BLIND TAUGHT FARM
Two New York Boys Learn Art
in Clinton Park.
One Of Them Becomes SO Expert Can
Separate Lettuce and Carrot
Seeds and Tell Color Of
Different Flowers.

New York,-The Children's Farm
School in De Witt Clinton Park has
taught two blind boys to raise crops
equal In every respect to those of the
children who can see. In fact, Mrs
Henry Parsons, In charge of the
school. and Mr.. Brady, the boys teach.
er, insist that in the matter of beets
and carrots the blind children's work
was superior.
The subjects of the experiment are
Carl and Peter, each 13 years old and
strong boys for their years. Peter is
totally blind and has to be led every
where. Carl, who can't distinguish
anything more than four inches away
from his eyes, has just enough vision
so that he can go and fill Peters wa.
tering pot.
Carls sister used to bring him to
the park playground. Leaving him on
bench she would run off to the
swings, and the boy would sit there
listening to the other children play
ing. A gymnasium instructor saw
Carl sitting there day after day and
tried to think of some occupation for
him. Finally the instructor suggest
ed that plot in the school garden be
given to the boy Then one day Carl
came bringing Peter, and Mrs. Par
sons decided to try the experiment of
teaching the blind gardening for
pleasure If not for profit.
On June 10 they began teaching
Peter and Carl to raise beans, beets,
carrots, onions, radishes. lettuce and
corn, Just as the other children do.
A wooden fence was built around
Peters plot, along which cords were
strung to serve as guides to the five
rows Of Crops" which were to be
planted. Feeling these and measur-
ing the distances by his fingers and
arm Peter drew his miniature burrows
and dropped or sprinkled his seeds.
In his first attempt to cover the seeds
he knocked the rows askew, but then
by placing his hand on that of his
teacher while he did a row in the
right way Peter mastered that art.
No grown-up farmer would like to
weed with his eyes shut, but that is
what both Peter and Carl had learned
to do. They were taken to other chill
dren's plots, allowed to feel the differ
ent seedlings as they appeared, and so
taught to distinguish the tiny plants
from weeds. Hand hoes not more
than a foot long were made for them.
BY keeping their left hand fingers a
few inches ahead Of the blade they
did their hoeing without cutting down
the vegetables.
Several weeks ago came the time
for the first harvesting on the Chill
dren's Farm, which raises two rounds
of crops in summer AS radishes,
beets and beans approached maturity
the excitement among the small far

mers waxed so tense that the distinc-
tion between meum and tuum was
frequently lost to view and the boy
whose beans matured early was like
ly to find himself minus the beans.
Even the observation plots in charge
of the instructors were robbed of their
prize products. But to the credit of
the farm be 1t said that while the de-
struction walked around them the

turbed.
This harvesting was followed by
the second planting. In this Peter
and Carl showed such marked i'm
provement that Mrs. Parsons believes
that gardening in some of its branches
can be made an employment for the
blind. The sowing Of beets and car
rots' by the blind boys was the best
done on the farm.
In few weeks Peter and Carl have
learned to distinguish the different
seeds entirely by feeling Peter has

HAVE ANTIDOTE FOR LOCKJAW
Physicians Declare They Have Mas
tered This Dreaded Scourge
of Mankind.
G. M. WOOD.

The popular belief that a wound
from treading on rusty nail is very
likely to cause tetanus is quite correct.
This is not because 1t is nail or Is
rusty, but because by lying on the
ground it has become infected with
the germs of lockjaw Moreover as
the punctured wound caused by the
nail bleeds but little and this blood
dries up and excludes the air, the most
favorable conditions for the develop
ment of tetanus exist, for, as Kitasato
the Japanese bacteriologist, proved
the absence of oxygen is most favor
able for the growth Of the germ.
The germ itself looks very much
like tack, according to a writer in
Harper's Monthly; 1t is so virulent
that its toxin in doses of 1900, ,000th OF
teaspoonful will kill mouse. 1t has
been found by experiment that the
poison is carried up to the spinal cord
not by the absorbents nor the blood
vessels, as are other poisons, but
through the motor nerves.
Fortunately an anti-poison or anti
dote has been developed, but so
prompt is the action of the poison that
in an animal two minutes after the in
lection of fatal dose of the poison
twice as much of the remedy is re-
quired as If it had been administered
with the poison; after eight minutes
ten times the amount and for ninety
minutes forty times the original
amount is necessary. This antitoxin
is entirely harmless.
AS result of antiseptic methods
lockjaw is now almost unknown ex-
cept after neglected wounds, instead
of being frequent as 1t formerly was.
When it is feared the antitoxin is used
as a preventive and when 1t has de-
veloped as cure. In animals, for ma
turally horses suffer enormously more
fequently than man, the same anti
toxin is used. In 1853 horses that had
operations performed on them, but
were protected by the antitoxin, not
one developed tetanus, whereas Of
eight cases unprotected by the anti
toxin five developed tetanus.
