Mrs. Muir was blinded nearly ten years ago when a doctor accidentally dropped some chloroform into her eyes during a minor operation, burning the corneas. Another woman, almost blind and incurably so, offered the . healthy parts of her own eyes so Mrs. Muir might see again. Mrs, Muir appeared before the American College of Surgeon*, so the members could see what may be done In the field of "eye grafting."

Bjr R. H. ftee'd. Agricultural Engineer, Gpllege of Agriculture. University of Illinois.-- \VNU Service..' There hover lias been a year when It has been more essenflal that farmers make the best use of every bit of feed--on their farms, and for this rea son thousands of producers are turning to both upright and trench"1 silos as a means of conserving their drouth Sud ehinch%ig damaged corn crop Hits fall. • • • • y. •» ' \Vhile most farmers,' who are planning to harvest at feast- a part of their, Vofiti in' the form of silage, hope to use their own old silftge cutters, of to hire tiittjers ^'roiiv their neighbors, rriany may be "forced to purchase new machines. To such farmers, it is suggested that they consider the purchase of a machine that will cut and elevate hay as well ad silage. Ordinary silage cutters will ttot ctif ai}d elwate hay satisfactorily* but most hay.-.choppers-'will cut and elevate silage. By purchasing a dual-purpose cutter, the farmer, will hoJd down his machinery investment and reduce the unit cost required In operating two machines. In fact, one of the principal objections to farm machines in the psjpt has been that many of them could be used for only one operation and their usefulness was thereby limited to a few days1 or a few weeks each year. The newer cutters that will make silage as well as cut and elevate hay into the barn tend to eliminate this former criticism. Returns on a recent questionnaire sent- to farmers indicate the growing practice of chopping and storing hay. The practice eliminates the need for -work In the hot, dusty mow at haymaking time and makes for more rap- Id harvesting. The chopped hay consumes less barn space, is easier to handle when fed and is not wasted as lhuch by the lire stock as In t^e case *f long hay. FOR SALE FOR SALE--Potatoes, home grown, 40c bu. M- P.

Thomas of the Ohio experiment station. It is readily spread by threshing machines. Loose^smut Is cohtrolled by hot water treatment, vtfhich requires that seed whfeat be soaked at room temperature for sii1 hours In loose bags containing about a peck of grain. After draining, the bags are immersed in water at 1*20 degrees F. for two minutes and then transferred to «r second water bath at 129 degrees for ten minutes. After this the grain is spread to dry. Stinking smut, or bunt, causes greater loss titan loose smut bat Is easier to, control, Thomas says. With each bushel of seed wheat Is mixed three ounces of copper carbonate dust. In order that each fraln will become coated with the dust th« wheat la placed In a discarded churn or barrel and then "churned" orer several times.

Alp, Poultry Extension SpeoialUC Cniversity ' of Illinois.--WNU Service, Eight common errors are. largely responsible for the wormy, nonlaying pullets found atnonjj millions of farm chickens along' in the fall of each year. During the suimner mouths nmny farmers are not "egg conscious," and consequently ^neglect the care of the . birds when they, may-'need it 'most, jvs a result of this neglect, .the pullets are so stunted, tha they fail to produce the number eggs that might ordinarily be expected of them. Pills and worm capsules ad ministered as c'qre-ails seldom give satisfactory results, in these cases, and the poultryman finds that efforts to remedy the mistakes are expensive, difficult' and generally dlsflppolr.ting., Among the common mistakes listed are; Empty feeders, empty water troughs, dirty brooder houses without roosts, lice and mites in the brooder house, old contaminated range, outdoor feeders seldom moved, no dean shade provided and sick birds allowed to remain in the flock. Probably the greatest error In poultry management, as far as feeding is concerned, is failure to use the type of feeder most satisfactory for range { conditions and growing pullets. The outdoor feeder should be larger than that used in the brooder house and so constructed that It will not only prevent waste and contamination of the feed, but will also keep the contents dry. For each brooder house there should be at least two good-sized feeders. Many poultrymen use one for the grain and the other* for the mash. Failure to move the feed hoppera. is also a common error. Unless the feeder is placed on a wire platform, the ground around it will soon become badly contaminated with poultry manure, and the chances of chickens picking up disease and parasites are increased greatly. Like the feed, the water should be protected from contamination. Cleanliness around the drinking trough is extremely Important. A good plan 18 to place the trough on a low, wire platform so that the birds can not scratch in the mud caused by spilled water. Furthermore, the troughs should be filled often and regularly so that there is always plenty of water at all times. StrMariraiftg Streamlining ia based on the law of aerodynamics, discovery of which reversed preconceived Ideas of air reiistance to solids. Formerly it was believed that a sharp-pointed object would pass more rapidly through air. Aerodynamics has demonstrated that a blunt-nosed object with a sharp end pointing backward creates less air resistance. When a sharp point cleaves the air, air currents are thrust out and Immediately return to drag at the Bjoving object from , behind. A blunt nose shoves the air. atiide gently and allows it to stream along the sides of the moving object and resume its course at the rear without any drag.,, Women of Oberammergau , The women of Oberaipmergau" wear long, full, red, black or-multi-colored skirts and bodices, with kerchiefs or embroidered scarfs around their necks, crossed in front.

This desolate island and a number of others, such as Hoste, Yendegala, Canakus and Lennox, all near Cape Horn, form the political district of Navarlno, Chile's outpost of civilization. North of these islands flows Beagle channel, made famous by Darwin's studies and the voyage of the British ship Beagle. Supplement Forage Feed to Pep Up Laying Hens When hens are forced t6 forage for their feed they get less to eat Since eggs are dependent upon .feed, and less feed is eaten, naturally fewer eggs are produced. Furthermore, the hens are not able to keep in such good condition of flesh and a molt is. likely to result. As the sun is hdt, thir birds will stick pretty cioae to the* shade and will not look very far for food--they will get only enough to keep themselves going. It ts Just at essential to keep an egg-laying mash before them now as it was in the winter if eggs are to bf expected.' A grain ration, of cours£, is fed in addition--about six to seven pounds per 100 birds per day. If heiis are not In good condition of flesh, a pound or two more per 100 should be fed.

This m&ins that the stack In the Ice house is constantly opened to remove cakes and the top layer of insulating material is being worked over constantly. This results In fairly rapid melting. To reduce such lofeses to a minimum, the cakes should be removed in regular order, and an entire tier should be used before beginning on the one below. The Insulating material should be disturbed as little as possible and always put back in place after ice has been removed. A good practice, also, Is to press down the sawdust thoroughly around the edges at least once a week, Bust-Resisting Wheat" Two or three strains of wheat which will resist the disease of rust will be available within two years, according to a recent statement of the National Research Council of Canada. For some years scientists have been pitting their wits against rust, which attacks the growing plant and under certain conditions results In heavy loss. The problem has been not only to produce a type of wheat that would resist rust but to embody qualities responsible for the high standards.
