to COW the man before her. Then hc

reckiessly. "A Jury will decide that

LEAKAGE ON THE A R

The subject OF leaks 81 a farm !s
Of very great vital Importance TO all
the t!llers OF the soil. There are 80
many ieakaGes on AN ordinary western
farm that 1t Is said. and there Is a
great deal OF truth in it. TOO. that thers
is as much waste on some western
farms as the average eastern farm will
produce. This old adage. Take care
of tho pennies and the dollars will AXE
care Of themselves" Is very applicable
In farming and stock raising. says an
exchange.
1t IL not u purpose to enter into all
the details OF the subject before LIS at
this time. but simply to mention a few
OF the largest leakages that are found
on the ordinary farm. We 10 Il poor

leaving q large depression in he sur
face, which even a couple OF harrow
ings will not nll UP. One OF the corn
planter runners passes over this pot
and leaves two or three hills poorly
covered. which Is very readily devoured
by the birds II the squirrels.
Poor tools and poor machinery are
also a source OF great waste. and above
all the tools used on the farm a poor
corn planter. 1 think. takes the lead
for wastefulness. Let me cite you a
case that came under my own observa-
ton. An acquaintance OF mine pur-
chased a second hand corn planter at
a public sale. paying SIS or 500 for 1T.
or about one-half the price OF a new
planter. OF course 1t was recommend
ed " q good one. for Tom Lynch don't
sell anything poor.
Well. that planter was a daisy, 1t
would drop all the way from five or six
down TO nothing. or on an average Il
shortage OF about one hill out OF ten.
Seventy acres We're planted the first
year with this planter on good rich
ground. largely clover and timothy sod,
which should produce sixty or seventy
bushels Of corn per acre with proper
tillage. Here was q loss OF several
hundred bushels of corn which at pres
ent prices would purchase half = dozen
new planters.
Another waste. and 1t Is q CRUEL one.
10 poor. ill fitting harness. and coupled
with a poor driver. l should estimate
that about one-stxth of the ordinary
farm cams go through the spring
work with sore shoulders and necks, all
for lack OF proper harness and care.
This mean a vast of several bushels
of grain fed extra to keep up the vital
fty OF an animal that Is laboring all the
time In pain.
Improper handling OF and cultivation
of crops produces a great loss. Weeds

NO matter how clean you washed tho

NEGRO WAS VICTIM
EXPLOSION AT sLOSs-sHEFFIELD
 COMPANIES FURNACE.
Two Other Furnace Workers Covered With Molten Metal and May Die. Property Loss Was
 Severe.

Birmingham, May 14.-(Special.)- )-An explosion which was heard for miles around, and which caused considerable alarm for while, took place this morn ing at 4:30 o'clock, when molten iron burst through tile hearth of No. { fur mace of the Sloss-Shefield Steel and Iron Company's plant at North Birming- ham.
 Charles Johnson was caught in the molten iron and burned to death al- most instantly. Jim Brown and Archie Drake were literally covered with the hot metal and were fatally hurt. Wey- man Stein managed to get out of the way in time to escape fatal injuries. These accidents do not happen often at blast iron furnaces, but when they do, they cause considerable loss to life and property.
 Usually there is a large force of fur mace employees at work around the hearth of the furnaces That there were not number of hands covered by the molten iron this morning Is a miracle. The dead man and others in- jured are colored. The damage to the furnace will amount to several thous- and dollars.
