Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitution .1 r medics.
Oeufness is caused by a:i lniiamcd condi

you have a ru.nblln{r sound or Imperfect

Waterproofing Shoes.
Here is a ve. y old and very ef
ficacious recipe that our grand
mothers used: “Take a little bees
wax and mutton suei; warm in a
small pot or pipkin until in a liquid
state, then rub some of it lightly
over the edge of the sole where the
stitches are and it will repel the
wet and not in the least prevent
blacking from having its usual ef
feet.” 1 have also heard that gum
copal varnish applied to the soles'
of shoes and repeated until the j
pores are filled and the surface >
shines will not only make them
waterproof, but add many months |
to their wearing qualities.

Now Can I Keep Eggs?
“My mother use to keep her eggs
in salt,” says one letter, and the
next one says, "My grandmother
kept eggs in bran a long time. Why
do mine not keep that way? Is it
the fault of the eggs or the bran?”
Don’t bother losing eggs by try
ing a'l kinds of experiments. The
government has done that for you.
It has tried oats, bran, salt, brine,
salicylic acid, glycerine, parafine,
boiling water, alum, collodion, wood
ashes, boric acid, ‘permanganate of
potash, vaseline, lime water, water
glass, etc., in various solutions and
combinations. The three last
were found to be the best. My
personal experience has been that
lime water gives a pecular taste to
th° eggs, vaseline is a nuisance,
while water glass has been entirely
satisfactory.
1 scald a jar well, place only
clean, fresh, infertile eggs in it,
small end down, pour enough water
glass over them to just cover them
and keep adding eggs and solution.
I have paid from 50 cents a pint to
50 cents a gallon for water glass,
which is also called soluble glass,
potassium silicate, or sodium sili
cate.
But why take time to tell you
about this when you can get it all |
on pages 33, 34, 35 of United
States Farmers' Bulletin No. 128,'
“Eggs and Their Uses.”—The Pro
gressive Farmer.
When August comes burning, it
sets us a-yearning for deep wooded
valleys where cool shadows play,
where quiet and solitude bring on
the peaceful mood needed for rest
from a hard business day. We!
1 long for the river where scarcely a
I quiver disturbs the still water as
I onward it flows; its peace and its
| quiet detract from the riot of busi
| ness hours filled with their cares
, and their woes.
All of which comes from the of
! flee poet who prefers letting his
j angelic temperament waft itself
through the ethereal realms rather
than to attach himself to a type
case or printing press. The ex
perienced man sees it differently:
Mosqoitoes invite us to come, let
them bite us while wading through
briars and weeds to our neck; and
armies of chigers climb on us and
figure which one dig the deepest
into us, by heck.
Some of our maiden ladies may 1
remember that August has not al-1
ways had its present name. Back
in the Alban or Latin year it was
known as "Sextilis,” meaning the
sixth, as it was then the sixth
month of the year. Later, howev
er, it was dedicated to the honor of
Augustus Caesar and the name
changed to August. Its meaning
is sacred, venerable, grand, majes
tic, etc, August, too, always has
held its own in the making of his
tory. It was during this month in
1492 that Isabella, queen of Spain,
after having seen some wonderful
moving pictures of America, sent
Columbus over to claim the territo
ry for her. Henry Eighth, in 1534,
divorced himself from a trouble
some spouse by taking her joy ri
ding in London and dumping her
into the Thames. The car and
Henry’s conscience, so history in
dicates, were alike undented. The
Standard Oil trust had its begin
ning in August, 1859, when the
first oil well is said to have been
bored. _

EFFECT OF ill
I SOIL FERTILiTV
Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing
Cost of Fertilizer Bills By Conserv
ing Supply of Nitrogen.
The relation of soil bacteriology to
soil fertility and the methods of pre
serving this fertility by means of
these bacteria is gradually becoming
a matter of study.
A number of the experiment sta
tions are becoming interested in this
work and it is time indeed that some
tiling was being done along this line.
Expense to Farmer.
Fifty millions of dollars is the
annual fertilizer bill of American
farmers. Most of this is paid by far
mers of twenty of the eastern states,
as commercial fertilizers are used but
very little, at present, in the middls
west or western states. Nitrogen is
usually the element of plant food
which is lacking, and this is also far
more costly than any other elements j
of plant foods. The supply of avail
able nitrogen fertilizer, namely so
dium nitrate is decreasing very rapid
iv while the demand Is increasing. In
this way the fertilizer bill of American
farmers will 1n a few years be some
tiling enormous unless some new
method is developed. *
The principle part plaved by bac
teria in soil fertility is the gathering
of this much needed nitrogen and con
verting it. into a form available Tor
plant food.
Factor* Aiding Bacteria. .
Some of the factors which aid the
bacteria In this work are: the addi
tion of manure which adds not only
plant food hut large numbers or these
bacteria: the addition of lime to cor
rect the acidity in acid soils as these
j bacteria cannot work in an acid me
j dlurn: the proper stirring of the soil
which gives oxygen and sufficient
aeration, and lastly: the growing of
legume crops which is perhaps the
greatest aid of any of the above men
tioned factors in securing nitrogen for
plant food.
Time For Results,
The greatest difficulty .encountered j
in this work is the fact that it takes
two or three years and a series of
crops to show any marked improve
ment in a soil, hut it it to be hoped
that it will reach a state of develop
ment where a soil will show a marked
improvement in one year and thus
take the place of the nitrogenous com
mercial fertilisers.

THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture Is
Effective Combative Method.
There Is every reason «o expert a
bad year for bitter rot this year, and
there is only one way to fight it. Prun
ing last winter would have helped. Al
so spraying about June 20 would have
aided. But it 1r now too late for
either of these and should Ihe dread
ed bitter rot appear In your orchard
it means either fight or quit.
The way to fight is to spray at once
with home-made Bordeaux mixture,
then, as soon as the orchard lias been
covered go over it again with the
same mixture. Everything depends
upon getting a perfect coating of the
mixture on the fruit early in the fight
After the first double spraying, a sin
gle spraying with the same mixture
after two weeks will he necessary. Af
ter this it will depend upon the
weather how much other* spraying
must be done.
The Bordeaux mixture is made of
bluestone. ten pounds, good fresh lime,
ten pounds, water to make a hundred
galldn8. The mixture is made by a
special method that cannot he ex
plained here for want of spare. Full
directions nmy be had by geting Bui
letin 114 and Circular 21. from the Fix
periment Station at Fayetteville.
