GRATING BONE ON ELBOW
French Surgeon Reports Success In
Two Of Most Remarkable Opera
lions on Record.

Dr.. Huffier, prominent surgeon
Of Paris, reports two cases of sue
ccssful grating of bone on human
elbow, in a communication to the
Academy Of Medicine. The two
operations were performed more
than year ago, and as the subjects
are in perfect health there can no
longer be any doubt of the success
Of the experiment. The surgeon
says that he was called upon to treat
the arm Of young man Of twenty
three. The elbow joint was affected
by ankylosis, and had to be removed,
as the entire arm was paralysed. The
bone of another patient, a lady
whose foot had to be amputatcd, was
used to replace the missing bone. DR..
Tuffier presented photographic
views showing that the arm and
joint were now perfectly healed, and
the young man, after IS months, is
able to use his arm. The second case
was that of young man of twenty
one, whose elbow had been destroyed
by tuberculosis. In this case DR..
Tuffier grated cartilage which had
been preserved for five days from an
operation performed on the leg OF
another person. This operation was
carried out IA months ago, and was
a perfect success.

Don't neglect to commence feeding
the colts some grain before they are
weaned.
Is the soldering horse in need Of
more grain, or may It not be that it's
teeth need filing?
The spring colt should be as gentle
as a kitten by this time and know
what a halter is for.
A good draft horse is good farm
horse either to wear out in the field
or to sell when mature.
There are a good many breeders
who still believe that it is profitable
to grind corn for the hogs.
Hold on to some Of the clover for
spring feeding. It is great when the
sheep get tired Of timothy.
The backs Of swine are often 10
jured by Juvenile rough riders" wi1S
choose hogs for their mounts.
The expense Of putting the third
100 pounds of weight on hog puts
q premium on early marketing.
Sheep are timid, nervous creatures,
and all excitement and roughness
should be avoided in handling them.
In the purchase Of new horse always
purchase a mare. She viii raise you
some colts, which win increase tho

SAFETY IN BLACK AND WHITE
Matter Of colors May Be Eliminated
From the Minds Of Women While
Fashion Lasts.

Surely a woman does not have to
worry much about colors this winter.
It is sheer waste of time to look in
the mirror with the sunlight and the
electric light at different times to see
whether a piece of purple or green or
blue or brown, placed under the chin.
reflects becoming glow on the skin.
The stores show dozens Of colors,
and the dressmakers offer them to you
In half-hearted way, but if you know
what's what in the world Of fashion
you will brush them all aside and go
in heavily for black and white.
There was some sense in struggling
against this edict last summer be-
cause here and there barbaric and
Byzantine colors darted their heads
up into sight like asps in an urn, but
the urn of fashion is now given over
to the two sharply contrasting colors.
You must not wear all white, and
you must not wear all black, but you
must juggle with the two until your
skill draws applause. You may think
the wearing of black and white is
monotonous; that it lacks variety; but
when you hear an expert talk on the
subject you feel as if you were at a
food exposition lesson where a cook
cry teacher describes one thousand
and one different ways in which eggs
can be used
