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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken u and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Recognizing the Importance of and
urgent need for education along agri-
cultural lines in the public schools, the
board of governors authorized an i'm
mediate campaign OF publicity in be-
half of the introduction of textbooks
on farming in the public schools up to
and including the tenth grade. In the
campaign, which will be carried on I'M
til the purpose of the Dry Farming
congress has been achieved and practi-
cal agriculture is taught in every
school in the land, emphasis will be
placed upon the necessity of adapting
the textbooks to conditions in the var
ious sections of the country. 1t will be
recommended that those books which
are used in the far eastern states
should cover general agriculture, with
enough about dry farming to give the
pupil a correct idea of this phase of the
subject, while the books for the west
ern schools should give more extended
consideration to dry farming, as a SUBJ
ject of paramount interest in the west.

PREPARING FOR FIFTH
DRY FARMING CONGRESS

At a meeting of the board of gov
errors of the Dry Farming congress at
Spokane, Wash, Nov. IL and IL, Oct.
8, A, 5 and 6, 1910, were the dates Sc
lected for the Fifth Dry Farming con-
gress and International Dry Farming
exposition at Spokane. Prof. r. W.
Thatcher, agronomist of Washington
Agricultural college, Pullman, Wash,
was made a member of the executive
committee and board of governors,
vice Fl. L. Moody, of Spokane, resign
ed. D. T. Ham, vice-president of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, was
elected chairman of the Spokane board
of control of the Fifth Dry Farming
congress. By virtue of this position,
MI. Ham also is a member OF the board
of governors. John T. Burns, secretary
of the congress, was elected secretary
of the board of control.
The board Of governors authorized
the secretary to visit Washington, D.
c.. and Mr.. Burns left Denver Nov.
"a, to carry out the instructions of the
governors. The secretary will study
the organizations of the bureaus OF
the various departments of the federal
government, especially those of state
and agriculture, with the view to de-
v~eloping a system of bureaus for car
rying out more effectively the work OF
the Dry Farming congress. He Will
interview Secretary Ballinger of the
interior, and Secretary Wilson of the
agricultural department, and Fred
Denett, commissioner of the general
land Office, for the purpose of making
arrangements for regular interchange
of information between those officers
and the Dry Farming congress.
Mr.. Burns also will interview the
senators and representatives from west
ern states and endeavor to enlist their
interest in increased appropriations for
experimental and demonstration farms,
especially in the dry farming states.
The board of governors decided that
a practical handbook of dry farming
should be prepared and published as
o as possible. Tn the preparation of
this book the secretary will secure
the collaboration of eminent masters
Of the various branches Of agricultural
science, so that each subject will be
presented by an accepted authority in
that particular phase of husbandry'
The book will be illustrated with
maps, drawings and halftone repro
auctions of photographs. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the governors to make this
book as complete as a textbook on dry
farming can be made with the data
now obtainable. Work on the prepare
ton Of this volume will be started at

THE SUNDAY EVENING NEWS
PAPER

The Silver State is in receipt of the
first anniversary issue of the Sunday
Evening Washington Times, published
by Frank A. Munsey. In an editorial
Mr.. Munsey states that the paper is a
financial success, as are also the other
two Sunday evening papers be started
simultaneously with the Times-the
Philadelphia Times and the Baltimore
News.
While the words of the editor are
doubtless true, it seems almost incredi-
bic that Sunday newspapers can thrive
least, the Sabbath day has been so
strictly observed.
While the people of the country
will generally admire Mr.. Munsey s
enterprise and business sagacity, there
are a great many, who are not church
men, who will question his taste in the
v%eneration in which the daysis held,
by many (perhaps a majority of the
people of this country it is consid-
cred advisable to rest from unneces-
sary labors on one day in the seven.
For many years the Sunday morning
newspaper has been looked upon as a
necessity, but there is a wide differ
ence between a morning and evening
paper printed ON that day. From a
moral standpoint it is probably a case
of 'tsix of one and a half dozen of the
other.o But we are not discussing the
question from a moral standpoint, but
purely as a matter of public policy.
gained or lost by a Sunday evening
paper. The public has certainly moth
ing to gain, for it is getting on very
well without it. The men who edit
and print the paper have nothing to
gain, for if they work on Sunday they
will take a day off during the week.
In ease Sunday work, and seven days
labor, becomes the universal rule, con-
ditions will quickly adjust themselves
so that the employee will receive no
more for his seven days work than he
is now getting for six.
1t is not probable, however, that the
Sunday evening newspaper will ever
become generally popular, for the reas
on that the American people, irrespec-
tive of religious differences, believe in
taking one day in the week for rest
and recreation

This is what one widowed mother Of

books, or set of books, and every even

Always so far the life in the books
has been more interesting than the
life on the street corners.
And that despite the fact that he is
an unusually restless and very strong
boy.
Doesn't that sound attractive and
suggestive to you?
Several boys who We're playing mar
bles for keeps were arrested recently
for gambling.
Their parents were highly indignant
and said the arrest was wrong but
the police judge didn't look at it in
that light at all.
On the contrary. he reproved the
boys severely and told them that if
they repeated the offense they would
be sent to the reform school.
In his remarks, furthermore, the
judge said that it didn't make any
difference what you gambled with or
for, that gambling was gambling and
one form was as WOrng as another.
Rather an interesting anecdote for

NEW YORK, Nov 1O-The New
York horse show is one of the events
that seals the fate of those early
styles offered each fall: the women
who are acknowledged leaders in such
what may and what may not expect
length of life for this season, for the
show is on in all it's glory.
The illustrations that have been ap
pearing in the daily papers and often
in the so-called leading magazines have
given nothing like the advance styles
seen at this most fashionable function.
The reason for this is that the gowns
and costumes worn at such fashion
able affairs are really those exclusive
ones kept almost hidden by their de-
signers-new-ard not on exhibition
until the opening of the event.
Fashions, even those called simple,
are really sumptuous and far beyond
the purse of the majority of women.
Nevertheless the ideas, the general
lines, the fabrics, etc, seen during this
week are the best guides to those new
costumes for which we are now plan
ming.
At the horse show there is re-
marked a wide difference between the
morning costume and those for the
afternoon and eevning. That the
Louis styles have not yet reached their
zenith of popularity is proved by the

numbers of gowns now being made
from the ideas of that period by the
very elite in fashion. Therefore we
see fuller skirts, panniers, f1chus and
pointed cOrsages; fur is one of the
trimmings much in evidence.
These period gowns demand bro

wear and especially when worn dur

mentioned, the great change is seen
in skirts and now sleeves may come

nationally full and not too short, yet
not touching the ground at any point
Side kits are seen not only in skirt
but in the new coats as well, and many
different devices are used in the ar

One costume noticed during the first
day morning session IS made with a

Chicks in the Brooder

The care of brooder chicks under
proper conditions is simple and less
trouble than the care of a large num-
Der of hens with chicks. The first
requirement is:
Never use a low brooder with hot
pipes directly on to the chicks; it is
little less than a deathtrap. When
the brooder is heated by pipes these
should be several inches above the
backs of the chicks. and burlap
cover should extend beneath the pipes
to distribute the heat more evenly and
in a measure prevent in striking the
chicks directly The correct method
of heating brooder is by upwa d
currents of hot air. The plan of such
a brooder was published in England.
The principle has not been improved
in the Lewis Poultry Book for 1871,
upon, although the plans may have
been somewhat simplified This
brooder was heated by a hot water
tank between the lamp and the brood
err. AS used by the North Carolina
experiment station, it may be readily
made when the tank is done by the
tinsmith
The brooder is in two parasitic
lamp box, on which the tank rests. and
the brooder proper, which fits over it,
For small brooder the lamp box is
10 inches high and 2 feet square, per-
fectly tight except for inch holes in
each of the four upper corners for
the smoke to pass out, and a row of
smaller holes in the bottom of the
door for lamp ventilation. The sheet
iron tank forms the top and is made
with the bottom extending two inches
beyond its sides all around, and is one
inch in depth.
The floor of the brooder is made of |
six boards three feet long, six inches |
wide and one inch thick; these boards |
must be tongued and grooved. On the |
under side of this floor, at the edge |
all around, strips one inch thick and |
one and one-half inches wide are |
nailed; now this door will fit over the
lamp box, leaving space of one inch |
around the tank on the sides and one
lalf inch on the top In the middle |
this floor is inserted an iron tube |
me inch in diameter and three and |
0ne-ha1f inches long. or two and one
half inches above the floor. This |
tube is for the hot air to pass into |
The brooder. On either side of the !
tank through the strips under the !
foor is a whole some half inch across /
for the cold air to enter; this cold
air passes around the hot tank, is
heated and rises through the tube and
flows into the brooder, and more cold
ail takes it's place around the tank,

pure air passing into the brooder
through the tube, but nowhere else,
AS the floor is perfectly tight. This
warm air flows over the backs Of the
chicks as evenly as the natura, heat

brooder should be at least two feet
high above the brOoder floor in front,
and foot at the back, with holes

in front for ventilating the brOoder.
or foul air can enter the brooder, and
no direct air strikes the chicks. A
cover some two feet across is placed
over the hot air tube, on adjustable
pegs or legs. A number of the best
brooders on the market are planned
on this principle, and in buying a
brooder it is the part of wisdom to
get one of this sort
I'VE hear a good deal of the 'fireless
brooder"-in fact since there is little
science in it's construction, the persons
advertising either the brooder or tie
plans are increasing and multiplying

Press of that period, and they add
Fashions change, and what was in
style and discarded years ago is the
style of today" All of which would
incline the cautious to be bit slow
in discarding the style of brooder
which has remained from the first and
is likely to continue to the last, for a
style that comes and goes.
This much we would advise, that al
about three weeks of age, when the
brooder and the latter is needed fol
the next hatch, cold brooders may be
used by making large hovers thickly
hung with wooden felt or coarse fan
mel strips and placing them in shall
low dry goods boxes, allowing d
height of only six inches from the
floor to the top Of the hover. These
low hovers with warm hangings keep
the chicks warm and prevent their
AS the chicks grow older
the hovers should be gradually raised,
and when they are about six weeks
old, in warm weather, the hovers may
be entirely removed and the chicks
taught to roost in the open by grad
ual process which prevents Jars" and
trouble.
Never, no, never, try to raise chicks
in out of-door brooders without put
ting those same breeders under cover
