Roads in Prairie States

In some sections of the country stone
and gravel cannot be obtained for road
building purposes. Under such circum.
stances it is necessary to resort to
grading and tile drainage, if there is a
season of heavy rainfall, so that ample
outlet may be provided for the surplus
water. This is all that can be done in
some prairie districts. In such locali-
ties the grade of the roadbed must be
raised above the surrounding level
properly crowned. and with due regard
to the contour of the adjoining ground
Road-grading machines are of great
value in accomplishing the work.-L. A

Fresh Meat for Hens.

Hens do much better if they can get
fresh meat through the winter and
various firms prepare dried and ground
meat for poultry food. In good many
sections there is always a supply on
hand that can be used for this purpose.
Rabbits are very common in a good
many places and as a feed for LAYING
aens they are success. One pound of
meat three times week for each 16

She was prim, close fitted looking young
woman in dark dress, and as she walked
through the Lincoln park ZOO with body
guard of ten mild little girls explaining mat

murmured with that tired feeling: ;,

She paused before the parrots cage, ad-
iusted her eyeglasses on her classic nose, and
prepared to enligten the innocent mind Of
youth.
These are parrots, girls. Mamie may

"P-a-rr-u-t," spelled one of the small
maidens.

Minerva, sereney.

birds, girls, have the power of articulation
and if carefully instructed are capable of al
most perfect ennunciation; but while pos
sessng this gift of mimicry, they have no
reason to guide the import of their utter
ances as the human consciousness has, and
consequently are unable to converse intel
ligently, being simply echoes so far as speak
ing is concerned
The big green and red parrot stood on an
other leg and eyed Minerva with microscopic
scrutiny.

state they are as other birds; but upon be-

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 condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a 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 it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
lime cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an iniamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

General lassifude,

kidneys, the liver, the lungs and tho
bowels. The blood becomes impure for
one or both Of two reasons:
First, something impure has been put
into it; Second, the five excretory organs
have not been sufficiently active.
Owing to its complicated formation, the
blood Is liable to many morbid changes.

in perfect working order, so that impurities
are retained, the blood becomes disordered
