Colour Vision in the Consulting Room.

time we shall not be surprised, if in a few year's time, very few hand milkers will be left in this country. Handicraft is being superseded by mechanism; in our own opinion to the great loss of the amenities of village life. Few youngsters are taught nowadays to use a scythe and the same will soon be true of thatching. In the farm yard a Dutch barn solves this question and they were being used when we were a boy. But, with prefabricated houses, the old-fashioned thatched cottage will not last much longer. The High Church parson who advertised in a local paper for a communicant who can milk " could not'have envisaged the time when it would be impossible to obtain the services of a milk-maid, whether a communicant or not. It seems worth while to rescue the milking-side eye from oblivion before it is too late.
