DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unles the Inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
zen are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed 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. Send for circulars; free.

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of our dear faluher
Nathan Moore, who died July 22, 1900
aged Is years.
He suffered long but murmured Mot;
We watched him day by day
Grow less and less, with aching hearts
Until he passed away.
Had God asked, right we'll we know
We would have said, Oh! spare the
blow.
Yes. with streaming tears would say:
Lord we love him, let him stay
Calm lon the bosom of ItIhy God
Dear father rest thee now;
Even while with us thy footsteps trod
His seal was on THY brow.
Lone are the paths and sad the bowers
Since thy kind smile is gone;
But oh! brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is NOW thine own.

Large and Small Hens ~ Sittepss
Having in mind the idea that good
MANY autumn chickens will be
hatched, the question OF large and
small hens rs sitters il not unseasona-
ole.
While il i. a fact, l believe, based on
experience and observation, that q
small hen usually matches more chick
ems from n sitting of eggs than .
large hen, from an equal number. yet
il does not follow that large hens. al
sittcrs, should be condemned. Rather
investigate the way they are set and
see If the system should not be con-
ocmned first.
A larcc hen must have a large nest,
in order TO get good results from her
eggs, otherwise more or less breakage,
bad odor. and consequent bad hatch
will result. Her nest should not be
deer, nor too shallow, either. 1t must
be wide and shallow, to allow the large
hen ulenty of room in which to turn
sDout and move her feet; otherwise she
will, by her heavy weight. crush some
of the thinnest shelled eggs.
In hot weather the hens often half
stand over their eggs in order to cool
them, end push them out to one side,
too, during the hottest part of the day.
This is another reason why tie sitter,
whether large or small, should, at this
season, have ample space in her nest.
Get the chicks from the shell. then
cocp the hen in a shady place, where
the chicks can range about il good deal,
and they will thrive during the autumn
rs well rs in the spring-time.-Farm
and Ranch.
