The one most important object Of corn
cultivation is the keeping out Of weeds.
1t takes but little stirring Of the soil
to kill weeds Immediately after they
terminate and before they have used
much soil moisture, but to destroy
weeds that are well rooted the soil
must be worked deeply and thorough
ly, This requires much labor and can
not be accomplished without breaking
and destroying many corn roots In
many sections or in seasons when the
seed terminates slowly it is advisable
to harrow once or twice or to cultivate
after planting before the corn comes up.
Aside from destroying weeds timely
cultivation is beneficial in preventing
the loss of moisture by evaporation and
also in Fastening the warming Of the
soil. The loss of soil moisture by evap.

To Prevent Deafness.

With q view to making a telephone receiver transmit sounds more clearly under varying conditions, a special earcap has been invented. which takes the place of the regular earcap on the receiver. In shape this device resem- bIes the part which it displaces, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, except that there are several vents or indent- ed channels which radiate from the center of the cap to the rim.
 These allow the passage of air in and out of the ear, even though the receiver is pressed against it. The pur- pose of this is to prevent indistinct or conflicting sound waves striking the ear drum. It is the claim of sthe in- ventOr that this form of an earcap re- lieves sensitive parts of the ear from strain in using q telephone and pre- vents deafness and nervous disorders.
