Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion of tho ear. There la
only one way to euro Catarrhal Deafness,
and that Is .by a constitutional remedy.
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through tho Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamod condition of the
mucous lining of tho Eustachian Tube,
when this tubo Is Inflamed you havo a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when It Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can bo re
duced and this tube restored to Its nor
mal condition, hearing: may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
canned by Catarrh, which Is an inflamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

COUNT SCHOOL NOTES
W. E. VOSS, Superintendent
The question of legal holidays that
apply to schools is one that conies Up
every year, and brings with it its an
nual troubles and misunderfatanding?
which havo no real foundation for
existing. The only reason that I
can seo why we have to contend with
these things is because we have peo
ple who create law in the minds of
the public covering that which meets
their own convenience. On the oth
er hand, there are members of the
public who fr-11 for this buncombe
because it serves to get away from
work and affords an opportunity to
carry out the falderal of life at
some one's expense. To make more
certain that this scheme can be,
worked, it seems that some people
were anxious to have the matter of
holidays covered in tho school law
books. Accordingly, they mihst have
persuaded the publishers of tho
school law books to insert Section
5512 of the Negotiable Instrument
Jaw so that they could conveniently
point to it to induce the unsuspect
ing authorities to permit the taking
of the holiday sought. Yet for all
of this, I wish to assure you that there
are no legal holidays in Nebraska for
schools, except those granted by the
board, I-may- add, too, that therfy
lire nu iumu nuiiuuys ul mi in axijiiriw-
ka except Sundnys. -The so-called
legal holidays that we have in thik
state merely govern the dating nnd
dealing in commercial papers, and,
accordingly, major business transact
ions. I hope that hereafter no teach
ers will close their schools for holi
days except for those set aside by
their school boards.

Cull Out the Cockcrclls
On nearly all tho farms in Nebras
ka poultry is kept; as a sido line. It
may be either profitable or unprofit
able according to the system of poul
try management. One of, the many
things that' cause considerable loss
in the flock is the presence of many
cock birds and cockerels of indiffer
ent quality, says the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture. These birds
not only take up valuable floor space,
which,. in so many cases is Inadequate
for the hens and pullets, and cat a
great of the ftfod that tho laying
hens need tu manufacture egg whites
but they continually worry the hens
and pullets to such an extent that
egg production is very frequently
sacrificed to some extent. A great
number of the prly developed pul
lets owe their condition to the pres
ence of cockerels during the late
summer nnd early fall, It is true
that at present cockerels and cock
birds are not bringing n very high
price on tho market, but there aie
many that would better be given
away than kept in the flock with
their disturbing influence.
In warm weather the quality of
eggs is reduced about twenty per
cent by the male birds fertilizing thu
eggs. These fertile eggs will start
to hatch at seventy degrees and fre
quently after twenty-four hours of
such tempernture, the yolk will show
a very decided "natch spot." Even in
the winter, time many eggs nre held
in the house where the temperature
causes fertila eggs to depreciate in
quality.
It will be .nuch better to sell all of
your male blrd3 unless there are
some that show unusual vigor and
standard qunll'los. If any male birds
are kept for breeders, they should be
penned separately. Next rpring, in
the breeding season, good male birds
can bo purchased at a price quite
reasonable wlnn you consider tho
feed, care nnd flisturbance that go
with keeping thorn through the winter.

Mulching is one of the essentials of
successful strawberry culture, says
the Nebraska, C. liege of Agriculture.
Its chief purposes are to prevent
heaving the plants by alternate
freezing and thawing and to prevent
injury from Jry winds in tho winter.
A mulch nlso helps to conserve mois
ture in tho spring months; It keeps
down weeds; it may be used to ro
tard blooming in the spring If that
seems advisable.
Wheat straw is as near tho ideal
mulch as can be obtained but even
here grain reir.ninlng In the straw
may give trouble by germinating,
Oat straw may be used but tends to
pack Bomewli.it tightly. Prairie hay
or cornstalks am not suitable because
of their coar.M'iiof.s.
Tho mulch should be applied soon
after the first f.eeze. It should bo
spread uniformly between and over
the rows, to a depth of 4 to 0 Inches,
