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.

the commonest trouble with nursery 5
stock. it comes as a dead strip on .ti
tlic southwest side-the three 0'- n

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.

If the temperature in the egg ~"ohani-

ago bv costly experience. 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-

dark. The weather changed suddenly

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

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*-'

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
