The ear la a very delioate and sensitive
structure. It consists of the internal, mid
dle and external oar. The external ear re
ceives sounds; the middle ear conveys
sounds; the internal ear distributes the
sounds to the proper portion of the brain.
The sound is convoyed through the middle
ear by a chain of threo minute delicate
bones. Those bones are covered with thin,
pink mucous mombrane.
The facility to hear depends in a great
measure upon tho normal condition of this
mombrane. When the membrane becomes
congested by catarrh, it is liable to thicken
and is no longer sonsitivo to tHo vibrations
of air. The hearing is dulled, ami if the
catarrh is not treated, total deafness will
eventually follow.
It is of the utmost importance then, to be
gin the use of Pe-ru-na as soon as the slight
est difficulty of hearing is uoticed. Fo-ru-na
will quickly ami permanently restore the
hearing when tho deafness is caused by ca
tarrh.

FEEDING MIT.K FROFITABLY.
Milk is undoubtedly the best feed
for young stock of all kinds, but some
care is needed in feeding it to get the
best results. When taken in the
natural way from the teat, the milk is
always warm, comes very slowly, and
is always mixed with somo saliva from
the mouth which aids its digestion.
When milk is fed, oxeept in very small
quantities, these conditions are re
versed. How often havo wo scon an
entire pailful of skimmed milk plaoed
before a calf five or six weeks old, and
by it swallowed jnst as rapidly as the
milk can go down the animal's throat.
If the milk is cold, as it often is, can
it be wondered that tho calf suffers
from scours? It is only the natural
effort to rid the stomach of a mass it
cauuot digest. Milk should never be
tho exolusive food of any oxcept tho
very youngest animals. Its difficulty 1
of digestion unfits it for being tho
main food of animals that can oat any
thing else. If for hogs it were always 1
fod sparingly with some grain, the 1
milk would produce much more pork
than tho grain will without the milk.
It is an cxoollent supplement to corn
fed hogs, but grinding corn or als
together or mixing bran or wheat
middlings with corn meal will, in part,
take tho place of milk by supplying
nitrogenous nutrition just as thu inilk
does.—Boston Cultivator.
OIIAIN FOB POULTRY.
Bulletin 10G (new serios) of the
Geneva (N. Y.) station gives rosults of .
somo experimental tests of tho rclativo
valuo of whole grain and tho samo
ground, for ponltry. Incidentally,
somo other interesting rosults were
obtainod.
It was thought best to uso both
large and small breeds in parallel ex
periments; heneo two pens of Buff
Cochins and two WhitoLeghorns were
used.
The experiment extended over a
period of two years. The pen of Leg
horns having good grain laid more 1
eggs tho second year than tho first; 1
while tho other three pons fell off in
egg production for the second y*ar.
From the following records it will
be seou that for the Cochins, whole 1
grain was best, and for Leghorns,
ground grain was the best:
Tho Cochins having ground grain
cousumod an avorago of 3 4-10 ounces
of water-free food each per day, at a
coat of $lO2 1 15 per hen per year,
and avoragod 43.J eggs weighing 95
4-10 ounoes. For every pound of
eggs produced tboy consumed 13
pounds of water-free food at a cost of
17 1-7 cents, or 20 cents per dozen.
Cost of food per hen, 81.02 1-5; value
of eggs, 75 cents; lo3t on each lieu,
27 1 5 cents.
Tho Cochins having whole grain ate
nn average of 3J ounces a day, aud
laid an uveragoot 03; eggß unoli. B'or
every pound of oggs produced they
ate 10 pounds of food costing 13 cents
—l9 4-2 cents per dozen. Yearly cost
of food per hen, 81.03 1-3; value of
eggs laid, 81.05J ; profit per hen,
nearly three cents.
The Leghorns having ground grain,
ate an average of 2 8-19 ounces food
per day and laid 93 eggs eaoh, weigh
ing 194 1-07 ounces. For every
pound of eggs produced they ate 5 1-3
pounds of food costing seven cents—
nearly 11 eents por dozen. Cost of
feeding eaoh hen a year, 841 cents;
value of eggs laid, 81.33; ; net profit
per hen, 49* cents.
Tho Leghorns fed on wholo grain,
ate an nverage of 3 ouncos of food per
day, and produced 77 eggs eaoh,
weighing 105 8 10 ounces. For ouo
pound of eggs produood they ate
0 1-12 pounds of food costing 8 1-12
cents —13 1-3 cents per dozen. Cost
of lood for each hen a year, 95i cents;
vnluo of oggs laid, 81.11 J ; net profit
per hou per yeur, 20 ceuts.
Allowing lor the cost of hatching!
and growing tho pullets for tbetu ex-'
perimeuts, those having whole grain 1
l-eturuod an nverago profit tho first l
year of 48 per cent., and those fed I
ground grain gave a profit of 08 per !
cent.
HANDLING HTABLE MANURE.
In a recent issue, a contributor !
gives a number of rules for handling <
atable manure, writes H. Thomas, of '
Indiana, to the American Agricultur
ist. His first rule is never pile in tho j
field, but scatter from the wagon. If
ho refers to putting tho manure in
small heaps to be scattered or spread
just before plowing, I agree with him,
but if ho advises uever to compost I
do not agree with him. Situated as I
am, just on tho edge of the city, I
have been able to get large quantities
of manure. I have tried every con
ceivable experiment in applying ma
nure, and after years of careful study
and observatioc of tho different tests
made by myself aud others, I have
come to the conolnsion that to get the
best results from Btable manure it
must be composted either in the field
or barn lot. As I haul hundreds of
loads of manure from the city, mv
rule *s to make one or more heaps in
different fields, so that whon it comes
to spreading I can get it where I want
it without having to haul more than
twenty rods from tho heap. 1 spread
from tho wagon and plow under as
soon after spreading nB possible.
Your contributor says he hau'ls'and 1
spreads his manure whilo the ground
is yet frozen, and the spring rains
wash it into the soil. Mow if the spring
rains come, as they frequently do, be
fore the frost is out of tho ground,
tho part of tho manure which is rich
est in plant lood is washed out and
carried nway. I have soon the dark
colored water running down in little
rivulets into n stream twenty rods
away from where I had spread ma
nure on frozen ground. By properly
composting manure the plant food is
rendorod more available, and one load
of tho woll-composted material is
worth almost two in tho fresh state.
Caroful experiments havo proven that
in tho compost heap much of tho use
less organic matter is reduced, the
amount of nitrogen not materially
lessened, and the quantity of soluble
ash greatly increased. Of course, if
in compcsting, the mnnure is thrown
out of the stablo under the oaves of
the barn, us it nceumulates, und is al
lowed to lay thero without any euro
or attention until drawn out and
spread, probably spreading at once
woald bo best. But if tho heap is
properly made, the sides built up
straight, tho top kept level, so it will
catch all the rain and snow, ami kept
tramped down solid so tho heap will
not get too hot and Hre-fanged, forked
over once or twice to break it up and
line it down, tbero can be no question
but that composting is tho best prac
tice.
rami AND GARDEN NOTES.'
You should manage not to keen a
fowl or chick any longer thuu it is a
source of income.
The knowing just what to tell and
just when to soli is often the difference
between success and failure.
It is no use feeding a lot of chicks
that are of no uso only for thu pot;
sell them and use thu money to buy
feed for the rest.
If ouo would succeed intelligently
he must go to some t rouble aud expense
to get the use of the best sires, aud
must not stand ou a few dollars extra
for their use.
There is a great difference of opinion
as to what filth is. Generally it emits
a disagreeahlo scent. A stiuking bar
rel or hog trough is not cleanliness,
nor is a bad smelling hog pen.
A good quality of wool cannot bo
obtained from sheep which are allowed
to grow poor two or three times a
year, aud are in good eonditiou only
when tho season is favorable; in faot,
failure is tho price of neglect more
often than we thinTi.
The stiokiug pigs may ho growing
nicely, but do not client yourself with
a lalso idea of tho profits unless you
aro also observing the mother. She
may bo falling off as fast as her pro
geny is gnining. Give her thu best
food obtainable to keep up both Hush
aud How of milk.
Take good care that tho pigs have a
sufficient supply of salt, ashes and
ebareoal; keep it in a box under shel
ter where they can help themselves,
and never let tho supply entirely run
out. There is no danger of them eat
ing too mncb, for their own cravings
will measure that.
By proper care and management
the calf raised by hand will develop
just as rapidly as if it had run with
the cow, and it is very certain that it
will cost much lees. Do not let it run
with the cow at all. Feed at the start
new milk only, nnd feed often; never
let it overload its stomach.
Tho principal ingredients of eggs
are lime, nitrogen and phosphoric
acid. Green hones, which have been
hitherto thrown away, are tho best
and cheapest egg making material ex
tant; aud this is because bones aro
rich in albumen, pbospbato of lime
and phosphoric ncicl. In short actual
waste may be converted into ogga com
manding a high prico.
A Church for Each Person
'1 ho inau who bravely abandons all
forms .of faith and creates a church all
for himself, without any prosolytes,
adherents, followers or disciples, is
surely worthy of admiration, writes
.Sir Walter Besant in tho Queen. A
church all for himself; if a Christian
church all for himself, tho inoro ad
mirably is his courage. Woll! the
thing has beon done ; it bas been doue,
not by one man only, but by two or
throe, each one of whom has created
his own church for himself. New Zea
land is the place. There they havo re
cently held a religious census. Out
of tho wliolo there is one "Esoteric
Christian," one "Salvation Catholic,'*
ono "Natist," aud one "Truist."
It is a long way to New Zealand, but
iu imagination one can ceo tboso four
profound thiukcrs standing each at
tho door of his own church, ringing
tho bell for himself, the congregation.
At tho service of the "Natist" one can
not assist even iu imagination. Tho
mystery of that form of faith cannot
be so much as guessed. All by him
self! Think of tho dreariness of it!
Heaven itself designed for him by
himself 1 Think of tho louesomoness !

is tho only man who could adequately
tackle the situation. And ho has gone
and now presumably sits among a

AN ODD BUT PRETTY PORTIERE.
A dainty but simply prepared hang
ing for a small doorway was recently
devised by nu ingenious woiuau. In
the lirst place sho sent to n large seed
boose and purchased a quantity of the
seeds known as Job's tears. Thsso
grow in India aud resemble small,
pearly gray shells. Those seeds she
threaded upon gray linen spool
thread, cut in lengths to reach from
the floor to tho small brass rod which
extended across Hie upper part of the
doorway. The seeds were put ou with
spaces about one and a half inches left
between. The needle must not bo too
coarse, because if too large nu open
ing is made through the seed for tho
thread to fill, the seed will afterward
slip. The thread should draw through
tho seed rather hard. Of course a
knot was made to hold tho first seed,
after which they were simply strung
in place, nnd ns a string was finished
it was tied to the rod, beginning at
one side of tho doorway. This pre
vented tho threads from bocoming
tangled by tying.
After a sufiiciout number of threads
hail been liuishud to fill two-thirds of
the doorway, several shorter threads
wore strung and tied along tho middle
space. A pair ot horns was then
placed above tho middle o! tho door
way and these shorter threads were
caught up iu a careless shower, over
tho horns. The effect was better than
that usually attained by filling the
entire doorway with full-length
pendants.
The strings did not tangle readily,
as might be supposed they would ; the
labor of preparing is light and pleas
ant, and the result attaiucd is in evorv
way desirable.—New England Home

A Solid Itssifl.
Gold is a solid basis of financial transac

for us. It is'so in the physical conditions. If by
some carelessness or exposure to sudden cold
the muscles of the back are contracted and
stiffened, we have at once lumbago, or lame
back, sometimes called "crick in the back,"
which is disabling and unfits all who have it
for any activity. Now. to got back to n solid
basis of health and strength, St. .laeobs Oil
should at once be used to relax the twisted
