The Eyes of School Children

Should have the most solicitouS
care of both the teacher and the
parents, children's eyes, as we'll as
their bodies, are undeveloped. Dur
ing the period of development of
the eyes, from the age of 8 to IS
years, they are soft and pliable and
easily susceptible to change in
shape by strain or over taxing in
study. Perfect sight is dependent
upon the perfect shape of the eye
ball. When the eye is strained in
in study the eye-ball is stretched
and drawn upon, causing structural
changes that lead to various de-
fects of sight, near-sightednes:
being most common. When near

Winter Dairying Pays
Says Uncle Sam

When asked why they preferred
to have all their cows freshen in
the spring, a number of farmers
in a Northwestern State said
positively that winter dairying
did not pay in that section. The
agent of the cow-testing associa-
ton, therefore, investigated
number of farms to determine
whether it was the best practice
in that region to have cows
freshen up in the spring because
there is then plenty of grass, and
grass is cheap feed" He found
that the spring-freshened cows
gave milk for a time while the
pasture was good, but as the hot
weather and flies came on, the
flow gradually decreased until by
fall they usually were dry. AS
the owners thought it did not
pay to feed a dry COW, the cows
were allowed to brouse around all
fall picking up what they could,
and in many cases they were
forced to rustic around a
straw pile all winter. As a re-
suit, in the spring many cows
emerged with ribs showing and
were considerably weakened by
the time they freshened. They
therefore get poor start in the
season, and in many cases their
milk records the year following
were still lower. 1t was not
surprising, the agent points out,
that the average COW, so mis-
handled, could produce only about
$50 pounds a year.
Many so-called scrub cows, the
agent points out, if freshened in
the fall and given the right kind
of feed and treatment during the
winter before coming on grass
for the latter part of their lacta-
ton period would prove money
makers. This opinion seems to
be supported in the same general
locality. These records show
that the average farm COW that
freshens in the fall not only pro-
duces more milk and fat, but it
also is more profitable to keep.
In one county many cows which
freshened in the fall won a
place on the associations honor
list for January and continued tc
produce heavily during the win
ter. When the grass came in the
spring these same cows picked
up to their natural waning milk
flow and finished up with their
natural waning with a good year
ly production before going dry
late in the summer. What is
still more important, however,
from the profit point of view, is
that the fall freshened cows pro-
duced the larger part of their
records while milk prices were
best. With the common idea that
grass is cheap feed" therefore,
this agent would couple the fact
that butter fat is usually CHEAP
at the same time.
