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.

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.
