Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness: and that is by con-
stitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused Ivy an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you haye a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever nine

COSTLY NEW YORK PAYMENTS

Greater Number Are Asphalt-and
Call for Frequent Repair.
The first asphalt pavement was
mt down in Washington In 1878,
and q year later New York tried one
short block of it. 1t was not until
1888 that any great amount OF the
then new pavement was laid, but for
the past ten years New York has
spent more than $2,OOO,ooo for
asphalt alone. The wood block pave
ment was tried in Chicago as tar
back as 1873, and the experiment at
tracted considerable interest. AL
though at the present time asphalt
pavements are probably the most
common In use, there are places
where the bituhthic, the wooden or
granite block or brick should IN
stead be chosen without moments
hesitation. At present the subject
Is an extremely broad one, upon
which a great deal of technical writ
ing has been done. To say that IL
pays for city to nave eoou pay ihs
is merely an axiom. At present the
question is rather what good pave
ment is. And the answer to this va
ries not only according to the trafflc,
the latitude and longitude, but. even
other atmospheric conditions, An
other important consideration after
the good pavement Is down Is TO
keep it in repair and to keep it clean.
The common American custom is to
wait until practically the whole
structure goes to pieces and then to
lay new one. The European prac-
tice is to keep repairing all the time.
If an inch of pavement becomes
fractured or in any way out OF re-
pair, 1t is remedied at once.-Good

Random Horse Notes.

In Judging a horse always begin
with The feet. Look carefully up
from each foot to the knee or hook
before you look any higher. In
selecting horse get feet, fetlock
and feather. The top may come
but the foundation-never.
A horse is like man in som~re.
Spects- he likes and enjoys good
company, and plenty of it. Don't
sentence your horse to solitary con-
finement. Give him each day with
his feed goodly portion OF petting
talk and gentle handling. There s
no danger of overlooking him on
this, yet on some farms it is very
rarely given.
A stallion should be exercised
enough to keep him healthy. 1t
don't hurt him to use him il the
wagon, pillow or harrow out of sea-
son. SO long as he has good ap.
petite and does not show signs OF
fatigue the work will keep his
muscles good and hard and well de-
veloped.
The same can be recommended
for brood mares with foal. How
eyer, judgement NJ ust be exercised.
It is not advisable to overdo and
make her work excessively hard.
The average ranchman OF the West
expects 80 to % per cent. of living
foals where the bree ding stock run
at large and Craze OH a wide range
and yet haye to take great
amount of exercise to get it and
water, The farmer in the North
west does not expect more than ~
per cent of his mares to produce
living foals. We must remem Der
that in caring for breeding stock
the closer we get to natures way
the better the result.
The three great barriers to good
sales of horses raised upon our
farms are lack of flesh, lack of
handling and lack of training.
From 3 years old the horse should
work on the farm until sold. This
can easily be accomplished with
the dwft colt, but the production
Of the salable carriage horse calls
for finer work than is furnished
upon many farms. If high pric-
ed horse is produced it is the result
of careful handling and good driv-
ing, for this horse must be good
hammered and kindly disposed as
well as of attractive appearance

Crushed Stones for Roads.


In our trip through Ohio, says a
writer in Indiana. Farmer, we fire.
uuently noticed long piles Of lime
stone in irregular sized blocks along
the road side. They were gathered
on the hill sides and hauled there
by the farmers, to be crushed for re-
pairing the roads. After the thrash
ing is finished the traction engines
are hired to run the crushers, and
these long piles of stone are soon
put in shape to keep up the fne
roads that are so common through
out the Miami valley. Prof. Batch
ley, State Geologist, says: my expe-
rience has been that, in the long run.
the crushed stone road, If properly
made, is far superior to the gravei
road. The stone road wears down
more evenly, and will outlast the
best of gravel roads. That is, al
ways, of course, If the stone road Is
properly made.
I'm the first place, the roadbed
shauld be ten inches deep. The lower
six inches should be of the larger
stones, though these should be OF a
size that would pass through two
inch screen. The upper four inches
should be smaller stone, that which
will pass through an inch or an inch
and a half screen. This should be
packed with steam roller, and with
proper drainage at the side this Will
make an excellent road. II good rock
is available, that is, within hauling
distance, the cost will be about
$4,000 a mile"

Fertilizers for Asparagus.

Recent bulletin from Washington
states that the common fallacy, that
salt"is an essential fertilizer for this
crop Is no longer adhered to by mod
ern growers. The natural habitat
of asparagus Is the seashore, and 1t
was reasoned therefore, that salt was
beneficial to 1t. In modern CONNER
cial practices beds Of asparagus have
yielded as well without salt as with
it. Salt, of course, aids in prevent
Ing the growth of weeds, but 1t is
believed that except In the small
garden patch, where intensive cul-
ture is practiced and where large
AMOUNTS Of stable manure are ap-
piled each year, It may not be espe-
cially useful in the field culture OF
asparagus.

WatChman Shot

Monday morning OF MIR
VIM II CARRIER which occurred at
Putnam's Organ factory about
1890 o'clock. Mr. Charles Lohr,
the regular night Waterman, was
off on vacation, and Mr. CARRIER,
who was employed by the factory
was taking his place, having begun
Saturday night, 4,
About the hour mentioned Mr.
CARRIER was making his rounds and
when near the boiler room with a
lantern in his hand he was shot.
The first he realized of the trouble
was feeling the shot,a as a ball enter
ed above his left hip from the back
and came through his body. beng
afterwards cut from the right side
of his abdomen.
-Four shots we're fired, another
ball entered his shoulder. Mr. Gar
Der in the meantime drew his pis-
tol and shot his assailant who then
turned on him, probably with the
handle Of the pistol which was a
81 calbre aud cut and bruised Mr.
CARRIERS head seriously. The
would be murderer fell when first
shot but soon recovered. Mr. Gar
Der crawled to Mr. Charles O'Don-
nell's between the e. & 0. and b. u
@. tracks, which was nearby and
aroused the household. Assistance
was summoned and Mr. CARRIER was
taken to his home on Kalorama
street where Drs Gibson, Catlett
and Payne attended to his injuries.
Mr. Putnam had him removed to
the Kings Daughters hospital
where these physicians, with the
addition Of DR. Henkel, removed the
ball from the adomen and made a
thorough examination. None of
the intestines were perforated. MIR
CARRIER is in very critical condi-
ton, but was resting easy last
night. Being conscious Mr. CARRIER
gave Mr. H H Ker an account Of
what happened. He stated that
the man who attacked him was u
white man Of stout build and wore
a black SLOUGH hat. He says that
he had not had any trouble with
any oae and could not account for
the attack. MIR CARRIER has wife
and six children.
As soon as the police heard of
the trouble they at once began try
ing to locate the guilty person who
was tracked for some distance by
the blood marks on the ground.
a number Of persons visited the
scene of the shooting within few
hours after the occurrence.
At one time during the day Tues
day it was thought that the assail.
ant had been tracked to cave but
this proved to be groundless. Mr.
Lohr arrived here on the 1890
train Tuesday afternoon tram but
he too is at loss to understand the
motive of the criminal. Messrs
Putnam & Go. had their employees
assisting in every way in trying
to find the guilty person.
The board of supervisors author
lied the sheriff to offer 5000 re ward
for the capture and conviction OF
the perpetrator, and the mayor of
Staunton offered 500, and an effort
was made to induce Bald win s De-
tective agency to take hold of the
matter, but Baldwin declined to
work unless paid a certain sum
whether successful or rot.
Later: At II o'clock Tuesday
night Mr. CARRIER was reported
growing weaker, and it was thought
be could not ecover.-Staunton
