Camera Helps Save the Eye.

DR.. Walther Thorner, assistant at the
clinic of eye diseases at the Royal
Charity Hospital at Berlin, has recent
ly made a discovery of great import
auce In the domain Of ocular science,
ir. solving a problem that several prac-
utioners had hitherto studied, but with
Indifferent results. He has succeeded in
Thotographing the back of the eye and
in obtaining good Photographic repro
auctions. So writes ]. b. Van Brussel
Ia the Technical World Magazine.
His invention Is q large improve
raent upon the HelmhOltz eye specu-
ium, which permits only Of examining
the back of the eye, while now an
image Of it can be fixed. Owing to
this invention the delicate art OF the
oculist Is destined to enter a new
phase which will doubtless be the
starting point of interesting discover
les In the domain of ocular science.
The failure of all attempts made up
to the present to photograph the in
terror, and the back of the eye has
been due to the peculiar structure of
This organ. 1t is difficult, In fact, to
illuminate the eye sufficiently to OBJ
lain photograph of it; and even upon
employing a powerful source of light
The exposure Of the organ would take
too long and would occasion unendur-
able pain to the patient.

In early spring to pre-empt and occupy
the soil. The vines should be so spread
that they form q perfect matted row
with path from II to IS inches wide
on each side. If the rows have become
too close, part of the plants should be
cut out. This is best done now. 1t is
better to cultivate the soil so frequent
ly that the space between the rows will
never be covered with runners. The
soil should be loose and mellow between
the rows. Upon the same principle that
voad freezes harder than O plowed
field. a berry patch that is packed hard
will freeze much harder than ore which
is Kept mellow. A mulch of some kind
is of great Importance for protection.

will keep the plants from 'heaving."
Which is the result of alternate freez-

held back long enough in the spring to
escape the usual frosts. Marsh grass
is the best kind Of mulching. as 1t lies
closer than grain straw. but rye, wheat,

used, and SO have cornstalks and forest

Every successful farmer finds tnSt
he must assert his mastery in no uIs-
certain way over the weeds, these reb-
els Of the vegetable world, or they will
wolel havoc in his little domain and
eventually his undoing. The battle
with them must be fought increasingly
for they are constantly on the watch
to take advantage of every opportunity,
remarks n writer in American Guilt
vator. "We'll fight 1t out right here
IL II takes all summer" may we'll be
the threat of the farmer to the weed
crop.
The great difficulty Is that a great
many give up the fight with the weeds
altogether too soon. The first attacks
arc fierce and spirited enough, but they
soon grow Indifferent and abandoned
them altogether. Now, the fact is that
weeds are of great many different va
rieties. which seem to be designed to
terminate at different seasons, one spe-

occupying the ground as soon as their
predecessors have ripened their seeds.
The result is that wedding, vigorous at
first, but soon abandoned, leaves the
way open and unobstructed for the
later varieties to flourish unhampered,
and so they are never conquered or re-
duced. but their reign is more firmly
established from year to year.
Then, again, many who WELD the hoe
vigorously are altogether too careless
In their dealing with the weeds outside
Of the cultivated fields. allowing them
to flourish unrestrained about the ma
nure heap all summer and scatter their
seed broadcast upon 1t, to be advan-
tageously planted when 1t IS drawn out
and strevn upon the fields in the
spring.

Th> Man with Forty Ghosts.

master polished up, put on the finish

Corn Selection.

A steady increase in the number OF

In 1901. the fourth year OF the ex-
periment. but the first one in which
sufficiently detailed records were kept
TO SHOW the percentages only 80 per cent
of the plants bore more than one ear
In 1905 90 per cent bore more than one
ear, the highest number from a single
plant being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
good results as selection from the up
pcl ear. which Is doubtless due to the
fact that such lower ears are often
poorly developed. - Rhode Island Ex-

Frozen Milk.

In Sweden and Denmark has been
created "a new industry that deserves
notice. 1t consists in collecting at a
central station the milk from farms
within given radius, pasteurizing it at
about 10 degrees centlgrade, and then
freezing 1t at temperature of minus
10 degrees. The blocks of frozen milk
are placed in stout wooden casks hold
ing about double the volume of the
blocks and the extra space IS filed
with sterilized milk, after which the
casks are sealed Dramatically.
AS they are perfectly full and are
kept cool by the block of frozen milk,
which melts very slowly, and as shocks
of transportation are powerless TO
churn the milk into butter, 1t may thus
be preserved at least twenty days, so
that the Danes and Swedes are now
sending successfully to their neighbors
