However, it is also a source of
qualification that the Max Mea-

In this connection it is under

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
ditlon of the mucous !ning of the
Eustacnian TUBE. When this tube is
lnflamed you have rumbllng sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyea forever; nine cases ont of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is MOTH
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

DOUBLE ROW PLAN IN FAVOR
Celery pIaHts Grew With Unusual
yigor and Averaged Larger Than
Those Set hi Single Rows.

Last summer instead of planting
eur celery in single rows as hereto
fore, we planted double rows, says a
writer in an exchange. The ground
is upland, and was in fairly good con-
dition, a crop Of early potatoes having
already been harvested 1t was not
feplowed, But was we'll narrowed and
leveled,
The rows where the celery was to-
Be Get were spaded, two spades wide.
The upper soil was thrown to one
side and well-rotted manure, supple
mented with complete fertilizer, was
used in the row. This was well raked
in with the pronged hoe, the soil that
was thrown out was returned and the
plot leveled.
The plants were set by line, in
double rows six inches apart and the
plants six inches apart in the row.
The double rows we're four feet apart.
The plants grew with unusual vigor
and averaged larger than those set
in single rows, and better than any
we have ever grown under the single
row system. The advantage lies in
the saving of labor in banking, and in
economy of space, as more plants can
be grown on the same land.

GETS BoARs INTO CONDITION
Where Animals Have Been Permitted
to GET Too Fat Some Breeders
Walk Them Before Feeding.

A boar that is put into show con
dftion or permitted to get too fat often
fails as "a breeder and after being re-
duced in flesh is still unreliable and
uncertain. American Swineherd tells
how some breeders handle their hogs
to get them in good shape after they
are too fat or have come back from
the fairs. Several walk them mile
or two miles, sometimes in the morn
Ing before feeding them, and have
very little corn in the ration.
One herdsman purchased two we'll
known boars that either on account of
shipment or too frequent usage be-
fore refused to breed. The first one
ne put in an by 16 foot stall. then
permitted no one to annoy or strike
MIN. He cut down his feed and let
SOW run around near the pen. In
six or eight weeks he had spirited up
until the herdsman was the only one
who could handle him and he always
used a hurdle, on the ground that a
boar should never be ill treated. Re-
suits were so good that the same plan
was followed when the second boar
came. In each case both animals
turned out first-class breeders after
ward.

Ever notice how cows come up on

because the poor beasts get a chance
