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

How to Apply Bandages Made of Plaster
of Paris.
1t often happens that some animal
upon the farm has leg broken. No!
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 q 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 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 it and securely tied. After the
plaster had set, the lamb was given its
liberty. After few days it began to
use the limb little, and at the end of
month the bandage was removed and
the limb found to be perfectly sound.
A hen was found with its leg broken
in trap last spring AS it was a
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 a 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

Colors to Wear and to Avoid.

A blue-eyed person never looks so
blue-eyed as in blue dress or white
with blue cravat, whereas the strong
blue of the fabric might have been ex-
pected to dim or kill the slight blue Of
the eye, A woman With remarkably
red lips, clad in dull heliotrope, with
amethysts, has all the coral taken from
her mouth, which wears instead 2 light
heliotrope tint, and with this tint the
pink of her cheek is lso touched An
ordinary or even sallow cheek never
looks so beautifully white as ever a
white Dress which seemed TO threaten
to darken it. And, beautiful as the
aesthetic" colors were in their day,
they quenched and dimmed their wear
ers to their own tone. This is not to be
easily explained by any known chro-
matte rules. Nor can one say why tur.
guois blue darkens dark eyes and adds
to their brightness. Experiment and
verification should be as much valued
by the women as by the Comtist philos
opher. Chicago Tribune.

One excellent plan for keeping up the
fertility of the pasture land is to divide
the pastures into two fields, giving the
cattle the advantage of a portion of
the pasturage, leaving one field to
grow and so remain until spring. This
method simply protects the pasture
from close cropping, which is sure to
cause exhaustion at some period, as
every time the cattle Craze over the
pasture it is equivalent to so many
mowings of the grass, BY protecting
the pasture there is loss of its use at
this season, but n greater longevity of
the grasses of the pasture is secured
The best season for the renewal of
pastures is in the fall, and more
growth and greater density can be had
by allowing the pasture grass to grow
and thicken than TO attempt to reseed
the pasture early in the spring.

FRESH FARM NOTES.

HAUL out manure as it accumulates
and spread on The fields. Do not let it
pile up and fire fang.
CLEAN up rubbish about the farm.
Bits of rails, limbs of trees, ends of
boards etc., will soon be covered with
snow.
In building temporary corn cribs
have the floor at least foot above the
ground, so rats and mice cannot harbor
under it.
PATCH up the cracks in the chicken
house, COW barn, sheep shed, etc.
Cold winds are detrimental to stock
raising.
GET potatoes in the cellar or pit as
the time is nearly here wher cold nights
will injure them. See that the storing
place is well ventilated.
WHEN the machinery used in putting
in the wheat crop is needed no longer,
carefully clean, grease bright metal
surfaces and put away in a dry place.
In selecting seed corn remember
that the varieties will cross-fertilize
at long distances. Select seed from
corn which has grown apart from other
varieties
THE best method of keeping roots
where one has no regular root cellar is
to bury on dry ground. Cover with two
feet Of earth and see that all water that
falls on the pit can get off readily.
LAYING out and putting in tile drains
is now in order, where the ground is not
too hard. Better have all the main
lines surveyed and the tile leveled be-
fore covering Imperfectly laid drains

Wolf Teeth In Horses.

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
a small tooth situated directly in front
of the first upper molav 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 | 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 a great deal of UNI
necessary annoyance

People Who fieconie Confirmed Smokers
Live Ten Years on an Average.
"SovHn-tenths of the people of China
are opium smokers, and 100000 of
them die annually from its effects"
said Chinese missionary recently who
has spent twenty-five years of his life
in the Flowery Kingdom.
This habit is rapidly growing" he
went on. ut is confined to no class or
sex, but men and women, officials and
coolies, use it alike. AS soon as opium
smoking becomes confirmed habit with
a Chinese coolie he knows that he has
about ten years to live That seems to
be the average, consider it easier to
reform sot in the gutter, one of your
lowest type of drunkards, than an
opium smoker. Place them behind iron
bars, if you like, and after being in
prison a short time they begin to beg
and plead for opium. They rave like
maniacs and their sufferings are terri
BILE to behold. They act like wild men.
1.-THE opium vice is running China.
The people know it and the govern
ment knows it, but they take no action
In twenty-five years it has increased 80
per cent Fertile fields that were once
used in the cultivation of rice are now
growing the opium weed. The pro.
vinces in northern China, where the
| terrible famine occurred Jew years
ago and where thousands persisted for
want of food, had been for years given
over to the production of opium instead
of food grains. When food was short
! the people found they could not live
on opium, so they starved to death.
"A parallel to the suffering during
that famine is hardly equalled by any
event in the history of the world, HUI
man beings died in the streets Of the
villages and on the roads. People
turned cannibals. Some dug up roots
and others were found on the roadside
where they had died biting the bark
off the trees. The dead were not buried,
for the living had all they could do to
take care of themselves.
Now to-day rice is one-third higher in
price than it was score of years ago,
because the crop has fallen off. Opium
shops are everywhere You may be

:. 4, 1t Is useless to try and raise AL your

Is to weed out the less promji ng stock

mates. Place them, fifteen or twenty
together, in closed coop, that is clean
and comfortable. for them to eat and
rest in, without cfowding each other.
Give them fresh water to drink. with
little cayenne pepper thrown into it,
two or three times a week, and feed
them all they will eat up clean three
times day, upon boiled corn and
wheat meal with potatoes Ga little
salted), one part of each into which,
while hot stir n pound of common
lard, beef tallow, or chandlers' scraps
perfectly sweet, mindl, to six or eight
quarts of mash
Feed this out when warm--have a
basin of coarse gravel handy, which
they will eat all they need of, to assist
digestion occasionally mix a little
powdered charcoal in this soft food
(Which latter is an excellent purifier,
and guards against the souring of
their food in the crop and in two or
three weeks your birds will be at their
best. XIII, dress and market them, and
thus make the wisest disposal you can
make of all your surplus or undesirable
fowls.
While this process is going on, says
Grange Homes, it will be observed that
the birds are in close, compact coops,
open only in front. These may be
placed in the barn, or anywhere most
convenient for the time being. They
will not suffer thus in body from the
cold. The coops should be set on the
ground, with straw or leaves for a
flooring. The heat of the fowls bodies
will serve to keep each other warm
enough in the three-sided closed coops.
They have no exercise, and they have
nothing to do but to eat, rest, sleep
and grow fat This method is simple,
economical and the least troublesome.
In twelve to twenty-four days, at the
outside, fowls thus treated should be
in their best condition for Strengthening
