Deafaess Cant be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is anly one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed con-
dition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inaamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing viii be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by TAX
ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars; free.

ert.es, and owns sheep stations in both
Queensland and New South Wales, each
of which is larger than Bavaria. Mr.. Al
.lison of New South Wales has an area
larger than Belgium in two of his adj
joining stations.
GREASE on CHICKS.
Donot grease chicks if it can be avoided,
as too much grease is injurious, and never
use coal oil. If the large lice are found,
use lard or sweet oil, the oil being pre-
ferred. Ten drops of the oil of penny
royal may be added to q large tablespoon
Iul of the oil, and with the finger rub one
or two drops only of the oil well into the
down of the neck and head of each chick.
CENTER FOR CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Minneapolis is fast coming to the front
as great distributing center for Califor-
MIA fruit, and the trade is growing there
more rapidly than many other branches
OF business. We are informed by the
Commercial Bulletin that 9, 442, ,70l pounds
of fruit were received there during the
first four months Of the present year, be-
ing ,G57, ,707 pounds more than for the
corresponding months of last year.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Something else than rich soil is neces-
sary TO secure large crops. The principal
adjunct to success is cultivation. The
soil must be well worked. Muscle and
brains are required on all soils and in all
sections. A soil that grows crops lux
uriantly also produces its full quota of
weeds.
The horse that can walk as last as five
miles an hour Will be worth more than
the fastest trotter, SO far as practical use
Is concerned. While the attempt is being
made to get the trotter inside Of two min
utes III speed careful breeding may also
bring the walking horse inside OF twelve
minutes per mile.
1t is estimated that the value of bananas
brought into the United States last year
was y, 200, ,000. The Increase in this trade
may be seen from the fact that in 1881 the
Illinois Central Railroad hauled out of
New Orleans only so cars Of bananas,
while ten years later it hauled over 5000
cars Of that popular truit.
A crop of straw berries will produce
more bushels per acre than VIII any kind
OF grain. AS much as 200 bushels of
Strawberries have been picked from an
acre. Something depends on the kind OF
soil, variety and care, however. The OBJ
lect should be to compel the land 10 pro-
duce the maximum amount.
Turkeys cannot be proIitably fattened
in cOninement: when they are cooped
up they almost invariably lose in weight.
The best way is TO keep them growing
from the shell, and when cool weather
comes in the fall give them extra rations
OF mush made OF boiled potatoes and
cooked cornmeal, with plenty of whole
corn ut night. Plenty of sour milk helps
the fattening process along wonderfully.
There are three classes of sheep-the
long woods, middle woods and fine wools.
To the long woods belong the Cotswolds,
Lincclns and Leicesters. The middle
woods (which are considered the best
breeds for nluttOnl are the sIDOWnS -
known as the Oxford, Shropshire and
Hampshire Downs, and including the
SOuthdown. The Merinos are the fine
woods.

CALIFORNIA WINES.

California will soon lead all nations or
sections in the production of wines and
brandies, says the Chicago Tribune. ex-
cepting, of course, France, and its north
ern counties are sending out light, dry,
red and white wines that only contain
from l to 3 per cent. more alcohol than
the vim ordinaires of Bordeaux and the
hooks of Germany and Hungary These
cheap CALIFORNIA; are being sold al many
of our principal hotels and restaurants.
whose proprietors themselves buy in bulk
and bottle and are too honorable TO adul-
terate), and demonstrate that these invit-
ing and perfectly proper and harmless
stimulants or beverages are pressing their
honest way into public favor. From
Southern California come the ports and
sherries and madeiras and other excellent,
heavy, sweet wines, which, while they
may not yet rank in taste and bouquet
with the imported and manufactured
ones, are absolutely pure and exceedingly
medicinal and stimulative. No one who
has investigated this matter as l have, and
who knows positively that not one bottle
of still French wine in 500, which lands
in New York, has not been sophisticated
or tampered with in some inSidious artis-
tic way, need be ashamed to entertain his
guests with the wines of America. Apro-
pos, it Is curious fact that during the
years when so many thousands of vine
yards of France We're destroyed by the
phylloxera, that country sent out increas-
ing quantities of wines.
