inmate except under the most favorable
conditions When the planter learns to
take all these details of selection, pur-
chase and testing of seed into considera-
ton before sowing one more of the
causes of failure will be eliminated.
Many failures arise from not knowing
how to sow the seed and what quantities
of seed to use. Often only about half
the amount of seed that should be sown
is used and these sown so as to be in
patches instead of Being evenly distrb-
uted over the soil Often the seed are
covered too lightly and IL they terminate
at all the plants for want of depth Of
soil perish. On the other hand seed are
' often covered so deeply that 1t Is impos-
sible for the plants to push through. a
| pretty safe rule to be governed by in this
seeding is to have the seed bed so finely
prepared that the seed will only need to
be covered about three times as deep as
the diameter or thickness of the seed or
course we should be governed in this ac-
cording to the kind of soils we have and
the weather conditions at the time of
seeding. For heavy clay soils In seasonal
BILE weather seed should be covered light
ly, while for lighter or sandy soils they
need a deeper covering. This is one of
the most important points I'm the culture
of grasses and until It is fully under
stood the farmer will have trouble with
his grass crops.
The farmer who has paid no attention
to all these causes here enumerated II he
will study and put them into practice
will succeed so well in growing grass that
he will wonder why he had never thought
of these matters before.

Jury Decides He Did Not Libel
Justice Deuel., Of Town Popics.
One of the Most Noted Cases ON
Record Finished Today In
New York.
JOKE ON ATTORNEY JEROME

New York. Jan. 2G.-The jury in
the case of Norman Hapgood. editor
of Golfers Weekly. charged with
libeling Judge Deuel.. connected with
Town Topics. brought In a verdict Of
not guilty today.
The last stage of the trial was
reached yesterday when the taking
of testimony was ended and Edward
II. Shepard OF counsel for the ac-
cused editor made the opening argu-
ment for the defense.
Several witnesses were examined
yesterday. The striking feature OF
the testimony was given by Mr.. Hap
good himself, when he took the stand
in his own behalf and declared that
which he written about Town Topics
was based upon Information fur
nlshed to him by District Attorney
Jerome himself.
Robert ]. Collier, manager and
publisher of Golfers Weekly, was
the first witness. To Mr.. Shepard
he said:
''In October. 1904, a copy of Town
Topics was delivered at my house,
and I saw in 1t an article referring
TO Miss Alice Roosevelt, only by her
first name. When | went down to
the Office ! called Hapgood's atten-
tion to that article and told him |
thought 1t the vllest article ever
printed in any news paper, and sug-
gested he write something about It.
lie did so. an editorial headed "The
Most Degraded Paper in the United
States"
"Hapgood, In his article. however,
did not name the paper, but when
read the proof wrote in the name
Town Topics, telling Hapgood at the
same time that my action would
doubtless involve us in personal
abuse"

POLICE BILL TO BE
OFFERED in HOUSE
Requires Second Class Cities to Have Not
Less Than 80 Patrolmen.

II Is not known what the object of
this bill is, but II is said to be mainly
to prevent any reduction in the Pa
ducah police force.
4, 1t is claimed by the local police
commissioners that the appropriation
made for the police department this
year will necessitate a reduction in
either the force or the salaries. The
legislative boards have nothing to
say about which shall be done and
the question has not yet come before
the police commissioners.
If the object of the bill to be in
troduced is to prevent a reduction
of the Paducah police force, however.
It will have no effect on the appro-
priation recently made by the coun-
ell.
A member OF one of the boards
said today. when told of the bin:
This will not affect us, so far as
the recent appropriation is con-
cerned. We have made the appro-
priation we deemed necessary for the
local police department. and the
number OF patrolmen may be in
creased to any number desired so
far as we are concerned-but no
more than what we have appropriat-
ed can be expended in the depart
ment this year.
II the police bill was considered
at the conference of mayors recently
It was studlously kept out of the

Policemen on Trims.

Frankfort Ky. Jan. 26.-The rail-
roads committee of the upper branch
has determined to report favorably
to 1t the measure of Senator Shadoan
providing for the appointment of rail
road policemen for the several rail-
road corporations for service upon
their trains when necessary. The
policemen are to be appointed by the
governor upon designation by the
company desiring such officers, and
the corporation is to bear the expense
in connection with the appointment
and service. The committee amend
ed the bill in but one particular, that
to the effect that the polisemen ap-
pointed shall have authority to make
arrests and serve papers in connec-
ton Herewith only upon railroad
trains and in cases growing out of
such arrests. In other words, that
they shall not serve any paper which
the law now provides shall be served
by another officer.
Senator Shadoan says such legisla-
ton Is badly needed for the eastern
section of the state. where there is
much of liquor drinking and bolster
business on passenger trains. The
railroad companies are not unfavor-
able to the. measure, for it is not
compulsory upon them to appoint
such policemen unless they deem
them necessary for the safe conduct
of passengers between certain points.
