AS NEW" THOUGH
HE HAS NINE RIBS LESS.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Lone OF
he rarest and most delicate operations
known to medical science was success
fully performed in the West Philadel,
phia Homeopathic Hospital yesterday
by two of the hospital surgeons.
In an effort to save the life of Cliff
ford ]. Russell. of $500 Jefferson street,
whose lung had been punctured by a
self-fired bullet, nine of his ribs were
removed. The wounds were made ster-
lie, his slde sewed up and the man, AZ,
cording to the doctors, is 'as good as
new today"
This operation is a very dangerous
one, as 1t practically leaves the hear;
and respiratory organs exposed when
h ribs on the left side are removed,
II is only lone when all other means
of saving a patients life have failed.

two plans would be more effective.
Clay street runs out of Broad street at
an acute angle about one hundred feet

an additional twenty feet from the

F. ?. EARLE'S THIRD
ROMANCE PlATON|C
Eccentric Artist and Gertrude
Buell. Dunn Touring Europe
as Brother and Sister.

NEW YORK, Sept Followers here
OF the school of philosophy advocated
by Ferdinand Pinney Earle and friends
of the Monroe, N. Y, artist, today de-
clared that the friendship between
Earle and Miss Gertrude Buell. Dunn,
with whom he is reported to be trav-
cling in Europe. is absolutely Of a
platonic nature. 1t is purely a union
of souls" they say. with no thought
of marriage or relations approaching
marriage.
Ferdinand Pinney Earle came into
notoriety in September. 1907, when he
announced that he and his first wife,
who was Miss e. NJ. Eichbacher, had
agreed that their souls were not In
tune. Mrs. Earle obtained a divorce
and the artist married Miss Julia
Kuttner. a young settlement worker,
who had been living at his house in
Monroe before he and his wife sep
arated. Mrs. Kuttner-ITarle is now
suing him for divorce on the ground
that he was never properly divorced
from his first wife,
Earle and Miss Dunn, 1t is said, met
first at a house party of the members
of their cult near Norwalk, Conn, last
spring. Since then their companion
ship has been almost constant, and a
week ago, it is said, they sailed for
Europe.
Earle and Miss Dunn. heir friends
say, found their first mutual interest
in the artists proposition to urn his
large house at Monroe into an asylum
for foundlings. For the discussion of
his proposition. it is said. they spent
two weeks together at Monroe. Mis- 5

On the Farm.
/ M.-SmaIl Grain
Breeding
. BY G. v. GREGORY.
Author Of Home Course IN Modern
Agriculture
Copyright. 1903. by American Press
= Association

~MALL grain breeding is second
only to corn breeding in impor-
~ lance. Indeed, there Is even
more chance for improvement
along this line, since so little has been
done already. The average yield Of
oats in Iowa in 1908 was only twenty
three bushels to the acre, while many
fields yielded three times that much.
This is only one instance out Of many
that could be given to show the great
need for improved seed.
With small grain. as with corn, the
work of Improvement must largely be
done for each special locality. Each
type of soil and climate affects the
crops in different way, and varieties
that yield well in one part of the couD-
try may fail utterly under different
conditions. This makes it necessary
for each locality to have its small
grain breeder. There Is no opening
along the line of special farming that
offers greater opportunities to the am
bilious young farmer than this. The
work is little more particular than
corn breeding perhaps. but the results
are Just as sure and the profits just as
great. Even though you may not care
to take up small grain breeding as
business, it will pay you to carry it on
to limited extent at least to provide
improved seed for your own use.
Selection the Basis of improvement.
The requirements of the various
grains vary with the use to which they
are to be put, but the yield is an i'm
portant point with all Selection Is
the basis for improvement In yield as
we'll as in the other points that will
be taken up later. The first step is to
select the variety that seems to be
doing best in your locality, and use
that as the basis Of Improvement. The
simplest method of breeding is to Sc
lect a few Of the best heads at harvest
time to start with. great difference
will be observed at this time. Some
heads Of oats, for instance, will con-
tain three times as many berries as
others not a foot away. The seed
from these large heads, following the
law of like produces like" give lar
ger yields.
The seed from the selected heads is
sown on plot by itself the next
spring. Small grain is not like corn in
that it is normally self fertilizing. The
flower is inside the hull, so that the
pollen cannot get from one to the
other. The only way cross pollination
can be accomplished is by hand. Some
improved varieties have been produc-
ed in this way, but the operation is too
delicate and the results too uncertain
for the beginner. Being self fortified,
the only way small grain can be mixed
is mechanically. by mixing the seed. 1t
is not necessary that the breeding plot
be q considerable distance away from
the other fields. as in the case Of corn.
The produce of this breeding plot
should he thrashed separately and used
for planting q larger field the next
year The year after that there will
be enough seed for the entire acreage
of small grain.
This method is simple and easily
worked out on any farm. The trouble
with it Is that the inherited differ
