UPON THE HEARING
Showing the Connection and the Signs Of
Progress.

Showing the Connection and the Signs Of
Progress.
A large proportion of the troubles of the
ear may be traced to catarrhal affections.
Many sufferers from catarrh will testify to
the peculiar effect that the disease seems to
have even in its early stages upon the hear
ing. The roaring and buzzing in the ears is
one Of the most familiar symptoms to ca
tarrhal sufferers.
Sometimes the sound which they hear in
their ears is described by them as steam
going out of pipe, "the sound Of q great
waterfall, A." sounds of water overfowing,"
or "steam from a locomotive" as buzzing,
singing, ringing and cracking; sometimes
like the sounds in a shell held at the ear or
the bursting OF bubbles.
Sometimes the sounds are of a beating,
pulsating, throbbing character, in cases
keeping time with the regular beating of the
heart. Sometimes there are several different
sounds such as pulsating and buzzing together,
in some cases the sounds are SO intense as to
render life burden, and there are instances on
record where the distracted sufferers have re-
sorted to suicide to rid themselves of them.
There can be no more important predispos-
ing or exciting cause in producing ear diseases
than catarrh in the nose and throat. The
symptoms of catarrh itself can hardly be mis-
taken. In many cases the patients have pains
about the chest and sides. and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy: the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morn
ing. A sort of sticky slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feel
ing ike a heavy load on the stomach, some
times a faint "all gone" sensation at the pit Of
the stomach which food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become
cold and clammy.
After a while cough sets in. at first dry, but
after few months it is attended with green
ish-colored expectoration- The patient feels
tired, all the while, and sleep does not seem to
afford any rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable. and gloomy. and has evil
forebodings. There Is a giddiness, q sort OF
whirling sensation in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become costive, the
skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes be-
come tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions
become scanty and high colored. depositing
sediment after standing. There is frequently
a splitting mp of food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste, this
is frequently attended with palpitation Of the
heart and asthmatic symphonic.

THE RECORD KEPT UP.

Bank Glearings Continue to Show Gains
Over Same Time Last Year.
There was nothing in the local money mar
ket yesterday to attract particular attention.
Clerical business was MP TO the average OF recent
weeks, but discounting was a little of. The
bank clearings show gain of about sZ6o0oo
over the same week last year. While this is
not as large as was hoped for, 1t Is still gain,
and does very well under the circumstances.
Business IL now at the dullest. and any change
must be for the better. That a change will
soon take place no one seriously doubts. The

TREATMENT OF MANURE.
Thorough saturating with Water VIII
Keep It from Burning.

Thorough saturating with Water VIII
Keep It from Burning.
The ground whore IL is intended to
pile the manure should be nearly
level (for although it takes deal OF
water to keep horse manure from
burning, 1t should not be placed in n
hole or depression where water can
collecD; make the piles about nine feet
or more wide and as long as the manure
will go or the room permit. Build the
pile as nearly straight upon the sides
as you can, and every layer Of one foot
or less must receive thorough sprink-
ling with water and be tramped as in
building hot-bed. After the pile is
as high as desired and heat rises, the
tramping must be repeated for few
days until the pile appears solid.
There it is to be left undisturbed till
wanted. II a good rain strikes it, so
much the better. as the manure will
absorb all that falls on top of II
II the pile Is fiat. 1t should be ar
ranged conveniently for getting the
water there. Putting barrels on the
wagon and throwing the water over
the pile with a pail, did not prove
satisfactory to me, as the work will
often be neglected until one or more
days haulings have accumulated; then
the water will not soak through and
the lower part will fire-fang and spoil.
The better way is, II well is not by
the manure already, to have one dug
for the purpose with good force
pump in it. A tank or a lot Of oil
barrels should be prepared for the
water and stand little higher than
the pile is going to be, and there
should be rubber hose of sufficient
length with spraying nozzle at
tached to it. Do not think this
will entail too much expense or
labor, for If the manure is worth haul
ing it is certainly worth preserving,
and the more carefully and thoroughly
this is done the better satisfaction will
be given. There is a difference be-
tween heating and fire-fanging. Iwant
manure to heat to considerable ex-
tent in order to destroy grass seeds
contained in it, and to hasten decom-
position. Horse manure treated as
above is the best covering and mulch
for strawberries that can find. AS to
swine, / think they are entirely out Of
place on large pile of heating horse
manure; they like to lie on it, but they
generally take cold from it, and it is
the worst place for them to lie down.
Roofing 1t over and exposing it to
the air is OF no benefit to the
manure. Where small quantities OF
manure are thrown out daily or week.
ly cattle tramping and lying down on
it will preserve it in the best manner.
compost nearly all the manure | use
and do not spread or pile any on land
that | want TO pillow early in spring,
until the ground is dry enough to
pillow; then having the manure at hand
and in good condition. a man can
spread half an acre and pillow it the
same day. If the manure is spread in
winter, it may be better for the land,
but it keeps the latter wet or heavy
too long in spring and renders it unfit
for early gardening. At least this is
the case with my soil unless the manure
has been perfectly rotten.-Cor. Rural
