THE VALUE OF ALFALFA. W. S. Delano, of Lee Park, recen tly read a paper on Alfalfa Culture before the farmer's institute held in Ausley, Custer county, and among other things said: It is estimated by Kansas and Nebraska growers that hogs can be grown tor 1 cent per pound on alfalfa. If this be true anyone can readily estimate the profit when it is considered how late the corn is required to fin ish for market. One man in this state reports that in 1893 he had sixty pigs farrowed in June when the mothers were rimning on alfal fa pasture. Twenty-one barrows in this lot at ten months averaged 325 pounds. Another says in 1894 on twelve acres of alfalfa I am pas turing 175 hogs and twelve cattle and in this dry season they are all doing well. Another reports for 1893 two "tons ot alfalfa hay per acre, two of straw and fourteen bushels of seed. The hay and straw were worth S20 j and the seed sold for $7 per bushel making S11S per acre for the field. This, of course, is a rare instance but among several hundred reports from Nebraska and Kansas in the writer's possession none discredit the profits of alfalfa growing. 1 -believe the valleys of central Nebraska are as well adapted to BROS i FAI afford to miss such a chance the store are as low as the lowest. alfalfa growing as those further south and when the farmers awaken to the possibilities of this plant and large acres of our territories are covered with luxuriant alfalfa we will find our stock can be carried from one end of the year to the other regardless of drouths and such years as 1890 and 1894 will have no terrors for the people of the state of Nebraska.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as thoy cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by im inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, Deafness is the result, and un it ss the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition f the mucous surfaces. We will give Qno Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. P. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
