ers Badly Injured.
DETROIT, Feb. 20.-A special to The
Tribune from Seney, Mich, says: A very
peculiar accident, resulting in the death OF
four men, occurred at McKay's lumber
camp near here. A party Of Fins and
Poles was working on an incline of the
road shoveling away the snow which was
piled high on either 81 lie. The steam log
handler, which was being experimental
with, suddenly became unmanageable
and rushed down upon the men before
they could escape. They were ground be-
meath the wheels and some were thrown
up against the snowbanks. Seven men
were badly injured and four killed out
right.
Particulars are very hard to get as the
storm which has been prevailing for TWEEN
ty-four hours prevents trains from run
ming. 1t was learned however, that the
wounded men have been conveyed to
nearby camps. John Steinland and his
son are among the injured. The engine
which accomplished the terrible work had
been idle for several days. Even the en-
gineer cannot explain the accident.

Newspapers.
DETROIT, Feb 20.-A decision affecting
the newspapers of Michigan was decided
by the supreme court. A Detroit author
asked the Detroit Journal to review q
scientific book. This was done, and in a
column article the reviewer ridiculed the
book as having no scientific value. The
author sued and was given verdict Of
$500 in the circuit court. ft was appealed
and the lower court reversed.
The court said that malice was not
proven on the part of the defendant; that
the author invites cricism, and that the
critic Is not liable except in the case Of a
misstatement OF fact. The book and the
review are both before the public, which
can also Judge The court also said that
although the review was caustic and Sc
we're it did not exceed the bounds of legit-
innate criticism.

of Minneapolis were the defendants Inc
plaintiff company incurred losses IN 1u-
ture trading in both Chicago and Mime
apolis markets. The plaintiff claims the
manager had no authority to make such
trades. that even if he did they were
gambling transactions, and losses SO IN
CURED could not be set off against the
proceeds received from the sale OF grain.
1t appeared the manager had sole charge
of the business for years, and IN all
transactions made on the floor of the
Chamber of Commerce of Minneapolis
that the actual delivery of the grain was
contemplated and that the purchase and
sale of grain for future delivery, either
there or in Chicago, was contract which
could be enforced the same as any other
The public is apt to confuse the trading
with bucket shops (Which do not handle
any actual grain) with reputable houses
which do business on the various eX-
changes and the result is frequently ex-
pensive litigation and heavy losses to the
outside trade in addition to those made
on the board of trade. This case lasted
seven days. with able attorneys on both
sides Tt resulted in a verdict for defend
ant in every point in controversy.

Agricultural Notes.

Timothy should be cut before too
ripe.
Preparation of the land should be
deep-and thorough.
From sixty to eighty-five per cent Of
growing grass consists of water;
hence irrigated grass lands are great
yielders.
The Iowa station finds that at that
station winter wheat invariably out
yiSlds wheat, and also surpasses it in
quality.
Planting without riding generally
affords the larger yields, but stiff
soil and desire for an extra early
crop sometimes necessitates planting
on ridges.
1t is poor economy to have the hay
stacking done by poor stacker, simp-
ly because he works cheap. 1t will
be cheaper, i'll the long run, to pay a
good stacker double wages.
1t is all right to protect the crops
as far as possible, etc., but is as I'M.
portant these days to protect the
family from cyclones, by providing a
cyclone cellar in the yard near the
house.
The greatest dificulty Iowa farmers
experience in growing oats is tie ten
dency to grow too rank and lodge be-
fore maturity. The experiment station
has been testing fertilizers to stiffen
its straw, without success.
Through careless business methods,
says w. W. Stevens. too many farm
ers are unable to tell after crop has
been grown whether it has been a
profitable one OF not. Such careless
ness as the average farmer INDUCES
in would ruin any merchant in the
whole country.
