And now it is Missouri Judge who
has decided that the eye money be-
longs to the farmers wife. and fined
a farmer in that state a good round
sum for selling the eggs from the farm
and appropriating the proceeds. Only
a few pretty mean men ever attempt
this. The rest let their wives have
this source of income, most of them be-
cause they want to and the rest be-
cause they have to. Let every woman
assert her rights in this matter.

The Russian minister of agriculture
has appropriated the sum of $4,000
for the purpose of developing the
creamery bushes along the line of the
new Siberian railroad. The money is
to be expended in giving instruction in
the dairy business to the farmer and
for the conducting of dairy schools in
which to train butter makers. Siberia
is likely to become an extensive butter
producing country, as the natural con-
ditions are exceedingly favorable for
the business.

If there is any wild live thing fur
or feathers left anywhere in the coun-
try where we live when spring comes,
it will be because it stayed under
ground when the horde of pothunters
were making their incessant raids. The
desire to kill for the sake of killing is
more brutally developed under our
modern civilization than when man
had to kill in order to live.

Poor Man Parts With His Ear.

DIR. Andrew L. Nelden, of New
York last week performed the opera
ton of grating an ear upon the head
of a Western millionaire, whose
name the surgeon says he is under
bond not to reveal. The operation
was to have been performed in New
York. but District Attorney Jerome
is said to have interfered, and the
case was moved to Philadelphia.
DIR. Nelden advertised for a man
willing to sell an ear for 5000, and
of 800 applications he selected a
Young German who conducts res
taurant in New York. DIR. Nelden
said:
"The operation has been perform
ed and promises to be successful. I
am under legal contract and heavy
bond not to reveal the name of my
patient.
Generally speaking he is a wealthy
man from the West. The operation
took place at a private hospital here,
where was assisted by a Philadel-
phia physician and one from New
York. | think they will be willing
to have their names known later.
1.-THE two men were placed in OPP
posite directions upon an elongated
bed 0ne-half of the volunteers ear,
the upper half, was cut off, together
with about four inches of the skin
behind the ear.
"This was twisted around and fit
ted to a freshly prepared wound up
on my patients head. The half ear
was held in place by bandages and
the two men bound so they could
not move their heads.
"They must retain this position at
least twelve days to allow the circu-
lation to come through the flap of
skin that still remains a part of the
volunteers scalp.
IF this half ear starts to knit
properly the lower half of the ear
will be grated in the same manner

The government of Denmark spent

The government of Denmark spent
100000 last year for the purpose
of making more farmers. Any la
borer in that country who saves
one-tenth of the price of a plot OF
land can borrow the remainder OF
the money from the government;
paying three per cent. interest. The
government sends expert professors
of agriculture to give every farmer
free lessons in farming, and each new
farmer is given free trip to model
farm, so that he may learn how to
make the best possible use of his
land.
