lieutenants are not willing to take
positions for themselves outside the
country or even outside Indiana they
do not hesitate to urge the president
to appoint their followers to offices
within the state. Now, Senator Bev-
eridge, whom the Fairbanks faction
hopes to overthrow, is the only Re-
publican Indiana has in congress aside
from Representatives Crumpacker and
Barnard, and the rules of the game as
Taft announces it is to be played make
Beveridge all-powerful in the matter
of Indiana patronage. When the Fair
banks lieutenants insist that If the
president wants to show his kindly dis
position toward their wing of the party
he shall appoint this man or that to
office, without regard to Beveridge' 8
recommendations, it places Mr.. Tart
in a pretty tight corner. And there

political ambitions. The biggest kind
of fight is on in Indiana and the
president is having the hardest kind of
time to avoid the appearance of par

1t has been Mr.. Taft's ambition to
reconcile and make supporters of those
elements in the Republican party which
opposed his nomination. The Knox wing
of the party was brought into line
when Mr.. Knox accepted the cabinet
premiership, and the president has
been especially anxious to give some
proof of friendliness toward the Fair
banks wing. He has offered the very
best Of places to ex-senator Hemenway
and ex-Representative Watson, and
they have been refused. He even had
under consideration the advisability of
offering Mr.. Fairbanks the post of am

Yet the Ohio Republicans who
fought Taft's battle against the For
aker-Dick combination are clamoring
for recognition, and it is only natural
that the president should wish to fa-
vor them. While it probably is true
the relations between Burton and the
president are not so close as they once
were, Burton was one of the original
banner from first to last. Burton nat
urally reasons that he ought to have
the inside track of Dick, whose re-
election as senator would be a menace
to Burton, and is is CALLING that Dick
should be consulted equally with him
when Ohio appointments are to be
made.
1t is a tribute to Taft IS ability as a
narmonizer that he has managed to
preserve this far the semblance of ac-
cord between the Ohio senators, but a
break is as certain as night is certain
to follow day. Dick and Burton each
is going to try to secure appointments
which will serve his own cause, and as
their political fortunes travel opposite
roads the president in his present
course will not long be able to satisfy
both or either of them. When the in
evitable break comes Ohio Republicans
are likely to have even a bigger row
on hands than they have had during
the past year.

News OF NATIONS
CAPITAL
By Sheldon s. Cline.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-While
waiting for congress to get the tariff
bill ready for his signature President
Taft is devoting good deal Of his
time trying to straighten out the af-
fairs of the Republican party in Ohio.
He is exceedingly anxious that har-
mony should prevail in his own state
and in the hope of achieving it he is
consulting freely with Senators Dick
and Burton and the Republican mem-
bers Of the Ohio delegation in the
house.
So far as surface indications 90 Sen
ators Dick and Burton are working in
harmony, but in the very nature of
things the harmony cannot extend very
far beneath the surface. Coming as
they both do from the northeastern part
of the state, their homes within thirty
miles of each other, their interests are
naturally antagonistic. Tradition in
Ohio gives one senator to the northern
and one to the southern part of the
to succeed Foraker he very materially
reduced Dick chances of reelection
And just as Dick didn't want Burton
elected, so it would be to Burton 8 in.
terests to have Dick defeated for re-
election. Should Dick be returned to
the senate two years hence Burton then
would be in the same unhappy position
Dick now occupies, his chances of re-
election complicated by the demand of
the southern part of the state for
recognition.
Charles p. Taft, the president s
brother, is regarded as certain to be a
candidate for Dicks toga, so this is
added as an additional embarrassment
to the president in his efforts to pre-
serve harmony in Ohio. Senator Dick
never pretended to be Taft man and
there does not exist a single reason, as
reasons ordinarily are guaged in poll
ties, why the president should regard
the senator's interests in the making
of Ohio appointments. Yet, should
the president fail to give Dick the same
consideration Burton received the
charge would be made that the presi-
dent was seeking to enhance his broth
ers political fortunes at Dicks ex-
pense, and Dick still has sufficient fol-
lowing to make harmony impossible
should such suspicion hold sway.

THE PARASITE DopDER.

The worst enemy Of clover anu alfai-
ia fields is dodder. parasitic plant
whose seed is light gray, yellowish or
brown and about the size Of red clover
seed and very hard to distinguish
from it. Dodder seed terminates in the
ground, sending up a slender, thread
like stem, yellow or reddish in color,
which at once attaches itself to its
host plant, the one on which it sponges
for living. Twining closely around
the stem or leaf, it sends its sucking
organs into the tissue and lives on its
juices, weakening or killing the plant.
The dodder stem may be cut into any
number of pieces, but If attached to
clover or alfalfa each section will
thrive. The dodder flowers and pro-
duces abundant seed, which drop t0
the ground for another season. Glover
that is infested with dodder not only
mats together and lodges, but is cured
with difficulty and has been known to
cause scours in cattle when fed as
hay. Once established in an alfalfa
field, dodder is likely to ruin it. II

Oats cut green in the early dough
stage and properly cured make a
roughage that is not appreciated to the
full. Such oat hay is nearly as good
as timothy and much to be preferred
to millet. When cut early in the above
manner the land may be sowed to rye
or some other crop which will furnish
good feed during the fall and winter
and give a good supply of green ma
nure to plow under in the spring for
corn.

A nearby reader of these notes,
young man who has but limited

tions as to how and when he could
to best advantage start poultry farm.
He expresses a preference to be near
some body Of running water, so that
he could keep ducks and geese as we'll

land to raise the grain needed in his
operations. 1t would be impossible to
state without knowing conditions in
timately whether one town were bet
ter than another as a market for poul-
try products. There is little question
that there are many where the condi-
tions would be all right Success in
any case would depend more upon
the man than the conditions. We
would suggest to our friend that he

centers, inquire the price Of small
parcels Of land which would be suit.

The idea Of q cooperative laundry
located at the creamery! where the
waste steam and heat could be use l
in operating it, is said to have been
preached a number of years ago by
Secretary James Wilson before a west
ern farmers institute, and the objec-
tion urged against it by the farmers
wives present was that they didn't
care to have anybody outside their
own homes see how dirty their clothes
were. While there is little question
that country clothes do get dirtier
than city clothes as result of dust
and sweat and heat, squeamishness In
this particular las to quite an extent
disappeared with city folk with the
advent of the city laundry. Could the
good wife Of the farm home be re-
lieyed Of the drudgery Of the Monday
wash for about six weeks her fastid
iousness would likewise disappear.

Every boy who has chance to go to
school should make the most Of it and
not squander the best opportunities he
ever has by fooling away his time with
things that are not worth while. The
reason why so many boys make mis-
take at this point is that they don't
see the connection between schooling
and success in after life. But, whether
they see it or not, the connection Is
there just the same. The difference
between the fellow who goes through
life merely clodhopper and ignora-
mus and the one who succeeds in what
he undertakes is largely the result OF
the use which is made Of the years in
school Many a man looking back is
able to see the mistake he made when
he quit school for no good reason and,
metaphorically speaking, kicks himself
soundly, but to no purpose, for 1t II
too late. The time for the boy to give
this matter Of schooling effective con-
sideration is when kicking will do
some good.

THE WILD RICE LEGEND.

LOngfelloW'S "Hia watha" relates an
interesting legend Of the origin Of the
corn plant A legend Of similar charm
has been handed down telling Of the
origin of the wild rice which is rel
ished not only by myriads Of wild
fowl, but is staple article Of food
with many northern Indians. The
story is that long years ago the Indian
tribes lived in the sunny south, but in
course Of time they increased, cover
ing all lands. except the north. In
order to prevent the extinction Of
game many tribes became cannibals.
One tribe, whose chief was Babomwa-
giwiskung. thought this was wrong.
Wandering one day far from his haunt
in search CT game, he became exhaust
ed from fatigue and hunger and lay
down to sleep. In vision he saw a
beautiful white spirit. which told him
to gather his tribe together and take
them to the northland. where they
would have peace and plenty. On his
journey he would come to a great lake,
on the shore of which he would find
q birch bark basket containing seed
which he was to SOW upon the waters,
and this would grow and produce a
food that would prove everlasting.
The only condition exacted was that
his tribe should always live in peace
and harmony with the white race. The
directions were carried out, the seed
planted. and wild rice grew, furnish
ing a nourishing food for the Indian
and proving great attraction for
wild fowl.
The existence of this legend is cited
to the present day to explain why the
Chippeway Indians have never been at
war with the whites. Wild rice still
forms a staple article Of diet with
many northern Indians, while the ex-
tensive fields Of it are the gathering
place for wild fowl, some of them
flying hundreds of miles to reach them.
The plant thrives in ponds or flowing
streams. varying in depth from a few
inches to four feet. The seed is often
sown in game preserves and private
ponds and seems to do well under a
variety of soil conditions. though It
seems to flourish best where the bot
tom is a soft black mud. The seed
may be sown in spring or fall. prefer
ably the latter. and may be secured Of
several northern firms. Where wild
rice grows the ducks will come to feed,
and the hunting in many locality
where there are suitable ponds or
streams could be greatly improved
