ABUSING The EYES.

Reading While Rocking 10 a Mighty
Harmful Habit.
A well known oculist declares that
women injure their eyes, sometimes
seriously, by swinging back and forth
In a rocking chair while reading. This
practice is especially injurious when
one Is reading by an artificial light or
by daylight when the sway Of the
rocker makes shadows come and go on
the printed page. Rigidly as one may
think ones book is held, there Is bound
to be little unsteadiness Of the page
as the chair goes forward and back,
and the eyes must adjust themselves
rapidly to the changing focus.
Every one knows the danger Of read
ing In fast moving railroad train, but
reading In fast moving rocking chair
is quite as bad. Women who use a low
rocker for sewing seldom sway back
and forth much when an important bit
Of work Is in hand. The chair stops,
and interest is concentrated on the
problem of stitching or hemming, but
many a woman viii read and rock,
rock and read, through q whole eve
ming and perhaps every time her chair
comes forward the shadow Of the lamp
shade fringe is cast across the page of
her book, this in addition to the con-
tinual change of focus made necessary
for long suffering eyes.
A rocking chair is not really restful
and most women rock from nervous
habit; the more nervous they are the
faster they rock. Man really rests
and relaxes when he sits down In q
deep, rockerless armchair. Who ever
saw a man rocking violently and smok
ing a cigar at the same time? The
woman who can sit perfectly still with
folded hands while she rests and spend
an hour reading without rocking OF
swinging one foot with knees crossed
win benefit In nerves and In eyes from
the resting or the reading. She who
rocks and reads viii certainly feel eye
strain from the practice sooner or later

Ration of Wheat Straw and Cottonseed
Mea! Gives Poor Results.
Straw and cottonseed meal or cake
does not make good fattening ration
for steers. 1t may cause the steers to
gain fairly well If enough Of the cot
tonseed meal is fed. This viii be true
only for short time, however, because
II cottonseed meal is fed in excess of
seven Or eight pounds per day for
very long period it will have very
injurious effect upon the cattle. Then,
too, it VIII be rather expensive ration.
In two experiments where straw and
cottonseed meal were fed together the
following results were obtained: In lot
No. five steers we're fed for 1873 days
during the winter on an average Of
1873 pounds of straw and one pound of
cottonseed meal per head per day. The
steers gained only twenty-one pounds
per head during the total period.
In another lot FIVE steers were fed
upon a combination Of 14.4 pounds of
straw and two pounds of cottonseed
meal per head per day for period Of
1873 days during the winter. In this
lot the steers gained only sixty-two
pounds per head during the period of
1873 days. These are the only expert
ments that l know of where cattle
were fed In an experiment on a combi-
nation of straw and cottonseed meal

fat not only sets a new standard Tor
her class, the junior two year old, but
teaches lesson in profitable milk pro
duction.
Lipsa, freshening with her first calf,
started on test at the age Of two years
and five months and weighed 67S
pounds. On the day she finished her
record she tipped the scales at 1884
pounds, a gain of 211 pounds during
her test period. This significant gain
should be borne in mind when studying
her feed record.
The value of an Official record In 30
far as it concerns the cow and her
progeny has never been questioned.
But it has often been said that the
milk and butter fat produced by cow
In a record year was made at great ex-
pense and was Improbable. Lpsa's
record refutes this absolutely.
An accurate record Of her feed and
its cost was kept throughout the test.
This record shows that Lipsa consum-
ed $134.54 In feedstuffs, which includes
grain, hay, ensilage and roots.
Lipsa's production Of milk sold by
her owner at 10 cents per quart brought
e541.0O. Deducting the $13454, her
cost of feed, she returned $40706 over
and above her feed cost. Lipsa also
presented her owner with heifer
calf, which is not for sale at any price
and constitutes an extra dividend"
The Ohio State university supervised
Lipsa's test. having sent its testers to
her owners farm twenty-five times
during the year. She was also tested
on one occasion by the head Of the reg
lister Of merit department of the A j.
@. O. Her record showed remarkable
persistency and regularity, the best
months yield being 61.9 pounds fat
and the yield of the twelfth month in
lactation 5S.05 pounds fat.

and it only requires few doses to give
me relief"
On October 2, 1916, Mr. Hates said:

SELECTING Dairy Bulls,

In selecting dairy bull it is best to
consider his pedigree for several gen.
erations rather than to base judgment
on the wonderful record of his dam,
which, though good COW, may just be
a freak. Such a. COW win generally
transmit only the average qualities Of
her family. Well bred bulls nine years
of age are considered still young enough
for valuable herd improvement, and If
they are vigorous and Of good DISPOSE

The Safety That Goes With Transpor


The Safety That ooes With TrRnspor-
tation by AsropIane.
1t is a new idea that the aeroplane
is a safe means of transportation In
safe hands, yet 1t is an idea that we
must firmly get into the popular mind.
The average citizen Is still frightened
at the prospect of leaving the ground
and having no support except the air
itself. Yet at the speed which we ex-
pect an aeroplane to maintain-seventy
or eighty miles an hour-there Is no
means of transportation that is 80 safe.
The distractions that cause acct
dents with trains and automobiles do
not exist for flying craft A locomo-
tive has to follow a definite track,
which may cause frightful calamity.
The aeroplane is not so circumscribed
It's tracks are wherever 1t wishes to
go. There are no Instructions In the
air-unless we regard "air pockets as
such-nO bridges to cross, ne noun
tains to penetrate, no signals to run
by and no switches to be misplaced.
Or compare this new craft with the
rough road of the automobile. The
slightest mistake or even inattention
on the part of the driver, going say
forty or fifty miles an hour, may hurl
the machine over precipice or over
turn it on an embankment. But such
a lapse on the part of an aviator has
no such deplorable results. There are
no precipices to fall from and no OBJ
structions to collide with.
The aeroplane is even safer than
some forms of water travel The mo-
torboat, going at speed of forty miles
an hour or even slower, is a more
risky form Of transportation than an
aeroplane. If such boat strikes even
a small obstruction, such as floating
plank, its side Is punctured and 1t sinks
in a few seconds. But there are no
such dangers in the air. = Orville
Wright in Harper's.

Flies and Filth.

The fly is born in, lives and thrives
upon filth. If no filth is allowed to
accumulate in a house or its neighbor-
hood it will not be troubled by flies,
for they do not ordinarily stray far
from their breeding places and their
sources of food. In thoroughly clean
neighborhood they cannot live in the
face of screens preventing their access
to food and to the absence of manure
heaps and other receptacles for filth in
which to deposit their eggs.
