THE FIELD OF VISION.
Even Persons With Normal Eyes Are
Partially Color Blind.

Even Persons With Normal Eyes Arc
Partially Color Blind.
The various tests for color blindness
have come into practical use in the ex-
animation Of railroad engineers and
the like, where the ability to distin-
guish colors is necessary, so that these
tests are no longer peculiar to the lab
oratory. But it is not generally known
outside the laboratory that everybody
Is partially color blind-that is, in GER
tain parts of the field of vision.
The most normal individual can see
all the colors only when he looks di-
rectly at them. If looked at from an
angle of about fifteen degrees red and
green can no longer be seen, but in
their places will appear shades Of vel
low or blue. This region Of the eye is
known as the yellow-blue zone. If the
color be moved still farther to the side
the yellow and blue will disappear and
only gray can be seen. This region is
known as the zone of complete color
blindness.
An interesting theory in regard to
these zones is that every normal eye
represents three stages of evolution.
The zone of complete color blindness
is the lowest stage and appears in
such animals as the frog. whose vi
sion is known as shadow vision. The
blue-yellow zone is one step higher in
the scale. although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, according
to this theory, a lack of development
beyond the early stage in the individ-
ual life.-Professor Poffenberger in
Strand Magazine.

Silaqe az Horse Feed.

1t is not entirely clear to prospective
silo purchasers that silage is an excel
lent ration for horses. economic in
character and wholesome in use. By
using good judgment the horse feeder
will make no error and will be better
Off financially. The Pennsylvania sta
tion gives the results of horse feeding
test where silage was compared with
hay and other forage:
'The horses fed silage as portion
Of their ration consumed less grain.
made their gains at lesser cost per
pound, were sleeker and better finish
ed than those fed on rations not con-
tanning silage."
In this test 1t was noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
Ave to twenty pounds per day. The
station recommended silage free from
mold and made from corn fairly well
matured. 1t also advised against feed.
ing horses large quantities of silage.
especially after coming in from heavy
work when they are in heated con.
dition.

TESTING COWS FOR ,
FAT PRODUCTION

The persistent milker-the COW which
keeps continually at it's the COW
which almost without exception will
produce the largest quantity of butter
fat per year and so be the most profita-
BILE. says the Kansas Farmer. 1t is not
unusual to find cows, particularly those
not of special dairy breeding, which
give good flow of milk two or three
months after freshening; then the flow
decreases rapidly. and the COW milks
possibly only FIVE or six months Of the
year. This Is a condition characters
tic Of cows not Of dairy breeding.
As rule, the dairy bred COW will
milk steadily through the year, de-
pending. Of course, upon the condition
Of feed and care. The COW first named
is almost without exception created on
the plan Of milking only during short
season regardless Of the feed and care.
It Is the persistent mixer that makes
the money. The only way to compare
the production of the two kinds of
cows IL to know with a reasonable de-
gree Of accuracy the amount of milk
produced during the milking period.
This can be known only by keeping
some sort of record. 1t is not abso-
lutely essential that this be a daily
record. However. it cannot well be
other than a monthly record-that is.

averaging Of the months milk on this
basis and at the close Of the milking
period total Of the monthly results.
Testing of samples Of the cows milk
should be done with sufficient freQuen-
cy to determine the percentage Of but
ter fat contained therein. The cream
station operator or the creamery will
be glad to do this testing. There Is
absolutely no way of knowing the rel
alive merits of the several cows in the
herd except plan along this line be
followed. Progress and increased prof.
1t in dairying cannot be had without
the adoption of some such scheme as
this. The results will determine the
cows to be kept in the herd and milk
ed and will also determine the prob
able value of the heifer calves which
are to enlarge the herd or take the
place of Improbable mixers.
The fact is that profitable dairying
is absolutely out of the question unless
those things be known which the test
and the scales only will reveal. These
implements. together with record of
the performance of the individual
cows. are absolutely inseparable from
profitable dairying both in so far as
the practice on the farm is concerned.
and in so far as the dairy writer and
teacher are concerned. There would be
little for the writer or teacher of dairy
ing to say-in fact. we would have
learned little about the dairy COW and
her methods-except for the use Of the
scales and test.

BROKE UP THE GAMES.
charIey's Antics With His "Bread an
Butter an Sugar On"

Butter am Sugar On"
Charley was nice husky boy, but
he had one serious fault, which I deem
1t my duty to mention, although it was
perhaps natural symptom Of real boy
hood. In the middle of an exciting
game Of woolly woolly-wolf, three-old-
cat, nibs or shiny he would slip away
home, to return presently with per-
fectly paralyzing slice Of bread an but
ter an sugar on.
Now, If you were ever a boy yourself
you'll agree that Charley was very i'm
moral to behave that way. The effect
was always disastrous. The game
would come to an immediate halt,
while every kid in the bunch gazed
longingly at Charley's lunch, each Of
us Eliminating silently on the wisdom
of combined attack, since none of us
would for a moment think of trying to
share the tempting tidbit single hand
ed. And that, too, you will say was
natural enough if you've been a boy.
But the particular reason why Char
ley's offense was immoral was the way
be carried his bread an butter an sugar
on. He didn't hold it in the grasp Of
his hand like other boys; he elevated it
daint1ly on the tips Of his fingers and
thumb, just as waiter carries tray.
That, I say, was immoral. And he ate
around 1t in concentric circles, ever ap-
preaching the supreme saccharine pin
nacle of palatability at the geograph-
ical center Of the slice. But long be-
fore he had circumscribed his luncheon

Holly Once a Medicine.

Holly formerly played an important
part in domestic medicine. The berries
are violently purgative and emetic''
and were swallowed ten at time by
our Incorporate ancestors to cure the
"vapors." spleen" and other mysteri-
Gus maladies. Some years ago promi-
nent French physicians pronounced a
decoction of holly leaves or an extract
from the bark. called ''ilicine," to be
superior to quinine as tonic and
febrifuge. Owing to commercial and
other difficulties the boom died away,
and 'ilicine" no longer figures in the
British Pharamacopoeia.-L Elk
