genious Farmer

BY the adoption of unique plan
J. r. Morris, an Aurora county farmer,
without assistance is able to do as
much in the way of putting his seed
grain into the ground as many of his
neighbors who have several men to
aid them. Morris is compelled to do
all the work on his farm himself, but
as he has plenty of horses he has
been able, by an ingenious method, to
get his seed grain into the ground
much more rapidly than his neigh
bors, many of whom have several
men to help them. Morris while at
work in his fields manages eight
horses and three implements. He
bitches one team to a seeder and
two three-horse teams to two spring
tooth harrows. He then drives the
team to the seeder and leads the
other horses, which are hitched to
the harrows. He thus sows and Gov
ers the grain and performs the work
usually done by three men.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Dead Body is Found in Bottom of
an Ore Car While Unload
ing at Duluth.

Duluth, Mimi, June 3.--While un-
loading a Great Northern ore car at
the Allouez ore docks Thursday, the
workmen discovered the body of a
man, crushed to a pulp, under forty
tons of ore. The body was at the bot
tom Of the car, and apparently had
been ifeless but short time
The discovery was reported the COR
oner's office and upon investigation it
was found that the remains were those
of John Henry, service man at the Kim
ney mine in Bull The mine officials
state in telegram TO the coroner that
Henry was missed at about O'clock
Wednesday and as the car of ore
in which his crushed body was found
was loaded shortly after noon, it is
concluded that he was hurled under
meath the mass of ore when the car
was loaded.
+" The incident is a most uncommon
one. Veteran mine workers, such as
Henry is said to have been usually arc
very careful to stay out of an ore train
when the. cars are being loaded by
chutes.
Nobody at the Kinney mine saw the
accident, and just how Henry came to
be in the bottom of the car remains a
mystery. It is limited that his terrible
death might have been due to foul
play and that he was killed and then
placed in the bottom of the ore car.

A Skeleton.

Fosston.-A Skeleton was dug up by
a farmer, fifteen miles north of this
pace. 1t was found ut depth of
twelve and one-half feet and was very
large. Though badly decomposed, it's
general form and size could be clearly
made out The head itself extended
from corner of the we'll which the
farmer was digging and which is about
three and onc-ha'f feet square. The
teeth are we'll preserved and the lar
gest ones are between three and four
inches in length, occurring in groups of
three or four. The general character
Of the country where the skeleton was
found is hiliy. The sub. soil in the To-
cality is sand and gravel, though par
ticular stratum surrounding the skelc-
ton being dark loan.
Various opinions arc current as to
character of the skeleton, but the best
informed persons who have seen the
bones incline to the visw that they are
of mastodon. DR.. McKennon of this
place has in his possession some of the
best preserved bones.

If mortality statistics prove anything
at all they prove that the sanitary con-
dition of the Swedish cities is improv-
ing at a surprising rate. During the
decade 1S71~S0 the number OF deaths
annually per 1000 Inhabitants was
"a. 05 in the cities aud L. SO in the ru-
raj communities. During the decade
1s91-19oo the rates dropped to IT, 81 in
the cities and to l6. II in the rural COM
munities. The improvement kept on,
and in 1902 the mortality was even
smaller in the cities than in the rural
communities, the rates being Is 16 and
Is. 43 respectively. The rate in Stock
holm for 1902 was Is 81, the lowest
ever recorded.

Business Openings.

1t seems to me that the man with a
small capital can find no better oppor-
tunity for investment and for the es-
Establishment Of a small business than
in some of the many growing towns of
the Northwest.
The Great Northern railway issues a
booklet Business Openings which
adequately and comprehensively de-
scribes the needs of Che many towus
along its lines and contains detailed
list of the business openings afforded
the man with limited means as we'll as
the big investor: do not know of a
section of the country which offers
such imitless opportunities to the man
who is content to live in a new coun-
try. The fact that in nearly every
state of the northwest there is an
available supply for almost every form
Of manufacture, offers to the manu-
facturer chance to operate close to
the supply of raw material.
