There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin

tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the re
suit, and unless the Inflammation can

its normal condition, hearing will be

DRAINAGE
AT FARM
EXPERIMENT CARRIED OUT BY
EXPERIMENT STATION OF
UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING.
Cooperative Agreement Between sta
tion and Drainage Investigations
Of the United States apartment Of
AurieuItureeDescribed by Dlree-
tor Of the Station.
BY ]. D. Iowar.

In Ranchman's Reminder for July.
After the preliminary surveys and
estimates OF the cost of a drainage sys-
tenn for the Experiment Station Stock
Farm, 5000 feet Of tile drain were pur-
chased by the Experiment Station last
fall for this work. Some two months
ago a cooperative agreement was made
between the Experiment Station and the
Drainage Investigations of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture by which the
Department of Agriculture agreed to
have an engineer locate the drains and
to pay the cost Of labor in putting i'll
the drainage system, while the Expert
ment Station agreed to pay for the tile
and superintend the construction work.
The work began May 7 and the drains
were completed June 80, the total cost
being approximately 1917 cents per
lineal foot. The cost was much in
creased over what it otherwise would
have been by the tendency of the gravel
subsoil to ave in when wet, and the
abnormaliy heavy rainfall of May and
the early part of June. A large amount
of crib work to support the sides was
thus rendered necessary. Six sand boxes
were installed for the purpose of collect
ing silt carried by the water. The av-
erage depth of the drains was about five
feet. About 200 feet Of ten-inch tile,
$50 feet of eight-inch tile, and l,250
feet of six-inch tile were used, the
drains being a little over one mile in
total length. More than 1000 feet of
shallow, open drain was also constructed.
A concrete outlet and weir for measur-
ing the discharge from the drains was
constructed. There are two weir open
ings in this, II a t%rapezoidai weir IL
inches in width, and the other a tri-
angular weir of 60 degree angle. Gates
are arranged in front of each of these,
so that either may be used while the
other is shut off. By this arrangement,
the capacity of the weir is made such
hat very small discharges, as well as
the total capacity of pipe, may be meas
ured. Battle plates are introduced in
the weir box to prevent the velocity of
water i'll the pipe being communicated
to that in the weir box The cost of
drainage as above given includes all of
these items. Counting only the digging
of drains, laying pipe on grade, and
filling in, the approximate cost per lineal
foot was only a little above ten cents.
Taking into consideration the poor soil
through which a large part of the drain
constructed and the amount of crib
work necessary, it is believed this cost
is as low as could have been expected,
and is at least five cents lower than
could have been obtained under contract.
