The Corn Shredder Does the
Work.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
| tried the plan of having my
corn shredded last fall and find
it all right. The farmers around
here said that shredding wouldn't
do" but l thought 1t would; so
| cut our corn and shocked it in
the field, letting it sta-d until
about November 9Th, as that was
the time that the shredder came
TO shred We hauled direct from
field to the shredder. The ma
chine blew the stover back in the
ebay NOV" OF the barn and put
the corn in the crib. 1t certainly
worked fine.
You just ought to have seen
the good old farmers around here
fioching in TO see it work. AS
they left they always said. "That
is the way. to do it," aud 81 wish
my barn was fixed 80 l could
have my corn shredded that way
too"
! believe this is the best way
to put our corn away, excepting
the silo, which | regard as the
best way OF all for taking care Of
and getting the most out of our
corn crop. The stover makes fine
cattle feed. Had it not been for
our shredding last fail we could
not bave carried as many cattle
through the winter as we did
We fed the peavine hay to the
mules and horses and the stover
To the cattle.
am glad to say that farmers
in this section are beginning TO
see the main ing-that is, more
and better cattle. They are breed
ing their cows to thoroughbred
sires, and are raising more cattle
than in the past, which is a long
step toward improved farming.
Another good thing is, that the
farmers are beginning to organize
and protect themselves against
the spectators and cotton bears
There are several local unions uf
the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union OF America
around here, and they have sew
eral organizers at work. The
Union is sweeping the other
Southern States, and North Car
olina must not be behind in this
great industrial moFement. We
have just had the honor Of hav,
ing the chairman OF the Nationa
| Executive Committee visit us -
He is a olive wire" in the grea
cause which he represents There
are several counties organic ID
but we have no State organiz .
ton as yet, and we can never d,
much until we do get State or
ganization. If ever the organize
gets in your community, hell
him all you can, as we want
State organization as soon as pos
sible.

With that Rinkey gets up and beckons us over
into the far
The lord sabb,' says he, rollin' his eyes at the
bed room door, the lord sahib desire that none
should come He is in great anger"
What's he grouchy about?" says l.
THE lord sahib, says he, will destroy to death
poor Ringhi Singh if he reveals"
Destroy to death is good, says l; but it don't
sound convincin l think we're bein' strung.
Pinckney has the same idea, so gets good grip
on Rinkeys neck.
Come off, says 1. LAS a liar you're too am
bilious. You tell what's the matter with your
boss, I'll do things to you thatll make bein de-
stroyed to death seem like faln on feather bed!'
And it come, quick. Yes, sahib," says he. 1T
is that there has been lost beyond finding the lord
sahibs glorious eye
Sizzlin' sistersl Another pane gone!" says l.
This must be my eye retrievin day, for sure"
But Pinckney takes it mighty serious. He says
that the dinner at the club don't count for much
but that the other affair can't be sdetracked easy
1t seems that the girl has lived through one throw
down, when the Teller skipped off to Europe just as
the tie-up to be posted, and it wouldn't do to
give her second scare of the same kind.
Rinkey mighty reluctant about goin' into de-
tails, but gets of him by degrees that the
lord sahb has habit, when he's locked up alone, of
unscrewin' the fake lamp and putin it away in a
box full of cotton battin'.
Always in great secret says Rinkey; for the
lord sahb would not disclose. But l have seen,

presence of the blind spot does not indicate diseased
eyes 1t simply marks the point where the optic
nerve enters the eyeba, which point is, therefore,
not provided with the necessary visual end organs
of sight, known rods and cones.
The presence of the yellow spot, with it's small
central shadowy dot point of most intense vision,
may be demonstrated as follows: Close the eyes for
few seconds and then look through fiat sided
bottle of chrome alum solution at brightly lighted
surface the clear sky. In the blue green solution
colored spot will be seen, which corresponds
to the yellow spot. The light that comes through
the chrome alum solution is chiefly mixture of
red, green, and blue. The pigment of the yellow
spot absorbs portion of the blue and the green and
transmits the rest, coored mixture, to the
visual organs behind the spot.
Color blindness, or the inability to distinguish
certain colors, is by means rare. Incomplete
color blindness is when person cannot distinguish
of the fundamental colors, red, green, violet
If person is told to select colors resembling violet,
he will, if red blind, usually select blues well
violets If he is green blind he will select green
gray, with possibly blues and violets of the
brightest shades Violet blindness is
To red blind person the American flag appears
to have green and white stripes, while the white
stars appear on violet field To green blind per-
the stripes have the proper colors, but the field
for the stars is red violet To violet blind person
the stripes normal, but the stars appear to be
set in dark brownsh gray field. To person who
is totally color blind the blue of the flag appears
light yelowsh brown, while the red stripes seem to
be darker brown.

you have blue eyes, haven't you, Mr. Butters?"
That's right says Snick
And Sir Hunters are brown. 1t will never do,
says he.
''Ah, what's the odds at night" says 1. Maybe
the girls color blind, anyway"
No says Pnckney, Sir Hunter would never
do it. Now, if you only knew of some one with "a
friend l got on my repertoire. It's either his or
none. You send Rinkey in to ask Twiggle if
blue won't do pinch.
Mr.. Rinkey didn't like the sound of that program
a bit, and he goes to clawin' around my knees,
begin me not to send him in to the lord sahib.
"G'wanl' says l, pushin' him off. You make
me feel as if l was bein' measured for pair OF
leggin's. Skiddo!
As gives him a shove my finger catches in the
white stuff he has around his head, and it begins
to unwind. I'd peeled off about yard, when out
rolls somethn shiny that Snick spots and makes
grab for
He1o!" says he. What's this?"
1t was the stray brown all right. That kipllng
Negro has had it slowed away all the time. Well
say there lively doins that for the next
few minutes; tryin' to get strange hold on
Rinkey, and him doin' his best to jump through IA
window, chairs ben knocked over, Snick hoppn
around tryin' to help, and Pinckney explainin' TO
Sir Hunter through the keyhole what it was ali
about.
When it was through we held a court of inquiry
And what do you guess? That smoked Chnaman
had swiped it on purpose, thinkn if he wore it on
the back of his head he could see behind him
Wouldn't that grind you?
But it all comes out happy. Sir Hunter was
little late for dinner, but he shows UP two eyed be-
fore the girl makes hit with her folks and has
gagged Snck to give him private lessons on how to
make a fake optic behave like the real goods.

TIME average length of new born infants is about
Ioa inches for boys and I95 inches for girls.
The height at the end of each year usually
follows a certain ratio based on the height at the
end of the preceding year. Thus at the end of the
first year the infant should have increased in height
two-fths of it's length at birth; at the end of it's
second year it should have added one-seventh of
its previous height at the end of the third year,
one-twelfth; at the end of the fourth, one-four
tenth; at the end of the fifth oneffteenth at the
end of the sixth, one-eighteenth etc.
Thus if an infant is inches in length at BIRTH
it should at the end of the first year 7.65
inches; at the end of the second, $40 inches; at
the end of the third, 34.23 inches; at the end of
the fourth, 366S inches; at the end of the fifth,
80 I25 inches at the end of the SIXTH ALA inches
For the next six eight years the annual growth is
about inches year, followed during the period
of puberty by rapid growth, after which the growth
is much slower until the age of twenty-five is reached.
In many there slight increase until the age
of fifty, after which the height gradually decreases.
The average weight of new born infants is OBS
pounds. One year after birth the average weight
is about pounds. In six years the weight has
doubled. At the age of nineteen years the average
weight is about the the weight of old age.
The maximum weight of the male is usually attained
at the age of forty; of the female at about forty
FIVE A man should weigh 20 pounds for each foot
of his height; woman, pounds for each foot.
Thus man five feet nine inches high should weigh
16I pounds woman five feet six inches high
should weigh 1872 pounds.
At birth the length of the head is about half that

which was an evil thing-oh, very evil! Tonight it
done before; but when it time for the re-
turn alas! the box down side up the floor and
the glorious eye not anywhere. Search! We
look into everything under all things. Then comes
a great rage on the lord sahb, and be sore from it
in many places
eh?' says l. We'll, Pnckney, what now?'
Why" says he, we've simply got to get sub
stitute eye. I'll wait here while you go out and
buy another.
Say, Pinckney," says, if you was goin' down
Broadway at eight thirty M, shoppin for glass
eyes, where'd you hit first Would you try china
store, gent furnishin' placer?
Don't they have them at drug stores! says
Pinckney.
:" never seen any glass eye counters in the ones
go to-" says l. And then, right in the midst of
"Oh, splash" says l. " Pinckney, if anyone asks
you don't let what hickory head am. Why,
loan of over night, just well as not"
"You" says Pinckney, lookn wild.
Sure thing, says l. It's beaut too Can't
But where i is it, says Pinckney
Its with Snick Buffers says 1. He's usn
it, l expect. Fact is, it was built for Snck, but
to do to foreclose is say the word. Come on. Just
as find Snick you can run back and fix
up Sir Hunter good as new"
DO YOU think you can find him?" saws Pinckney
We've got to find him., says I. I'm gettin
interested in this game"
Snick was holdin down chair in the smolin
room at the Gilsey He grins when he sees me-
but when puts it up to him about calm in the
loose lens for over mig his jaw drops.
Just my luck" says he. Here I've got bill
board seats for the Casino and goin to take the
girl to the show as soon as she get off. y
Sorry, Snck," says 1, but this is desperate
case Won't she stand for the green curtain?''
"S-s-sh!'' says he. "She don't know thing
about that; III have to call it off Give me two
minutes, will your"
That was Snick all over-losin' out just as easy
as some folks wins. When he comes back, though,
and tells him what's doin', he says he'd like to
know just where the lamp goin', so he could be
around after it in the mornin
Sure" says l. Bring it along up with you,
then there won't be any chance of our losn
it."
So all three of goes back to the 4
hotel. Pinckney want sayin' word actin E
like he was kind of dazed, but watchin IL
Snick all the time. AS gets into the -
elevator he pulls me by the sleeve and
whispers:
Il say, Shorty, which one is it,"
The south one," says |.
1t wasn't till we got clear into Sir Hun -
ters reception room, under the light, that
Pinckney heaves up something else.
"Oh, say!' says he starin' at Snick beg -
pardon for mentioning it, but yours is a-er

attained on complete development, average of
4.37 inches. By the end of the first year the length
is 600 inches and by the end of the second is o81
inches This growth of nearly inches in two years
is greater than all the subsequent growth of the head
The average length of the adult head is little less
than nine inches, or from one-sixth to one-eighth
the entire length of the body
The back at birth has only one-thrd its subse-
quent length the ne-fourth, the leg one-ffth.
The infants foot is about long its head-one-
seventh of it's entire body, while the hand is
ninth as long the entire body. After the second
year the head grows more slowly while the limbs
grow rapidly.
The blood of the infant circuates through the
entire body in seconds, while in the adult 22
seconds are required The heart beats decrease
from 1874 to minute by the second year, and
to 90 in the tenth year, while the respiration de-
from IS during the first to % in the second
year and to 26 in the fifth.
A Blind Spot in the Eye
A interesting experiment to prove the presence of
n the blind spotin aperson seye may beperformed
without difficulty. Draw a circular figure about
half an inch in diameter and color it black At
distance of about three inches from the center of
this figure draw a small star. Hold the figures
that the star is directly in front of eye while the
circle is in front of the other If the star is held in
front of the left eye close the right eye, and look
steadily at the star, moving the paper until
point is reached where the circle disappears
To find the blind spot in the other eye, turn the
paper upside down and close e'other eye The
