Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucoiK lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have' a rumbling 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, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

HOUSE FOR THE FARM FLOCK

Material Used Does Not Figure as Much in Economy as Shape Allowing Use of All Room. It is not so much the materials that enter into the construction of a poultry house that means economy as it is the style or shape that allows for making use of every inch of room. The house shown in the accompanying plans is economical in cost, will take charge of a good-sized flock of hens and allow for additions to be put on

Front Elevation.

from time to time as the flock is increased, writes Thomas F. Maher of New York in the Farm and Home. The roosting room is placed in the central part of the house and the roosts are in such a position that no drafts can possibly reach the hens. The ventilator, with openings close to the floor, tends to draw the fresh air from the windows toward the roosts, and carries impure air out, while an abundance of fresh air is around the hens. For a foundation brick or concrete can be used, but for cheapness sheet metal can be used and the house built on posts. In this case it is advisable to use a double floor. Before nailing the flooring it is a good plan to tack wire netting on the beams to prevent rats from gnawing through. The house is 27 feet 8 inches long and 18 feet wide. The following bill of material will give the principal

Floor Plan.

Items needed to construct it. In the case of window frames, for instance, I a saving can be made by boxing in the | openings and having the sash strike against a strip tackecj on the frame thus made. 145 2x4’s 10 feet, 15 2x4’s 24 feet for rafters, 550 feet flooring, 800 feet siding, 800 feet Inside sheathing, 6 rolls roofing, 22 2x6’s 10 feet, 1 bearing bear 20 feet long 4x6, 700 feet roofing boards, 40 linear feet %x 4 for door jambs, 4 doors 2-6x6-6, 1 door frame and outside door 2-6x6-8, 3 window frames with storm sash to fit, 3 barn sash 20x24 inches, 32 linear feet 1%x4 for corner boards. The other materials needed for roosts, etc., can generally be found around the place.

POULTRY NOTES

The lazy hen is seldom the profitable hen. Desirable eggs are said to weigh about 24 ounces to the dozen. It is as an egg producer that the Indian Runner duck has gained the most fame. On every farm poultry should not only have a place, but a prominent place. The Indian Runner duck Is not inclined to fatten so readily as other varieties. Rigid culling Is absolutely necessary if you would keep the flock In the best shape. Ducks as a rule are hardy. They do not have gapes. The weakest part of a duck is its legs. In case some of the cockerels need to be eaten or sold on a fancy market it pays to put them in a crate and fatten them for two weeks. As an article of diet, if provided by a competent chef, the green duck resembles the famous and fast disappearing canvass back duck. For hens that have learned to eat their own eggs a shell filled with mustard, aloes, or red pepper will help to break up the unfortunate habit. Turkey eggs may be hatched in the Incubator very nicely, but uhless you have a number of hens it is hard to get enough fresh eggs to fill a machine. >, The meat of yarded poultry is always more tender than 1 that of fowls having free range, due to the extreme muscular development of the latter. It requires about Tour geese to make a pound of feathers. Picking live geese for their feathers is a practice that has been discontinued in this country. It is estimated that it requires the feathers from about ten ducks to make a pound. The sale of which just about pays the cost of dressing the fbwls for market A plant of Swiss chard sown adjoining the poultry yard will supply greens all summer, provided the fowls are not allowed to eat it more than an hour a day.

Big Business PRIVATE CAR EXCURSION JUNE 18 WE HEAR A GOOD DEAL about “Big Business” nowadays, but after all is said and done and we “»et back to earth again” it must be admitted that land and agriculture constitute the biggest “big business” there is. PRODUCTS OF THE UNITED STATES are roughly estimated at $30,000,000,000 yearly, including agriculture, manufactures, forests, mines and fisheries. Agriculture contributes one-fourth of this vast sum to the wealth of the Nation, and no other one source produces more than 30 per cent, of what is produced by agriculture.

AGRICULTURE IS THE ONE “Big Business" where you don't have to buy certificates of stock to "get in.” only to find you have no vdlee in the management. THE TROUBLE TO ANTICIPATE ibout agriculture is that land is becoming so valuable that it takes more and more capital to buy it every year; and those who are forever putting it off will some day awaken and find it the same did story—too late—out of reach. THE BEAUTY OF THE SWlgart lands is that a man who will act now has a real chance—the lands are near to the great’ markets of Chicago, Milwaukee. Grand Rapids and Detroit’, and the location in Mason. Manistee and latke Cotinties—the center of Michigan's Fruit Belt—is all that can be desired. AMPLE TRANSPORTATION by both lake and rail, and the local markets, including Ludington and Manistee, with 30.000 population, are excellent. The soil is of the best in Michigan, very productive of all the staple crops .and vegetables and especially adapted to growing tine flavored apples, peaches. pears, /cherries, plums, etc. Often one crop of potatoes pays for the. entire cost of the land. QUALITY AND LOCATION considered, there is no land in Mlcnigan lower priced or that promises a mah quicker returns and profits on his investment. Prices now are $lO to $35. and on much of the land only sl6 per acre. The average man can't buy the expensive land in the neighboring states The terms of s|o to SSO down and $., to $lO per month on 40 acres enable most anyone to buy here. While buying it, if you should die. the farm will be deeded to your family free.
