bia, and his fireman, Sewer Dean,

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
Gases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi.
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

Women Who Wear Well.

the appearance and DISPOSITION Of many
women. The freshness the charm the
Abrilliance vanish like the bloom from a

matron is only dim shadow, u faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF Its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

when these organs are established in

A barber's pole is said to be SYM
bolical of wounded arm wound
with ribbon or bandage. In olden
times the village barber served also
in the capacity of surgeon, and
whenever bleeding operation was
to be made the patient was taken to
the tonsorial artist. This letting of
blood was part of his profession.
The gilt ball at the end of the pole
is also significant, standing for the
brass basin which was used during
the operation. In some countries a
real basin is fastened to the top of
the pole. This basin has notch in
it designed to fit around the throat.

;ARMERs UNION BUREAU.
Growing Long staple Cotton.

About one year ago our Farmers
Union Bureau gathered in J. and
threshed over a lot of different ex-
periments among cotton growers in
South Carolina on the subject of
growing upland long staple cotton,
which pointed out the following
facts as general conclusion: Many
farmers that planted Florodora and
other varieties of long cotton in mar
row rows and close in the drill, like
Glbey usually grow common cotton, on
hin or average lands, made failures,
sometimes not getting over half as
much long cotton as they did short
cotton on same land and same treat
ment.
Success in growing long cotton in
upper half of South Carolina de.
pends upon these important condi-
tions of soil and system:
First. Deep-ploughed rich soil
gives the best lint.
Second. In good lands, rows not
less than 8 feet wide and not less
than 8 feet in drill.
Third. If commercial manure is
used, put in no ammoniated fertilizer
(acid and potash only) when prepar-
ing the bed for the row.
Fourth. Apply nitrate of soda in
every other middle row when cotton
is nearly half grown and the other
half nitrate of soda in other middles
when giving last ploughing,
Fifth. No rule as the amount of
fertilizers necessary can be given
here without knowing the character
of the different lands. This can be
judged best by those acquainted
with each plot of land and crops
previously grown.
Sixth. Cultivation: Run seeder
over rows every five or seven days, if
weather permits, until plants have
three or four leaves, then thin out to
stand, using shallow running culti-
vators to finish, never running
more than twice to finish in each
row, continuing cultivation until
blooms appear.
Seventh. One good, clean hoeing
at thinning time is all the hand hoe
ing we usually give cotton on lands
where weeders and cultivators can
be used just right. By this system
we grew 2,170 pounds long seed cot
ton on our best plot last year and
averaged 1,340 pounds seed cotton
on the crop, averaging less than three
pounds seed cotton to one Of lint.
GINNING.
Pick out when good and dry and
as clean as possible tloug cotton is a
little harder to piok) and store away
in the seed for at least 60 'sys-
longer is still better. This ses hing
and waiting improves and increases
both the quality and quantity of lint,
while the rush at the gins will be
over and your ginner will then not
mind running his gin slower, and as
the gin saws by this time are worn
smooth, you may look for first
