LOWER MICHIGAN FARMER IS
IMPRESSED WITH THE U. P.
DECLARES THAT CORN CAN BE
SUCCESSFULLY RAISED HERE.
Says Methods Used in Lower Part of
State are the Best.

A lower peninsula farmer who has
been visiting in this district is strong
in his belief that the farmers of the
upper peninsula always can success
fully raise corn if proper methods are
pursued
",rhe thing that most impressed me
was the immense fields of sowed corn
evidently intended only for use as fod-
der" said the visitor, ''F'rom my know
ledge of corn raising / am convinced
that If the farmers here would follow
the same methods as we, who raise
great quantities of corn in the lower
peninsula, the results would be equally
as satisfactory. Slowed corn. because
IL stands thick on the ground, cannot
develop ears and ON the whole is not a
satisfactory winter feed for stock. If
the farmers would plant their corn in
hills and places not to exceed three
kernels in a hill they would find that
they could raise corn that really is
corn. | have noticed that even where
farmers have planted their corn i'm
hills they have used too much seed,
for to exceed three stalks of corn can
not mature in a single hill.
scarcely any one here, apparently,
uses silos, which in the older districts
have been found to provide the best
winter feed for stock of all kinds. /
would judge that corn properly planted
here so that it may ear out and then
cut and reduced to ensilage would fully
solve the feed problem, for it is prac-
tically certain that it would reach a
sufficiently advanced stage before frost
to make a great silo filler If the far
mers Of this district would put one
half the land they now have in sowed
corn to corn properly planted they
would be provided with winter feed in
far greater quantities and far better
quality than at present"

on Saturday agreed to increase the
amount for pauper's burial.N Hereto
fore the amount paid by the county
was $40, but hereafter $25 will be the

The undertakers in the county who
have been receiving the pauper cases
have refuse to bury any more for only
$40, because everything has increased
in price, even the wages paid the

proportions will be determined on be-

NEW YORK, Aug. IA sweeping
investigation into the high cost of liv-

the department of commerce and Ia
Dor. The investigation will cover the

sumner.
The present investigation is the

TWO ENGINES
COLLIDE BUT
NO ONE HURT

Head on collision about noon today

Hackman Klehfoth and company's
switch on South G street, which was
left open. badly frightened many pas
sengers on the fast train, but none
was injured except from very slight
bruises caused by being thrown from
their seats.
The thrilling accident was a. most
fortunate one and resulted in damage
of less than a thousand dollars, most
of which was confined to the damage
done to the engine of the north bound
passenger train.
Responsibility has not been ascer-
tanned but no doubt will be placed on
the person or persons responsible for
leaving the switch open.
The collision was witnessed by sew
eral trainmen and others who were in
the vicinity enroute to their homes.
According to information given by
trainmen, engine No. 1915 was run on
the switch. which is Just opposite the
south end depot on South H street
shortly before the north bound flyer
was due to arrive here. Someone. not
as yet known. left the switch open and
when the flyer came along at rate of
about fifteen miles an hour, it took
the switch, hitting the stationary en-
CINE and knocking it back about three
hundred feet.
George Barker. the road foreman Of
engines with headquarters at Peru,
was the engineer on the flyer and he
put on the reverse and threw the
brakes as quickly as he saw the dan
ger. He jumped and was unhurt. The
crew in charge of the stationary en-
CINE were not in the cab at the time of
the accident.
The engine of the flyer, No. 14S,

passengers had sustained any inju-
