Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

hand hoe in a week. A day or two
after plant my corn l go between the
rows with cultivator, putting it down
as deep as possible. This mellows up
the ground for the corn roots. All the
the light harrow or weeder early and
often. Don't let weeds get big enough
to see. These tools will not hurt the
corn, as they run on the top of the
ground, while the corn is planted down
below the reach of their teeth. Where
there are many stones, trash, etc., you
may have trouble with some kinds of
these tools, but on such land as most
men grow corn there will be no trouble.
When you use cultivator run it shall
low.
Sanford corn planted either in hills
eighteen inches apart-or, better, in
drills, seeding at the rate of half a
bushel to the acre-has given me the
best results. l think farmers make
mistake who plant three feet apart,
putting in common field corn and then
partly husking it. Sanford corn will
grow two good ears to many stalks
when planted eighteen inches or less,
if the land is rich. And husking
doesn't pay. If you have carefully
read the Experiment Station reports
you have learned that. There is no
animal on the farm, unless it is little
chicken, which will not grind its own
corn cheaper than you can husk and
grind it. OF course corn out of the
slo is better for cattle to eat whole,
but they will masticate any unhusked
corn to good advantage, and the hens
will take care of what is left if they get
chance. But rats and mice get too
much of the corn if the ears are not
put into the silo. l have not seen a
rat in my barn since put solid stone
and cement bottom into my silo. l put
in large stones, then smaller ones, then
coarse gravel, then a coat of cement
and gravel or coarse sand, and then
finished with thin coat of cement and
fine sand. 1t is air-proof, waterproof,
frost-proof and rat-proof. 1t was not
costly either, as l made one barrel
of cement go over $50 square feet of
surface.
1 cannot speak of the value of clover
here, but l believe the coming dairy
feed will be whole corn silage and
early-cut clover hay.

Current Weekly Comment,

CoRN-Receipts, 904, 304 bushels; stock III
elevators, 1885, 37 bushels; exports, 42,00t
bushels. The market has ruled quiet with
prices lower in sympathy with the cost to
ship from the West.
EGGs.-Receipts, / barrel, 2S 1853 cases.
We have had another week of heavy re-
ceipts and very dull trade. Prices have
been steadily forced downward and are
now at about the lowest point on record.
Observation-Disclosures, 10000 bushels-not
very large, but receivers are getting all the
stock they can handle, and if there was any
thing to encourage shipments the supply
could be increased to almost any extent.
Demand is slack.
CHEEsE.-Receipts, II ,42l boxes ;'exports,
II 099 boxes. There has been but little
change in the condition of the market dur
ing the past week. Supplies of new are in
creasing, but are meeting with slow sale.
Old cheese is closing out slowly.
Wool. - Sales during the past week,
1885, 800 pounds. The market continues
very dull. There have been two large
saes-one on private terms, the other of
quarter blood combing at the lowest price
on record. Otherwise, there has been
nothing doing.
OATs.-Receipts. 1877 $3.50 bushels; stock in
elevators, 13,02S bushels; exports, H., 5S2
bushels. There is a quiet tone to the
market and prices are fairly well main
tanned, Buyers are meeting their daily
needs at ruling prices, but show little in
clination to stock ahead.
HAY AND RAw,-Receipts, 235 cars of
hay, s cars straw. Choice hay that is in
sound condition will command full prices,
the supply of such being small. On the
other hand, the market is heavily supplied
with low and medium grades and the de.
mand for such is dull, with prices weak and
in buyers favor Rye straw is in small
supply and steady.
spn
boxes-9S9 062 pounds; exports, 27S47
pounds There was steady demand and a
firm market following our last report and
only a moderate quantity OF fine stock was
carried over. AT the close the market is
not so active and the tone is not so strong as
it has been. There is fair demand, how
ever. Box butter in steady demand Prints
in full supply.

To Creamery Patrons.

The other day we met bright, earn
est butter-maker in one of the cream
cries of this county, and asked him
what the prospects were for ~Om-
ing season. He expressed himself as
being somewhat discouraged - not at
the price of butter, so much, as be-
cause of the fact, as he expressed it,
that he could not get his patrons to act
like intelligent men in the handling
and feeding of their COWS. These are
his words: 81 have been at work on
them for years to get them to under
stand something about true principles
in feeding a dairy COW, but have sue
ceeded very poorly. For instance, they
will come to me and complain at the
poor test give them of their milk, and
also at the small amount of milk they
get. Well, say to them, l am not
producing your milk If you will not
put any thinking or reading into this
business how can you expect to take
any profit out of it? There are lot of
you farmers who bring milk to my
creamery every morning and you do
not believe one word of all have told
you on the bad methods YOU use in
feeding your cows. You will pour the
corn into them just because corn is
cheap and plenty with you, until your
milk runs down in both quantity and
butter fat and your COWS are getting
fat. All this luck because you do not
believe in balanced ration, or in other
words, in feeding dairy cow as she
ought to be fed" He said further that
it was very hard matter to make the
average creamery patrons look into this
matter, as an enterprising dairy farmer
should.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Grow Corn.
BY j. W. NEWTON.

This matter has been often brought
before the readers of the WATCHMAN.
Corn is undoubtedly our most import
ant crop. One of the ways by which
Vermont farmers can make money is
by making butter. In fact it is the
only thing many of them can do. Given
land that will grow corn and clover,
good creamery convenient of access, or
skill in butter-making, with good mar
ket, and an intelligent man ought to
more than make both ends meet. But
ter is made from feed, and the dairy
nan must grow an abundance of cheap
feed to make dairying financial sue
cess. He can grow more cow feed on
an acre in corn than any other crop.
Extracts from dairy papers have been
printed in late numbers of the WATCH
MAN giving the actual experience of
men who keep COWS mainly on silage,
proving the great value OF this crop for
the daiiyman. 1t is not absolutely
necessary for the cOrn-grOwer to have
silo, but that is by far the most business
like way of handling the corn crop.
But if man has no silo and cannot
build one, he should not hesitate to
plant corn. Use fertilizer rich in
potash, or add muriate of potash to
your fertilizer, so as to get from one to
two hundred pounds upon an acre.
Use the latter, or larger quantity if
you have a light soil which you know is
benefited by wood ashes.
Don't be puttering around in big
cornfitld with hand hoe, but use
modern methods. A harrow with
slanting teeth, which YOU can make
yourself, or one of the " weeders," will
kill more weeds in an hour, if rightly
used, than you could kill with your

Cause of Billiards..

The sudden blizzard in winter and the
hot torrid days and nights in summer
may be attributed in great measure
to the destruction of the forests. Once
the kindly trees tempered the strong
winds and saved the people from the
glare of the sun. Now there are long
seasons of drought, where in other days
the trees took from the winds their store
of moisture, thus giving q more equita-
BILE climate.
