A New Ise for HnrRea.

At the county seat of Highland Coun-
ty, Ohio, says the American Agricul-
turist, there are monthly stock sales,
where every kind of farm animal may
be sold. At the last sale some gypsy
traders drove in twenty-eight head of
broken down, wind-broken, string halt
ed spawned, hoof-bruised, blind and
wretched beasts, and the lot was sold
to one Dolch, engaged in making fer
tilizers. He bought the month before
nineteen head for 1872. 1t should be
said for the county that very few of
these horses were natives. Most of
them were what are called plains
horses-bred on the Western ranches.
The hides of these beasts are worth to
the buyer 1925, and the bones, grease
and tankage as much more. He is de-
serving of a good profit for ridding the
State of such uncanny brutes, and put
ting their carcasses to some good use.
Are we to pity the ranchmen and far
mers who breed such scrubs, or must
we deniounce them as unworthy sons of
the soil, and a disgrace to land that
has the climate, soil and feed which
can produce the best horses in the
world? How much has the trolley car
to do with the degradation of the horse,
that his price is less than that of the
OK or hog? The price of choice saddle
and carriagehorses is yet high, and so
long as men love display and comfort
ithe handsome saddle and carriage
horse will bring price that will pay
the skill of the breeder and trainer and
the outlay of the farmer. Good horses
are yet profitable. Scrubs never were.
and now the trolley and it's possibilities
are sending his carcass to the tank and
his hide to the tannery.

Only the small capitalist whose cap.
ital is threatened, or the working man
whose employer shuts down his fac
tory, can fully appreciate the blessing
of IN assured living, however humble,
for those dependent upon him. Own
ers of small farms are sure Of this,
when farm plans do not call for much
hiring. Daily labor for the owner and
his family can be found, even if the re-
ward seems small, and at the worst the
reward is abundant good food, healthy
home, liberty of action and freedom
from much worry.
The fact that towns and cities are
feeling the effect of hard times, and
that many town people are having
harder struggle than formerly, does not
make our lot better, but it does lead us
to see that, comparatively speaking, our
lot is not undesirable. Viewing the
matter broadly, there is no reason for
desiring to leave the farm, and if, in
the future, more prosperity is to come
to our towns and cities, we may rest
assured that we will secure it first, as it
is our surplus money that, in great
measure, makes business good in cen
ters of population. Tough as times
are, the farmer, to-day, stands on surer
ground to extract solid comfort out of
this life than the average resident of a
big city. His reasons for cheerfulness
are greater, and they are good substan-
tial reasons.
We hope that the reading of these
different views of the situation will
help to encourage our farmer readers,
and persuade them to hold on a while
longer.

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 inhamed 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 1t 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 inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Dairy Notes.

A LARGE COW on the dairy farm is
more expensive to feed and adds to the
cost of the butter.
ONE of the regulations of the Hi
nois State Board of Health is that dairy
cows shall be cleaned every day.
THE best farm institutes are held in
the dairy sections. That speaks well
for the intelligence of the dairymen.
THIRTY-Two states in the Union now
have laws prohibiting the sale of oleo-
margarine when colored in imitation of
butter.
THOROUGHLY wash the buttermilk
out of the butter as it comes into the
churn and the butter will not become
rancid so soon.
New YORK CITY consumes over
three-fourths of million quarts of milk
per day. Last year the daily average
was 76S,560 quarts.
GOOD feeding should not be governed
by the price of dairy products. Neither
should the enthusiasm of the dairymen
fluctuate with the market. Consistency
is needed in both cases.
THE COW that leaks milk may be
helped by touching the end of the
leaky teat with collodion each time af-
ter milking. This dries quickly and
draws the oritice tightly together.
AN unfailing test of an easy mixer is
fiat ends in the teats. Cows having
fat-ended teats milk easy, the outlet
being large; those have pointed ends
to their teats milk hard, because the
outlet is small, and much squeezing is
done TO force out the milk.

The year 1891 is also included to
show the effect of an enormous crop of
wheat, with surplus left over, on prices
in 1892, and the immediate effect of
large perishabe potato crop on it's sell.
ing value. There is actual increase of
value in 1892 over 1878, in corn, rye,
oats and potatoes, while wheat would
have It'll remained higher with normal
crops in 1891 and 1892.
Prices remained steady, except as in
fuenced by changing volumes of pro-
duction, tor a long and prosperous
period, until shaken confidence and
Rugged and boarded cash cheapened all
marketable goods. With return of
confidence, which is sure to come,
prices will advance and depend again
alone upon the ordinary action of the
laws of trade, and the farmer will shake
off the nightmare of apprehension and
despairing fear which now adds tor
lures to the labors and difficulties which
