KEISI’ AT THE WELL EYE

Nine persons out of every ten, with

ii rindcr or anyother foreign sib- atance in’ the eye, will instantly he- gin to rub it with .i-ie hand while hunting for handkerchief with the other. This is all wrong. The right way is not to ru-i I-_‘e i-_.e wird the cinder in it, but to rub the other as vigorously as you like.

A few months ago I was riding on

the engine of 8 fast express, says a traveller. The engineer threw open the front window ei t-he cab, and 1 caught a cinder in my eye which gave me intense pain. I began to rub the eye desperately, when the engineer culled to me: _“Let that eye alone, and rub the other one." Y

Thinking he was chaiiing me, 1

only rubbed the harder.

"I know the doctors think they

know it all; but they don't, and ii .YOU Will let 'that eye alone and work on thc other one you will soon have the cinder out," shouted the en- ginecr.

I did as lie directed, and soon lelt

the cinder down near the.inner can- thus, and made ready to take it out.

“I.et it alone and keep at the well

cyc," again shouted the engineer.

I did so lor n. minute longer, and

then. looking into a small glass the enginrer handed mc. I saw the oilend- “T 0" my check, I have tried it many times since, always with suc- cess.

it comes from the nent and dryness iii the soil in connection with hot sunlight.. In the hotter and drier reg- ions it is often avoided by planting on the north sides ol hills. it is worse in sandy soils, in crowded beds in nurseries, and on raised parts of the beds. Artificial protection from the sun, low-headed trees which will shade themselves when young, plenty of humus in the soil, and watering in trying weather are the remedies.

We bought aZ40-egg incubator. one of the beet on the market. It was plllned in an outbull-ding for lack oi a more suit- able place the cellar being damp and dark. The weather changed suddenly one night. The north wind begagi to

had aa it would have been if the hatching process had been farther ad- vanced. We must confess that this i-ras caused 'by ignorance. While the . incubator had nothing to do with the unfortunate occurrence, we were later convinced that two machines holding 100 eggs each would have been easier ~ for ua. to manage in many diilerent ways, and would have given `hetter results after we had learned how to hatch chicks.

The next blunder was made with

an outdoor hrooder. No additional shelter was provided, The chicks got along very well while the weather was good, but when it was had they had to be kept in the brooder all the time. The brooder was overcrowded after the chicks began to grow, al- though there w-as less than hfalf of the number in it that it was intend- rd to hold. We were unable to venti- late the brooder sufficiently without leaving the door open i- little. Of course this caused the chicks to hud- dle together. Several were smothered to death, while others were badly stunted. They had_ no lice but they could not thrive for various reasons. Lack of exercice was one, Before an- other hatching season came around

we -had a broader house built.

This house, besides being a very

good place for young fchicks, is also suitable as nn incubator house, al- though we have not been obliged to use it for that purpose. It is equip- ned with .~ roof ventilator, and cov- ered outside with tarred sheathing which makes it vcrv snug. This sheathing is- n0t at all expensive. All of the windows are on the south side near the door, and fitted with wire screens made of hall-inch netting. This.is very convenient. When the voun-g chicks get well started and the woiitlier gets mild the windows .im left open part of the time. We be- llcve in plenty ol frrsh air as well as exercise for chicks, The floor is kept covered with clean litter, out straw, etc. We tind it ii good plan to Cover the broader floors with heavy paper.

In Scotland an experiment ill about robe tried in the way of improving the breed of the native sheep. The Commission which visited the islands some time ago to inquire into the matter. realized the necessity for tak- ing some steps in this direction, as it was found that the sheep pastured on the hills had deteriorated a good deal-not only through the over- crowding of the scattalds, but through in-breeding.

The problem that had to he faced

was now to improve the breed with- out spoiling the wool, which has long been famed for the ilnenesg of its tex- ture. After careful inquiry it has been decided to try the experiment of crossing the Shetland breed with cer- tain selectod English breeds, and the result is being looked forward to with much interest.

SPROUTED OATB FOR HENS

(The Journal of Agriculture and

Horticulture) < =

After you have used sprouted oats

you may wonder how you manhged ta get eggs before. Hen are certain- ly very fond of.this forrm of green iced and it is a great egg producer. Oats can he easilv gprouted. In the winter time they are usually sprout- ed in the incubator cellar or in 8 fairly warm room where the tcmllcrh- eure can be maintained at about t5 degrees. The room is kept dark. ln fact this is the usual custom as imore rapid growth will take place in a dark room. The oats should first be soaked over night in luke-warm water. then spread them out about two inches thick on the iloor or Put them in pans or boxes, holes should bc mi-ide ln the bottoms or n. line nzesh wire can be llseil f0I‘ f-hh U0*-' toms. This allows all surplus water to drain away and will also provide some ventilation. Sometimethe box- es are arranged to lit in'di‘av~'ers on!! afbove the other. The oats should 'be moistened with iulre-warm Water every day and when the Spmlltli HTC lzwo or three inches long they should he lcd to the liiyinz hens.
