Drafnsss Uannot be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition
Of the mucous lining of the Eustaehian Tube.
When this tube is infRmed you have a rumblinR
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammatiOn 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 Ca
tarrh which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

creases the trouble. If clover hay is
properly cured and put into the NOW
in first-class condition. and the NOW
well ventilated, there is not much
danger OF heating.
In order to make a good clover-hay
crop we must thoroughly understand
the nature of the plant When the
crop is ripening the water is constant
ly passing out of the soil up through
the roots. the stalk. and into the air
through the leaves. The plant is be-
ing built up and matured in this way.
When the blossoms begin to turn
brown, that is a sign that the connec-
ton between the water and the plant
is being lessened, and this is the time
when the crop should be cut, because
II completely sewers the connection
and reduces the amount of water In
the plant
Glover cut at this period has about
rs per cent. of water left in the stalk.
and the problem is how to set rid Of
the most OF 1t without drying out the
plant too much. thereby rendering it
lass palatable and less valuable as q
stock food.
When clover hay is put into the
barn in exactly the right condition
II has about % per cent. OF moisture.
which 1t has absorbed from the soil.
In the west, where the acreage is
generally much larger than In the east
and south. many clover raisers find 1t
good plan to cut their hay In the
evening. turning 1t over next day after
L.. xx-ffh he
The side delivery rake is probably
used more In the west than in other
sections of the country. and this is
found to be practicable and useful
machine.
The best time to make clover hay
is on cool. clear day with the wind
blowing. for the wind cures the hay
better than the sun.
A very hot sun. particularly II there
is much humidity in the air. kills the
leaf structure and prevents 1t from
evaporating the moisture. When hay
is tossed up loose In the windrow. or
In small cocks, the air can pass
through IL, and this absorbs the mois-
ture more rapidly than the sun.
Good hay is not dried grass. dis
tinction which many farmers have not
learned. When clover hay is put into
the barn 1t ought to have some mois-
ure In 1t, not the moisture produced by
rain or dew. but the natural moisture
which the plant has absorbed from
the soil.
II clover is not cut until all the
heads are brown. II can easily be
cured, but 1t will not make very good
hay. Again. IL the hay is raked up
into cocks when It is perfectly dry.
and then becomes soaked. much of Its
value is lost.

DANGERS SHOWN BY PICTURES
Railroad Has Photographs Taken to
illustrate How Accidents Occur
and May Be Avoided.

A woman got on a train coming up
from the south: she carried baby In
one arm and a suitcase and a bundle
with the other. 1t was in the night
and the platform was dark As she
started for the station lights. some
considerable distance from the plat
form. she tripped over one OF the truck
tongues and fell. seriously injuring
both herself and the child she was car
rying.
For the purpose of showing train
men and the general public the dan
gers that lie in thoughtlessness the
management of the Frisco road had
q number OF photographs made eIhib-
iting the dangers of this character as
they occur almost every day.

Cos, Of Railroad Construction.

There is some agitation concernin.
the building. by the United States gov.
ernment. OF two main lines of railroad
through Alaska The government en-.
gineers estimate that the roads can be
built for $4,000 per mile. even with
the difficulties that are to be encoun.
tered in that country. When the gov.
ernmcnt builds It IA not given to cheap
construction. therefore It is fair to as.
sume that the engineers. who are the
best the country affords. have not es
timated on poor and cheap work. II
the government can build n road w
there in the arctic regions. under the
enormous difficulties that such con
struction would entail. for $4,000 pei
mile, It Is certain that most OF the prt
vate constructed roads In the United
States have cost hrst and last at least
twice M much ~ they should have

MADE MATTER OF REJOICING
First Train Over Erie Line Carried
Distinguished Passengers to
0or0eouo Celebration.

The completion of the Erie was the
most important event In the history
Of railroad building down to that time
"a matter Of national consequence.
Recognition of this fact was made
when In May. 1851. special train
carried on a two day. trip through
the mountains and valleys OF southern
New York, sweet with the leaves and
blossoms OF early summer, President
Fillmore. four members of his cabinet
and other guests of national distinc-
ton.
Daniel Webster. majestic even up-
der his heavy burden of age and i'll
health. was secretary OF state in FIJI
more's cabinet and rode on that first
through train. He made the journey
in rockingham lashed to fat car.
that he might lose nothing OF the
scenery and the sweetness OF the
fresh verdure. Nor was he too feeble
to enjoy the great barbecue at Dun
kirk. where oxen and sheep we're
roasted whole. pork and beans were
cooked In vessels holding fifty gallons
each. bread was baked In loaves ten
feet long and two feet thick. SO heavy
that two men staggered under their
burden. and the whole was served at
a table 800 feet long. spread under
specially built shed along Railroad
street from Deer to Lion street 1t
was a great day for New York state
and the nation. and It was a great day
also for President Fillmore. who found
the pork and beans especially to his
taste--Wells Fargo Messenger.

A leading eastern railroad is to put
In service on the New York terminal

velop ] 400 horse power continuously
and will ~ capable Of developing as
high as 5000 horse power for short
periods. They will exert sufficient
tractive effort to haul train weighing
1000 tons at sixty miles an hour.

as rapidly as possible. On both divi-
sions OF this road they are now oper-

erage and has accomplished its task
within period OF 20 years.
Quite how long a well built locomo-
tive will last in running order is hard
y known. says an exchange. Six
years ago the famous Lord of the
Isles was ''scrapped" at Swindon. She
was one of the famous Great Western
broad gauge engines and was built In
1872. She was in perfect running
order up to the end of her long life
OF more than 60 years.
A carriage. II well used. has q very
long life. In the Museum OF Coaches
at Lisbon ia a coach In which King
Edward drove during his visit to Lis
bon ten or twelve years ago. The
coach was built In 1921.
Ex-President Roosevelt owns and
uses n phaeton which was made to
his grandfather's order at least 10
years ago. IL is very comfortable and
as good almost as the day II was built.
Only last year the steamship Seal
left Bideford for Durham. n voyage Of
5000 miles. The Seal was built at
Southampton in 1916 and In 1929 was
driven from her moorings at Poole in
fearful gale and found in q turnip
field.
Steamships seldom last more than
40 years. OF those built between 1915
and 1885 there is not. we believe. q

longer than that OF any other ma
