GREAT FIELD FOR FARMERS.
The Worlds Fair Full of Instructive
Features.
(By Frank Eberle.)

(By Frank Eberle.)
st. Louis June iS.--The greatest
school Of instruction for farmers, fruit
growers and stockmen that has ever
existed is the worlds fair at st. Louis
The whole theme Of the fair is instruc-
tion, its most striking features are
those pertaining to education. To the
farmer especially the educational fea-
lures are valuable. In fact more can
be learned in scientific, date,
practical farming at the worlds fair
in week than can be learned at all
of the county and state fairs of the
country in years. Here everything is
thorough and complete and every sort
Of improved machinery and method Of
cultivating the soil is carefully demon-
strated.
The palace of Agriculture is the larg-
est building on the ground, so great
is the Importance attached to farming
by the exposition company. Besides
this there are many acres outside the
building devoted to agriculture, and
the palace Of horticulture is devoted to
fruit and fruit growing. In the palace
Of Agriculture the various states of
the union and the leading nations Of
the world have exhibits showing their
princinal products. These are arranged
with excellent taste, the products Of
the field and farm being turned into
artistic decorations and beautiful pic
lures.
With the various products exhibited
are given facts and figures showing
where the best crops are made and the
relative merits Of the different varieties
Of grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. Some
Of the leading field crops are made spe-
cial features of the state exhibits and
are displayed in way to impart much
useful information to farmers from all
localities, by showing the effects Of
improving the seed, cultivating and
varieties
The United States government ex-
perimental stations show their methods |
Of cultivating the soil and destroying !
insects that injure crops. The details
Of disposing of destructiev insects, II
studied by the farmers Of the country |
will save millions Of dollars worth Of
farm products which are annually
destroyed by these insect pests. 1t
will be money we'll invested by every
farmer in the land to visit the worlds
Iair and study the agricultural exhibits
and learn how to protect
MS crops when the ravages Of insects

how to cross varieties to the

graph letter from the car to Presi-
dent Loubet, and that after handing 1t
TO the president, he would proceed to
Germany.
General niokotcheff said he did not
come to ask the support Of France IN
the pending conflict, as Russia had alb
solute confidence In her own final sue
cess. Il have come" he said. ito ask
your country, in the name of the en-
gagements which unite us, to watch
closely the frontier Of China in case of
the general rising which is to appre-
hended and in order that you should
be ready to second our efforts"
The general believes the Chinese viii
soon rise, and that consequently ener-
getic measures must be taken by Rus
sia, France and Germany.
After the publication of the Anglo
Japanese treaty a French Russian note
was communicated to the press in
which it was stated that in the event
Of French troubles in China the two
allied governments reserved to them
selves the right to consider means of
securing the defense Of their interests.
There is, the correspondent adds, no
other engagement between France and
Russia in regard to the far east.

The Horse Market.

The season of heavy receipts is prac-
tically over and lighter runs are an
ticipated in the future. For two weeks
there has been a descending scale III
the number of arrivals, with indications
of further decrease With the commence
ment of the summer trade. Demand is
moderately active for all classified
horses. altho not as aggressively urgent
as characterized the trade the first OF
the month. Eastern dealers are largely
hampered at current strong prices in
the country districts, which make the
problem difficult to obtain horses tha1
will net profit when sold to eastern
consumers. While eastern consumption
is considerably enlarged over the de-
mand which prevailed during the Win
Ter, the movement is not so aggressive
DIS a year ago. All Indications point TO
economic retren6hment and dealers are
shaping their affairs FOR a lighter sum-
Tler trade than twelve months ago For
good to choice drafters there has been
but little change from the average
prices OF last week, bulk of sales nj S115
a 225 and upward. The general run has
rot been up to average quality, and at
times the market appeared consider
ably lower. The fluctuations, however,
We're restricted principally to common
and medium offerings of all classes.
Choice eastern chunks are fair sellers
at s120m150 and upward common
grades slow at $70G115. Choice har-
ness horses have held active at $500
400 and we'll matched pairs have found
easy outlet at S3506T25.

day says:
Retail trade is stimulated by season.
able weather ana the Industrial outlook
is brighter on the whole, although sew
erai adverse factors have appeared. The
big dry goods auction sales opened
with an unexpected large attendance
and good prices were secured. 1t Is
Particularly gratifying to note that re-
tailers rather than jobbers have made
most OF the purchases thus providing
prompt distribution into consuming
channels throughout the country. Man
ufacturing lines report siigat i'm
proNejneEt at WOODEN mills anl shoe
factories. and while there is more idle
cotton machnery it is worthy of no: e
that the last Fan River statement
showed very little reduction in divi-
bends.
Railway earnings thus far reported
for May fell 81 per cent short of the
sais,e time last year, but foreign com
mcrce at mis- point for the last week
shows gains OF $1,637,200 in exports and
SSia.54a in imports.
It is increG s;ngly difficult to ind en-
corraging conditions pertaining to the
non and steel industry. Purchases are
small and frequently effected d; eurther
concessions, although it is difficult To
ind definitely lower quotations. except
fer pig iron.
Textile markets have improved to

vorable for retail trade while the or
ders for woolens and worsteds increas-
ed more thar the most sanguine man
ufacturers anticipated.
Although packer hides are active and

late settings, which is causing some
accumulation of the less desirable quail
ity. Hides are steady at the recent de-
cline, arrivals being promptly absorbed.

NEXT TO ROOSEVELT.

LaFoliette's Name Will Appear il
Same Column on Ballot.
| Lacrosse, Wis, May eT.-The La Fol
lette ticket will have the pleasure o.
being coupled with the presidential
ticket on the official ballot, despite any.
thing the stalwarts can do thru The
courts or otherwise.
| This is a statement that will startit
many thousands of people throughout
the state but nevertheless it is u sim
pie fact.
The new election laws which are now
being tried for the first time are filled
with many surprises but none create,
than this. Hidden down in the middle
of section IS, statutes OF 1898, rs
amended by section 3, chapter 451. laws
Of 1901, is this very direct provision UNI
der which presidential electors may Sc
lect the column of the official ballot UNI
der which their names are to appear.
When any person is nominated fof
the same office. by more than one par
ty or convention, his name shall be
placed upon the ticket under the deslg-
nation of the party which first nonli-
mated him or if he was nominated by
more than one party, or convention, az
the same time he shall, within the time
fixed by law for fling certificates OF
nomination file with the officer with
whom his certificate of nomination is
required to be filed. Il written election
Indicating the party designation under
which he desires his name to be print
ed on the ballot, and it shall be so
printed. If he shall refuse or neglect
to so file such an election. the officer
with whom the certificate of nominat-
ton is required to be filed, shall place
his name under the designation OF eth
er of the parties by which he was nomi-
mated. but under no other designation
whatever.
The application of this is simple. The
La Toilette convention named the pres
idential electors and the stalwart con-
vention endorsed them. 1t is for these
electors to select on which ticket their
names shall appear. AS most of them
are good La Toilette men there can be
no doubt that they will choose the La
Toilette ticket Even II the courts
should say that the stalwart ticket was
the regular one. it Is still in the power
of these electors to say which ticket
shall contain their names. Nothing
could be palmer tina nthe language of
the statute.
Many stalwarts regarded it as n give
away that their convention failed to
nominate complete ticket from cleo
tors down. BY putting up full ticket
they held it would show that they real
ly believed that theirs was the true
party convention. If the court endors-
ed them they would have complete
ticket to nut on the ballot. and upon the
LaFollette men would rest the respon-
sibility for dividing the electoral vote.
