BONES OF THE EAR.
The Little Stirrup When Displaced
Causes Noises In the Head.

The Little strrup When Displaced
Causes Noises In the Head.
Vibrations of the eardrum are com
municated to the inner ear by means
of three exceedingly small bones, one
of which is called the stirrup. When
this particular little bone Is displaced
however slightly, the patient hears
sounds which are subjective. or, to
use palmer terms, noises confined ex.
clusively to the auditory apparatus
and not heard by others. These sounds
frequently seem like wind whistling
through a crevice or a buzzing such as
one hears when passing under a net
work of wires on a windy day. Other
sounds of similar subjective origin are
classified as musical. They take the
form of ringing bells. trumpet blasts.
organ notes and the piping of birds
Still another form conveys to the pa
tient sounds such as frogs make as
they sit on logs and like the shouts OF
crowd at baseball game.
DR., Marage a famous French aurist,
recently laid before the Academy of
Sciences in Paris the results of his
study of thousand cases of this gen.
eral sort. He has found that the nerves
of the ear in certain cases maintained
the conducting position which they as
sqmed when they transmitted the
sound of a ringing bell or like sound,
and, like an electric button out of
position. kept the bell vibrations from
being interrupted Other sounds were
produced by the persistent excitation
of the auditory nerve centers. High
frequency electrical currents and vi
bratory massage have been used by
leading specialists in the treatment of
ear troubles in these several conditions,
and the results have been encouraging.

Unfortunately most of these importa-

this dodder will undoubtedly prove dis

80 per cent larger in size than ordinary

STARTING A POULTRY PLANT
First Consideration is Suitable Loca-
tion-pry Porous Soil Of GraV-
ely Nature lo Best.
lBy W $. IACOBsO


The first consideration in establish
ine poultry farm is suitable loca-
ton. An elevation having natural
drainage away from the area where
the building is to be placed should be
sought. as the ground, no matter OF
what nature, will be cold and un-
healthy if damp If the proposed site
does rot afford drainage naturally it
should be provided in the form of a
thorough system of undertakings. A
dry. porous soil of a sandy or gravelly
nature is much more satisfactory than
an impervious clay soil, as that of the
more open nature is more easily kept
in a clean and sanitary condition. A
gentle sloIe facing the south or south
east Is preferable in order that the
fowls may receive as much sunlight
IS possible during the short days of
winter. Orchards are very desirable
as locations for poultry runs on ac-
count of the shade which the trees
afford during the hot summer days,
and in return for the shade thus pro-
vided the poultry will prove a val
liable ally to the orchardist in com
batting many injurious insects.

should be observed in the construc.

Swing True and Latch Properly
There are many farmers who prefer

drawing herewith indicates a method
by which this may be accomplished
with very little trouble and absolutely
accurate results.

the middle. Prop the gate into posi-
tion between the two posts and at
tach the hinges TO both ends. BE sure
that the hinges are large enough aud
strong enough 20 support the gate
