The Rose Hill schools opened Mon

The Rose Hill schools opened Mon
day morning after a two weeks vaca
ton, with Frank Souter at the head
as principal, and, by the way, one OF
the best instructors in the state of
Iowa.
The rural mail carriers from Rose
Hill are seeing lots of grief since the
snow storm, getting through drifts,
opening and closing gates and going
through fields to make their trips, but
they get here all the same.

DEAFNESS AND RINGING NOISES INV THE HEAp

II is folly for deaf people to waste time and money in the -
hope of a cure, by the old method of treating this annoying E#k@MM
trouble. That / have discovered a. practical and scientific WZNNWMH
cure for Deafness and Ringing Noises is demonstrated AH2NW
daily. Ringing Noises in the head are almost always found MAkN#W
Tn cases of deafness in the middle ear. The eustachean 80
tube becomes filed up with a thick substance 80 that the sound waves have
no exit, they Sing and hum and ring IS they pass over the obstruction in
their efforts to escape. IE
The Ringing Noises are due to the fact that the vibrations that get
into the middle ear have difficulty in escaping on account OF the partial
or total closing of the outlet from the ar. They have nothing else to do
but reverberate in the ear. But when the eus.eahean tube is opened, the
iankyiosis Of the bones of the middle ear removed, these vibrations pas.
through freely and there are No Ringing koses in the head.
It Ia difficult to describe these Ringing MoIses, but every one 80
afflicted knows this is as nearly correct as IFS possible to give it. How
annoying these Ringing Noises become. Every moment OF the day.
whether talking or listening, there is that constant Ringing koIee. The
loss OF hearing is bad enough, but the Ringing NoIsee make the matter
ten times worse. Those who arr deaf, those who are growing deaf az wei

SALT IN BUTTER.
"Gritty Butter" "OIottIes" and E6ec$
Of Sill u. ,lnt.l-nr nn-1....

Of Salt o. Market Quality.
Gritty butter" is a familiar phrase
used by expert butter scorers to indi-
cate that part of the salt is present in
an undissolved condition. Such IA con-
dttion of the salt in butter may be due
to o. poor condition of the salt before
1t is used; (2) adding 50 much salt to
the butter t6at it cannot properly be
dissolved by the amount of water in
it; 81 in some instances insufficient
working. When gritty butter is caused
by insufficient working mottled butter
usually results.
Gritty Butter as n Cause of Notifies.
1t is common opinion that if the
Balt in butter is not well dissolved
then the butter will become notified on
standing. If all the water has not been
saturated with salt and there is still
some undissolved salt left, then the
granular salt will cause notifies. This
has been known for long time, but
whether undissolved salt left in butter
after the water in the butter has been
saturated will really cause notifies
has been Il question of conjecture Ex-
periments at the Iowa station are said
by Messrs. Mckay and Lorsen to prove
satisfactorily that notified butter does
not always occur from undissolved
salt. If the butter is worked sufficient
ly to distribute the salt evenly in the
butter and to cause the water to be
saturated, then no notifies will result
from the presence of undissolved salt.
Butter Flavor Covered by Salt.
Owing to the degree of influence the
condition of salt in butter and the
amount of salt have upon the market
quality of the butter, it is worth while
to give this part of buttermaking as
much study and application of skill as
conditions will permit 1t might be
mentioned in connection with this that
comparatively poor butter seemed to
have a better sale when the salt con-
tent was comparatively high, while if
the butter were of the better quality
high salt content did not have the same
effect. This is undoubtedly due to the
fact that the poor butter flavors are to
large extent covered up by the salt,
while if the butter has a good flavor
no salt is needed to cover up defects.

Leeks may be grown in the same

should be blanched by deep planting
and subsequent embanking, something
after the manner of treating celery.

In the animal kingdom the birds
seem to be really the class most highly
favored by nature. Though they are
not placed near the summit of the line
of evolution, their ability to fly marks
them off as having some advantages
over nearly all the mammalia. Their
mysterious power of changing their
polarity or weight in order to dive in
water or soar in air has been often
discussed, and the almost incredible
velocity of their motion when migrat-
ing, sometimes amounting to four
miles a minute for vast distances, has
no parallel among other animals. In
addition. experiments with carrier
pigeons at night demonstrated beyond
doubt that these birds at least possess
a highly developed sense of direction
