GLEANINGS.

1t is claimed that oats or barley will
do better if relied after the plants are
three to six inches high. This is es.
pecially important if the weather is
warm and dry, causing too rapid up
ward growth. The roller bruising the
leaves gives the top needed check, and
promotes tillering at the roots. On
rich ground two or three stalks will
come up instead of one, but if the land
is too poor to sustain these, the roller
will be of less advantage. On rich
ground, to be rolled when the plants are
above the surface, 4 lighter seeding
should be sown.
Professor Henry says: | would urge
that our farmers give more oats to young
stock, colts as well as calves. There is
no food so easily attainable that will so
well correct acidity of the stomach and
keep the whole system in good order.
To those who wish to raise calves on very
little milk, | would say, use oats and
oil meal freely, and by studying the
wants of the calves you will be able to
raise fine animals on small allowance
of milk.
The United States Agricultural Re-
port says that hot water at a tempera
ture of 130 degrees Fahrenheit, seems to
be the best remedy for the cabbage
worms, where it can be conveniently ap-
piled. 1t may be boiling hot when it
goes into the watering can, as it will cool
before it falls upon the plants. If few
of the outside leaves get scorched, it
will do little harm, as the cabbages will
continue to grow from the heart.
The Kansas Farmer thinks deep work.
ing of growing corn ia not good. 1t
tears away roots that are needed to hurry
the growth of the corn, and it tends to
hasten evaporation. If ground is well
prepared for planting, the shallowest
working which win keep the surface
loose and destroy the weeds, is the best.
1t Is a mistake to run the teeth or
shOveIs away down where the roots
ought to enjoy absolute freedom.
All manures deposited by nature are
left on or near the surface. The whole
tendency of manure is to go down into
the soil rather than to rise from 1t.
There is probably very little If any loss
of nitrogen from evaporation of manure,
unless it is put in piles so as to ferment.
Rains and deWs return to the soil as
much ammonia III a year as is carried on
ia the atmosphere.

To Remove Foreign Bodies From the
Eve.

Before resorting to any metallic instru-
ment for this purpose, DIR. G. ID. Agnew
(American Practitioner, May, 1884
would advise you to use an instrument
made in the following manner: Take a
splinter of soft wood, pine or cedar, and
whittle it into the shape of probe,
making it about the length of an ordi-
nary dressing probe. Then take a small,
loose lock of cotton, and. laying it upon
your forefnger, place the pointed end
of the stick in the center of it. Then
turn the lock of cotton over the end OF
the stick, winding it round and round,
so as to maze it adhere firmly. If you
will look at the end of such probe with
a two inch lens you will see that it is
quite rongh, the fibers of cotton making
a file-liEe extremity, in the midst OF
which are little interstices. As the
material is soft, it will do no harm to the
cornea when brushed over its surface.
When ready to remove the foreign
body have the patient rest his head
against your chest, draw the upper lid
up with the forefnger of your lest hand,
and press the lower lid down With the
middle finger, and then delicately sweep
the surface in which the foreign body Is
embedded, with the end of the cotton
probe. When the foreign body is
lodged in the center of cornea, it is most
important not to break up the external
elastic lamina; for if you do, opacity
may follow, and the slightest opacity in
in the center of the cornea, will cause a
serious diminution in the sharpness OF
vision. scientific American.

add largely to the relief of society and of
its poor. This could be done best by dis
tricting community. town, or ward. and
a record could be kept of all persons and
their children entitled to relief, and OF
their ability to work, to which bure au all
having work or homes or places for chill
dren could also report.
There are many persons in every city,
village, and even in the country, who
have little jobs of work for both sexes.
who do not know where to find any per-
son to do it; and there are many poor
persons Especially in winter) in want of
employment. who do not know where to
obtain it. By means Of such an 'intelli-
gence office" both classes could be ac-
commodated, and in this way many poor
persons would be relieved from suffering
without destroying all their pride and self
respect by becoming ''charity" supports.
This method would weed oLt the able
bodied chronic pauper. relieve the tax
payer. while the benevolently inclined
would still have ample fields in which to
exercise their sympathies.
Should Congress (and it can) devote a
portion of the large unOccupied tracts of
land of the United States to the use OF
such of the deserving poor of the States
who are commonly supported by charity,
a great step would be made in the right
direction for the relief of such poor and
their families. who would then be in the
way to best help themselves and the
country by becoming self-supporting
This, accompanied by morality and INTEL
ligence. would greatly lessen the burden,
| as well as the evils. of absolute poverty
"For the poor shall never cease out ol
the land" and "If any will not work,
neither shall he eat"

Deterioated Eye-SIght.

The causes to which this deterlOra-
tiOn of eye-sight has been attributed are
alleged to be croSs-lights from opposite
windows, light shining directly on the
face, insufficient light, small types, and
to the position of the desk, forcing the
schola.: to bend over and bring the eyes
too close to the book or writing-paper,
etc., But, were all these defects rene
died the integrity of the eye would not
be restored not its deterioration pre-
vented. The chief causes of the evil
would still remain. These are the
colors of the paper and Ink. White
paper and black ink are running the eye
sight of all reading nations. The rays
of the sum-" says Lord Bacon, 'iare re-
fiected by white body, and are absorb
ed by black one." No one dissents
from this opinion; but, despite these
indications of nature and of philosophy,
we print our books and write our let
ters in diret opposition to the sugges-
tions of optical science.
When we read a book printed in the
existing mode, we do not see the letters
which. being black, are non-reflective.
The shapes reach the retina, but they are
not received by a spontaneous, direct
action of that organ. The white sur
face Of the paper is reflected, but the
letters are detected only by discrimi-
mating effort of the optic nerves. This
effort annoys the nerves, and when
long continued, exhausts their suscepti-
bilIty. The human eye cannot long sus-
tain the Broad glare of q white surface
without injury. The author Of "Span-
ish Vistas." says of Cartegena that
''blind people sesm to be numerous
there, fact which may be owing to the
excessive dazzle of the sunlight and the
absence Of verdure." Mr.. Seward, in
his tour around the world, observed
that sin Egypt ophthalmla is univer-
SAL" attributing it to the same ''exces-
sive dazzle,,' of the wide areas of white
sand; and the British soldiers, in the
late campaign in that country, exhibit
ed symptoms of the same disease. In
the Smithsonian Report for 1877 1t is
stated, in a paper on Color Blindness. :"
that M. Chevreul has produced IA, :
420 distinguishabIe tints of elementary
colors, from which the paper manufac-
turers could select colors more agreea-
bic to'the eye than the dazzling white,
so weakening and lacerating to the
nerves of that delicate organ"
