Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There ID
only one way to cure DEAFNESS, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infatned condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachihn Tube.
When this tube is imhalned you have a
rumbling sound ofimperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing bit
an in1amed condition OF the mucotis sur
faces
We will give 800 for any case Of Deaf
ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

PRACTICAL DAIRYING METHODS
Hints to the Dairy Farmer in Regard
to Keeping Good Cows.

The average farmer has but little
idea, we are convinced, of the wide
difference there is in cows or in the
systems of management. Wherever we
have taken COW censuses, the farmers
were greatly surprised at the differ
ence in results as between different
herds. That shows that to the mind
of the average farmer the yield per
cow or per head is as he suppOses
about the same. Yet it is quite COM
mon to find one herd making double
or more than double the clear profit
than one may be on an adjoining farm.
Even on experiment station farms,
where everything is supposed to be
done scientifically, they demonstrate a
wonderful difference in cows.
The Minnesota station found cows In
its herd which returned $55.54, while
alongside of them other cows returned
only 1919, after deducting the cost
of feed which was the same, in each
case
The Michigan station found its cows
varied from $61S to $94.05, after the
feed cost was reckoned. The New
Jersey station shows that calling milk
worth $1OO per cwt. their cows var
led from Is cents profit to $4972. The
Connecticut station figures show diff
ference as between the poorest and
the best COWS of $2.76 to $54.72.
| Now there are thousands of farmers
who are keeping these low paying
cows and don't know 1t. Something is
the matter but they don't know what.
They know that they are getting
mighty little out of their cows.
We can see by this how necessary IT
is to have an inquiring mind The
right kind Of farmer will not sit
down under such conditions. He will
| set is work % change them, andg the
irS& thiigske Will do Will he to buy
rs63stefed Mill sot same breeder hA can
ltrust. That right sort Of spirit hal
changed whole counties in Wisconsin

year to an average for the whole coun-
tn Of $50. pounds per. COW.
