The lender can refuse to loan
money or he can raise the rate
of interest so that the cost to
the borrower will he even great

is sure the money loaner should
bear his part of the burden of
taxation.
The 4th Amendment permits
st. Louis to issue IS, 900, 900 in
bonds to aid the Worlds Fair.
This does not effect the state
at large but merely allows the
city to issue and pay it's own
bonds. This it can not do
under the present constitution.
The appropriation of S., 900,
600 by congress is conditioned
upon the issuing of this
amount of bonds by st. Louis.
Unless the people of Missouri
adopt this amendment there
fore there will be no Worlds
Fair in st. Louis in 1903
Vote Yes.
The 9Th Amendment gives
power to the Missouri General
Assembly to appropriate one
million dollars from the state
sinking fund for an exhibit OF
the resources of the state at the
Worlds Fair. The amendment
will not increase taxation a
single penny as the money APP
propriated will be taken from
the state sinking fund. With
out it there can be no adequate
exhibit of the resources of Miss
ouri.
The 9th Amendment, like the
first, strikes at the grand jury
expense now comprising large
proportion of the of criminal
costs. Vote Yes.
The 9TH Amendment provides
that in courts not of record, in
civil cases, a two-thirds major,
ity of the jury may renoer a yer
dict, and in civil cases in court:
of record a three-fourths major
ity of the jury may render yer
dict. This will prevent hung
juries and mistrials and thereby
lesson court costs.

The LIST Amendment provides
that persons may be proceeded
against criminally by informa-
ton as well as indictment. IN

Good Outlook for Spring Pork.

There are some who consider clover
fattened spring pork better than the
corn made fall supply. The result is
that extra prices are often paid for clean,
sweet spring pork which cannot be OBJ
tanned for the corn made fall pork.
There is at present an excellent outlook
for next springs hogs. and it will pay
to carry pigs along so that they will be
in fine condition for spring fattening.
So says American Cultivator and adds ;
Quick and rapid growth is necessary
for the success Of this work, and both
the feed and the protection Of the ami
mails must be considered We cannot
feed them too literally up to the point
whore they do not waste any Of the food.
1t should be seen that the animals are
not exposed too much to Indictment
weather. In very cold months good
deal Of our food is sometimes required
simply TO make animal heat. An excess
Of this. waste Of heat TO keep the bodies
warm is great loss in the end. The
amount Of actual food required to keep
the pigs growing rapidly depends to .
degree upon the protection the animals
receive. Thru them loose In the cold
pens in all kinds Of rough weather
without good sleeping pens and warm
bedding and they will require fully &c
per cent more food just to keep up t.
the normal standard Of animal heat.

Agricultural.
WAY 9 Farmer Should Raise Vege-
tables.

First, because they are necessary to
health. Second, because they are so
easily raised. Third, because it is his
duty to raise them for the good of his
family.
Vegetables will make family more
happy, more congenial and better nat
ured in every way. Potatoes are vege-
tables. but we do not want to stop at
them.
Here is list that nearly all farmers
should rise: Cabbage, turnips, onions,
squash, pumpkins, beets, vegetable oys-
ters, parsnips and celery. We have all
of the above in our cellar now, and can
get any of them when we want them
without going out in the cold. We have
enough celery, growing nicely; set in
sand, to last us until warm weather. 1t
is getting better and more crisp every
day.
Besides the above list, we have q
small fruit garden with blackberries,
grapes, currants, gooseb rries, black and
red raspberries, Strawberries, asparagus,
apples, pears, peaches and cherries. 1t
is bad year, indeed, that we do not
have good supply Of some of these
good things to draw from.
We also raise sweet corn, peas, lettuce
spinach, stringbeans, and lots Of other
things to numerous to mention.
Now, how can we raise all those things
and DO other farm work? Simply by
having things handy and plant and ar
range the garden with system. Do not
spade up square beds as our fathers did,
and lay the garden off like miniature
village lots, but plant everything in long
rows, and wide enough apart to admit
of horse cultivation and if you are not
able to buy fine tools, make them. A
narrow "a" drag with fine teeth can
easily be made, and will do good work
used in time.
The reason so many farmers have no
garden is that they have it arranged so
unhandy that is has to be worked with a
hoe. The hoe does not work in these
days Of fast machinery.
Rearrange your garden next spring.
Put it close to the house. This will
make you eat more vegetables, because
they will be handy.
Put it close to the road also. If it
have any pride this will make you keep
it cleaner, and you will arrange it better
every year, so other farmers will look at
it as they pass by. 1t does me lot of
good to have people "crane" their necks
to look at our garden as they pass by.
You can raise more garden stuff than
you know what to do with if you only
go at it right aud hardly miss the

Clover as q Fertilizer.

Glover returns to the soil from SO ia
$50 pounds an acre of nitrogen in addi-
ton to that moved in the crop. When
purchased commercially, as So uthern
and Eastern farmers are COMPEL ed to
do, nitrogen costs from IL to Is cents
per pound. The Western farmers can
grow clover and obtain nitrogen in
abundance becsuse of the liberal amounts
in our soil of lime aud potash, upon
which clover feeds. The Eastern and
Southern farmers are less favored, be-
cause their soils are also poverty stricken
IN lime and potash, and they are un-
able to obtain nitrogen so easily---by
growing cIover-as can the Western
farmer. The extensive cultivation of
grains for past years has seriously re-
duced the nitrogen content Of the soil,
and change in the system Of farming
is imperative if larger yields are desired.
Clover is one of the best crops that can
be grown to bring our soil up to high
state Of fertility. Soils that have pro-
duced grains for number Of years are
in need of some vegetable matter, as
clover roots, to bind the particles and
improve both the chemical and physical
properties of the soil. The decayed
clover roota enables the soil to retain
more water and to withstand better the
evil effects OF drouth. The clover roots
in their decay make the mineral plant
food elements more available. The de-
caying vegetable matter acts upon and
combines with the inert matter of the
soil This results in making the plant
food more active. Crops need food, and
also need help in procuring food, as
much as animals, and some crops, like
some animals, need more help than
others Glover is particularly valuable
in preparing the way for the weaker
feeding and more exacting grain crops /.
As fertilizer clover is unsurpassed. -

Necessity of Water.

Experiments show that COW, when

to 1900 pounds Of water per month,
the average quantity determined by test
ing q herd. being 1000 pounds per
COW. This fact shows the Importance
Of an unlimited supply Of pure water at
all seasons Of the year. In every 100
quarts Of milk the farmer sells about SO
quarts Of water, and when the COWS
cannot procure water at all times they
will fall of in yield.

American Athletes Won.

London, July 9-The American ath-
letes won eight out of Is amateur events
for the championship of Great Britain.
The Amateur Athletic association cham
pionship games were held at Stamford
Bridge, and as the Americans competed
in only IL events they won all but four
of the contests in which they took part.
Such a clean sweep is without parallel
More especially is it noticeable when it
is remembered that they opposed the best
amateurs not only of England, Ireland
and Scotland, but the colonies as well.
The New York Athletic club got the lion s
share, taking the weight putting, ham
mer throwing, pole vault and fourmile
run. Pennsylvania was second, winning
the high jump, the hurdles and the long
jump. Georgetown university won the
lO0-yard dash Princeton university Sc
cured second place in the l0O-yard dash
and the high jump, while Chicago uni
versity secured the same place in the
quarter mile run, and Pennsylvania add
ed to her laurels by getting second place
in the pole vault. Syracuse university
failed to put in an appearance, both her
men not arriving in time to enable them
to participate in the events.
Several Americans did not enter the
events, owing to being SO out of form, due
to the climate, or probably every event
would have been won by them, but with
Cregan of Princeton in i'll health, scarce
ly knowing whether he was to run until
the bell rang, and Terry of Princeton en-
tirely knocked with a water knee and
Orion and Alexander Grant unable to
come within 20 seconds of their normal
time.

| Vancouver, b. c., July 9-The steamer
Amur has arrived from Skagway, bringing
$250,0O0 in gold dust and l40 passengers.
Of these, 80 were returning miners, who
had sacks of from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
while several Vancouver merchants
brought large returns from their north
ern branch stores.
The most interesting news brought by
the Amur was that of the finding of the
body of Karl Olson, who was murdered
last December with Clayson and Relfe,
two other American citizens. Olson,s
body was found on a sand bank near Sell
kirk and was taken down to Dawson by
the steamer Eukoner.
Passengers leaving Dawson 10 days ago
on the Columbian met the Yukoner going
down the river There were said to be
marks of violence on Olson's body, and
the authorities consider the evidence of
his murder conclusive.
H. M. Martin, mining recorder at Sell
kirk, was out duck shooting, when his
gun accidently discharged and the con-
tents of one barrel emptied into his fore
arm He will also lose two fingers.
stampede of miners to the new pla-
GERS near White Horse is reported. Do
minon and Hunker Creek clean-ups are
turning out much better than expected.
DR.. Carol, a prominent physician of
Vancouver, spent several days on claims
on Hunker, and says several men there
were taking out 500 an hour.
Captain John Irving, a well known
steamship owner and former member of
parliament, came down on the Amur. He
states, on the authority of government
officials in Dawson, that the gold yield
on the Yukon for the season is much
larger than last year.
