You will gladly profit by the fol-
lowing experience.

sufferer who was cured.

who uses a Deere planter can have a defritei idea as to the stand of the
crop when the seed are put in the ground: Nothing superior on the
market. Another strong feature is that the quantity Of fertilizer can not
only be regulated, but it is mixed with the soil by the distributor, in
stead of being in a stream, which might prevent termination should the
seed fall directly upon the guano.

accident in Minnesota. however. has
been decreasing during the past few
years, falling from 1925 per 1000 men
in 1906 to 4. 05 in 1910.
In the study of mine accidents in
Minnesota, the report makes analysis
of the methods and processes of min
ing used in Minnesota, describing the
open pit, the underground and milling
system in considerable detail.
One of the important chapters in
the report is the result of the investi-
cation on the "employers" liability"
The investigation covered 81 fatalities,
6 complete and permanent disable
ments. so partially permanent dis
ablements and 1876 minor accidents.
Homes Affected.
The 50 fatal accidents investigated
occurred in % industries. Thirty
nine of the men killed were married
and had 11S persons dependent upon
them. No child was considered a
dependent who earned IS a. week.
In Is cases the heirs received alb
solutely no compensation or aid from
the industry, not even funeral ex-
penses. In five cases three received
some compensation, but less than the
funeral expenses. In nine cases the
funeral expenses andu doctors bill
were paid. In q cases the family of
the deceased was not compensated
for the loss of their wage-earner:T This
income was taken away and no SUBJ
stitute offered. In eight cases where
compensation exceeded funeral ex-
penses it did not exceed $500. In three
cases the compensation was from 1901
to $50, and in two cases from $3.50 to
$1,000. Five families were paid from
800 to $1,500, three families from
$1,000 to $4,000, two were paid ST.
500 and four from $4,000 to $685..
Families Unprovided For.
Fifty per cent received no compen-
sation at all for the loss of the bread
winner, 24.20 per cent received $1,000
or less, 1903 per cent received from
$4,000 to $685.. In other words, half
of the families were left by the in
dustries with nothing to depend on.
Taking the 81 cases the average price
paid for human life was 1886 and
funeral expenses.
The report says that fortunately the
families of the deceased workmen
were not entirely dependent for future
support upon the industries in which
their bread-winner were killed. Twen-
ty-five of the families received some
form of insurance and four received
aid from charity. In seven cases the
insurance did not exceed $500.
M toto
studied by the field agents. Three of
the workmen were paralyzed, two
were crippled and one was physical
and mental wreck. Two of the six
received respectively $3.50 and SITS
from their employers, one $4,000 and
the others nothing. The one who
received SITS paid his attorney SIS.
Four of the six men are now living
wholly Or partially dependent upon
charity.

UNORGANIZED MINERS OF

.Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-The striking
miners in the Greensburg and Irwin
fields, are being made fairly
comfortable. AS it is generally be-
lieved that the struggle will last all
winter more than $500 has been
expended during the past few weeks
to build additional houses for those
living in tents, and arrangements are
being made to supply the workers
with the necessary provisions.
Nowhere in the world has there
been more interesting struggle
waged than is now in progress at
Greensburg. Practically unorganized,
the 10000 mine workers began this
contest over eight months ago with
out funds. They have been evicted
from the company houses, refused
provisions at "pluckme' stores, en-
Joined by the courts, beaten by the
''cossacks," harassed by strikebreak-
ers, many have been Jailed and seve-
raj killed. But they refuse to sur
render and the chances are good that
some of the plutocrats who have
been enriched by the miners will al
so be bankrupted by them.

of Earning Daily Bread In Mimi.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 30.-Eight thou
and five hundred eighty three acct
dents, 1852 of which were fatal, oc-
cured in Minnesota during the year
ending July 81, 1910, according to
report filed here by Don D. Lescohier,
special agent of the state labor de-
partment recently.
Besides this number there are 60
fatalities and 1.4OO accidents, which
occurred on railroads, bringing the
total number up to 312 fatalities and
1888 accidents The largest number
of accidents occurred in mines where
IS fatalities were reported. Railroad
ing comes next with 60 fatalities and
then numbering with SIS, general con-
tracing with 81, public utilities with
10 and agriculture with IL.
OF the 1858 accidents outside of
the railroads 10 caused total disabi-
lily, fate in many cases worse than
death. Three per cent of the acct
dents resulted in the loss of some por-
ton of the body. In 469 cases bones
were broken or fractured. Nearly
$500 injuries were reported as
"crushed," "bruised" or "maimed."
The majority of these were of a SER
ious character. Besides these there
were 284 burns, and scalds, 1913 in
juries to the eyes, and 60 internal in
juries reported.
Causes Assigned.
The principal causes of the acct
dents were inexperience, callousness
to danger, fatigue, youth, and the
speeding up of the machinery. Thirty
one per cent Of the persons injured
.had worked less than one month and
IL per cent less than one week. Many
reports revealed that the workmen
were injured either because they did
not know how to perform their work
properly or were not aware of the
danger which surrounded them.
Nearly Is per cent Of the men in
jured had been at their work more
than five years. Two explanations
are given for these accidents The
dangers peculiar to an industry such
as moving trains on railroads and
falling rooms in mines are danger
Gus alike to the experienced and in
experienced workmen. Moreover,
men who have been accustomed to
a danger become careless.
More than II per cent of the in
jured were under FL years Of age The
report says that boys between II and
Fl are characteristic for their cur
iosity, thoughtlessness and rashness,
which are mainly responsible for
their injuries.
aN. Comparisons Are Made.
j. = A comparison of fatal accidents for
each 1000 men employed in the Min
nesota mines with those in other
countries show that there are four
fatalities in Minnesota to one in
france or Belgium, three to one in
Holland or the United Kingdom and
two to one in Germany. The fatal
