Grain and MIX Production

Of the same class as Is sometimes
claimed. Cottonseed meal, linseed
meal, either new or old process, high
grade gluten meal, may either one be
instituted for another in mixed ra-
ton without showing much difference
in the amount of milk. Whole meal
from corn or wheat or oats, barley or
buckwheat will produce about the
same yield whichever grain is ground.
In buying all the relative feeds the
market cost would be the main thing
to consider were 1t not that some
feeds have peculiar effects on the di-

and that the richness of manure va.

them all because you are greedy for
money and keep inferior stock for

be selected from EARLIEST matches. Be

They should not be overgrown. Me-

bodies and large through the breast,
have strong vital organs and will be
found satisfactory for breeding the

 These men, with the possible exception of Perry Heath, are Republican factors. They control votes and delegations.
 Perry Heath's official participation in the frauds is so palpable that 1t is freely predicted he will have to retire from the secretaryship of the National Committee. He will be sacrificed for the time being. The administrations present plan to deal savageIy with minor characters was emphasized in the removal of J. T. Met calf. Superintendent of the Free Delivery.

 Question for Payne.
 One question asked today is why all the Tulloch charges were not investigated. Tulloch charged that Beavers said, That Senator Platt of New York would appre- ciate the fact If he Cthe Washing post mastery would select the Senator's com pany." This was apparently a scheme to get all the bonding business of the De- partment for Senator Platt. MT. Beavers
  that interesting allegation.
 It has been stated that Mrs. F. R. Winans was laborer on the complement ary roll; that she went to Columbus and had an interview with Senator Hanna and that he ultimately fixed" her in a better job. There has been no report on that.
 There is little doubt that some way will be found to eliminate all those whom 1t is not desired to prosecute because of their former high standing in the party"
 The Federal grand jury probably will bring in five indictments tomorrow. AL though every effort has been made to keep the public in ignorance of the action to be taken, it Is learned on unquestion- able authority that the jury has voted to return indictments against August w. Machen, DilleAB. Groff, Samuel A. Groff, George E. Lorenz and Mrs. Lorenz, the two latter being residents of Toledo. O. The specific charge, It Is understood, will be conspiracy to defraud the government. The fact that new indictments would be returned against Machen and the Groff brothers has been talked of for some time. Was Woman a Go-BetweenP The sensational feature of the proceed ings Is the connection of Mrs. Lorenz' g name with the transactions which led to the arrest of Machen and the Groffs. At the time of the arrests stories were in cir culation that there was a go-between, but the information at hand then was not conclusive enough to establish the iden- tity of this particular party. Whether or not Mrs. Lorenz acted in this capacity is not known. but 1t was suggested that this go-between was a woman,

intendent of the city delivery service of the Postoffice Department, alleging that he has pressed claims before Congress, solicited employees in the service to take stock in mining company and other al- legations, are under investigation.
 Mir. Hedges Is an assistant to Machen. It is charged that Hedges is concerned in mining enterprises, stocks of which he has foisted on clerks in the Department and on postmasters outside. It is charged also that he has used the stock of these mining enterprises to further claims be- fore Congress in which his friends were interested.
 It is asserted he has used the machinery of his office to secure the enactment of claims denounced on the floor of the House as questionable, and that he has used the official stationery of the office in transacting business of his companies in distributing stock and in soliciting pur- chasers.
 Auditor Castle of the Postofice Depart ment. is still another chief who has much to answer for and some difficult explana- tions to make. For instance while George w. Beavers was Assistant Superintendent of the Allowances Division at $500 sal ary he also drew a per diem of & as an examiner of letter carriers overcharges. This was in 1897 and Castle allowed the account.
 No prosecution of Beavers for this of fense is now possible, as it occurred more than three years ago and Is outlawed.
 Beavers drew double pay for about a year, when objections were raised and 1t was stopped, but he was immediately promoted to s3,OOO and later to $4,OO0.
 All contracts for supplies made by Beavers have been held up and many will be annulled. Notice has been served on contractors that the government reserves the right to cancel contracts July l. Chief Waters, who succeeded Beavers, declines to say what contracts are under suspi- cion.

 ican.
 Let the past bury the dead and get the big men of the party who are guilty out of the public eye. This is the admins tration postofice scandal program: It is on the defensive from center to circum- ference and has retreated behind these two propositions: r. s, s.sA #,. z. .-
 First-That the acts Of dishonesty and the palmy days of corruption and extrav- agance belong to the era of President Mckinley.
 Second-It is now necessary to consider the Mckinley period a closed book and deal vigorously with the minor eharac- ters who remain. under the Roosevelt Payne administration, l,.4 ,t ,.g
 Nothing more ridicG16bs aould' be con ceived. Phe apparently inexhaustible av- alanche of corruption dets r0t belong to the Mckinley reign alone it pF1lF started and was fostered there to pay off the political debts of Hanna. It is part of both administrations.
 Roosevelt Also Responsible.
 The acts and important actors of the Mckinley period came over into the Payne administration. President Roose- welt knew of the fraudso existing when he took the oatheSof 'ohicei aknsw' McFSin- ley was but Hanna'sJ etQal{ aknew that Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith was only figureheads }fdd ffhat Perry Heath was Hanna's representative, placed in charge of the Postoffiee Department to take care of HaIna's political cred itors.
 Three reports Of record bore this out, that of the Civil Service Commission in 1900 and those of inspectors who detailed positive proof of irregularities not only allowed, but ordered by Perry Heath. General Bristow's arraignment published yesterday proves that Charles Emory Smith was only in name the Postmaster General
 Aside from these irrefutable statements 1t is true that Senator Lodge and other leading Republican Senators voted to in- crease Machen's and Beavers salary. In the case of Machen it is of record that he was five years ago, tip before Sena- tor Lodges Committee, and was there openly charged with forgery.
 Senator Lodge also evidently let the al- legations against Machen slunber for years, and made no use of them until he found that, MT. Machen was running the game for Senator Hanna. and then he went to the Postoffice Department in the interests of President Roosevelt and had Machen removed. ----- --'---
 Wants Big Leaders Let Alone.
 It is said on good authority that the President yesterday warned MT. Payne not to lay too much stress on the Mo Kinley regime.
 This means the President is in a state of alarm fer his political future and has ordered Payne to let Perry Heath alone, let Hanna alone, let Charles Emory Smith alone. let Senator Platt alone, let

Don't Shear Your Shrubs.

The beauty and interest of shrub surely lie in it's natural habit and form says Professor L. H. Bailey in Country Life in America. When shrubs are sheared into formal shapes, the shrub no longer exists for itself, but is only a means of expressing some queer conceit of the shearer. Of course, shrubs should be pruned. to make them healthy and vigorous, to keep them within bounds, to increase the size of bloom, to check mere wavwardness: but all this leaves the shrub a shrub, with the hand of the pruner unseen. and does not make it to counterfeit a bottle or a barrel or para chute. If the forsythia has superlatlve merits, it is for the wealth of early spring bloom. Yet 1 know a yard in which the
