Sightless for IL Years,
Works His Own Farm

Peterborough, Ont. - Though
blindness has shrouded his life with
darkness, sixty fve-year-old Peter
Robertson moves: unerringly about
his 10O-acre farm, feeding the stock,
cleaning stalls and finishing the odd
chores. His step is slow but confident
as he moves about, his only compan-
ion collie pup. -
The gray-haired farmers home
is in the RICE Lake district, about
seven miles south of here, near the
village Of Keene. Despite his total
blindness, which he suffered, twelve
years ago, MIR. Robertson operates
his truck garden, herds the cattle,
separates the milk and churns the
butter. He also has a chicken run
and he is proud that his farm is on
a paying basis. i,
In the small farm home tidiness
is apparent. Mr.. Robertson does his
own housekeeping. Once week he
makes the round of his property,
checking the fences.
He was born on farm near by.
Thirty-one years ago he obtained his
present home. He has been mar
ried twice, his second wife dying
at the turn of the century. A son
died during the influenza epidemic
Of 1918.
II know every stick and stone on
the 100 acres and know where the
fences are when come to them
almost without feeling for them"
said the aged farmer. ''When I set
out across the fields I take note of
little things like the direction of
the wind SOL can keep in a straight
line"

Arms Thieves Wasting
Time In Guard Arsenal

Columbus, O.-Adjt.- Gen. Emil F.
Marx has served notice on any
gangsters who might want to build
up their arsenals with equipment Of
the Ohio national guard that they
would just be wasting their time.
He said that the rifles, pistols and
machine guns kept in armories of
local national guard units are Grip
pied so they won't shoot, as pre-
caution against thieves.
'tSome of the units remove the
bolts from rifles, important parts
from the pistols and the firing pins
from machine guns, and keep them
in a safety deposit vault Of a bank"
Gen. Marx added. 'The only time
they are used is in the summer
training camp"
With the help Of Federal funds,
iron doors and bars are being
placed on the gun rooms of local
armories.

Tells How to Keep Size
in the Laying Strains

Experienced poultrymen general
ly agree that most heavy laying
stocks of fowls tend steadily to de-
generate in size. This is not a con-
dition peculiar to production bred
fowls. ALI stocks of animals and
birds bred to high performance in
any respect, or to rare excellence in
appearance, tend to degenerate in
the same way, and invariably do so
unless breeders take special care to
prevent it.
The breeder among my acquaint-
ances, states a poultryman in the
Boston Herald, who succeeded best
in keeping up the size of a very
heavy laying strain told me that
he did it by the constant rigid ap-
plication of this simple rule: Breed
males for stock purposes only from
the heavy laying females which
maintain or increase their weight
in their first years laying, and use
only those males which at maturity
are of standard weight for their
breed.
The effects of this rule do not
fully appear for several years after
it is adopted. For two years after.
beginning to employ it the proper
ton Of hens below average weight
continues to be considerable. After
that it is practicable to discard all
hens not of satisfactory size from
the breeding pens, and with both
sexes Of good size the proportion of
understood offspring will be no long
er troublesome. 49, ,---->-,-..---

Sentence Should Be

"Now, here's your act! At this
point you fall into his arms and
lay your head upon his shoulder.
He pushes you away and you rush
at him and throw your arms about
his neck and look into his eyes.
Then he makes threat to strike
you and you shrink back, sort of
dazed. Again you make an effort
to fall into his arms, but he again
raises his hands to strike you;
this causes you to cry aloud and
fall unconscious, and he leaves
you there and walks away. Do
you get it?"
"Yeah! But how much am I
