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 constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube re toie ed to its normal
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

MINING NOTES.

Following the advice of the depart
ment of justice, an order has been
issued by the secretary of the treas
ury classifying ores chiefly valuable
for the zinc which they contain as
metallic mineral substances in a crude
state, under paragraph 1873 of the tariff
act, which pay a duty of 20 per cent
ad valorem. Silicate of zinc is free of
duty under section 514 of the tariff
act. Sulphides and carbonates will
pay a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem.
This ruling is the outcome of an ex-
tended contest between the zinc pro-
ducers of Missouri and the ore import
ers. 1t is understood that the import
ers will appeal.

GRAIN FOR COWS ON GRASS
In Opinion of Prof Thomas Shaw 1t
Pays to Use the Grain Ra-
ton in Summer.

Several experiments have been con
Quoted TO test the advantage Of feed
ing grain thus. The conclusions
reached were. that the grain fed when
grass was plentiful and while It was
yet succulent. did not bring any prof
1t over and above the cost Of the
grain. In some instances. as when
grain was fed in large quantities, IL
was said that the increase in milk
and butter fat did not pay for the cost
or the grain. The conclusion has gone
extensively abroad, therefore, that il
does not pay 20 feed COWS grain or
meal on grass. when the supply of the
grass is abundant
l am not prepared to accept such
view. Prof Shaw goes on to de-
clare in presenting hts views in the
Orange Judd Farmer II seems to me
II Is a conclusion reached without con-
sidering every phase of the question.
II the increased return in milk OF but
ter Tat pays for the cost Of the grain.
and no more. my contention is. that
In the end. such feeding is attended
with profit.
II the grain is thus paid for. one
saved. 1t Is only reasonable to sup
pose that for every pound OF dry mat
ter consumed in the grain. an equal
amount Of dry matter will remain un-
consumed in the pasture. This would
mean that the carrying power OF a
pasture is increased to the extent Of
the saving effected by feeding grain
A second item OF profit will prob
ably be found IN what is termed the
residual effect or the grain feeding.
This has been well brought out by
Prof Roberts, OF Cornell. Six COWS
were selected that had been given a
liberal allowance Of grain on pasture
me previous season. and six were al
80 selected that had been grazed in
the same field but without grain. All
were put upon pasture without grain.
The lot grained the preceding summer
produced 16 per cent more milk than
the other lot The heifers in this lot
IN milk also. made a better develop
ment than the heifers I'm the other.
This result Is in accord with the view
or many practical men on this CUES
ton.
A third item OF pront would arise
from the FERTILIZER obtained from the
grain Where wheat. bran and cot
tonseed meal were fed. the advantage
would be considerable from this
source. Putting these three items to-
gether. they should represent a sat
isfactory profit. even when the In
crease In milk production and butter
iat ala not more than pay the cost OF
the grain.

ANIMAL POINTS.

Poor care degenerates good stock.
Hogs are frequently made sick by
soap in the kitchen slop.
Hog feeds from restaurants and
hotels should be carefully looked over
for soap. glass and other dangerous
things.
We used to think we would not have
= separator as there was so much to
wash, but would not have cows with
out one now.
Keep the colts In pasture by them
selves. They viii run more flesh of
cows and sheep than you can put on
with the best OF feed.
There should be a good stallion In
every locality. Often he would have
TO be purchased by a horse breeders
association of local breeders.
The heavily padded collar Is all right
for heavy drawing in cool or cold
weather. but not the thing for a hot
summers day.
Keep big lump OF rock salt where
the cows can get at 1t every day. II
sailed only once a week they eat too
much at a time causing looseness Of
the bowels. II also retards digestion.
