Rapidly Recovering from Accident Which
Threatened Loss of an Eye.


Much anxiety was aroused in this
city last Wednesday, over an acct
dent which inflicted painful burns
upon DIR. Thomas Finn and that
came near running the usefulness OF
one of his eyes. Drs. Chadbour n
and Finn were associated in treat
ing patient north of Delhi on the
night in question. and the young
man as one of the preparations UNI
screwed the cap of a small enclosed
flask of carbolic acid and proceeded
to loosen the ground stopper of the
same. when the gases in the bottle
let go and blew the stopper and
acid directly into the eyes of the
operator. Quick work was made of
giving the injured cuticle and eyes
treatment with alcohol by both doc
tors, and as precaution against the
possible injury of the eye which was
worst affected, DIR. Finn went to
Mankato by the evenings North.
western train and had a thorough
examination made by DIR. James,
the eye specialist. He returned the
following day, and while it will take
a few days before he will be able te
resume his practice, all danger OF
permanent bad effect has been re
moved.

backed up by achievements made by
Mr.. Henry on his own farm and the
testimony of other successful farm

Henry had met in the course of his

enthusiast on ensilage. and it was
worth while to notice the close ques-

the best farmers in this vicinity
along these points. For instance,
he was asked what he would do if he
were told that none of the clover
sowu in this vicinity last year had
made a stand. The answer came
back quickly, sow more clover this
spring. To enforce his advice, he
testified that he sowed over seventy
bushels of clover last spring and
none of it came up; but that he had
bought nearly double that amount
