Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901. Centlemtn : Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you m full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear begau to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I 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 temnotarily, that the bead noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affe-cted ear would he lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidenially 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-dav. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours. V. A. WBR3IAN. ~’oS. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. "■SKter 4 YOU CAN C3K YOURSELF AT HOME #“*3E“** INTESNShOMM. A : JR!L CLINIC, F96 L’.

AS NOW TAUGHT IN GERMANY There the Common Schools Have a Garden Attached and Pupils are Given Practical Instruction In Ag riculture. Most of the common schools In the smaller German villages have attached to them a small garden. Though these gardens are generally for the use of the teacher and his family, occasion ally some wideawake teacher uses his as a means of instruction. Here he takes his pupils to show them how plants grow from the seed to full ma turity. The nature charts used in the schools to teach plant and insect life are supplemented by observation of real plants, flowers, fruit trees, insects, birds and bees. Mr. C. B. Smith, of the office of ex- J periment stations, United States de- ! partment of agriculture, has given us the benefit of his observations at Alf- | ter, a village of 2,000 Inhabitants, in : the German Rhine province, between j Bonn and Cologne. Mr. Smith, who visited this village in 1899, gives the following account of it: "The whole region lying about the village is inten sively farmed and forms practically one vast garden. Vegetables alternate wit horchards, with, occasional strips of grain or forage plants, ’the scho'ol is wSat is Tmown as a ‘people’s school.’ This is the common school of Ger many. Only the fundamental branches are taught In these schools, and the whole course is completed in eight years. Ahe Alfter common school con tains 400 pupils and six toachers. In this school, as in all others in this province, two hours instruction week ly in fruit culture, gardening aad gen eral farming during the last two years of the course is required. This has been compulsory by law since 1895. Outline suggestions for this work are sent the principal of tiie school by the provincial government, as follows: First Year. "Apr Hand May (1.) Inner structure of plants, plant cells and tissues and their functions. (2) Other divisions of plants: (a) the roots, their function in the nourishment of plants by the ab sorption of mineral matter, s phos phorous, potassium, sodium, Iren, chlo rin and water; (b) the trunk. its branches and buds, the structure of the cambium and the occurrence of ring growth.” The course goes on through every month of the year, describing plant life in all its stages, the improvement of the soil, the using up of plant food and its replacement by fertilizers of various kinds, the influence of the cli mate on plants, fruit culture and the management of fruit trees, the ene mies of fruits and vegetables and how to get rid of them. In February and March of the next year’s course the various minerals are discussed. In April, May and June garden work is discussed from the lay ing out of plats to the utilization of vegetables. • In the latter part of June of the second year’s course the pupils study field work, plowing, harrowing and rolling. “In July they study the various field crops, including clovers and grasses; in August crop rotation and methods of manuring. In September and October they dis cuss the various enemies of the differ ent crops. In December the subject of study is domestic animals, and in January, February and March the physiology of man. The plan thus laid down is meant to be suggestive, the teacher being al lowed to exercise his individual judg ment as to time and method of pre senting the different subjects and to make his instruction conform to the agricultural needs of the district in which his school is located. Thus at this German village nearly every owner or renter of even a small piece of ground is an experienced gar dner, understanding thoroughly the value of cultivation and the money worth of every pound of compost. The farmer’s wife and children assist him In his labors and the children at an early age have a very clear under standing of garden operations. The school garden is intensively farmed and made a source of revenue. The bees are also made a subject of special study. It is not to be inferred that every German neighborhood is fortunate enough to have such a school, and the teachers who make use of the school garden for instruction are the excep tion. But the success of the few schools of this sort prove their worth. The interesting article of Mr. C. B. Smith was recommended for publica tion by Mr. A. C. True, director of ex periment stations, and its publication was authorized by Hon. James Wilson, United States secretary of agriculture. In view of the fact tlprt the desira bility of an agricultural course for the schools in rural districts is being sc generally discussed we thought that some useful hints might be derived from the account of this practical Ger man school. Sugar Osne. Though some of the farmers are nearly through plantin'* their cane some are waiting for d-v-v-r weather. The importance of th 1 . >p cannot be , overestimated. There 'a an ever increasing demand for tb best Georgia cape sirup. Overproduction of eltheT sugar or sirup need not be feared. The consumption of sugar in the Unit ed States exceeds the home supply. Raising sugar cane costs less than raising cotton, and to the planters of many parts of southern Georgia there is more money in it. When this crop receives the attention duo it, sugar re fineries will increase in number. As we have said before, there is no rea son why the sugar and sirup business of Georgia should not at least approxi mate that of Louisiana. The sugar refineries at Baxley, in Appling county, and Dupont, in Clinch, are doing good work for their respec tive sections. At Cairo, in Thomas county, is a large sugar plant of the best modern construction, where the juices of the cane are being chemical ly treated in the most scientific man ner. Within a radius of 15 miles from this town there are 2,000 acres plant ed in sugar cane. The shipments of sirup from Cairo amounted last year to 10,000 barrels. At Quitman, in Brooks county, one firm sells on an average 3,600 barrels of sirup a year. The sirup is pronounced by Professor Har vey W. Wiley, chief of the United States bureau of chemistry, to be of a high trade, and the market for it ex tends from Massachusetts to Texas. Asa result of Professor Alley's visit to Georgia an appropriation of sll,- 000 has been recommended by the con gressional tomwHtee ou appropria tions for the purpose of promoting the development of the sugar interest in Georgia and other states. Credit is due to Major D. G. Purse, president of the Savannah chamber of comerce, who was very active lu inter esting the United States department of agriculture this work and who took personal charge of Professor Wiley dWring his trip. Professor Wiley re ports having seen near Kinderton, on the Mcßae plantation, atalks of sugar cano more than 8 feet long and weigh ing from four to six pounds each. The United States department of agricul ture intends making experiments to ascertain what kind of fertilizer will give the best results upon soils of dif ferent sections in Georgia and other southern states. Hence we are about to see the realisation of the hopes have inspired the efforts of this department ever since our accession to office, that in the great sugar cano In dustry Georgia would find even a bet ter, because a more permanent, source of wealth than in her rapidly disap pearing forests of pine.
