Deafness Can Not 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 con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling
sound sor imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the in
Ehammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrll, which is
nothing but al infalned condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for and case of deafness ( caus-
ed by catarrh } that cannot be cur

TALKS TO FARMERS
BY T. F.PECk
...Commissione Of Agriculture.

exhausted and less profitable 10
cultivate year after year.
The census reports shows that
Tennessee is producing less OF
wheat and oats than was produced
ten years ago. While our popnla-
tion has increased, prices have in
creased, and if the farmers" had
kept their lands improved so that
they could have-:eupplied the de-
mand, the money that is going to
other States could be going into
the pockets of our own farmers.
While too mach of it is.going away,
we have some progressive5SarmeEs
who have taken poor, rundown
farms and have improved them, SO
that each year the production on
their farms has increased and they
have been profting by the prevail
ing high prices.
Tennessee farmers should sap
ply the demand in Eennesses at
least for farm products, and should
ship to other States rs well. We
have the advantage of climate,
variety of soils and other favorable
iconditions, and we can restore the
fertility of the soil.
| Some farmers have the, notion
that scientific farming is out Of
their reach-that they have not
the education or the money to un-
dertake it. We have abundant
proof that men with limited edu-
cation and less money, have start
ed at the bottom and have grown
independent. Others can do the
same; but you must begin at the
Foundation aud build from the
ground. You never knew q man
to make success building fence
a house or barn, who tried to
start at the top.
| The object of these letters is to
help you get started right, and to
show you that you can do what
others have done; but we must be-
gin at the foundation and build in
order. The foundation of farming
is the soil, so in our next week'a
letter we propose to talk to you
|ebout soils. Let us get.a bette,
, knowledge of soils and how to
, classify them, how improve them
!, how to prepare and cultivate crops
on them, so that we will not roa
them, but rather increase thei
fertility each year.

ever, shows that nearly all of these
west of Camden are drilled not in
the old hard rocks, but in the re-
cent soft sands of Tertiary and
Crecaceous age. These sands out
crop in the high divide between
the Tennessee and Mississippi
Rivers a short distance west of
Camden and dip rapidly westward
so that when pierced by a drill, rs
for example at jackson. they yield
copious flow of artesian water.
The lowest of these rocks rises to
outcrop just west of Camden.
Again, comparing the Camden
we'll, with an elevation of 500 feet
above tide, with the wells at Big
Sandy and Saltillo for example.
In the Big Sandy we'll the top has
an elevation of about 372 feet
above tide, and the one at Saltillo
not over;380 feet, the top Of these
wells being in round numbers
about 1875 feet below the top of the
Camden we'll. So that if they ab-
tained water from the same hori-
,zon, other things being equal, the
water struck in the Camden we'll
should rise rs feet in a stand pipe
above the mouths of the wells at
Big Sandy and Saltillo.

To the Farmers of Tennessee.

In the preparation of "Talks to
Farmers we do not claim that all
the matter used will be original,
Where we find another has ex-
pressed well what we want to say
we will use good material in a good
cause. and the author will accept
this as our apology for doing so.
To the courtesy and progressive
spirit of the newspapers OF the
State, we are indebted for the priv
ilege of reaching you each week
for a heart to heart talk about mat
l.ters ofvital interest to everyfarmer
lin the State.
The Department of Agriculture
was created to,promote agriculture
and enforce the laws for the pro-
lection of the agricultural interest
of the State.
The articles to be printed each
week will be plain, straightforward
talks to farmers on subjects that
will be helpful to the farmer who
has not had the advantages of an
agricultural education.
We can not live without cult
waiting the ground. We must de-
stroy useless plants and cultivate
the useful ones. The work neces-
sary to do this is called agriculture
or farming.
All other vocations among men
have grown out of the necessities
of the farmer. or egrioulturist, and
all are ina large measure depend
ent upon him for support.
The farmer needed tools to culti-
vate the soil; to supply his demand
we have the blacksmith. He need
ed houses to live in; for that reason
we have the carpenter. He needed
schools for his children; thus ere.

State Geological Survey has been
called upon for an opiuion on the
underground water supplies for
two of the towns of the State, Jel-
lico and Camden.
In both cases it was necessary toll
disappoint the hopes of those ind
terested in the projects. At Jel-
lico it has been hoped to secure a
supply by gravity from a line of
springs in Pine Mountain, lying
some 900 feet or more above town.
After al examination by Profess
sors Gordon and Switzer, of the.
University of Tennessee, acting for
the Survey. they decided that the
area drained by the springs was SO
small that the plan of drilling Or
driving drift in at the level of the
springs was not likely to develop a
aow sufficient to supply the town.
On the other hand they agreed
with a recommendation made earl
Ger by the State Geclogist that the
conditions were favorable for secur-
aug an artesian fow in abundance.
In the case at Camden, an arte-
sian flow was desired, but the State
Geologist had to advise that prob
bly, artesisn water could not be OBJ
eained. 1t may be of interest to
note the conditions existing at the
two places leading to these differ
ent results.
A we'll at Jellico would start in
Che coal measure rocks at least
a,000 feet above their base. These
rocks are principally lsendstones
aud shales, the sandstones serving
as channels FOR the water, while
the shales tend to form seals to
prevent the passage of the water
up or down from one sandstone to
an over or underlying sandstone.
Remembering that the conditions
for an artesian we'll are: l, apor.
us stratum for the passage of the
water; 2, an impervious cover OF
CLAY, shale or other rock to'prevent
the passage of the water upward
3, the condition that the elevation
of the porus stratum where it out
crops and receives surface waters
shall be higher than the surface OF
the ground where it is proposed te
drill for water, it will be seen thai
the coal measure rocks fulfill the
tirst two conditions.
It remains to be seen whethel
they fulfill the third condition. 4

River cutting below 1000 fee

would be not far from fair aver

NEAR Jellico. These facts at leas
suggest the possibility of tindin

tipued down to l ,370 feet.
The Camden we'll started in the
Camden. ebert of Devonian age.
Under that are supposed to occur
the Linden limestones, also OF the
Devonian age, and then rocks OF
Silurian age that outcrop in the
Valley of the Tennessee, and near
the foot of the escarpment of the
Highland Rim in Cheatham, west
ern Davidson and Williamson
counties. Where best known in
Perry and Decatur counties these
rocks have a thickness of about
450 feet. Below these comes the
rocks of Ordovician age that out
crop around Nashville, Franklin,
Lebanon and Murfreesboro. In
the Central Basin these have
thickness of between 500 and 600
feet, and may be assumed to have
similar thickness under Camden.
Still below these comes the Knox
dolomite from 1000 to 1900 feet
thick, which outcrops in East Ten
nessee, but not in Middle Tennessee
(outside of one very small area
where it is upthrust.)
A knowledge of these rocks re-
veals the fact that those of Silurian
age, while mainly limestone, have
still some shales, and itswould ap-
pear that the water struck at 27C
feet was in one of those limestones
Immediately underlying a clay.
The rocks of Ordovician age are
practically all limestone. The
Knox formation is limestone, dolo-
mite and ebert. Experience has
shown that while flowing water
may be found in the limestones
where not associated with shales
or clay, it is not often found SO,
and on the whole the possibility
of the rocks under Camden furn-
ishinp q medium for the horizontal
passage of water is not good, ex-
cept in the upper part where the
rocks are of Silurian age.
In the second place, while rocks
supposed to underly Camden all
outcrop to the east, and therefore
rise in that direction, it is to be
observed that for some distance
east of Camden there is very little
or no rise. Thus the black Chat.
tanooga shale, which has an eleva
tion of over 500 feet at Camden
has an elevation of just about 500
feet at Csntresville, and not more
than $50 feet where it outcrops il
western Davidson County. Fur
ther to the east it tends to rise Sc
that it gets to be over 500 fee
above tide in southwestern Viii
hanson County.
