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 condition of the mu.
eous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inaamed you have 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 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed 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.

Black Knot IN Pluma-

Before warm weather comes all the
plum trees should be looked over, and
any that show marks of black warts
that indicate black knot should be re-
moved with a sharp knife and the
wound washed with carbolic acid So
luton or some other antiseptic. In fact,
it is a good plan to spray plum trees
with carbolic acid solution. made one
part of carbolic acid to 1000 parts of
water. This will remain on the spores
which are dormant during the winter
until they burst their bounds aad begin
to spread the disease over the trees.
The solution named is much stronger
than can be applied after the foliage
is in its tender growth.

ORCHARD COVER CROPS.
Their Value and Advantages OF
fciaIIy Recognized by the AEri-
cultural Department..

The growing of green crops in an
orchard should not be done with the
view of scattering crops for use, but to
benefit the trees as covering. The
agricultural department has given this
matter its attention and pointed out the
advantages i'll a special bulletin. y
cover crop, to serve as n blanket and
protect the soil, may be secured with the
use of mammoth clover, cow peas, buck
wheat. rye, crimson clover or anything
that will remain on the ground all win
ter. Cover crops, unlike those grown
throughout the season, do not, as rule,
niure the trees by drying out the soil,
and even where the weather during the
fall is normally dry, the injury is less
than in summer, since plants eTaporate
less water from their leaves in the cool
er weather and shorter days of fall than
in the longer and hotter days OF sum-
mer. Cover crops not only do not, as
a rule, dry out the soil injuriously, but
they also add directly to the moisture
holding capacity of the soil by the hui
mus formed in their decay, and they
hold much of the snow until it melts and
is absorbed by the soil. They are
also rarely as injurious as crops grown
throughout the entire season, and are
often beneficial because their growth
is made after the trees have stopped
growing and are maturing their wood
for winter. Trees make their greatest
growth early in the season, and there
fore require much less moisture the
latter part Of the season than earlier
in the year. In fact, in some local
tiles it is considered an advantage TO
cease cultivation by midsummer and
grow some secondary crop which will
check the growth of the trees and
cause them to mature before winter.
1t has also been found that wherever
cultivation or irrigation has been kept
up late in the season, and the ground
in a moist condition, with the trees
thrifty and growing, the frost did but
little damage.

A Double Hanging.

Washington, May 6.-The double
henging of William Strather and Chas.
Winston at the district Jail passed off
quietly. The two colored men started
for the scaffold just at noon, and seven
minutes later they were swinging
from the gallows.
Several ministers were with them
throughout the morning, and both
men neglected light luncheon sent
them by the warden in order to sing
and pray with their spiritual advisers.
Winston and Strather both sang on
the way to the scaffold.

The crimes for which Strather and
Winston suffered the extreme penalty
of the law were similar in the respect
that each killed a woman because OF
jealousy. Strather's victim was Rose
Talbot, who had left her husband to
live with him. The deed was COM
mitted with a Ratchet on October Is,

while in bed on December 13. 1897. He
at first claimed that his wife attempt
ed to kill him and then committed sui
eide. but at a second trial he admitted
having killed the woman.
