CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Feysr-6 Ne
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
eustachian tubes Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon a. Son, cor. of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris-

Washington as n Winter Resort.

Il want TO commend Washington as

had been extolling the G. g. o. and the
4. L. V. III is the best winter resort in
America The most interesting, the
most comfortable, the gayest, the most
beautiful. When Congress is in session
the capital is filled with the most distin-
guished people in America; not only
the members of Congress, the Govern
ment officers, and the foreign ministers
and their suites, but men distinguished
in letters, in art, in science, and those
yet more foted individuals, the leaders
of society, make Washington the polite
as well as the political capital of the
country. During the season there is
never week when half dozen lions
are not on exhibition in the brilliant
parlors and ball rooms of the most
beautiful of American cities. No for
eigncr of distinction who comes to
America fails to visit Washington. where
he drinks in something of the same in
toXicating social atmosphere that makes
Paris the delight of every visitor. In
deed, Washington is more like Paris
than any European capital is. The ses-
sions of Congress are always interesting
to men, women and children; whatever
the matter under discussion, there is an
active, vital, personal delight in seeing
and hearing the Congressman and SEN
ators at their work. The White House
receptions are eminently characteristic
of American life. and every American
should attend at least one OF them.
Scarcely the most obscure person can go
to Washington without finding acquaint-
ances and friends there, who can help
to make n visit pleasant But even If
these were lacking, the points of inter
est are numerous enough to occupy all
ones time. The Capitol the White
House, the Patent office, the Treasury,
the Smithsonian Institution, the War
Department, the Washington monu-
ment, the Corcoran Art gallery, the Ma
tional museum, the parks, the monu-
ments and statues, the innumerable
beautiful private houses. the perfect
streets, the historic places all about
Washington, make visit there not on
ly delightful, but almost necessary TO

A Parasitic Plant for Which Farmers

Mr.. A. r. Birdsill, Colorado, sends us,
says Farm and Fireside, asprig of alfalfa
covered with q delicate vine bearing a
profusion of white flowers, accompanied
with note as follows: "Please tell me
what the inclosed vine is. We found
one little bunch of it growing in our
alfalfa of last years sowing. Is it bad
to spread? Will it hurt stock to cat it?"
The plant referred to is species of
dodder (cuscuta), and belongs to the
natural order convolvulacee. 1t is a
parasitic plant and is only nourished by
its terrestrial roots until it becomes es-
tablished upon the host plant, after
which its connection with the earth is
broken, and 1T feeds upon the Juices of
the host plant.

has reason to complain about the lack Of
various tools to facilitate some operations
in our modern method of growing pota-
toes. We need, for instance, a single de-
vice for pulverizing the soil in the bottom
of the trenches. Rural New Yorker sug-
gests that perhaps such an implement
might be combined with shovel, pillow
and seed cover, and furnishes the
sketches shown in the cut to indicate
how tool might be made that would
answer the purpose.
The scariiier Gig. p should have four
or five strong tines or teeth; those on
the outside shorter than the middle ones,
and the whole adjustable to the beam of
a shovel plow as shown in Fig. /. 1t
seems that tool OF this kind drawn by
two horses, as a single horse would have
to walk in a furrow) could be used to
mellow up the soil in the bottom of a
trench TO considerable depth, and if
some fertilizer be applied below the
seed the tool would mix this up quite
thoroughly with the soil at the same
time.

Poultry Yard.
Moderately fat animals are the most

We not infrequently see it gravely
stated that the meat of the Chinese or
Asiatic breeds is "stringy and tough, or
that the flesh of this OF that smaller va
riety of fowl is very "tender and Juicy"
compared with that of some other kind
of poultry. This is all fallacious and a
groundless theory.
Wood ashes for the dust bath are not
SO desirable as coal ashes; in fact, they
cause sore feet if the birds wallow in
them much. The amount of pieces of
coal and burnt limestone the birds find
to eat in coal ashes is very great, and we
have noticed that hens which have free
access to a coal ash heap are almost al
ways in good health and are great layers.
Don't crowd your fowls in the hen
houses. Give them breathing room,
space to move about in, and ample roost-
ing accommodations. Your hens will
not lay well if you stive them up in close
quarters. They must have air, and be
so situated that their bodies will not
come in contact by night or by day, so
far as this is possible to be managed.
