stirring the Surface.

Upon this subject correspondent of
the Country Gentleman says that dur
ing the ,droughty spell of the past sea-
son interesting experiments were tried
with plat of cabbage. A portion was
hoed often and the soil fined deeply.
Another portion was kept fined an
inch, and the remainder was not dis
turbed except to pull out any weeds.
The crop on the deeply-stirred portion
made an excellent growth, on the shall
low-stirred about half the former, and
on that not stirred there is almost a
total failure. This not only proves the
wisdom of dust blanket" but also
that the blanket should possess thick
ness. As thick bed blanket is warm
err than thin one, provided both are
of the same material. SO thick dust
blanket" exceeds thin one in effect

Deafness Cannot be Cured

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have arumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is

unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
