BLIND READ BY X RAYS.

Results of the New Light.

Experiments In boston show Wonderful
Results of the New Light.
1t seems not altogether improba-
BILE that in the investigation of the
y rays there has been discovered an
extra sense, or fifth sense, for the.
blind, and, if for the blind, then
possibly another, or a sixth sense,
for those who csn see. For a few
weeks great variety of experiments
have been carried on at the Boston
University Medical school with DR..
James r. Cooke, the results of which
have been most wonderful.
The doctor is an eminent physi-
clan, being a graduate of both the
. Boston University Medical school
and the Harvard Medical school, an
expert in psychology and hypno-
tism, and, having become blind from
the very earliest infancy, his facul-
ties and senses had been trained to
the finest point.
Two evenings have been devoted to
tests with Dr.. Cooke, and from them
it is believed by some of those who
witnessed them that it is possible
by means of the Y ray to so trair
the blind in mental perception thai
they can distinguish mentally thu
very letters upon screen.
The experiments which have beer
already made have been demonstrat
ed that letters cut out of foil ant
pasted on paper can be distinguish
ed and identified by DR.. Cooke will
unvarying accuracy and without ap
parent effort on his part.

Four.Ways of Feeding Corn.

The Vermont experiment station
has reported it's test of feeding the
corn crop to milk COWS to deter
mine the best method of preserving
the corn plant for winter use.
Four methods were trie': L. The
whole plant was run through the
cutter into the silo. Tle ears were
husked, cribbed, dried, and ground
cob and all, and fed with the stalks,
that had been made into .i'age. ;.
The corn was cut aa.d Gu Il; n large
shocks, and befor, feeding ~ run
through a cutter, cars and al, +
The corn was husked from the fod.
der, ground with the COZ, ard fed
with the s.over that was cut as
needed.
Analysis showed that the less
from each method was practically
the same, except where the shocks
were left exposed as the winter
progressed the loss increased. II
the silage the ears lost more of their
value than in the shock or crib
Time and money spent husking and
grinding the ears was wasted, a;
better results were obtained wher
the ears were left On the stalks anc
all run through the cutter before
feeding. The sil7ge forms were
most relished by the COWS and tn
dairy product greatest.
The experiments confirm tn,
common opinion that for dairy COW
the corn crop in the form of silag
is more valuable than IN dry fodde
and meal. For steer-feeding ther
1 is some evidence going to show tina
steers fed OF shock corn run through
the cutter, ears and stalks, max
better growth than where the cor
is husked and the fodder and ear
or meal ted separately.
