Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local aDDIicatIOne, as they CannOt rsaCH the diseased portion of the ear. There IS only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining or the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is perfect hearing, and when 1t IS entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inhamed condition of the mucous sur faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system

Wood for Winter Fuel.

MANY farms have available large
quantities of timber, fallen and
otherwise, which the farmer can
proftably convert into fuel for the
coming winter if he viii provide him
self with the necessary poWer-op-
Grated equipment. A large amount
of labor required in preparing ire
wood has kept many farmers from
using wood for fuel, but with the
high prices for coal it behooves the
thrifty farmer to consider the ad-
vantage of investing in wood-sawlln,g
machine which will make it possible
to utilize much timber on his land at
a relatively small expenditure of Ia
Dor. A great many farmers already
have gasoline engines suitable Tor
driving such machine. The latter
is comparatively inexpensive. One
outfit can do the work for several
farmers each year and the purchase
of a complete outfit, including an en-
CINE, to furnish power may be profit
able for group of farmers or for one
who is in a position to do certain
amount of work for his neighbors::
The United States Department Or
Agriculture offers free detailed IN
formation on this subject.

Distributing Good Sires.

A system Of country farmers ex-
changes in live stock, feed, and seed
has been developed in Iowa during
the past year, by forces of the State
Agricultural College and of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture working in cooperation. One
of the principal activities of the ex-
change is in the distribution of pure
bred live stock, The breeders send
IA list of the animals they have for
sale to the office Of the county agri-
cultural agent. He makes up lists
of these animals and distributes them
throughout the county, frequently
advertising in the local papers. II
any animals are not disposed of in
the county, list of them is sent to
the extension department of the State
Agricultural College, where lists are
made up for the entire state and sent
to every county and adjoining states.
In this way manv farmers who other
wise would not have the opportunity
of locating pure-bred sires are able
to get exactly what they want,
Through the exchanges many carloads
of pure-bred stock have been sold to
buyers from other states.

Put Bees in Good Condition FOR
Winter.

The production of large crop OF
honey next year depends to very
large extent upon the condition the
bees are in when they go into Wlntet
quarters, according to E. Z. Days.

times they come out fairly well bu!

up colonies strong enough to store a

however, it is an easy matter to as
certain what is needed for the bees.
First, lift out the frames, find the
queen and if she is getting old and
laying few eggs replace her as soon
as possible with young and Vlgor-
Gus queen. Secondly, if the colony Is
weak it should be combined with one
or more. others, making one largs,
strong colony. Thirdly, distribute
the honey stores equally among ali
the colonies, leaving on each hive at
least forty pounds of honey for their
winter food. The bees may not con-
sumo this amount during the winter,
but it is an excellent insurance and
guarantees large, strong colonies IN
the early spring to get the early
flow.

duced in Louisiana comes from early

Chap man who was staying at the home of MT. Richmond at the time the robbery was committed. It is alleged that Nellie Whitford was the instigator of the plan to rob Mir. Richmond, as she had been in his employ some time previous to the robbery. Ernest claims that his aunt had nothing to do with it and takes the entire blame upon himself. Both were brought to the Norwich police headouarters here to await a Shearing this (WedneSdav) evening before Justice of the Peace V. P. A. Quinn in Preston. The charge on which the Whitfords will be pre- scented are breaking and entering and assault and robbery.
