SEEDING GraSS.

Editor Hcraid.-Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to say a
word to the farmers Of Prince Edward
and adjoining counties in regard to
seeding grass, the important crop
which so many farmers overlook.
Now is the time, the seasons are good
and all the grass weget seeded this fall
will be ready to cut next summer.
Where as If you seed with your beat
your grass will be one year later ]
would by all means seed mix grasses
as more hay will be obtained. The
following makes a good mixture for
most farms. Two parts timothy, 2
parts herds, and part sapling clover,
in all making p quarts to the acre.
Get it seeded as quickly as possible
and follow with a roller.
J. }. GILLIAN.

Advertising Is today the mightiest

for possessing the things which under
former conditions they could easily gel
along without. The human mind Is SC

In your interesting paper 1 ask a

Dandy is certainly experienced in
drilling wells having been in the bust
ness IA years. Is there anything more
valuable than nice fresh water? And
your farm will bring 500 more with a
good well on the premises than IL
would without it. Everybody should
consider this and take advantage Of the
opportunity whil-.M Mr.. DANNY is in our
vicinity A. you don't know that you
will ever have the same opportunity

Ao,u 20 Wash an Auto.

In washing an automobile use plenty
Of water. Two sponges should be
used and two chamois skins, one set
being used for the body and the other
set for the chassis and running gear,
since the chassis and running gear will
always be more or less oily, and there
IS no excuse for getting oil on the
body. When car comes IN az night
covered with mud, under no circum-
stances should this be allowed to re-
main on overnight and harden. The
car should be Immediately run on the
washstand and the mud softened 10y

DO not attempt TO rub the mud or
but allow It to be taken Off gradually
by the water.

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 infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining Of the En-
stachian Tube. When this tube Is in
famed you have Tumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when ii Is en-,
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to is normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give 800 for any case OF
Deafness caused by Catarrhl that can

Of anthracite disappears there viii be
nothing doing in the heating line around

There is not a penny left Of the Sl.i50
appropriated for the running expenses
Of the court building for the fiscal year

According To the officials Of the court
the deficit has arisen through the mis-

.LABOR'S PROTEST
READ TO SENATE
Members Pay Very Little
Attention, But Order 1000
Copies Printed.

The so-cailed protest Of labor, which
was presented 10 Vice President Fair
banks and Speaker Cannon yesterday.
and which asks further legislation TO
meet the recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
against labor organizations. including
the enactment OF an employers liability
law. and amendments 10 the Sherman
antitrust law. was read today to the
Senate.
Immediately after the opening prayer
the customary reading of the journal
was dispensed with and the Vice PresI-
dent had the clerk read the demands Of
the labor representatives. II is perhaps
worthy of note that the reading did not
claim the attention OF the Senators. In
Iact, on both the Democratic and Re
publican sides, there was so much con-
fusion that the Vice President frequent
iy hGG TO rap for order
As soon as the reading was completed
Senator Burrows (ReD., Mlch) asked
that the memorial be printed as a
public document. and on motion of
Senator GdllingCr 100 additional copies
were ordered printed.
