As B. & M. special stock train No. 75 was pulling into the yards here from the west it ran into a broken switch, which, caused two cars to leave the track, turning one car completely over and leaving the other on its side. The cattle in one car were able to get cut; -but the roof of the other had to be removed before they could be lib erated. Three of them were killed and a number crippled. After being liberated the cattle were crazed for the time and attempted to azack the persons present. The slow speed at which the train was going was all that saved a sericus wreck.

From 100 to 150 persons were killed last night in the most' disastrous wreck in the history of Michigan railroad'?. Two heavily loaded passenger trains on. the Wabash railroad collided head-on one mile east of Senaca, the second sta tion west of Adrian The west bound train, composed "of two cars leaded with immigrants and five other coaches, was smashed and burned. with the result of awful loss of life and fearful injuries to a majority of its passengers. The eastbound train. the Continental limited, suffered in scarcely less degree. The track in the vicinity cf the wreck is strewn with dead and dying. Many physicians from Detroit have gone to the scene. DETROIT. Nov. 29. When night fell over the scene cf last night's ca lamity on the Wabash railroad near Seneca, ilich., those who had been in vestigating the disaster had found nothing to alter the estimate of about eighty lives lost as a result of the collision. Superintendent George 1L Bums of the division on which the wreck occurred insists that the esti mates are too high. I do not con sider," said he, "that the total death list will exceed twenty." However, in supoprt cf the larger estimate it is pointed out that there are now fourteen passengers .known to be dead. The bodies of eight of these have been recovered and it is considered that the fragments of oth er bodies new in the morgue will ac count for may more than the twelve dead necessary to make up Superin tendent Burns' estimate of twenty. In addition to the comparatively few fragments recovered and sent to. the morgue, those who were early on the scene say that many more pieces were discovered which crumbled to powder while they were being remov ed. Superintendent Bums said to the Associated Press tonight that he was unable ta tell the exact number of Italian immigrants aboard train No. 13. but thought that there were not more rfrar, fifty. Passengers on the train and a number of those who were early on the scene dispute this and say the number was nearer eigh ty. Superintendent Bums has receiv ed no report as yet from Ticket Col lector Omes of train No. 12. who prob ably snows nearer than anrf one else the number of Italians in the cars. The official list cf the dead given ta the local papers shows the names of but tea dead and ferry-eight injur ed, but Detroit newspaper men. who were at the- scene of the wreck and talked with survivors of both trains, say that the official list does not bear out the statements of the passengers nor evidence of loss of life which they witnessed at the spot, where the accident occurred. The Free Press tomorrow will say that the loss of life was. in round numbers, 100, and that the statements made by the Italian immigrants -on train No. 13 Dear out this claim. Tne Sosar Tariff.

The supply of colts ia about what it was before horses gat so cheap. The present supply of ma?ketable horses Is considerably short cf former 'years; for whesr the prices" of horses fell so low. fewer colts were raised for two or three years and that has shortened the present supply. Except a few cases of distemper, no disease prevails aad the condition of horses is gcod. John W. Bracker. Calumet County. Wb-ur About one-fourth of our faraiers raise colts, but not every year; perhaps one-half cf that quarter raise eolta every i.ise i jsa i . atm we have Basra --year-old "colts than we had ia ISM. We also have some three year-oids possibly half as many as our stock of two-year-olds. They are meetly road sters weighing about' L100 pounds on the average. Draft horses are most In demand aad we have now some, heavy Percherons- and Clydes. The supply cf horses r are ready for market la. not as large as in previous" years,, thrm-ri there are always some horses for sale. Horses are generally healthy and in good conditicn. J. E. Gray. Louisa County. Iowa: Relative to the supply of horses in our neighborhood, would say almost every farmer raises colts of seme kind, mostly draft colts, say about three fourths of them. There are also some roadsters and a pwn number of coach i horses: Horses of marketable condi-'j tion are scarce and command good ' prices H30 to S200 a head at home. A light attack of distemper and pink eye is affecting the horses on some farms; otherwise condition of horses is good. Farmers' Review. mt Baa American manufacturers are evi dently quite as busy in 130i as they were in 1300. At least this is a reason able conclusion from an examination of the figures of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, which "show that the to tal imparts of manufacturers mate rials in the nine months ending with September. 13QL were greater in value than those of the corresponding j months of last year, although aa analysis of the- imports, article by ar ticle, shows thr is many cases the prices per unit of quantity harve de creased. Thi3- decrease in price is so strongly marked that ia many cases while the figures of value show a de crease la the nine months of 190L as compared with those of 1300, the ng ures of" quantity for the same period, show an increase. For instance, im ports of Tr-ff-t rubber when measured by value show a slight redaction la ri301 as comjiared with 130, 'while the quantity imported in 1301 shows an increase of more Th- 5,000,000 peends 33 compared with the same months cf ' 1300. Pis- tin. used in man-actaring imports in the nine months of 1301 compared-with those of 1300 were: For 13QL $221,453354: for 1300, $21713.372; while in the month of September alone the figures of the month in 1301 ! are $22,725,225. againsc $15,505,350 in I September 1300 a marked increase.

For the last ten years enly aboat 1 per cenr cf the potato 1 supplies have been imported, and these I have, come mainly from the cnannei Islands. During tne last tnree years , the supplies of foreign potatoes on the English market have increased to: 3 per cent. The yield per acre, as well as the total yields of potatoes in Great Britain and Ireland, will prove cf in terest to American farmers. Hence we reproduce the following table from ar English source: Tons per Years acre.
