HANDLING THE
DRIVING HORSE.
Careful Horsemen See That
Harness Is In Good Repair.

Many Of the numerous and serious
accidents that daily occur with horses
are more result of carelessness on
the part of the horsemen than of the
horses and could be avoided by a lit
tie care and Judgment In handling the
driving horse, vehicles and harness.
No matter how gentle a horse may
be, the careful driver never leaves
him standing united. says the Iowa
Homestead. One never knows what
will happen. as these frights and run
Always occur In the mere fraction of
minute. and by securely tying the ami
NAL no risk whatever is being taken.
The careful driver never goes out of
q walk when passing over bridge,
culvert or any kind of crossing. as
1t damages the horses. harness and
vehicles. 1t is not only apt to cause
serious accidents. but in case of a de-
fective crossing. such as hole for the
animals leg to run through. it often
results In crippled or ruined horse.
The careful driver never knowingly
leaves the barn with single strap or
buckle loose. missing or broken. Such
defective parts usually are very easy
to repair out on the road when 1t he
comes necessary. but the loosening of
some part of the harness often fright
ems the animal. causing him to kick,
plunge and tear up things in general.
Keep every strap and buckle in good
repair. especially the lines. checks and
tugs. One wants things so the horse
cannot break loose from the vehicle
and lines that will hold him In check
when necessary.

ALABAMA PROFITS
 BY DEMONSTRATION
Report Made on Work in
 State During Year
AN INCREASE IN CORN
With an Agent in Each County This Fear, 2000 Demonstration Farms Are Now Expected to Be
 Maintained

Washington, March 14.-(SpeciaD-An lh- te~esting report on farm demonstration work done in Alabama during 1911 by the department of agriculture has been received by Secretary Wilson.
 In corn there was a total of 1576 demon- stretions; in other words, 1876 farmers Tn the state cultivated part or all of their corn crop according to demonstration methods These 1576 demonstrations aV- eraged about three and one-half acres each, giving total of 5i73 acres. These 6473 acres averaged 463 bushels per acre, and the total yield on the entire area was 253 AS bushels. Alabama used to average 13ib bushels to the acre, but she has been doing better lately, and in 1911 averaged lS5 bushels to the acre. In other words, there are 27S bushels, which represents the actual increase per acre in bushels when good methods were used. This 27.S bushels at soc per bushel gives an in creased crop value per acre of $22.2 or total on 5473 acres of S121, 719.52.
 The results with cotton were a total of 1se7 cotton demonstrations in the state. with an average of about 4.5 acres each or a total of S47s acres. These SA7S acres yielded grand total of 12226,13S pounds of seed cotton, or an average yield per acre of 14429 pounds. Alabama averaged in 1911 about 600 pounds seed cotton per acre; hence we see the increase on the demonstration plots over the average was

President Miller Issues Some
 Railroad Accident Statistics

From the executive department of the Southern railway yesterday was issued a statement from the pen of Darius Miller. president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, about the death rate on railroads
 The letter of MT. Miller, considered an executive of much ability and knowl- edge, was issued because of the reported desire of authorities to investigate the making of steel rails to ascertain whether defective rails caused the fearful death tolls that are annually exacted by rail- road operations.
 MT. Miller points out in his address that trespassing on railroad property re- suits in more deaths than any other source and calls attention to the fact that statistics from the interstate com merce commission show that in 10 years only 106 persons have been killed In train derai.ments, while trespassers are killed at rate of 1o4 every 10 days.
 The statement, which is letter ad- dressed to the governors of several states, is as follows:
 Certain phases of the subject of rail- way accidents are being given attention by the officials of the state and national governments who are concerned with the regulation of railways I am writing this letter to call the attention of yourself and others occupying public offices of responsibility and influence, to the fact that the most serious phase of this sub ject seems to be receiving almost no con- sideraton from either the public or pub lie officials
 Because of the fact that there re- gently have been some accidents due to breakage of rails which have been given widespread publicity, it is reported that certain of the regulating authorities are considering taking some action In ref erence to the rail situation. The sta- tistcs of the interstate commerce com mission show that during the last 10
