WOMAN SEES A BABY
FOR The FIRST Time
Born Blind, Thought 1t Pack
age Until 1t Moved.

Berkeley, Cal.-There is a young wo-
man in Berkeley who saw a baby for
the first time only a few weeks ago.
She thought it was a package from
which the wrapping had been torn.
When the package" moved she was
astounded.
She is Miss Tomsyna Carlyle, aged
twenty-one. After darkness, due to
blindness at birth, Miss Carlyle is able
to see today. Her sight is the gift Of a
woman Of means, whose name is with
held.
This woman was born blind, too; but,
her sight having been restored by an
operation, she has gone of recent years
among blind institutions seeking young
women afflicted as she was, furnishing
money for the operations.
Miss Carlyle is a graduate of the Wis
consin normal school and is attending
the University of California here,
bring her another degree.
Highly educated, she cannot read
printed English, having heretofore
studied the raised point system of the
blind She is taking lessons in reading.
The baby was one Of the never end
ing series of wonders she saw after
the surgeons knife brought her from
the. world of darkness into the world
of light.
Telling for the first time of her i'm
pressions when she saw objects pre-
viously known only by the sense Of
touch or sound, Miss Carlyle said:
IT was on a street car when wom-
an got on with baby in her arms.
I had never seen one before and did
not know what it was. l thought it
was a package from which the wrap
ping had been torn.
"When the baby moved l was dunn
founded But then 1 saw the face
clearly and recognized the features
of a human being. And knew was
looking for the first time upon one of
the most precious things ON earth
Her surprises, said Miss Carlyle, be-
gan Immediately after the bandages
were removed from her eyes following
the successful operation. She saw
fingers for the first time. They seem
ed much longer and fatter than she
had supposed.
Colors made a great impression on
her, and it required considerable in
struction before she could distinguish
them. Colors in foods rendered eating
difficult.
II had not seen different articles of
food before. said Miss Carlyle. For
time 1 hardly felt like eating as
seemed to be eating colors."

LET'S CLEAN UP
SCHOOL GROUNDS

Lets get together and fix up the
school grounds this spring. SO that
when the superintendent comes around
on the inspection trip he will see that
We like order and beauty as well as
anybody"
Along about this season of the year
somebody is quite certain to make a
remark like this Wouldn't it be fine
il, instead of merely talking about
improvement, the teacher and pupils
would really start something's" A
few shrubs wisely placed, a well raked
yard, plus the sowing of little grass
seed on the bare spots here and there,
and perhaps a tree or two set out along
the walks, will do wonders. In case
the school board have neglected to
keep the schoolhouse repaired and
painted, efforts on the part of the pu-
pills to clean up the premises will very
likely have a good effect.
Landscape gardening is interesting
work, and there are certain rules to
be followed, or else the result will not
be pleasing. All open spaces between
the shrub clumps and the trees should
be kept in green sward if possible, ex-
cept at the rear of the schoolhouse,
where the boys play ball, marbles or

WHY HAVE SPRING FEVER?

We can't understand why you should
brood over cares when the spring
times at hand and the coal man de-
spairs,
When the gentle spring rain comes,
reviving the grass, when the hotbeds
grow warm meath the storm window
glass;
When the robin goes fishin' for
worms on the lawn, and the distance
grows shorter from daylight to dawn;
When asparagus sprouts, and the
rhubarb is thick, and we feel sort O.
lazy and think we are sick;
When poultrymen rave about fall
laying strains, and hatch out a few
cross-eyed chicks for their pains;
When the creamery man clears out
the churns and the watts, and the mil
Ter makes war on the winter-bred
rats;
When the housewife, in busting cap,
wearing frown, takes a whack at
the carpets while hub" puts them
down;
When bessie COW goes to her pas
lures again, and the dairyman thinks
of the incoming 'yen;"
When the milk-tester packs up his
glassware and scales, and hikes for
the verdant and welcoming Wales:
When the orchardist sprays and the
seed dealer smiles and the plowman
turns burrows for miles upon miles;
When the children rake rubbish to
build a bonfire or organize ball teams
to fight the umpire:
When the milliner, poet and lover
enthuse, the world has no business to
nurture the blues;
So when springtime's at hand, and
the coal man despairs, we can't I'M
derstand why you brood over cares.

COW, the labor required in caring for
her and credits her with the value Of
her manure and his final report is
chat the cost of her keep is $73.6S
The four jurymen hold a consulta-
ton; they find the COW just equaled
the requirements in butterfat test;
that her milk has cost $1.55 per cwt.
to produce and has been sold for $1.55
per cwt. This COW is returned to the
dairy on trial Had she been a glut-
ton and eaten a bit more Of grain,
or had she produced a pound less
milk or had her butterfat test fallen
a bit lower, she would have received
the death warrant which is summar-
lily melted out to robber COWS.
These four jurymen do a wonderful
service to the dairymen of this coun-
try They are willing workers and
any farmer can obtain their services
and keep all of his COWS under sur
veillance at all times with but small
expense. In this way he eliminates
the robber COWS and learns the re-
spective values of the others, for
each COW is worth in proportion to
the net profit which she produces for
her owner.
Contrary to the opinion of the grade
cow farmers, these jurymen do
greater service for them than for the
farmers with pure-bred COWS, for the
proportion of poor cows among grade
herds is greater than among pure
bred herds.
Any dairyman can use the scales.
milk sheets and feed records without
instructions and he can obtain infor-
nation on the Babcock test from Cir
cular q, Wisconsin Agricultural Tx
pertinent Station, Madison.
At all events, know your COW.

WHEN THE BABCOCK
TEST WAS YOUNG

History has it that Wisconsin's "bo-
vine Bertillon SYSTEM known as the
Babcock milk test, was given it's first
commercial tryout in Wisconsin at the
creamery Of A. R. Hoard, near Fort At
kinson, and in connection with it's in
PRODUCTION among the patrons of that
institution some interesting facts
were brought to light, both in respect
to human nature as well as COW ma
ture
ITS unfair-it's robbery to the pro-
Queer! Twas the cry raised by a num-
Der Of patrons of the Hoard creamery
when the proprietor announced that
all raw material from that time on
would be gagged and valued by the
Babcock system
Little or no objection was heard
from the owners of high grade Jersey
herds, quite large number of whom
were patrons of the Hoard concern.
They were willing to base future valu-
alton Of their product strictly upon the
individual merits of their COWS, while
the dissenters were we'll aware that if
there was any robbery going on they
themselves were not losing anything
by it. Therefore the hue and cry was
limited to those who were owners of
scrub COWS.
Mr.. Hoard thought out a plan
whereby he could ''show up" the reac-
tionary element. He installed two sep
arate milk watts, one for the milk from
the Jersey herds and the other to be
filled by the scrub COWS. The milk in
the first vat was to be valued by the
Babcock test, while the contents Of the
second vat was to be paid for on the
old pound system. Thus each element
got what it deserved.
But the owners Of the inferior pro-
ducers soon began to sicken of their
bargain. No longer could they swell
their cream receipts at the expense of
someone else. They grew tired Of each
others company and soon desired to
get in on the quality basis. Of course
it necessarily followed that their
boarder COWS were sold and animals
that were more profitable purchased
instead.
The perfect fairness of the Babcock
test has never been more severely
criticized than at this time, neither
has any subsequent victory for it's sup
porters been more sweeping and COM
plete. Like all evils, the boarder cow
once had it's army of followers, but
they are swiftly dwindling in the light
of wider knowledge and more consist
ent breeding methods.
