IL the Cows Are Wen Protected and
Cared For 1t Pays.
There is always demand for extra
good milk. We are in favor of selling
milk when from five to eight cents per
quart can be obtained. In the suburbs
that is not high price because the own
er of mich COWS have to pay high for
all the feed they buy. 1t requires much
bran, shorts and linseed meal to keep
the cows to their milk. That is to say,
such cows as come fresh in December
and succeeding months. The shelter
has to be closely watched and the stalls
we'll Uttered and water has to be tenn
pered before giving it to the cows OF
they will not drink it. We again re-
mind our readers that it is not good
practice to wash the cows bags. II
makes the skin tender and is apt to
crack the teats, which by the necessary
milking twice a day are hard to heal
up. Now, no sensible person will i'm
agine that we oppose warm water for
wash absolutely necessary, but when
q soft brush and a clean soft cloth can
do the work I use no water.
Jersey cows are not of the kind to
pour out great quantity of milk for
mess; but most people of experience
know that their milk is very rich, con-
tanning ofttimes twice as much cream
as that of ordinary stock, hence their
milk should bring an extra price be-
cause it is worth it.
Many people give larger rations than
common so soon as they notice that the
COW is springing bag. For young
cow liberal feeding may be allowed, but
the older cows seldom develop larger
udders nor is it desirable. Our expert
ence teaches that high feeding up to
the time of calving is very dangerous,
because it increases the parturition
fever, more or less of which is always to
be expected. Hence, we counsel to with
draw the feed of the usual rations one
third, and when the udder is much dis
tended, even more than that. After SO
or 48 hours, if the COW is ready to eat,
commence to increase the feed and in
a few days thereafter you may give her
all the feed she can assimilate, and you
will find the flow of milk correspond
ingly creased.-Charles W. Murtfeldt

ARC LIGHT ON THE EYES.
blue and Gray Optics Are Said to Be
Most Susceptible to Injury.

blue and Gray Optics Are Said to Be
Most Susceptible to Injury.
One effect of the advent of the X
ray has been to direct closer attention
to the influence of the electric light
on the eyesight. It has recently been
stated that sailors suffer much in their
eyesight from the brilliant electric
lights used on shipboard. Gray and
blue eyes are the most subject to in
jury, not being heavily charged with
pigments. The men who work the
searchlights already wear dark blue
glasses, but it is found that these only
mitigate the intensity of the light,
and do not absorb the source of the
trouble, the ultraviolet rays. These
rays, however, can be intercepted by
goggles or screens of uranium or yellow
glass, and with these, it is understood,
the sailors of the French navy are soon
to be provided.
Another interesting case bearing on
this subject is reported from British
war ship. It seems that two stokers on
the ship, having little spare time, be-
came engrossed in the operation of an
electric drill, which was burning out
holes in hardened steel plate. Both
men declared they only watched the arc
for about three minutes, and at the time
felt no i'll effects, except that Gil objects
appeared to be of deep gold color. At
night, however, both men were aroused
by intense pain and partial blindness
for the time being, but both recovered
quickly after treatment. The electric
drill acts by fusing hole through the
steel, and the intensity of the light is
greatly increased by the rays of light
thrown off by the molten metal. The
fact. too, that the work is carried on
chiefly in the daylight is apt to deceive
the casual onlooker as to the degree of
,brilIiancy of the light, and it is not
until the after effects begin to assert
themselves that he is aware OF any
thing out of the common. Dark glasses
are now used by all the men on the cleo
trio drilling shifts. A singular feature
OF this affection is that it is analogous
to snow or desert blindness, and, as in
them, the pernicious effects of the cleo
trio light are probably due to the ultra,
violet rays of the spectrum.-Chicagc

Our experience with cherry trees is
that they do not require cultivation.
Those we had in the garden were al
ways more liable to rot and to be af-
fected by insects than the trees that
stood in dry places and surrounded by
grass. 1t may be that it is the extra
moisture in the cultivated soil that pre-
disposes cherries to rot, or it may be the
manure annually applied to the garden
and to which the cherry tree roots
helped themselves freely. The cherry
tree does not do well with wet feet.
On high, dry land its roots will run
deeply enough to find all the moisture
it needs, and on such land in grass is
the best to plant cherries for profitable
fruiting Cultivation.

Earth Moves Faster in winter.

Tt is an interesting fact that the earth
does not travel at the same rate in all
parts of its journey through space. Its
orbit being elliptieal, it must at some
time approach nearer to the sun than
at others, and will take less time in
moving through one part of its path
than through another. In winter the
earth is nearer the sun than in summer,
and moves through space more rapidly.
