The Value to the Farmer ~ Keeping
Field Accounts.

Many pages Of agricultural Mtera
ture have been wisely devoted to urg
ing farmers to keep account Of the dit

Q peo0t may be disposed Of and those
that show Q proper balance b used to
advantage in building up . more
profitable herd. In all probability.
farmers who have followed this Id
vics carefully and consistently for .
few years have found the practice
much to their advantage. In no other
way than by q careful account can q
farmer tell which Of his COWS = kept
Ut ioss and which. BY their superior
productivsness. are bearing the bur.
den Of . lot Of worthless animals in
order to show q little profit for the en-.

But there IL another way In which
the practice of keeping such an &C
count may well result in great profit

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 inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taol1ian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Father Of Thirty.three

London Chronicle.
There is in the Celly Oak work
house an inmate named John
George Stratton, who is the father
of 80 children. His case came
before the guardians this week,
when inquiries were made as to a
maintenance contribution from his
-amily.
Stratton is 90 years of age, and
his third wife, who is with him in
the institution, is 81. His 80
children are scattered all over the
world, and none is in a position to
assist the father.
His first child was born two
months after Queen Victoria came
TO the throne. If was a girl, who
mas now attained the age of 90, and
ives in London. His youngest
child is "a, so it will be seen there
is a difference between the first and
last of As years.

4 WELCOME.

The Brownsville country well
comes its northern visitors with its
sweetest smiles today. These pas
lures and fertile fields and gardens
under sunny South Texas skies
must look good" indeed to the
eyes of these recent corners from
the ice-locked, snow-bound North.
If they were all from Missouri
even, they could not doubt the
evidence of their own eyes as to
the wonderful fertility of this sun
kissed valley of the River Grand.
They must see. also, its thousands
and thousands of acres of rich soil
lying idle, only awaiting the magic
touch of capital and the vitalizing
force of industry to make it to
blossom as the rose. F"
All nature today combines in
extending to these visitors cor
dial invitation to return and make
their home with us, passing their
days here in the enjoyment of
peace and plenty.

THE northern republican press
is inclined to laugh at the demo-
Gratis at the congress who have
been defending the course of Mr..
Roosevelt in discharging without
honor the negro soldiers on account
of fhe Brownsville outrage. The
democrats have saved Teddy from
being torn to pieces by his own party
for his action in this matter, which,
however just, it must be admitted
was somewhat arbitrary and irreg-

predict that Teddy will proceed
