INDIANA SENATOR HAS MANY
FEDERAL POSITIONS FOR

Senator Beverage has announced
the keynote OF his policy in regard to
the distribution OF patronage The
junior senator is confronted with a
momentous responsibility in the dis
tribution of the federal patronage OF
the state at large and of eleven OF
the thirteen congressional districts
No other man in public life, except
the President has as sweeping a

The heads OF. the departments at

places at their disposal, because ap-

by the President. Senator Bever-
idge's recommendations as to federal
patronage in Indiana, except as to
the Sixth and Tenth Congressional
Districts will be conclusive.

mand.
Senator Beveridge states that he
will not consider applications before
March next and that in filling all
appointments two principles will be
strictly adhered TO as follows:
81 Men will be recommended from
the point of view of public service
and factions will not be recognized.

While there may be no infallible rule
by which man can be governed in Sc
lecting a high-class dairy cow, there
are many points that will assist and if
carefully considered will prevent dis
appointment as a rule. Remember that
q COW is machine and is intended to
change the different products on which
she is fed into something of more value.
There are two distinct types of these
machines. One manufactures or con-
verts feed into beef the other into
milk. There Is very decided and pro-
nounced difference in the type of the
animal tflat makes beef and the one
which manufactures milk. In the dairy
type we have an animal that Is angu-
lar, thin, somewhat loose-jointed and
with prominent bones. She is wedge
shaped from the front, with lean
head, moderately long face slightly
dished and a general contented express
sion Of the features. The muzzle is
large, mouth large, nostrils wide ana
open, clear, full bright eye, broad,
full and high forehead. ears medium
size, fine texture. covered with fine
hair and orange yellow inside. The neck
is thin. moderately long, with little or
no dewlap, and the throat is clean.
Wide space between the jaws, the
withers lean and sharp, the shoulders
lean and oblique and the chest deep
and wide, which indicates vigor and
constitution.-Field and Farm.

Berry Culture.

An authority says that on an acre
of rich, cultivated land $500 worth Of
berries may be grown, and that an acre
should produce at the rate of 200 BUSH
els.
Causes for short crop may be LAID
at the door of land deficient in fertil-
ity or plant food, Such land should
have composted manure applied and
turned under and top dress. Ashes
should also be broadcasted. Another
reason Is improper preparation of the
soil. Pillow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Again, there is
a poor crop when varieties are planted
that are not adapted to that particular
kind of soil and climate. This can be
determined either by the success OF
neighboring farmers of that locality,
or by testing a limited number Of
plants. Failure often comes from set
ting poor plants; only hardy, vigorous
plants should be purchased. Careless
ly setting out plants will also cause a
shortage. They should not be exposed
to the sun or wind before setting.
When put out the roots should be well
spread and fine dirt frmed around
them.
Using imperfect fertilizers is anoth-
er cause. There is a sex in plants.
Pistillates (female) must have stami-
mates (male) set with them to insure
good crops. Cultivation must not be
neglected. The ground at all times
must be fine, mellow and free from
weeds.
Both frost and drought are enemies
Of a good crop, and the most difficult
to overcome. Berry fields well culti-
waited are several degrees warmer than
uncultivated fields therefore less la
BILE to damage by frost. Retain mulch
ing as late as possible on Strawberries
in spring.

HanlOn and Welsh SIGN
to Box Next Month

Eddie Hanlon. the popular little local
lightweight who made such a good
showing against Johnny Murphy few
weeks ago, and Freddie Welsh, the
champion lightweight of England, were
matched last night by Sam Berger to
box 20 rounds at the Coliseum on the
evening of September 80. The men
did not select a referee, but decided
to meet five days before the mill and
agree on the third party in the ring
They. will weigh in at 133 pounds at
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Berger has been after the men for
some time, but Welsh held off till he
had finished up with Johnny Murphy
at Los Angeles. Hanlon has been keep
ing in shape since his return to the
ring and looks as though he will come
back and make good showing with
the Britisher.
Welsh has never appeared in this
city, and for this reason he should
prove somewhat of drawing card. He
has the reputation of being one of the
cleverest lightweights who ever donned
a glove, but he lacks the knockout
punch, SO Hanlon figures to fight him
to a standstill.

old time friends. The Bat looks fine
and brown and, as usual. is anxious to
do some lighting. He will need only a
little training to put him right, as he
has been doing a fine lot of outdoor
work in the mountains of New Mexico
for the last two weeks.
Shortly after Bat started up Market
street the ex old master, Joe Cans,
arrived from his mountain retreat.
Joe does not look as robust as some
of his admirers expected he would, but
at that his eye is bright and he says
that he weighs more than 40 pounds.
He will start in to work at Croll's gar
dens, Alameda, bright and early this
morning and expects to be right when
the bell brings him face to face with
Nelson on Admission day
Nelson. accompanied by Manager
Willis Britt and his old pal, Jack
Grace, will take to the mountains near
Willis this morning for little hunt
The Bat is crazy to. go after big game
now, and he never knows when he has
had enough. The party will return on
Saturday. when Nelson will think about
getting ready to train a bit.
