
onion feeds very near the surface, and
the necessary cultivation viii work the
fertilizer sufficiently into the soil.
A fine, sharp-toothed steel rake is n
of the best implements with which to
begin the cultivation. Properly used it
viii thoroughly fine the surface and de-
stroy the weeds. 1t is important to be-
gin the cultivation as soon as possible,
for IN this way the weeds win be easier
kept down. 1t will be an exceptional
case, however, when hand wedding viii
not be necessary. But a careful use of
the rake and cultivator in good season
will greatly lessen the work of hand
wedding. With this, as with man
other crops, it is best to men in a
small way, and increase the acreage
after experience has been ~acquired.-St.

I'm Some Localities They Carry Their
MOnkey Too Far.
The American people are immensely
fond of a good joke, and the practical
joker pieaSes them best of all.
Among our most prominent jokers
are the street commissioners of the
many cities scattered throughout the
land. They are awfully clever, don't
You know. The taxpayers give them
large salaries to look after the COM
fort and convenience of the people who
use the thoroughfares for the purpose
of getting about from one point to an
other. The people," in this case, in
clude wheelmen along with others.
But do the commissioners always look
after the condition of the streets TO the
best of their ability and to the greatest
degree of comfort of all concerned?
Well, hardly. They are really not to
be taken seriously. The mere fact that
they are elected or appointed to do
certain things is nc reason why they
should do it, so they think
The fact of the matter is. a public Of
fee is a public joke. They Jolly" the
people, while the appropriation for
street cleaning and repairing goes!
Tell US, We winged winds, where, oh,
where, does much of it go?
And the country road supervisor, or
committeeman, is a smaller but more
umerou joker. No one really expects
him to look after the roads, and SO he
never surprises or disappoints them.
But there is such a thing as carrying
a joke too far. The dirty street, bad
road joke, has about reached the limit.
People are turning from jest to earnest.
They are tired of ~fooling."
Every man who rides a bicycle is seri-
Gus when he says he wishes clean,
smooth streets and good, hard roads.
Every thoughtful, humane owner and
driver of horses insists on the same
thing. Every farmer whodoes not care
to sink the profits OF his fields in the
muddy roads to market wants better
highways. Every up-to-date thinking
person is in favor of them.
