NEW NOSE MADE FOR WOMAN

A woman recently left the London
hospital with new nose made from
flap of skin taken from her own
forehead. The operation was rendered
necessary on account of an ulcer of
years growth, which had gradually
eaten away all the tissues of the nose.
A raequet-shaped flap of skin about
two inches in length and an inch and
a quarter wide was cut, extending up
wards, from the bridge of the nose,
the beginning of the handle" of the
racquet being the only point of at
tachment. The skin was very care
fully detached from the underlying
bone, and, being swung round with its
attachment at the base of the nose.
was made to cover the previously de-
nuded nose area The new nose was
stitched into place at the sides, open
ings being left for the woman's nos
trils The denuded space on the fore
head was then covered in with skin

years, who was only three weeks In
the hospital, left well pleased with
her artificial features.

SOLVE THE RURAL PROBLEM
President Barrett Points Out Ways In
Which Farmer Can Improve Con-
ditlons by Cooperation.
tBy C. S, BARRETT.)

Thy c. S. BARRETT)
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
| have pointed out upon several re,
cent occasions that the organized
farmer is facing the most progressive
era In American history, and that the
keynotes of this era were to be those
Of business methods and of genuine
cooperation.
There Is but one way to hasten and
make National the benefits of that
step forward-and that Is in every
farmer in America, whether or not
he is affiliated with the Farmers
Union, constituting himself a mission
airy for the improvements Of eondi-
tons in his own locality.
The soundest thinkers In America
are agreed that the rural problem is
the greatest one today facing the
country, and that upon its proper
solution must depend largely the safe
guarding of prosperity and of ad-
vancement.
Each farm In America presents a
rural problem today. Every farmer
in America, whether the Lord Of 1000
acres. or the poorest 'cropper" In the
southern states, must be an individual
solver of that problem as it applies
to himself and to his friends and his
families.
For though the National govern
ment and philanthropists and con-
scientieus publicists may spend mil
lions in the country districts, their
united efforts will be futile unless the
individual farmer goes about the work
of betterment as though he were re-
sponsible for the whole job.
Let that creed be adopted as ma
tional slogan, and the next ten years
will see rural America offering les
sons and models in prosperity and

heard Of needle and thread being
found where it was found today-viz,,
in hens egg! A servant girl, en-
gagged in cooking, broke an egg into

fork. and. on examining 1t, found to
her surprise a needle and thread.
Happening to be visiting at the house
at the time, was at once informed
OF the extraordinary find, and the
needle with the thread attached was
put into my hand. MY first idea was
that the needle might have dropped
from the girls dress, but I was as
sured that this was not the case; and,
moreover, the needle, now in my pos.
session. was quite black, this being
no doubt due to the action of the sui
phur of the yolk upon the steel Of the
needle. The needle is an inch and
half long, and the thread is six
inches.

Winter Grains VS.. Weeds.


Winter rye and winter wheat are
good weed eradicators. These grains
make good fall pasturage for sheep
or cattle. In the spring they make an
early heavy growth, SO that weeds are
smothered. Ripening earlier than
wild oats, mustard, etc., these crops
thereby help greatly in the eradication
of weeds. These grains ripen earlier
than spring-sown crops, and their
yield is usually good Winter rye will
stand being pastured better than win
ter wheat. It is not advisable to pas
ture winter wheat in the fall, If it is
TO be left for a crop the following
year There is little danger of pas
turing winter rye too much.
