is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inlamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless tie 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 inflamed

about 70 acres OF cucumbers con-
tracted for this season which is
the smallest acreage since the station
has been here. The growers receive
sixty cents per bushel for pickles
which are under four inches and which
average about 600 pickles to the bus

cents per bushel for pickles under 81
inches and averaging 500 to the bushel'
Dill pickles are being packed here for
