Caution /!

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment OF
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity all
these years. you will be thankful we cali
ed your attention to Boschees German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis Croup-and especially for Con-
sumption, where there is difficult expec-
toration and coughing during the nights
and mornings, there is nothing like Ger
man Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the

Alfalfa Without Irrigation.

Some valuable hints to farmers are
contained in an article contributed to the
Bozman (Mont) Chronicle by Professor
Il. 5. Shaw, of the United States expert
ment station, who says alfalfa can be
grown successfully upon unirrigated
lands. The best results, of course. are
obtained where plentiful supply of wa
tire can be had, but a profitable crop can
also be secured under less favorable con-
ditions. Professor Shaw makes these sug-
gestions:
Recent investigations tend to prove that
there are large areas in this State upon
which one remunerative crop of alfalfa
can be raised each season without irri-
cation. These lands comprise foothills,
bordering on the mountain ranges, where
there is a deep soil receiving more mois-
ture than the open plain, through sub
irrigation from seepage, and greater
precipitation.
The lands must be deep and porous.
The heavier loans which retain the most
moisture can not be supplied by irriga-
ton. Lighter loans may also be used,
unless underlaid by a stratum of gravel
coming too near the surface Alfalfa can
not be grown on wet lands or on those
overlaying an impenetrable hard face.
Foothill lands lying close to the noun
tains will be more sure to produce results
The ground should be plowed deep and
prepared the preceding fall. Spring-plow-
ed land will not retain its moisture. In
the early spring cultivation sufficient to
provide a good seed bed is necessary
The seed should be sown broadcast and
as early as the season will permit, and
not thicker than Is pounds per acre. On
the heavy lands narrowing will provide
sufficient covering for the seeds, but on
the lighter lands 1t should be put in deep
er by means of the seeded. Under these
conditions a nurse crop should be clipped
off with the mower when six to nine in
ches high the first season, and the cut
ting left for a mulch. Though the young
plants may dry up the first season during
the extremely hot weather and appear to
be dead. they will be almost certain to
start again when the fall rains come,
providing the plants have made vigor-
Gus start.

WRITTEN FOR HI UNDAY REPUBLIC.
Conspicuous in the long list of baseball
managers-a list that is long because of
many failures each year-is the name of
Pat Donovan. the player-manager OF the
St. Louis Cardinals. To those who saw the
material with which Donovan entered the
race this year his success in developing
team work and in his selection of players
IS remarkable. Donovan has accomplished
as much as any of the older heads could
nave done. and he has done better than
some of them.
just now the Cardinals are battling for
the leadership OF the second division, and
they have some formidable opponents in
the rejuvenated Cincinnati Reds. Could
Donovan have put his present team in the
field at the beginning OF the season the
chances are that he would have peen up
with Chicago and Brooklyn. Nhen the
Cardinals were diSbanded At the close OIL
last season. Donovan knew that he had u
task on his hands in which his failure
would Eiean the forfeiture of much OF ms
popularity in ST. Louis. Individual stars
are generally we'll applauded. but a man at
the head of a tail end team is in an un-
enviable position. Though it was not until
October that official announcement was
made OF the detection of seven of his men,
Donovan knew long before that time that
# was up 10 him TO rebuild the team.
In the work Of reorganization, he was
much hampered by conditions existing in the
two leagues. When the National Leagu
was threatened with dissolution many play
ers. in order to protect themselves. signed
may have foreseen trouble, for he didn't
walt until spring 10 rebuild his fences. He
did all that could have been done TO retain
his old players. When American League
agents began to trail the Cardinals he
warned his employers and advised that an
understanding be reached at once. That
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-08-17

has upheld. Fortunately, Donovan was well
equipped with catchers. and with Yerkes;
OnNeill. Murphy and Wicker. he possessed
pitchers of big league experience.
When Jack O'Neill was signed as extra
catcher, Donovan picked up a jewel whose
worth he did not discover until the young
man had been put TO the test. In his early
games, O'Neill gave the impression that he
was too light ard not shifty enough for a
major league catcher. He was released, but
fortunately for the St. Louis club the in
juries of Ryan and Nichols saved the club
from the costly mistake of letting jack
O'Neill get away. To-day he is one of the
best-liked players in ST. Louis. has shown
that he possesses ability. and with his
brother is a good drawing card in any town.
With this collection of young players Don
ovan started the season with scarcely any
practice on account of the raw spring
weather. The thaw-out did not come, until
the season was we'll under way. With the
Pittsburg club here for the opening the Car
dinals naturally got off.tO q bad start. But
could those first three or four weeks have
been cut out of the championship records,
then the Cardinals would be first division
contenders to-day.
The young players have proved the back
bone of the club. Ryan has not been in
good shape physically this season. and that

IN with his rusn hsM him ensbfsh him To

signed deserted on this account-Richard-
ron. Popp. Alemany and Durham. Popp
afterward returned. but he was never
missed. In the winter a ball player cannot
live on hope ard promises. and when these
players had the advance money OF the 9TH

those who are now the bone and sinew of
the st. Louis Browns were not signed to
National League contracts last summer is
not his fault.
Deprived of three seasoned pitchers and
practically his entire infield and outteld. he
was confronted with the problem of filling
their places with young players. for, be-
tween the encroachments of the American
Ieague and the tight grasp of the NatioIl-
al League on its loyal players. he had to go
Into the ranks of the minors and pick men
who We're little hear1 of outside their own

Scarcely had the season ended before
Donovan went into the camp OF the enemy
and picked out two players. johnny Far
rell was rated the most promising second
baseman in the American League last year.
While under the eye of Jimmy Manning,
FarreH received an offer from Donovan,
and before the astute James had a chance

on the strength of his performance with
the tWo-time American League champions,
Donovan picked up Fred Hartman. When.
n short while later. the announcement was
made that Roy Brashear had been CAPTURED
for utility roles; few realized how valuable
The two failures of the Cardinal team this
year were both engaged largely on the
strength OF recommendations from ~iniuea-
tial friends. Willie Popp was signed after
his ST. Louis friends had made a strong bi1
for him. and Hazlaton's record in the E,,st
together with his reputstion among the
minor leaguers. secured that player a lob.
However. Hazleton was signed onis after IL
became certain that Richardson would not

There is no manager in the land who is
more deserving of success than Pat DOno-
van. He is a type of the Twentieth Cen
fury player-a gentleman always, a wise
general. a star player and true to his
friends. DOnOvan's popularity drew the
crowd TO League Park to see the youngsters
play. and soon his men shared It with him.
Despite their reverses and strokes OF i'll

CHARGE to win a pennant and should be we'll
supported. No matter what part they have
played in the contract question. they are
unquestionably a great team and should be
supported. AS long as Donovan remains at
the head of the Cardinals, there is no
doubt that they will be well taken care of
by the public. even though no pennant is III

HISTORIC WHITE HOUSE.

For more than a quarter of a cen
fury the white house has been made
quate for the accommodation of the
president as a residence and place for
the transaction of public business. For
one or the other it was sufficient, but
not for both.
Nevertheless congress refused term
after term to make appropriations for
the enlargement of the mansion or for
the erection of an additional building
that would give the accommodations
demanded. 1t required the coming in
of a president with a large family to
force congress to take action. A pres
ident with a growing family had never
been thought of before. The greatee-
proportion of our presidents have
come to the Office in advanced years
when their children, if they had any,
were grown, and none of them had the
felicity of a large family.
The present plan of erecting a build
ing for the executive Offices and main
tanning the white house as a presi-
Dental sIuence and for all social
functions is a good one and will be
generally approved by the people.
1t is a historic mansion associated
with u national beginnings and
growth.
President Washington laid the cor
ner stone, though he did not live TO see
it's completion. All OF our presidents
save Washington lived in it, and made
history there.
