FACTS ABOUT GLASS EYES.

After the war thousands of our
fellowmen will be walking about
with "a bit O. glass" in their heads
in place of lost eye, and it will take
an expert to tell which is the real
and which the artificial, says Tit
Bits. The one drawback to the glass
eye is that its only use is ornamen-
tai; but when one remembers the dis
figuring influence of a lost optic,
that Is even more a virtue than a
fault. The fact remains, however.
The artificial hand can do the most
wonderful things, from picking up a
Bin to working a lathe. The artifi-
cial leg soon becomes so efficient that
the wearer can play a good game of
lawn tennis. and has to inform his
opponents which leg is the "game"
one. The artificial nose can still
not always an unmixed blessing
but the most exquisitely wrought and
aytistically finished artificial eye can
not see! That is beyond the skill Of
man
Birmingham is the headquarters Of
the glass-eye trade, and that wonder
full midland city has brought its
manufacture of this particular arti-
Gle, as of many others, to great per-
fiction. Eyes are sent to all parts
Of the world; but, of course, the war
has made business brisker today
than ever it was in the history OF
this restricted and exceedingly skill
ed trade. The most important firm
will always have at least 5000 glass
eyes ready for dispatch and selec-
ton, and can match any eye in any
head

SWEET CLOVER BEST
AS GREEN MANURE

While sweet clover can be grown
as a substitute for red clover and
seneyaRy furnished more feed per
acre, the most valuable use Of the le-
xume is for green manuring. Be-
cause Of its rank growth it is in high
favor as a green manure. The roots
large and aerste the soil in greater
degree than either alfalfa or clover.
Those who have grown corn after
both sweet clover and alfalfa claim
Mat the former contributes more to
the fertility than does the alfalfa. IT
is claimed that sweet clover seeded
with eats makes satisfactory
growth after the oats are harvested
and win produce the following year
green manure equivalent to 20 tons
Of barnyard manure. 1t Is especially
valuable for resoring the fertility on
hillsiaes.

5000 CRATE FATTeN|NG
RAT|0NS FOR CHICKENS
Regularity in Feeding is Essen
tiaI TO Progress Of Chickens
In Coops.

Material TO be used for fattening
chickens in crates should depend
somewhat on the cost and on tho
purpose for which the fowls are be-
ing fed. II hard white fat and
white skin are desired. oats and bar
ley should make UP large part of
the ration. If yellow fat and skin
are desired. eornmeal should be the
principal ingredient Of the mash.
A simple. efficient ration for farm
use consists Of 60 pounds of corn
meal. 40 pounds wheat middlings,
oat flour. barley meal or buckwheat
middlings (or 40 pounds Of a mix
these materially and 5 pounds of
finely ground beef scrap. This mash
is mixed with sour milk. either skim
milk or butter milk. in the proper
ton Of about 1 u pounds Of milk to
each pound of mash. The mash
mixed ready for feeding should have
the consistency Of buckwheat cake
batter It is not necessary to mix
mash from every feeding as slight
fermentation makes it more palata-
bic and more digestible.
The chickens to be fattepded
should be given nothing to eat or
drink for at least II hours after they
are placed in the crates.
At the first feed. only about one
third as much of the mash should be
siven as the chickens will eat The
amount fed should be increased at
each feed until by the fourth feed
they are being given all they will
clean UP in from 20 TO 80 minutes.
After the fourth feed. every effort
should be made to stimulate the con-
sumption Of mash.
Feeding should be done at the same
hours each day. Regularity is es-

SERIOUS DECLINE IN
GERMAN BIRTH RATE

Copenhagen.-The birth rate in
Hamburg, Germany, according to the
latest weekly statistics. has fallen
below TT per thousand as compared
with 81 during the first week OF
June. which in itself was highly
alarming as indicating a serious de-
cline in the number Of births. There
were more than 80 per cent. more
deaths than births during the week,
although the mortality is still some
what lower than June owing to the
improvement in food conditions
through the availability Of fresh
vegetables.
