Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu.

by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustschian
Tube. When this tube is infamed,
you have rumbling sound orimper.

closed, Deafness is the result, and un.

out, and this tube restored to It's

proportions when they read this
story:
While iourneying through the
South, he was very much annoyed
one day at the delay in getting food
served in a certain cafe. He had CIV
en- his order, and waited impatiently
an unreasonable length OF time,
when the waiter appeared and was
evidently looking for some one who
must have gone out without waiting
for his meal.
When asked by the senator whom
he was looking for he replied:
"a little boy who gave his order.

The Treatment Of Oats For
Smut.

Few farmers realize the great value
OF treating seed oats for smut. Elk
periments made by the Experiment
Station at Columbia show a gain
varying from 8 per cent to 20 per
cent IL the yield OF OAKS by thus
treating the seed. The method Is so
simple and 80 cheap that no farmer
should fall to treat bis seed oats be-
fore sowing.
Various methods are In use for
treating oats but the one which the
experiment station has found to be
most practical is as follows: Secure
l ID bottle OF commercial iormalin
(sometimes called iormaldehyde) 40
per cent strength and pour this into
vessel containing 40 to so gallons
OF water, and stir. Spread the oats
out on clean barn floor and sprinkle
on this solution from q sprinkling
can. Shovel them over and over I'M
til every grain is thoroughly moist.
ened, allow to stand In a heap Tor
twenty or thirty minutes and spread
out in a thin layer to dry. Shovel
these over occasionally to aid the
drying process.
The oats may be sown just as soor
as they are dry enough to handle OF
they may be kept any length OF time
The best way is to make this treat
ment along in the winter when one
has time, since the treatment lasts
indefinitely. Care should be taker
that the oats are dried out thorough
ly II they are to be sacked, since they
may be injured in termination BY
being sacked damp.
