When this tube gets in flamed you havo a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless tho inflam mation can ba taken out aiul this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine coses out ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of tho mucous surfaces.

One can ride nearly across the State of Michigan and see on almost every farm from ten to forty acres of beans. Here wo use a com bined harvester and planter, with which one man and team can plant from ten to fifteen acres in n day, and pull them in tho same time. They can also be cultivated with a riding cultivator, which makes beans the cheapest cultivated crop grown, so far as labor and expense are concerned. We aim to plant in early summer, . taking care to have our ground well | prepared. With the planter we can | plant the rows thirty, thirty-two or j thirty-four inches apart, and from \ twelve to thirty inches apart in tho row, planting in hills of from three to ten beans in a hill. With a riding two-horse cultivator we cultivate from two to four times, and by September Ist pull with the puller, which, when properly handled, will not sheila peck of beans on ten acres, no matter how ripe they may be; this allows plenty of time to foilow with wheat if wanted to seed down, or with rye t > pasture or plow under. The bean crop hero is threshed entirely by machinery, and is destined soon to become tho leading crop in Michigan.—American Agriculturist. I*ARM AVD GARDEN XOKI. Clematis likes water. Mulch the sweet peas. Chilled buttermilk makes a refresh ing drink. The successful da'rvmnn feeds and milks the cows regularly. The temper dure of the milk is an item of first importance. If you have not started a compost heap for next year's use, do it now. Unless water Ls plenty, don't take the fresh mown grass iron the lawn. tseethat th" .hay stacks in the meadow are well secured before the stock i:. : turned in. The sho: t. r the silage is cut the bet ter. Half an inch or less gives the best results. To get tho most good from brm it should bo fed along with corn and sim ilar food stuff- 1 . In raising tomatoes employ those fertilizers which give up their food ma terials quickly. If rains wash off tho insecticide or fungicide, renew it as quickly r.s pos sible after rain ceases. Top dressing of good manure upon tho timothy field will be quickly pro ductive of good remits. If the clover pasture has dried up feed the shoats fresh cut corn and keej pushing them right along. Don't wait till the grass is wood he fore you cut it. There is more milk and butter iu early cut grass. Fairly strong Walnut water is re commended as an excellent wash for horses troubled with insect pests. Tho best animals for the farmer are those which keep in a good and thrifty condition with very little difficulty. Provide shade, water and succulent food for the milch cows during a dry spell, if you would have them do well. Do not feed the horses 011 an ex clusively rough ration at this time of the year, but give a supply of grain feed. These scorching days a fresh, fragrant bouquet is doubly grateful to the sick and the aged; do not neglect or forget them. Don't force any more new growth on plants that arc to winter out, but allow the growth already formed to ripen. The man who works with well laid plans is seldom crowded with work; he is iu a position to do the crowding himself. Lime greatly stimulates and makes active the inert elements of the soil, and makes them available in plant growth. All milk utensils are better cleaned if rinsed with cold or lukewarm water j before scalding water or steam is ap plied to them. A perfect Cheddar cheese is one that lias a clear skin, that is white in color, solid and firm in texture, and that has a slightly nutty flavor. A kind master is one who has the horse's good will, and such a man can get more work out of them than one who treats them harshly. Young orchards are very apt to be injured if not ruined by overbearing. Young trees need growth. The heavy crop should come afterwards. At this time of the year extra teams are in demand for farm work. It is poor policy to buy them if you cannot keep them in good condition. It does not hurt the horse now if he is allowed to work without shoes. Unless there is an abundance of rocks, it is not necessary to have them shod. Do not wait too long before cutting up the corn if you wish tho fodder to bo "the best." The name warning is to be heeded if you are going to silo it. On seeing a young coon in an oak, near Cincinnati, a boy climbed the tree, with the intention of capturing the animal. AH he neared the top an old coon attacked him from behind.
