FARM NOTES.

The Cur WoRM..-The cut worm
Ia an interesting subject. Whatever
anybody has to say about 1t will be
read by the average farmer with care.
We observe that an eastern writer says
that salt is no remedy. He says that
he has Kept the worm in salt. and that
it has lived and maintained a good
degree of health. We should be In
clined to doubt that If an apparently
truthful man had not asserted it. Come
to think of it, we doubt it anyhow
This writer thinks that the frost is the
best remedy for the cut worm. He
can endure the cold beneath the sur
face, but when he is turned up out Of
the ground where the frost can get
right down on him it soon ends his ex-
lstence. To clear field of cut worms
plow the ground in the fall as late as
possible, and leave the ground in the
rough furrow without narrowing. No
matter how much sod there be or how
heavy the soil, but few cut worms will
escape. However, to make assurance
doubly sure, cross-plow the Geld in the
spring as early as possible, so as to give
the frost another chance, and you can
put in your corn or early vegetables in
perfect security. The frost will not
only kill out the cut worms, but will
pulver;ze the clods and render the soil
easier of cultivation during the grow
Ing season. Fall blowing saves work
in the spring at a tiMe when the
farmer is anxious 10 hurry bis crops.
No farm upon which late blowing is
practiced is troubled with the cut
worm. 1t left alone, the cut WORN
gets out of the way of the frost long
before it appears, biE seldom goes
deeper than the plow, and II thrown
out late in the fall is unable to gel
back to safe depth. Sod land is mol
the only place for the cut worm Lei
all classes of soil be plowed. 1t will
be benefit even If no worms are pres
emit.
The writer will find people who will
not agree with him. He will find those
who will not believe that salt is useless
and he Will find those who will mo-
agree that fall blowing is a sovereign
remedy. But fall blowing will de
good.

CATARRHy
Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever.
A NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence OF living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eus-
tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be a fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
mulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made
at home by the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-For catarrhal discharges peculiar to
females (whites) this remedy is q specific.

is sent on receipt of ten cents by, A. III.

good buying, chiefly from shorts, started
market up and prices advanced 4Q$sc,
but again became weaker, declining l5sc
under renewed pressure to sell, promi-

with selling freely. About this
time reports were received of
export buying in New York and a ru-

A very fair business was reported in corn
