ing both sexes, may be conservatively
estimated at $4,000 and the number Of
injuries involving a disability of more
than four weeks, using the ratio Of
Austrian experience, at approximately
100000
"TheSe numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
of Industrial accidents, for such studies
as have already been made show that
Of the accidents involving disabilities
of one day and over at least three
fourths terminate during the first four
weeks.
''The injuries which contribute the
greatest number of fatal accidents,
according to Science for Aug. 80, 1915.
are railroad employments and agricul-
tural pursuits, each group being re-
sponsible for approximately 1920 fatal
tiles each year. Coal mining contrib
utes more than 1900 and building and
construction work nearly 1000. Gen
eral manufacturing, while employing
large numbers, produces only about
1900 fatal accidents.
when the fatality rates are cOnsid-
cred, metal mining ranks as most haz-
ardous, with a rate Of four per thou
sand; coal mining comes next with a
rate Of 35, and fisheries and navigation
following with a rate of three per thou
sand.
Manufacturing industries as a whole
rank lowest, with a rate of OPS per
thousand, but the fact should not be
overlooked that this low average rate
covers manufacturing groups varying
widely in hazard. including on the one
hand boilermaking and the various de-
partments Of the iron and steel indus
try, in some Of which fatality rates as
high as those in metal and coal mining
have prevailed, and on the other hand
the textile and clothing industries, in
some Of which the risk Of fatal acct
dent is practically negligible.
"These estimates are derived from
the best sources available. At the pres
ent time there are no entirely complete
and trustworthy industrial accident
statistics for even single important
industry in the United States. This
lack Of trustworthy industrial accident
statistics is due to the absence Of any
uniform requirements in the various
states as to the reports of Industrial ac-
cidentS."

Did you ever stop to think how
of year?
Next to bread you use milk, if you
are an average individual, more extern
sively than any other food.
Milk, or one of it's products, is found
in surprisingly large number of the
preparations commonly found on our
tables.
We have but few dishes, which in
their making do not require it or one
of its products, or which cannot be
improved by it's use. It's addition
makes articles of doubtful food value
valuable, and makes already valuable
food articles better.
Not only is milk balanced ration
in ITSELF but it has a peculiar fitness
to build up bone and the various It's
sues and organs of the body.
If the milk supply were suddenly
cut off we would be very much in
convenienccd, at least, until substi-
tute could be found Thus far it has
been impossible to make substitute.
Some of the smartest men have been
trying to make milk out of vegetables
and other matter, but as yet old "Brin-
die" has no competitor. She probably
never will have.
Not only are we directly dependent
upon the cow for her products, but
she also has hold upon us in an in
direct way. Cream is used to manu-
facture butter and other articles, but
the by~product, skim milk, remains
upon the farm and is fed to the calf,
starting it off to maturity so that it
can later take the place of it's moth
er and furnish us more milk. What
remains, and the whey from the
che ese factories, millions of pounds
of 1t, is fed to the pigs to make valu-

DRAINAGE MAKES
WET LANDS PAY

Good drainage pays. Sometimes the
farmer gets his money back the first
year. but almost always through the
sale or use of the first few crops.
The drainage experience of one Wis
consin farmer should be known by
every man who is doubtful of the ad-
yantages to be gained from draining
wet fields. Here it is, just as it
was told few months ago to former
Governor w. D. Hoard, who for years
has urged the farmers of this and 9TH
er states to "get out of the mud"
In 1902 twenty-year-old boy grad
uate of de short course at University
of Wisconsin, came home to his
fathers farm. He tolt to his father:
Say, father, l saw some soil vlch vas
clear peat. de same as We got on our
farm, and l saw dere on de unlver-
sity in such a soil dere is a good crop
of corn. Now, pa, / belief we can
do just de same thing here on our
farm, but We got to tile it..
THE boy made an estimate over
ten acres thing of 500 >and vent out
himself and tiled it, but he borrowed
the instruments from his school, and
in the same fall the ten acres vas
broke during the winter.
Den it vas covered NIT barnyard
manure, about ten loads per acre.
In the spring dat land vas pulverized

corn vas put in drilled. De corn
growed very good and vas as tall
as fourteen feet, and it vas an awful

Before We put it into de silo, We

it home on de scale, and in proper

able pork later on in the year.
Skim milk is often thought of as
a waste product with little nutritive
value, but the experiment stations and
practical farmers have found out 9th
erwise. 1t is particularly valuable be-
cause it contains those elements that
build up the muscular tissue or lean
meat that is SO highly priced for
food. Not only does it produce veal
and pork and indirectly more milk,
but the chickens also like it and lay
more eggs when they have access
to it.
We do not always realize that the
COW is doing so much for us; that
while we consume large quantities OF
dairy products, the by-product back
on the farm is making other articles
of food for us, and so providing for
our future.
The amount of milk being consumed
annually is rapidly on the increase.
The consumers are becoming more
and more particular regarding the
sanitary qualities of their milk and
are ever demanding better article.
The farmer on the other hand finds
it difficult to make fair profit in pro-
ducing just ordinary milk. The con-
sumner is certainly justified in demand
ing good milk, but at the same time
it is necessary to remember that it
costs more to produce high grade ar
ticle than one of inferior grade. The
farmer will deliver a good grade Of
milk providing it is made worth
while to him. The consumer has the
matter in his own hands. Milk is
worth more. At the present time it
costs less than half as much, from a
nutritious standpoint, than does the
average of all other common articles.
