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-

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling

entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

GOAT HERDER'S HOUSE.
Just the Thing for Southwestern
Farmers Who Are Engaged in
the Angora Business.

Angora goats are great browsers, eat
ing off the leaves of bushes and trees as
high from the ground as they can reach
when standing on their hind legs with
their front feet up in the trees. Such
browsing gives a park-like appearance
to any area on which they are feeding
to any extent, and that is especially true
of the vicinity of their bedding ground.
1t is therefore of great advantage to

TONS OF GOLD IN SIGHT.
Rich Strike in the Penrose Mine Is
Causing wild Excitement in
LeadviIIc.

An excitement equal to any Leadyille,
Col. has ever experienced is now rag
ing in that camp. The phenomenal
strike in the Penrose mine is still the
all-absorbing topic, and everybody is
en- qui vive for additional particulars.
The interest is intensified by the re-
port made by several mining men who
visited the property. There are two
drifts running parallel, 25 feet apart, for
distance of over 200 feet.
Between these two drifts it is figured
that there is a solid mass of ore worth
not less than $4,000, 0G, 4ence the ex-
citement attending the discovery is
tuned to the highest pitch. Even this
represents but a small part of the min
eral in sight in the Home Mining COM
pany's group. A large body of iron ore
opened up in the Bon Air mine running
from 40 to so ounces of silver, from
which specimens of 50'tons day are
being made, is one of the company's
favorite prospects.
Each day the company that is caus-
ing all the talk is producing 200 tons,
and not a few of the ores run as high
as 600 ounces silver, with good lead val
ues. Only two months ago the stock of
the company could have been bought
for from ten to fifteen cents over the
par value of one dollar. Several thou
sand shares have since changed hands
at ten dollars a share, while a small
block went up to $12.
1t is confidently believed that the
paper will rise to $50 before the first
of the next month. Parties controlling
it are in no hurry to sell, seeing their
way to probable fortune. 1t has been
many years since Leadville has had
such mining excitement combined
with stock speculation. People who hold
from 100 to 500 shares of the Home
company stock bought at one dollar are
now reaping a golden harvest.

A farmer may be successful and grow
large crops, yet become poorer because
the land has lost its fertility. Every
thing sold from the farm is taken from
the land, and the supply must at some
time become exhausted. Rotation OF
crops. blowing under of green food and
the saving of manure will assist in re-
tanning fertility, but nevertheless much
leaves the farm that is never returned
unless the farmer buys something in
its place. Fertilizers should therefore
be used on every farm in order to keep
the farn TO its highest degree Of fer
fility.
