ABOUT BROKEN LIMBS.
How to Apply Bandages Made of Plaster
of Paris.

How to Apply Bandages Made of Plaster
of Paris.
1t often happens that some animal
upon the farm has leg broken. Not
always will it pay to try to save the
animal In case of a fat hog or one of
the cattle, it would be better to kill
the animal at once, as the meat would
be good for use if killed as soon as the
fracture is made, but with small ami
mails plaster of paris bandage applied
to the fracture will in a few weeks
time make the limb as good as new.
Several instances of this kind have
happened in my own experience, and
the plaster bandage has always result
ed in a complete cure.
Once pet lamb had its leg broken.
Instead of killing tia quantity of the
plaster was wet up with cold water,
the leg well creased to prevent the
plaster sticking to it when the time
came to remove the bandage, and a
thick coating applied directly to the
leg, first Strengthening as well as pos
sible. Cloth bandages were then wound
around 1T and securely tied. After the
plaster had set, the lamb was given its
liberty. After a few days it began to
use the limb a little, and at the end of
a month the bandage was removed and
the limb found to be perfectly sound.
A hen was found with its leg broken
in q trap last spring. AS it was
choice one it was treated as above, and
although it was longer in healing. it
finally came out all right and shows no
sign of its accident at the present
time.
To apply the plaster, it should be
spread upon strip of cloth after be-
ing wet, as otherwise it could not be
made to stay in place while the ban
dage was being applied. Ella Rock.

Wolf teeth have for long time been
considered by most horsemen to be in
furious to the horse and particularly
that they affected the eyes. They are
q small tooth situated directly in front
of the first upper molar tooth. They
are insignificant, SO to speak. 1t is my
firm belief. writes an experienced veter-
mary in the American Trotter, that
there never was a horses eye that was
affected merely from the presence of
the wolf teeth. However, they are use
less and may be extracted In the
trotting horse l particularly recon-
mend their extraction from the fact
that the bit pulls the checks into them
sometimes and cuts and irritates them
and causes the colt CREST deal Of un-
necessary ANNOYANCE.

Royal Baking Powder

Lawyer Bunker, of Ellsworth, Me-,
recently had an unprecedented contest
with an angry bull on the Hancock
county fair grounds at that place. He
seized the angry beast by the horns,
and, after an exciting tussle, actually
succeeded in downing the bull. Since
then the young farmers of the county
have been practicing at this hazardous
wrestling, and most any average-sized
man will now boast of his ability to
upset any bull in the county. Com
petitive challenges have been the nat
ural outcome, and Bucksport has just
issued defiance to Ellsworth to match
its star against any ''rarsler" (w-estler)
in the latter place. ''horns holt, best
