Deafness Cannot Be Curea

only one way to cure deafness, and that il
BY constitutional remedies. Deafness i
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbline
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
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.

FARMER ANDPLANTER.
PITCHING THE CROP.
gently ON the Work for the
Coming Season.

This is most important fetaure of
successful farming. Perhaps more
men fail to make money farming on
account of carelcssness here than any,
where else. A crop well planned is apt
to pay. One badly planned or mis-
planned can never pay. If you plant
the wrong crop you will almost GER
tainly fail. If you plant the right crop
you can hardly fail at all. The
southern farmer ought to have learn
ed this long ago, but he has not learn
ed it well.
He plants crops of running water
and scratch blowing and gathers crops
of bald hills and gullies. He plants
too much cotton and gathers empty
cribs and high provision accounts.
He should plant greater diversity.
More provisions and less cotton.
The fact that the two past crops
were short and the price is now high
Is not due 10 wise planning on our
part. We planted enogh cotton to
make 100000 each year. But Provi-
dence came to our rescue and cut the
yields shot. The lesson is plain. Will
we learn it? win we profit by it? Or
will we go blindly on and risk the
consequences?
just here we are facing crisis.
The present prosperity is widespread
and may be made permanent or it
may be brought to sudden collapse.
IT we plant too largely of cotton, If
Providence favors us with good sea.
sons and we make very large crop,
the consequences will be far reaching
and fearful. The brakes would be put
on so suddenly that the whole train
would be in danger of being ditched.
An enormous yield and a return to
low prices would be calamity. Bet
ter put on the brakes now. Plan to
plant large crops of all sorts of provi-
sions and a small area of cotton. Al
ready the price of cotton is being held
down by the claim that the farmers
are buying more mules and gpano
than usual. Now if these are followed
by an increased acreage in cotton the
effect will be to lower the price even
in advance of the maturity of the
crop.
This is not idle speculation. 1t is
already at work. The southern cot
ton manufacturers are most of them
short of cotton to run on through
the year. This would help to raise the
price. But instead of this they have
decided to run a hand-to-mouth pol
icy through The summer, because they
believe we are going to plant an in
creased area of cotton. This they ar
que will enable them to buy cotton
cheap next fall, and so they will wait.
Now if we plant smaller area in
cotton the effect will be wonderful.
First, it will pu. up the present price
to where it ought to be, ~ cents. The
second effect will be high price for
the crop when gathered.
This third effect will be the great
est era of prosperity ever enjoyed by
the south. We hope every reader will
think, talk and act along this line.
Cut down the acres, run up the prof
its. A word TO the wise is sufficient

A little girl from Memphis who han spent
her life in the city went out to visit her
grandparents, living in the cor2.-y, during
the holidays, and, as usually happens in
such cases, the little city lady displayed her
ignorance.
The little girl, soon after her arrival in
the country, manifested great apprehen-
sion of being hooked by the cows about
the place. One day her mother told her
to 60 to a neighbor's home and carry a
message. The little girl started, but at
the gate she encountered cow, one of
the muley species.
In great excitement she ran back to her
mother, crying: "Oh, mamma, there's a
cow down there!'
The mother looked out of the window
and saw the meek-looking bovine.
"Why, daughter, that's muley cow.
She hasn't any horns and can't hook you"
But, mamma, exclaimed the child,
