The Photograph and Deafness.

When Edison invented the photograph
he used the human ear as guide, and the
construction OF that machine involved the
mechanical design upon which the ear Is
fashioned. Probably he had no idea of APP
plying the invention to the cure of deaf
ness, but science has begun to do that. A
well-known Washington physician Is a be-
lever in the photograph as a remedy for
that atfiIction. Experiments at home
strengthened his belief, and he introduced
the photograph into his practice. A few
days ago he made some experiments in New
York city at the Office of the New York
Monograph Company. Deafness in mos {
cases. the doctor says, comes from cetarrh
The passage from the throat to the ear be-
comes choked and coating forms on the
bones Of the ear which interferes with vibra-
ton. AS this coating thickens and
hardens the vibratory power becomes
less, and when it ceases the func-
ton or the ear drum is suspended. The
doctors idea Is that vibratory force applied
to the ear by means of a photograph must
quicken the ear drum and affect the coat
ing OF the inner bones Gradually this
coating must be dislodged. and with the
completion OF that process hearing will be
restored. This may happen In the majority

The intensity of the vibrations is under the
control of the operator, 80 that treatment

is said to be pleasant to the deaf. To per-
sons of normal hearing the sounds rum BILE

Musical cylinders are not suited to the treat
ment, although IN certain cases bugle calls,
cornet solos and The chimes of loud bells
may be used to advantage.

Planning Work Ahead.

To get the best results out of agricultural
work of all kinds it must be the result of
thought and certain amount Of planning
before actual time for working arrives
No one who has had any experience need
be told that some of the best work ON the
farm, garden and orchard, etc., is done in
the fall and winter. and 1t becomes neces-
ssry to study out in the summer and arrive
at a positive conclusion exactly what one
intends to do in the fall il he would have
himself in a good state of preparation for
the work when the time arrives for him to
do it. From September to December much
Of the most profita BILE work of the year is
done, or can be done by the farmer and
trucker in southern ATTITUDES
During the period covered by the above
montbs-Septembe to December-is the
most appropriate time for setting out fruit
and nut trees, hedge plants straw berry and
raspberry plants. the sowing of small grain.
the seeding down Of new pastures ana mead
ows, the planting of several of the leading
vegetables grown by market gardeners and
truckers, such as spinach, asparagus, onions,
cabbage. Ia fact, it is only those who un-
derstand the value Of fall and early winter
paintings that can make the best results in
fruit, grain and vegetable growing.
The harvesting OF the 1all-made crops
may cause much of this work that should
be done in the fall to be neglected, IN
less one does some good planning in the
summer and SO be prepared to commence
upon it ct the earliest possible moment
taking care, of course, not to make a begin
ming too early.
BY studying the catalogues and engaging
in the necessary correspondence now with
the parties that supply the seeds, plants
and trees that you will need this fall, you
can get just what you want in due time for
planting out, all the fruit or nut trees, small
fruit plants, grapes or Strawberries, rasp-
berries, oat and rye seed, grass and clover.
vegetable seeds. ....
Any OF our readers who need any assist
ance in reference to the selection Of varie-
ties of any Of the plants mentioned, or in
formation as to where they can be procured
should send their inquiries in due time.
We shall be glad to help them in any way
we can and with no peculiarly interest in
yolved on our part.
Our southern farmers must in the future
be made to show a much greater diversity
than they have in the past If our farmers
would live at home aud be happier. Be-
sides the cotton and corn and little small
grain there must be good pastures and
meadows, fruit trees, nuts, grapes in a rea-
sonabe proportion. You should make
some little departures this fall, and by add
ing some of the things mentioned add
yearly something to the value of your farm
as home. 1t will be we'll for you to think
about it during the summer and be ready to
act in the fall

the animals cannot digest and assimilate it.
Tho same is true Of all the other highly con-
csntrated foods. They generally clog the
appetite and prevent the highest results
Ashes and salt come in as splendid articles
to prevent such disastrous result They act
as tonics and medicine. clearing the system
OF effete matter. and giving strength and
tone to all of the internal organs. 1t is
probable in this way that ashes help the
pigs. They act directly upon the digestive
organs, but really add nothing to the body.
II corn Is making the pigs pulled up and
their appetite is poor, a liberal supply Of salt
and ashes should be given at once. Hard
wood ashes Of the best quality should be
used for this purpose. as they seem to give
the best results. The sshes and salt should
be administered in equal quantities, either
with the food or kept in separate vessel In

inclined

Salt and Ashes for Figs.

Animals that are confined in close quar-
tiers and fed on concentrated food always
require certain mineral elements which nat
ure supplies to them in the fields and woods,
says the American CnLtiuator. The need
which pigs have for salt and ashes is we'll
known, but it is not SO generally practised
and lived up to. When the pigs are roam
ing about the fields and woods they do not
need the ashes, but when confined Ia their
winter quarters and fed concentrated food a
weekly supply of wood ashes will be
of inestimable value to them. We have not
vet found out exactly what element in the
ashes they desire. whether it is the charcoal,
lime or potash, but it is certain that the
ashes themselves are very beneficial.
One of the benefits OF feeding them ashes
is a better appetite for their rations OF meal
and fodder. They eat more and steadier
aud their food Is better digested and assimi.
lated. Experiments at the stations with a
great number of pigs have proved this fact
beyond dispute. Salt does not entirely take
the place OF ashes, for where food, water
and salt were given In abundance. and the
ashes omitted, the pigs did not take on as
healthy a growth. Where both we're omit
Ted the animals became sickly, and seemed
TO want something which the food and water
could not supply.
Corn is a very rich food, and it goes to
meat and muscle in a way that no other
food does when fed to pigs, but its very
richness often clogs the system and pre-
vents the best results. The stomachs OF

STRANGE THINGS IN LIFE.

" ad of Paper Money.
From the Chicago Herald.
To the fact that he carried large wad of
paper money In the inside right hand

avenue owes his life! he was standing in
the Office of the Eagle Portrait Company,
$50 Ogden avenue, Monday afternoon about
o'clock, talking loudly TO the proprietor,
J. D. Trafton.
"You are liar and a scoundrel," shouted
Mr.. Overmyer, fiuging the cigar he had
just lighted through the open door far into
the street. land | can prove it"
The only answer to this was a revolver
shot fired pointblank at Mr.. Overmeyer's
breast.
"Shoot again, you coward. 1 am not
afraid of your gun; served four years in
the army aud have smelt gunpowder before,
you scoundrel."
These words were delivered in a calm,
deliberate voice. as though talking simply
with friend. and he stood quietly facing
the excited portrait painter. who stood not
three feet away holding a revolver in his
hand pointed square at the doughty coll
onel's breast, his foreAnger on the trigger.
Mr.. Overmeyer was apparently not the
least excited.
"Shoot, you scoundrel," he reiterated,
land take better aim this time; that first
shot Of yours was a terribly poor one"
This remark was too much for his assail-
ant and the book dropped from his nerve-
less hand and fell to the floor, and Trafton
sank back pale and exhausted in the office
chair. At this moment one Of the barten-
ders in the saloon next door, having heard
the shot come rushing in. Mr.. Overmeyer
began 20 tell the story, when the bartender
happened to see a small hole in his coat and
told him that he was shot.

on examination he found that the bullet had

hundred dollars in greenbacks and in the
center Of the package the bullet was lodged.

Fall Flowing.

Fall blowing is good thing on general
principles, says the Western Rural. 1t ex-
poses insect life to destruction and presents
the soil to the benefit that comes from alter
nate freezing and thawing. II plowed
properly, too, with a sufficient number of
dead burrows that the water may drain it,
it will be ready for spring planting much
earlier than the same land would be ready
II 1t were not plowed in the fall. We all
recognize the necessity of planting as 9 arly
as possible. The early planted crop-if
planted in dry, warm soil-gets an early
start and grows out of the wav of the sum-
mer's drought. But laud that is wet cannot
be planted, and there is no drainage at all,
we must wait for the sun to slowly evapor-
ate the moisture and afterward to warm the
land. Millions of dollars are sometimes
lost IN single section of country, because
the land is too wet to be worked until it is so
late that crops cannot escape the drought
But so far as the garden is concerned, fall
blowing has one great advantage, and that
Is 1t certainly cleans up the garden and de-
stroys the rubbish that is not only unsightly
but is harbor to insects. 1t will not do to
say that this could be accomplished by rak-
ing up and burning the rubbish. 1t could
be accomplished to degree by that method
If men could be induced to adopt it. But
unfortunately good many people cannot
be persuaded to burn the rubbish of the
garden. We plead guilty to that sort Of
neglect in our own experience. 1t is a fact
that you can induce men to pillow much
easier than you can induce them to make a
bonfire.
