Citarrhtl Deafness Cannot De Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tho ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
ana that Is by a constitutional remedy.
HALL'S CATAIUIH MEDICINE nets
through ths Blood on tho Mucous Surfaces
of tho System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining' of tho Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is Inflamed you have a
rumbling? sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when It Is entirely closed. Deafness Is tho
result. Unless tho Inflammation can bo re
duced and this tube restored to Its nor
mal condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which Is an Inflamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
care of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HALL'S CATARRH

Sec Need of Horse llri'i'dlng
The efort of the State College of
Argiculture to stimulate hor.se breed
ing has received praise from several
sections of tho state. One farmer
visiting the College recently said he
urn not believe there were more thrtn
a dozen geldings in his county.
. .. ..:
It
was his opinion that farmers will
have to buy horses at high prices in
order to meet their own needs, unless
I breeding is stimulated. A year or
'two ago the opinion prevailed in
some sections that the time was ap
proaching when horses would no long
er be needed. Now many believe
that the horse will always remain
the primary motive power on the
farm. Last fall horses were selling
at rather low prices. Before spring
work opened, however, the demand
was strong and the price hod mater
ially advanced. It now looks like
horses would continue to commano a
price out of proportion to other farm
products.

State Sends Eggs to Europe
The State College of Agriculture
recently made a shipment of eggs to
Czecho Slovakia. The eggs were
White Plymouth Rocks and Rhode
Island Reds nnd were fresh from high
laying ancestry. This new European
government is enueavoring to lm
prove Its agriculture and desires to
induce its people to adopt some good
American breeds of poultry. The suc
cess of the Nebraska Colleire of Air
riculture in develonintr hitrh lavini?
strains of poultry has attracted at
tention in many states and in sever
al foreign countries. The College
is going on the theory that noultrv
should be bred for egg production
nnd not for fine feathers, as was once
the ideal of breeders. It has devel
oped a number of hens which have
records of 200 or more eggs in a
year.
