Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There IS only one way to eTe eartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constita-
onal remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
m cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube inflamed you have q
rambling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases Of deafness are
causedby catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catagrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces Of the
system.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catafrh Med

When Tops Of Trees Begin TO Inter.

Some Of Them Should Be Cut
Out for Best Results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculturel
When cut-Over land Is planted IN
hardwood seedlings, It may happen
that natural hushy growth will for
a few years Outgrow the planted trees,
overtop them or crowd them, and thus
interfere seriously with their develop
ment. To insure the proper develop
ment Of the seedlings, forest special
lists Of the United States Department
OF Agriculture say In Farmers Bulle-
tin 1923, Growing and Planting
Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm" It
is necessary to cut down the brush
for two or three years. When old
trees with wide-sprsading crowns
threaten to shade the seedlings so
they win not develop properly, the
bulletin suggests that such trees be
cut out few years after the new
planting has been started.
To produce clean-bodIed timber,
close spacing Is desirable. When the
tops of the trees begin to intermingie
and crowd each other, however, they
become like overcrowded vegetables In
a garden. Growth Is stagnated A
good gardener will pull some of the
vegetables in a garden that have
reached this condition. When trees
have reached a similar stage, some Of
them should be cut out. In both cases
the result is the best development OF
the remaining part rather than poor
development of the original number.
The best formed and most healthy
trees should be permitted TO remain.
and the others that are likely to inter-
fere with their growth should be re-
moved.
Trimmings are usually necessary
when a plantation becomes twenty
years old. sometimes sooner. The
openings In the crown-cOver of the
stand made by removing trees should
not be too large to prevent the growth
Of the remaining tree tops from COW
ering the gaps in from three to five
years. When poles are cut for farm
use, a crude form Of thinning may be
accomplished by care in the selection
of trees with view to the improve
ment Of the stand.
Pruning of tree branches Is usually
unnecessary, and, because Of the cost
of labor, undesirable II tree IL
pruned too far up It may become top
heavy and easily broken by severe
winds. The catalpa, ash and black
cherry are known to have suffered
from this, and 1t seems likely. the same
is true of many other species II, be-
cause Of wide spacing, pruning Is nee
essary, II should be conducted In late
winter or early spring, and should NOT
be overdone.
