by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inilamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous ssrface.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

TO SAVE PEscH rs.
Pennsylvania Legislature TO be Asked to
Pass a Law.


Chambersburg, Feb. u. The growers
of the Blue Mountain peach belt of
Southern Pennsylvania and Maryland
have united In an effort TO stamp out
the yellows. the San jose scale and
other enemies Of the peach which
threaten to destroy some big orchards
here, and to this end have appealed to
the Pennsylvania Legislature for pro-
lection such as that now afforded by
the laws of Maryland. The Pennsyl-
yania law of 1897 puts in the hands OF
tonship supervisors the power to APP
point three commissioners to examine
suspected orchards and TO condemn and
compel the destruction of diseased
trees.
Tho objection to the law is that it
does not provide for expert examina-
| ton, and to remedy this Representative
Kreps OF this county has introduced a
bill at Harrisburg which provides that
the grower, whose orchard is con-
denlned, may appeal to the State Board
Of Agriculture for one of the experts in
the employ of the State to visit the
orchard, and assist the commission.
The townships must pay only the ex.
| pert's actual expenses, his salary and
other expenses being paid by the State.
The various State boards have ap-
proved the bill and it will doubtless be
come law. The big growers in this
section Of Pennsylvania still expect q
good crop Notwithstanding the bliz
yards big freeze.

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river
 bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas The
 bottom ands are moister and slightly mere fertile l if, indeed, it is possible to make comparisons
 where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific The uplandS or mesas are warmer and perhaps
 lightly for betterthe cultivation the citrus fruits Yuma contains variety of soil The valley land
 of theI Gila and Colorado rivers have for the most
 part deep sedimentary soil of brownish, gray
 san1y lOam, resting, in most places, upon a gray
 clay subsoil at a depth of from ten to twenty feet
 below the surface, The clay subsoil forms hard.
 pan which is impervious to water These soils have
 been slowly formed by the decomposition of shales
 sandstones, marls. limestones etc., mixed with or
 ganic and vegetable matter, washed down by the
 mighty rivers and have been gradually deposited
 during the course of centuries. The fertiizine
 brownish mud held in the wat tlof the Colorado and Gila rivers resembles that from the Nile, and its quantity varies from O1 to O.5 per cent
 though the water W hen even considerably discolor ed by mud is good drink, resembling in this res pect the Missouri river water. chemical analysis of the sediments of the Colorado and of the Nile exhibits wonderful similarity in the constituent parts of each That of the Colorado exhibiting a trihe less potassa, most phosphoric acid and car bonade of limestone beds through which the Colo rado passes In other respects the sediment of the Colorado is almost identical with that of the Nile It will be noticed, therefore, that when this water is used for irrigation it is superior to artesian waters since it is constantly supplying the land with the elements. The soil of the valley is extremely rich in dedomposed vegetable matter and uncombined carbon, readily absorbing the aerial gases such especially, oxygen, which en- -ering the soil, decomposes the organic matters so hat they can be taken up and nourish the plants which may be considered leading feature in 1t l ertity. It also readily takes up and retains moisture, while the Grmness of it's particles affords very facility for percoation and the activity of apillary action In ts mechanical composition it's particles in a state of very fine division which enders it more productive than coarser soils cqurics heat readily ill the daytime, and the loss the heat at night is very gradual so that it re- lains always warm and Is not subject to sudden { hangcs of heat and cold. Besides it's essential con- tituents of water, organic vegetable matter, and and clay, chemical anal ysis shows that lime, oda, magnesia, iron, ammOT a and available forms nitrogen, phosphorc acid and potash enter into { opposition in the proportions best adapted to
 d to it's fertility, though of course as is always ne case in soil analysis, it's composition varies in .foreDt localities and iS not always constant. ]

MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. Al the country north, east and south of Yuma lies 3irectly within the main gold belt that commences in Alasllf, and ends iH Mexico. From the San E"rHardino mountains in California t5 the Sonora boundary fine the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest
