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

FEEDING MILK PROFITABLY.
Milk is undoubtedly the best feed
for young stock of all kinds, but some
care is needed iu feeding it to get tho
best results. When taken in (ho
natural way from the teat, the milk is
always warm, comes very slowly, and
is always mixed with some saliva from
the month which aids its digestion.
When milk is fed, oxcept in very small
quantities, these conditions are re
versed. How often havo wo seen an
entire pailful of skimmed milk placed
before a calf five or six weeks old, and
by it swallowed just as rapidly as the
milk can go down tho animal's throat.
If tho milk is cold, as it often is, can
it be wondered that the calf suffors
Trom scours? It is only the natural
'effort to rid the stomach of a mass it
cannot digest. Milk should never be
tho exclusive food of any except tho
very youngest animals. Its difficulty
of digestion uufiis it for being tho
main food of animals that can eat any
thing else. If for hogs it were always
fed sparingly with some grain, the
milk would produce much more pork
than the grain will without the milk.
It is an excellent supplement to corn
fed hogs, but grinding corn or oats
together or mixing brau or wheat
middlings with corn meal will, in part,
tako the place of milk by supplying
nitrogenous nutrition just as the milk
docs. —Boston Cultivator.
OIUIN FOR POULTRY.
Bulletin 100 (uew series) of the
Geneva (N. Y.) station gives reSults of
some experimental tests of the relative
value of whole grain aud tho saino
ground, for poultry. lucidentally,
some other interesting rosults wero 1
obtained.
It was thought host to use both I
large and small breeds in parallel ex
periments; henco two pens of Buffi
Cochins and two WhitoLeghorns wero
used.
The experiment extended over a
period of two years. Tho pen of Leg
horns having good grain laid moro
eggs tho seoond year than tho first;
while tho other three pens fell off in
egg production for the second yaar.
From the following records it will
be scon that for tho Cochins, whole
grain was best, and for Leghorns,
ground grain was tho best:
The Cochins having ground grain
consumed an average of 3 1-10 ounces
of water-free food each per day, at a
cost of $lO2 1 15 per hen por year,
and averaged 43J eggs weighing 95
I-10 ounoes. For every pound of
eggs produced they consumed 13
pounds of ivater-free food at a cost of
17 1-7 cents, or '2O cents par dozen.
Cost of food per hen, $1.02 1-5; value j
of oggs, 75 cents; lo3t on each hen,
27 1 5 cents.
The Cochins having whole grain ale
an average of 34 ounces n day, aud j
laid an average of 03; eggß each. For 1
every pound of eggs produced they J
ato 10 pounds of food costing 13 cents i
—l9 -1 -2 cents per dozen. Yearly cost
of food per hen, $1.03 1-3; value ofj
eggs laid, $1.05; ; profit por hen, I
nearly three cents.
The Leghorns having ground grain,
ate an averngo of 2 8-10 ounces food
per day aud laid 93 eggs each, weigh
ing 194 1-07 ounces. For every
pound of oggs produced they ate 5 1-3
pounds of food costing seven cents—
nearly II cents per dozen. Cost of
feeding each hen a year, 81J cents;
value of eggs laid, $1.33j ; not profit
per hen, 494 cents.
The Leghorns fed on whole grain,
ato an averago of 3 ounces of food per
day, aud produced 77 eggs each,
weighing 165 8 10 ounces. For one
pound of eggs produced they ate
li 1-12 pounds of food costing 8 1-12
cents—l 3 1-3 cents per dozen. Cost
of food for each hen a year, 954 conts ;
value of eggs laid, sl.ll j ; net profit
por hen por year. 28 cents.
Allowing for the cost of hatshing
nnd growing the pullets for these ex
periments, thoso having whole grain
returnod an averago profit tho first
year of 18 per cent., and thoo fed
grouud grain gavo a profit of 08 per
cent.
HANDLING STABLE MANURE.
In a recent issue, a contributor
gives a number of rules for handling
stable manure, writes H. Thomas, of
Imlinua, to the American Agricultur
ist. His first rule is never pileiu the
field, but scatter from the wagou. If
he refers to putting tho manure in
small heaps to be scattered or spread
just before plowing, I agree with him,
but if ho advises never to compost I
do not agree with him. Situated as I
am, just ou the edge of the city, I
havo been able to get large quantities
of manure. I have tried every cou
ceivable experiment iu applying ma
nure, aud after yoars of careful study
and observation of the different tosts
made by myself aud others, I have
come to the conclusion that to get the
beet results from stable manure it
must bo composted either in the field
or barn lot. As I haul hundreds of
loads of manure from the city, my
rule 'a to make one or more heaps in
different fields, so that when it comes
to spreading I oan get it where I want
it without having to haul more than
twenty rods from the heap. 1 spread
from the wagou and plow under as
soon after spreading as possible.
Your contributor says he hauls and
spreads his manure while the ground
is yet frozen, and the spring rains
wash it into the soil. Now if tho spring
rains come, as they frequently do, bo
fore the frost is out of the ground,
tho part of the manure which is rich
est in plaut food is washed out and
carried nway. I have seen the dark
colored wafor running down in little
rivulets into a stream twenty rods
away from where I had spread ma
nure on frozoa ground. By properly
composting manure the plaut food is
renderod more available, and one load
of the well-eompostod material is
worth almost two in the fresh state.
Careful experiments have proven that
in the compost heap much of the use
less organic matter is reduced, the
amount of nitrogen not materially
lessened, and tho quantity of soluble
ash greatly increased, Of course, if
in compcsting, the manure ia thrown
out of the slable uuder the eaves of
the baru, as it accumulates, und is al
lowed to lay there without any care
or attention until dranu out and
spread, probably spreading at once
would be best. But if tho heap is
properly made, the sidos built up
straight, tho top kept level, so it will
catch all the rain and suow, and kept
tramped down solid so the heap will
not get too hot and lire fauged, forked
over once or twice to break it up and
tino if down, thoro can bo uo question
but that composting is the bosk prac
tice.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.'
You should manage not to keen a
fowl or chick nny longer than it is a
source of income.
The knowing just what to soil and
just when to sell is often the difference
between success and failure.
It is no use feeding n lot of chicks
that arc of uo use only for tho pot;
sell them ami use the money to buy
feed for tho rest.
If one nould succeed intelligently
he must go to some trouble and expense
to get tho use of the host sires, and
must not stand on a few dollars extra
for their use.
There is a great difference of opinion
as to what filth is. Generally it emits
a disagreeable scent. A stinking bar
rel or hog trough is uot cleanliness,
nor is a bad smelling hog pen.
A good quality of wool cannot be
obtained from sheep which are allowed
to grow poor two or three times a
year, and are in good condition only
when the season is favorable ; in fact,
failure is the price of neglect more
often than wo think.
The sucking pigs may ho crowing
nicely, but do not choat yourself with
a false idea of the profits unless you
aro also observing the mother. She
may bo falling off as fast as her pro
geny is gaining. Give hor the best
food obtainable to keep up both llesh
and llow of milk.
Take good care that tho pigs have a
sufficient supply of salt, ashes aud
charcoal; keep it in a box under shel
ter where they can help themselves,
and never let tho supply entirely run
out. There is uo danger of them eat
ing too much, for their own cravings
will mcusuro that.
By proper care and management
the calf raised by Laud will develop
just as rapidly as if it ha I run with
the cow, and it is very certain that it
will cost much less. I)o not let it ruu
with the eow at all. Peed at the start
now milk only, and feed often ; never
let it overload its slomach.
The principal ingredients of eggs
aro lime, nitrogen and phosphoric
acid. Green bones, which have been
hitherto thrown away, aro tho best
and cheapest egg making materialsox
taut; and this is because boues aro
rich in albumen, phosphate of lime
aud phosphoric acid. In short actual
waste may be converted into eggs com
manding a high price.
A t'liureli for Each Person
'the man who bravely abandons all
forms of faith and creates a church all
for himsolf, without any prusolytos,
adhereDts, followers or disciples, is
surely worthy of ndmiration, writes
.Sir Walter Besaut in tho Queen. A
church all for himself; if a Christian
church all for himself, the more ad
mirably is his courage. Well! the
tliiug has been done ; it has bcefl done,
uot by one man only, but by two or
three, each one of whom has created
his own church for himself. New Zoa
laud is the place. There they have re
cently held a religious census.
of tho whole t.hero is ouu "Esoteric
Christian," one "Salvation Catholic,' 1
one "Natist," and one "Truist,"
It is a long way to New Zealand, but
in imagination one can see those four
profound thinkers standing each at
tho door of his own church, ringing
the boll for himself, the congregation.
At tho sorvice of the "Natist" ono can
uot assist even in imagination. The
mystery of that form of faith cannot
be so muoh as guessed. All by him

AN ODD BUT I'IIKTTV FORTIEHE.
A dainty but simply prepared hnug
lug for a small doorway was recently
devised by an ingenious woman. In
the lirst place she scut to * largo seed
house and purchased a quantity of the
beeds known as Job's tears. These
grow in Indin aud resemble small,
pearly gray shells. These seeds she
threaded upou gray liucn spool
thread, cut in lengths to reach from
the floor to the small brass rod which
extended across the upper part of the
doorway. Tho seeds were put ou with
spaces about ono aud a half inches left
between. The needle must not be too
coarse, beoause if too large nu open
iug is made through the seed for the
thread to fill, the seed will afterward
slip. The thread should draw through
tho seed rather hard. Of course a
knot was ruado to hold tho lirst seed,
after which they were simply strung
iu place, and us a string was finished
it was tied to tho rod, beginning at
one side of tbo doorway. This pre
vented the threads from becoming
tangled by tying.
Alter a suflieiout number of threads
had been finished to till two-thirds of
the doorway, several shorter threads
were strung and tied along the middle
Bpace. A pair ol horns was then
placed above tho middle of the door
way and these shorter threads were
caught up in a careless shower, over
the horns. The effect was better than
that usually atlainod by filling the
entire doorway with full-length
pendants.
The strings did not tangle readily,
a9 might be supposed they would ; tbs
labor of preparing is light and pleas
ant, aud the result attaiued is iu cverv
way desirable.—New England Homo
