March 30, 1901. Gentlemen : Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago ray right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. 1 underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I the:: saw your advertisement acciden ally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing i:i the diseased car has been entirely restored. Ithankyou heartily-and beg to remain Very truly vonrs. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway. Baltimore, Md.

Of Interest to the Farmers. Fertilizing Cotton. By the time this appears in print a good many,farmers will be making their arrangements to buy fertilizer for another season’s crop. I wonder how many of my readers really know what they want in a fertilizer for this crop, and how many simply leave the question for the dealers to decide? Naturally the fanner who reads knows a great deal more about this matter than the farmer who does not. But still the amount of ignorance displayed in regard to fertilizers by farmers who should know better is astonishing. “Yes,” said a fertilizer dealer to me last spring, “most of my I customers leave me to decide what fertilizer they need for any given crop. They ask me fora good fertilizer for cotton or melons, or I potatoes, and I do the best I can for them.” But how can a fertilizer dealer know the conditions which | surround his customer or tell what their soil requires in a fertilizer? It is a question which every farmer must decide for himself. It is a very' important question and its proper decision may mean the saving of hundreds of dollars to the individual in question. A short time ago I had a conversation on this subject with a Mr. W. I). Hammack, who is a member of the Georgia legislature and a large cotton planter. Air. Hammack said he had tried a great many different kinds of fertilizers on cotton, but had finally settled down to the following as best for his land. I give it just as he told it to me, as it makes the formula very simple and easily understood: “200 pound sack of high grade acid phosphate, a ioo pound sack of cottonseed meal, and a ioo pound sack of kainit emptied together and thoroughly mixed, making 400 pounds of fertilizer. This gives a verv well balanced fertilizer for cotton on most soils. The follow ing is the analysis it gives us and the way to find it: We have 200 pounds of 14 per cent, acid phosphate; this gives 28 pounds of phos phoric acid, and as there are 400 pounds of fertilizer in all, we divide the 28 by 4, which shows us that we have 7 per cent, of phosphoric acid. There are 8 pounds of ammonia in the 100 pounds of cotton seed meal—we therefore divide the 8 by 4, and this gives 2 per cent, of ammonia. We also have 100 pounds of kainit, which contains a little over 12 pounds of potash, and by dividing this by 4 we find that our fertilizer contains about 3 per cent, of potash. Putting it all together the analysis reads, phosphoric acid, 7 percent.; ammonia, 2 per cent; potash, 3 per cent.” Mr. Hammack said, furthermore, that “he considered kainit the best form of potash for cotton. There is something,” he said, “in this product which helps the cotton independent of the potash it contains. It is the best preventative of rust I have ever seen. Where I used it this year my cotton remained thrifty and green all summer; while where it was not used the rust injured the cotton badly. I generally use 300 pounds or 400 pounds of this fertilizer to the acre on my cotton and it pays me well.” , We have in the above a standard fertilizer which would cost us on the market about S2O per ton. If we purchased the materials for cash and mixed them ourselves, it would only cost us about sl6. The analysis of the fertilizer given above is nearly perfect for cotten on the ordinary clay loam soil. If your land is very sandy, the fertilizer should contain more potash, preferably 4 per cent, and 3 per cent, of ammonia instead of 2 per cent. On stiff, red soils not so much potash is needed, and the phosphoric acid can be increased. In my own experience I have found 400 pounds or 500 pounds of fertilizer a good amount to apply per acre, for cotton. The past season, where we applied different quantities of fertilizer, from 100 to 400 pounds per acre, every increase of 100 pounds in the fertilizer gave us something over xoo pounds increase in seed cotton. The land and the cultivation were the same in all cases. This shows that it will pay to use fertilizers in liberal quantities on cotton. Battle Hill, Ga. F. J. Mkkriam in Atlanta Journal. A Good Farm Story. The Charleston News and Courier is famous for its stories of wonderful achievements by South Carolina farmers, but it has also a reputation for reliability that causes most of these reports to pass at par. One of the latest of the series tells of a Mr. W. M. Goodson, a Darlington county farmer, who cleared above all expenses last year $1,440 on two-and-a-half acres of tobacco. We are not surprised to learn that Mr. Goodson’s phenomenal success with his last year’s tobacco patch has caused many farmers in his vicinity to turn their attention to tobacco culture. It is not probable that many of them will make any such record as Mr. Good son did, but they can fall far below that and still do mighty well. There is undoubtedly much fine land in South Carolina and parts of the state are admirably adapted to the production of high grade tobacco. South Carolina also has some very enterprising farmers and every time one of them makes a remarkable hit, the News and Couri er is likely to get wind of it and make it famous. A prominent newspaper can do much to encourage the develop ment of the state in which it is published and it can hardly find better business than is open to it in that line. Good Care of Hogs Pays. Too many are afraid of a little work and trouble. I clean the pens twice a week. Hogs are supplied with plenty of water and charcoal to prevent diseases. Air slaked lime is used for a disinfec tant. With proper care there is very little danger of disease. There are preventives, but no cure, for cholera when it gets a start. I always plant a patch of potatoes for feeding hogs in the fall to get them to market quick. I started a hunch of hogs on potatoes, fed them sixty days with chopped and cooked potatoes, with a little whole grain, and the hogs made a gain of two and a half pounds a day, or 150 pounds a hog. Care should he taken in starting hogs on potatoes. They should he fed sparingly at first, increasing a little every time they are fed, not feeding more than they will eat up. The best market for hogs is at 200*to 250 pounds weight.—lowa Farmer. DEAFNESS CANNOT HE CURED. By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out -Mid this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY A CO,, Toledo, O.
