CURE FOR A BROKER LEG.

BY the use Of modern remedies almost
any Injury TO an animals limb may be
repaired. Broken legs can be mendea
in the following manner: The animal is
placed in sings so that the body can be
supported IN such position that the feet
just touch the ground without bearing
any weight. The sling is made of some
strong bagging sewn firmly on to two
poles in such manner that the cloth
passes under the body, leaving the udder
free, and is held il place by a strap
around the neck and between the fore
legs, and another around thc breech to
prevent slipping. The limb is brought
into position and bandaged with a strip
of gunny baggiug around the broken
part. Other strips arc then dipped in
plaster OF paris, calciued for use in
piastering, aud made into thin paste
These are wound around the leg eight
or ten times, and then covered with Q
dry bandage which is sown together.
The bandage must not be wound so tight
ly as to interfere with the circulation. In
an hour or two tao bandage becomes
quite stiff, aud holds the fractured limb
firmly. In three weeks it may be re-
moved, but the animal should be kept III
the sings week or tea days longer, un-
til the union Of the bone becomes firm.

continues, Il pack my sisters trunk with
her camel's hair shawl and her best bon
net" The third takes it up with, Il pack
my sisters trunk with a box of tooth pow
der, her oamel's hair shawl and her best
bonnet" The fourth person in the party
adds, II pack my sisters trunk with a
pair of nickel plated scissors a box of tooth
powder, her camel's hair shawl and her
best bonnet" The next player then says,
II pack my sisters trunk with box of
sewing machine needles, pair of nickel
plated scissors, box of tooth powder, her

Thus the game proceeds. each one mention

as follows: First procure a round box

the same in depth Cover this with silver
paper, adding rims of gold perforated card
one-half inch wide top and bottom. Glue
two strips of strong cardboard one-half
inch wide at opposite sides of the box. They
should be about So inches in height, and
the tops should be pointed and connected
by wire, which helps to carry the roof;
they are further strengthened by the addi-
tion of cross pieces of cardboard, fastened
on about inch from the top of the sup
ports. Directly under these crossbars
strong wire supporting cork Ito which is
fastened the chain and buckeD is run
through the supports. When the wire has
been passed through the second support it
is then bent suddenly downward about
inches; a small wooden handle can be at
tached to the end. The roof is formed Of
piece of card hoard, 5 inches by inches;
this, with the supports, is covered with red
paper fancifully decorated with gold. The
lining of the wei! should also be red. Part
of toy silver watch chain answers adj
miraby for the well rope; it is secured to
the cork by small tack. A tiny wooden
or tin bucket can be bought at any toy
shop and affixed to the end. If properly
made it should really wind up and down
in the most realistic manner possible.
