Cost of Corn.

The results for 1902 bf the statistical
Investigations at Northfield, Marshall
and Halstad, which are being carried
on by the state experiment station and
by the statistical bureau of the United
States department Of agriculture, are
being summarized. These investiga-
tions were undertaken to secure facts
for the use of all the farmers of the
state-as to the cost, returns and pro-
fits Of each line Of business on the farm.
It-was found that the cost of grow
ing an acre of field corn. including cut
ting, shocking and shredding, was
s14s3. The cost each acre when husk-
ing on the hill was $1l.sl.
Some of the factors used, as Is cents
an hour for man labor and ~ cents an
hour for horse labor, have not been
finally settled upon, hence the foosings
may be changed before the facts are

Unusual Fatality.


Arthur Proehl, the nine-year-old son
of Mrs. Elizabeth Proehl, who resides
with her father, Henry Beneke, in
Rich Valley, near Glencoe, was killed
in a peculiar manner. b
The little fellow went to The hen
house to gather some eggs, and had to
climb up to reach the upper tier of the
nests
His weight on the tier pulled it over
and it fell, carrying the boy with it,
pinning him down on the floor in the
corner of the coop in such manner
that his mouth and nose were forced
into the hollow of his left arm, which
had become doubled under his face as
he fell.
The weight. of the box was so great
that the boy was unable to move it and
he was suffocated, being dead when
found ten minutes later by his uncle,
