AVERAGE Of 2DEATHS
FOR EACH WORKING DAY
Fatalities in Mines for 1913 Shown
by United States Bureaus
Official Report.

The year 1918 was more fatal for coal
miners in the United States than the
preceding twelve months. A report is
sued today by the bureau of mines
showed an increase Of fatalities of 425
over 1872. and twelve deaths for every
working day in the year. In the army
of 1886 underground workers Ass
persisted, fatality rate of 3.S2 in every
1000 men employed, as compared with
3.27 in 1912. Six thousand more men
were employed in 1918, and the increase
in production was between 10000. 900
and 100000 tons
Comment by DR.. Holmes.
Dr. Joseph A. Holmes. director of the
bureau, in commenting upon the record
for the year said:
+ AN examination of the statistics de-
velops the disappointing fact that in our
coal mining operations during 1913
there were killed 425 more men than
during 1912. This is an increase of Is
per cent in fatal accidents, with an in
crease of only per cent in coal pro-
ducticn.
We can find little comfort in the suS-
gestion that this increase may in part be
accounted for by the occurrence during
1913 of four large mine explosions. The
statistics show an increase in fatalities
during 1913 from all the underground
causes except mine fires and surface ac-
cidents.
Some progress has been made, how
ever, in the safety movement, as shown
by the statistics for the last eight years.
In the four years ending December 81,
1909. the average death rate was s.97 for
each 1000 men employed. In the last
four years the rate was 36S

HAy For steer,.

AT the Kansas experiment station al
talfa hay, sorghum hay and Kaff1r hay
were compared as roughages for fat
tening steers. says Kansas Farmer. Ii
was found that when alfalfa hay was
fed 1t took only about six pounds or
corn and cob meal to produce pound
Of gain, while when sorghum was FED
1t took Ill pounds of corn and cob
meal to produce pound of gain. The
figures for the Kaffir hay were ten
pounds of the meal for a pound of
gain. Experiments at other stations
indicate that under similar conditions
i would take about nine pounds of the
corn and cob meal TO make a pound OF
gain when clover and timothy hay were
the roughage. Judging from the ex-
periments. we would place a valuation
on sorghum and Kaffir hay of about
two-thirds as much per ton as we
would on clover and timothy hay mix
ed. Coarse stalked or sour kafllr or
sorghum hay would not be worth near
" this much. From personal expert
epce we know that cattle relish sor-
ghum hay and make fairly good gains

servants and children were disturbed
by strange sensations.
1t was common occurrence for them
to awake in the night with feeling Of
oppression. "as If some one were tap

heard, as If some one were walking
about or overhead. Once child rush

It was so strong as to make the eyes

may have been actual sounds coming
from an adjoining house, although any
