According to a Belgian gentleman
now in this country, the territory OF
Moresnet, lying between Belgium and
Germany, is the smallest Government
in the world. 1t has a population OF
nearly 1000. The people are devoted
entirely to the tin mining industry.
There is no military service, and eiec-
ton days are things they never hear of.
There is Senate of ten members
who are appointed by the Mayor. He
gets his place by being appointed by
two delegates, one from Germany and
one from Belgium. The police force
consists OF one man. He is paid out
OF the annual revenue, which is about
LOO francs; this also pays for the
maintenance of the roads and the
schools. The territory was made in
dependent in 1916, to settle a dispute.
Germany and Belgium both wanted Il
on account of its tin mines. but neither
of them got it. The territory contains
trifie over two square miles OF
ground.--New York Tribune.

Frosted Combs.

Breeders of large combed breeds OF
fowls have more or less annoyance
from frosted combs if they do not pro-
vide warm frostproof abiding places at
night and even the daytime. A cock
eral will deliberately stand in some
poorly sheltered spot and allow his
comb to get frosted sooner than go
into warm house during the day.
His desire to stand around" must be
cut short. He must be restrained and
kept within bounds. 1t is a fact that
more combs get frosted in the daytime
than at nights, and it does not take
very long to frost them either.
When a bird gets its comb frosted it
needs immediate attention, or you will
have a sorry looking bird pretty soon.
To "draw out" the frost and cure the
bird is the question. Tie Poultry
News says:
We like the old method of annoint-
ing the comb and wattles with turpen-
tine and placing it in warm, dark,
dry underground cellar. This will
draw out the frost quicker than any
thing we have ever seen tried. To
heal the wound after the swelling has
subsidized we apply mixture of lard
and glycerin, half and half. Glycerin
applied to the comb and wattles is a
good preventive against frost and cold.
Feed whole grain and provide drink
ing cup that the bird can only get its
break into. II the bowels become
loose put a small quantity of ginger in
the water.

DEAFNESS cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have q
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 restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
