Now Cure for Deafness.

The vibromcter is newly invent
cd instrument for the cure OF deaf
ness. The principle Of It's operation
is the massage of the sound, conduct.
ing apparatus of the ear by means OF
Migratory forces. BY this method yart-
Gus conditions can be relieved which
could not be reached by the regular
modes OF treatment, and which are
the principal causes of deafness In q
very large proportion OF those afilict-
ed. The photograph has been used
for this purpose, and although It's
adaptation was effected In n very
comparatively crude manner, the re.
suits attained justified the belief that
an instrument cmbodying special i'm
provemcnts on the same lines would
be Of the utmost value. Such an in
strument is the vibromctcr, and so
successful has been 1t application
that many persons whose deafness
was from five to fifteen years stand
ing can now. through its use, hear
ordinary conversation from ten to
twenty feet away with their backs
nrned to the speaker and others
With ncver-ccasing noises In their ears

ruE MANAGEMnNr OF MANURE.

Experience shows that manure us COM
monty kept in heaps or scattered around
in barnyards loses largely in volume and
value. As soon as it begins to Torment
it loses some of its substance in the form
of gas, aud too often there Is additional
loss from drainage, which proper care
might have prevented. For this reason
the belief has been constantly growing
that a larger proportion of the useful
constituents of animal manure can DO
utilized by incorporating it in the soil
as thoroughly MS passible while it is
fresh, than by leaving it to undergo de-
composition through fermentation and
exposure to atmospheric influences. AS
some one has expressed it, manure never
contains more fcrtilizing elements than
might be added that nowhere can these
elements be better preserved than when
mixed with the soil they arc to fertilize.
OF all the manurcs, TINT from tho
horse-stablo is unquestionablY subject to
the greatest loss from fermentation in
uncarsdfor heaps. whether i'll tho barn
yard OF fields. Especially must this be
true of manure hauled out in summer
from town stables, unless its fertilizing
properties are soon locked up in the soil.
This is 50 well understood by most
farmers that heap of are-fanged horse
manure is considered by them to have
lost large proportion of its value.
From fertility absorbed by tho soil
vegetation may be expected to receive
some benefit, while whatever is dissolved
in the air will be lost.
AS against summer mado stable
manure it may be said that, owing to the
fields being Mt that time generally under
cultivation, it is often more difficult to
place il where it is most wanted, or to
preserve it from loss than is the case in
winter and spring.
Manure that has been rotted until it
has become black mass can be moro
evenly distributed and moro easily
worked into the soil, and is worth more,
weight for weight, than when fresh.
1t is, however, to be considered that it
is then the residuum of what was
originally much larger quantity of
newly made manure.-New York World.

WEEDS AS rEnrrL1zEna.

A number Of experiments have been
instituted at the West Virginia agricul.
ture experiment station with view oil
determining the actual average value OF
compostcd weeds as fertilizers, upon the
basis of the commercial value of their
mineral constituents. From on account
of the results of the experiments given
by G. F. Millspaugh 10 Science It an.
pears that of the fifty weeds gathered
each has certain value, according to its
species, yielding nitrogen, phosphoric
acid, and potash, and, from the figures
given, the conclusion is arrived at that
weeds properly composted should be
worth about $3.50 per ton.
"These values are, of course" Mr..
Millspaugh says, computed upon a water
free bosis, while the farmers would gather
with his weeds about fifty per cent. oil

ever, proved that proper composing,

removes the weeds from his lands and
roadsides, thereby decreasing the annual
production and continued presence OF
the same; that if he thus relieves his
fields of the trash, giving more room for

An Insect Terror.

A strange spider, it is reported, has
appeared ia great numbers in the low
lands aud valleys about Hermosillo,
Mexico, and is giving the natives great
alarm. 1t is peculiarly ferooious aud
manifests no fear of anything, not hesi-
tating to give chase to men who disturb
it. 1t is considerably larger than the
tarantula, common in those regions. and
is terribly poisonous. Three deaths
have been lately reported from its
bite. 1t is hairy insect and has
legs as large as a pipe stem. 1t
runs with remarkable agility, and climbs
the stick or whip toward the hand of any
one who strikes at it. 1t is newcomer
to the section, and so far no one has been
found who has seen it before. One of
the deaths was that of Mexican who
was riding along and saw one of tho
spiders. He struck at it with his whip,
and before he could drop the whip the
spider was at his hand and had bitten
him. He died within three hours in
great agony. The spiders hop along the
ground in great leaps toward the object
of their attack. New Orleans Picayune.

ErrEcr OF puLL1Nc ropprn.

Stripping the leaves from the standing
stalks of corn while in their best green
condition is quite common practice in
some sections of the country. When
properly cured and bound in bundles
they make excellent winter fodder, and
1t is generally considered that the pulling
of the leaves causes no decrease in the
production OF grain. To test the ques-
ton of loss or gain experiments were
made on sixteen plats of the Georgia
station. From onc-half of each the
leaves were stripped and the fodder care
fully cured and dried.
The plats from which the blades were
stripped yielded 1873 bushels of shellcd
corn per acre. The unstripped plats
gave a yield of 27.3 bushels per acre, n
loss of ia bushels as the result of pull
ing the fodder. But the yield of fodder
was 21O pounds per ncre, at n cost for
pulling and curing of eighty-one cents.
In other words there was loss equal to
1904 pounds of corn and gain of 27O
pounds of fodder.
From the above and similar trial
preceding it, the conclusion is reached
that the strongest argument against the
practice is the mea9re results in fodder
compared with the amount of labor in.
volved. The same labor employed in
moving grass or any good forage crops,
eveh without the use of improved har-
vcsting machinery, would yield vastly
greater results.-New York World.
