Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of tho ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that Il by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inHamed
condition OF the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you have n
rumbllng sound or imperfect 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, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

The fence was built next day, with

Joe carried the key in his pocket
With the assistance of Link he sow
ed the rye thickly on three acres and
oats on the other. He hired his fathers
team and harrow. agreeing to pay
dollar for the use of it, and narrowed
the grain thoroughly into the finely
pulverized soil.
The many spikes or teeth of the har
row had by this time demolished every

level and smooth, with slight slope to

Passers by on the country road began

of the farmers grinned indulgently and
predicted that nothing would come of
"all that fooIishness." A few of them
went to thinking, and without saying
anything about it went home and gath

deeply, just as matter of curiosity, to
see what would happen. A few others
sowed oats or rye just as Joe did
The rye came up-a splendid, thick
stand of 1t. In a few weeks it had
spread, forming a solid mat of luscious
green. Hungry hogs prowled squeal-
lngly around the hogproof fence; hun
CRY cows looked and lOnged and lowed
disconsolately, for it was near Christ

she would not go to church, and some
unkind little girls had made fun of
Annie at Sunday school not long since,
which sent her home, her little heart
sorely hurting. She danced about In
glee.
"Oh, I'm going to have velvet cap
with red feather in 1t, and a red and
black worsted dress, and pair Of new
shoes, and some stockings that amt
patchedr' she cried, hugging her brother.
ITS mighty good of you, son, to
think of your mother that way" said
Mrs. Weston.
1T isn't half of what | am going to
do when l get start" answered Joe
stoutly.
Son, it isn't so much what you do,
but it is the fact that you thought of
your mother and sister and wanted to
help them that makes me happy" smil-
ed his mother.
"Well, just saw chance to pick up
something that would give you and sis
something all your very own. Tit

everything to own something, don't itT'
Indeed 1t does, joe"
Joe then started to hoe a field Of pO-
tatoes. Then he returned to his pigs.

pletion, sought the shelter Joe had con-
structed for them and snuggled among
the dry leaves with many contented
grunts.

mot now-just a few scraps from
the house and maybe a nubbin Of corn
a day for variety. This rye is about all
they need"
"Why, that won't fatten them" said
Mrs. Weston. .
Nom, but that government bulletin
says it's a waste of feed to try to fat
ten hogs under eight months old II
they are to be kept until they are a
year old. All we want to do is to give
them enough to keep them healthy and
growing fast, and that green feed will
do it. 1t will build up a good strong
frame to hang all that fat ON during
the last three months"
Pigs Is dirty beasts" announced
Annie, as If she had discovered some
thing new.
Because the people that own them
put them in nasty, little, muddy pens,
keep pouring swill and Stops in there
and never give it chance to dry out /
Hogs don't like filth"
And they wallows in mudholesT
argued Annie
"They do that to kill the flies and In
sects that bother them and to keep cool
in summer. Mud isn't filthy. Give a
hog a good range for pasture and clean
water to drink and he is clean as a
cow"
Annie was not convinced.
"They eats nasty slOps," she an
nounced crushingly.
"If the Stops are nasty it's the fault
of the people that give them to the
hogs. Pigs naturally Craze like cows
and horses and would rather eat nice
green grass or grain than Stops any
time said Joe
81 never knew that before" remark
ed his mother; but. come to think of
1t, they always do seem to be eating
something off the ground" /
ITS grass and weeds and roots and
such stuff. And they don't mind nice
fat cricket or grasshopper either"
said Joe.
AS the three strolled back to the
house Mrs. Weston looked over In the
field behind the barn. There was Mr. !
Weston with the two horse turning
plow breaking about five acres of land
as deeply as he could sink the pillow.

- on rafting and jingling in all
its joints from being left exposed and
unsheltered in all sorts of weather
Joe went to the barn and got a sack.
From the oak grove he managed to
scrape up four sackfuls Of leaves.
These he placed in a corner Of the
fence. Then he cut a pole about ten
feet long and ran it cater cornered
through the wires of the two lines of
fence about three feet from the ground.
Several shorter ones were placed be
hind it to the angle formed by the
fence corner post.
With his Ratchet he cut pine brush
from the bushes in an old field and
piled them on the poles in the fence
corner the stems all pointing to the
front, until a thick thatch formed a
sloping roof which would shed rain.
Then he piled more pine brush about
the two sides formed by the converging
wire fence aud climbed over and sur
veyed his work.
He had made a COZy rain and wind
proof shelter, and he smiled as he
thought of how those uncared for pigs
of Sulliyan's would enjoy it. Across
the road was a spring branch and an
abandoned Washtub from the house,
with an approach of dirt banked to its
edge which, set down and placed in the
field, formed watering place for the
pigs. Joe thOughtfully put several
large stones in the tub so that the wa
ter was not over five inches deep. In
case one of the pigs fell in it would not
drown.
Next morning Jim Sullivan brought
the pigs. lively, spotted little fellows.
but poor as snakes. Joe turned them
loose in the field, and they began eat
ing the tender young rye as if they
were famished. Jim's scrawny horses
were also ravenously deyouring the
green stuff. After STIMULATING that Sui
Ivan was to fill the water tub each
morning and evening Joe locked the
gate and went up to the house.
Mother, you and sister come with
me. I've got something to show you"
he said.
"All right. Come on, Annie" called
Mrs. Weston. And they followed Joe
down the road to his farm" as they
called the four acres.
"Oh-h, brother, look at those old
horses in your farm! Let's run them
outr cried Annie.
Hurry, son! They are just gobbling
your rye"
Joe laughed.
That's what l put them in there
Cor. I'm renting it for a pasture for
awhile"
But they are eating up the rye!' OBJ
jected his mother.
"That won't hurt it-really benefits
it. Those first shoots nipped off makes
the roots throw out twice as many
more, and makes each plant stronger
and thicker"
ooh and there are two horrid little
pigsies in there too! I'll chase them
out for you" said Annie.
