5000 BUSHELS OF
 CORN CLEAR GAIN.

Records of one 800 acre farm in Ohio show an annual increase of 5000 bushels of corn through the adoption of new strains of corn and improved methods developed and recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture The farmer has been following the advice of the depart ment for 20 years, and has kept care ful records of this yield. For the last 10 years the increase averages more than 10 bushels an acre over previous years. Beyond the extra cost of harvsting, the labor and expense is no greatr htan previously, so the 5000 bushels is regarded as clear gain.

Corn Club Exhibit

An exhibit of club corn consists of 10 ears which must come from the acre grown by the club member In selecting these 10 ears, tht following points should be kept in mind; 1. Uniformity of exhibit. This means that the ears must be as much alike as possible in shape, size, color and indentation. ?. Shape of ear. The ear should be cylindrical but slowly tapering from the butt to the tip.
 3. Color of cob. Cobs should be red in yellow varities and white in white varities, except those white varities that naturally have red cobs, such as the St Charles White or Ten nessee Red cob. 1. Color of kernels. There should be no white kernels in red varitles or colored kernels in white varities. A mixture of color in kernels shows inn purity in breeding.
 ,. Market conditions. The ears should be ripe, sound, bright, firm and well matured.
 6. Tips of ears. The tips should not be too .tapering and well filled with uniform kernels.
 :. Butts of ears. The butts should not be large or flat and should have rows of kernels extended well over the end.
 &. Uniformity of kernel. The ker- nels should be uniform in color, shape .and size.
 9. Shape of the kernel. The ker- nels should be wedge shape With straight and large germs.
 10. Space between kernels. The fur rows between the rows should be small. Wide or open furrows mean less weight in grain. II. Proportion of corn on cob. The weight of the grain should be about & per cent of the entire weight of the ear Less percentage than this means too much cob and not enough grain.
 If corn club members will keep in mind the above points, they should be able to select a creditable exhibit from their acre. An ideal ear should be from nine to II inches in length with circumference at point one third the distance from the butt to he tip of three fourhs the length of the ear. The cob should have diam eter of about one half htat of the en- tire year.

c CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
 BE CURED

by local applications, as they canpot reach the diseased portion of the ea. There sonly one way to cure catar rhal deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf. ness is caused by an infamed condi. tiOn of the mucous lining of the Ems tachian Tube. When this tube is in. famed you have a rumblng sound \, imperfect hearing, and when it is on. tirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammat tion can be rp. duced and this tube restored 10 its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness are caused by catarrh, which is an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollan for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Ca. tarrh Cure. Circulars free All drug gists, 75 cents.

Potato Club Exhibit

An exhibit of potatoes, either Irish or sweet, consists of one peck. In Se- lecting an exhibit of Irish potatoes, keep in mind these points:
 l. Uniformity. This means like ness in size, shape and color.
 ?. Trueness of type. This has ref erence to pureness of variety. There should be no mixture of colors and variety.
 8. Size and color. Do not pick the largest potatoes but rather those of medium size The color, of course, mus tbe uniform.
 f. Depth of eyes. Other things be- ing equal, the shallower the eyes the higher the score on this point. There should be as few eyes in number as possible.
 ]. Freedom from disease. Avoid all potatoes showing any sign of dis ease. One diseased potato may lose the prize.
 G. Freedom from injury. The same rues regarding the uniformity of al exhibit, uniformity in color, shape and size. and freedom from disease and injury that have been given for Irish potatoes apply in selecting an exhiLit of sweet potatoes

Slightly Dsfigured.

But DIR. Evans Is still In the ring.
DIR. Evans took his usual fall last Sun
day night, Sept. 4. He and Mrs. Evans
have been sleeping on their north
porch during the hot season, and the
outside door Of their cellar Is also on
the north porch, and had been left
open to air the cellar. The Doctor had
disrobed and put on his night gown
and was making for the bed in the
dark when he stepped off into the
space, and he says the next thing he
knew he was trying to hook the inside
door of the cellar from force Of
habit. He says he felt jerk just as
he struck the inside door as he plung-
ed downward, and is positive that the
hook used to fasten the door caught
him in his right nostril, and tore his
nose open, bones and all up to his eye.
This probably saved his life by break
ing his fall, for he evidently landed on
his head on the concrete floor Of his
cellar, three steps farther down, for
there was a pool Of blood on the floor
end on the steps he came back upon.
Doctors Thatcher and Wood were call
ed, and took six or seven stitches to
bring his nose together, and patched
him up generally. His right shoulder
is badly bruised, and after having an
X ray picture taken, the shoulder was
found to be dislocated. He
tore off some of his finger and toe
nails, and has few patches OF skin off
of his elbows, knees and other parts OF
his anatomy, but he is up and around,
and says; "What does a man want to
20 to bed for for little thing. like
that f" How he ever escaped with his
life we can't see, for 1t was tn steps
down to the inner door and three more
10 the cellar floor, and the man weighs
close to 200 pounds, plunging head
first that distance is goin to land with
some force.

Carried A Gun.

In Chicago, one day last week, a
messenger, entrusted with the delivery
Of bonds for brokerage house, was
attacked by two hold-up men. The
messenger drew revolver and cap
tured one Of the robbers, frightened
the other away and saved the bonds.
But when he turned the captive over
to the police, the messenger learned
something to his surprise. He was
arrested for carrying concealed weap-
ons. The robber, who was arrested,
was charged with disturbing the peace.
The Chicago system seems to be in
charge of first cousins to those persons
who believe the United States has no
right to possess any armament may be
matter what sort of armament may be
possessed by nations looking for a
chance for hold-up.
