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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets iniamed you have a
lumbling 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 de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inlamed condition of the mucous sur

Mr.. EDITOR: | herewith present
Il statement of the profits of turkey
raising for the year '96 at the High
land House farm. l wintered five
turkeys, four hens and gobbler, and
turned for cash 1881 and keep over
for '97 six hens and gobbler. This
l deem better, in these hard times
and low prices, than raising pork at
l.2 cents, wool IL cents, potatoes
no call for, and butter the same, UNI
less manufactured at the creamery,
and almost every other thing the far
mer has to turn in the same ratio.
Turkeys at Thanksgiving brought
from IA to 20 cents. Those who had
friends TO send to, thus getting rid of
commissions, realized the latter fig
ures. The investment to start with
is but little. One can generally buy
turkeys before fattened for Is cents
to S1.O0 piece. 1t requires some
little care while young to look after
them to see that they come up nights
and don't get drowned in heavy
showers. Hawks will occasionally
pick up little ones and foxes are par
ticularly fond of them whether old or
young. One got into my flock and
took thirteen little ones in one day
and one old one. We lost five after
nearly grown with what is called tur-
key cholera. This, l am satisfied is
caused by their being allowed access
to sink drains, Or drinking any filthy
water. They are great ramblers, one
serious objection with many to rails
ing them, but on large farm, dur
ing the season when grasshoppers
aud other insects rage, they fully pay
for all damages done to grass orgrain
by destroying those pests, the farmers
greatest enemies. l do not know
whether they will devour the army
worm, as | have never seen them on
my place. Let others give us OF
their experience, for it is by an inter.
change of ideas, on all topics of gen.
eral interest, that the masses are
benefited and educated.
