DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, sa they can
not reach the dieeased portion of
the ear. Thare is only on# way to
cure deafness, and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is caus
ed by an inflamed condition of uie
mucous lining of ths Eustachian
Tuba When this tube is inflamed
you hare a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever •, nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lar* for any ca*e of Deafnsa (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free.

FARMERS IN WATER VALLEY
TERRITORY
It is very pleasing to me to state
that we have had splendid coopera
tion from the farmers in the Water
Valley District. Our cooperative
marketing has grown from week to
week. We have splendid stock pens
which are covered and equipped with
water and lights. I have been pianing
to install a new pair of scales at the
pen so that hogs could be weighed
and graded at one operation. Hope
to have these scales ready for use by
next shipping day. We are always
glad to have our friends from Cal
houn, Lafayette and Panola County
ship with us. We hope to merit
your friendship and cooperation oy
giving you the best services that
can be had. I assure you that each
and every cooperative shipment will
have my personal attention.
After talking with a number of far
mers, we have planed to form a co
operative buying and selling organ
ization to handle the business in this
territory—I believe that by close and
earnest cooperation that we will be a
ble to save you thousands of dollars.
It is my plan to meet the farmers in
the various communities and talk this
proposition over with them. By be
ing organized I And that we can do
much more effective demonstration
work.
We are working under an organiza
tion but I feel that it would be better
to have a working organization in the
different Districts in the County.
W’e are very grateful to our county
paper# for the space that we use each
week. I wish that every home in
Yalobusha County would subscribe
for the county papers so that we
would have an opportunity of keep
ing you posted of what we are under
taking to de.
Very Sincerely,
A. G. Hamilton, Co., Agent, i
CAR OF FERTILIZER
AT COFFEEVILLE
We will have a car of Acid Phos
phate at Coffeeville, Saturday, Feb.
21st. This fertilizer will cost you
$1.26 per hundred, provided you get
same from car. If you intend to use
fertilizer this year it would be well
for you to make arrangements to get
your supply from this car. There is
no question as to the advisability of
using fertilizer. We will have Ni
trate of Soda later.
Sincerely yours,
A G. Hamilton, Co. Agent.
SHIPPING DATES
We are shipping cattle and ho^s
from Water Valley this week and will
ship from Coffeeville Tuesday, Feb.
24th. It is our plans to arrange ship
ments to suit farmers. We will con
tinue to ship hogs through spring
and summer
The hog market is in good shape at
this writing. Best Southern hogs
are bringing from 16.60 to 16.76.
From all indications hogs will sell
for $17.00 per hundred by April or
May. If you have a bunch of shoats
I believe it would pay you to feed
them until spring. In last shipment.
from Coffeeville we had one hundred
pigs which should have been fed 60
days.
Sincerely,
A. G. Hamilton, Co. Agent.
CAR OF COTTON SEED AT OAK
LAND AND COFFEEVILLE
We ordered a car of cotton seed a
bout two weeks ago, but did not have
enough seed to supply the demand,
therefore at the request of farmer*
and business men w# are ordering a
car for Okland and for Coffeeville.
If you are interested in Oakland Car
see Mr. Herron at Oakland Merc. Co.
or Prof. Wallace at Agriculture High
School and let them know the amount
that you want or you can write me
at Coffeeville.
As to the Coffeeville Car writ# or
call me, I will do my best to hold
seed for you. If you do not specify
kind of seed I will order Wannamah
er-Cleveland. This seed will cost you
$2.80 delivered to Coffeville and
Oakland. The seed are the beet that
can be had.

FEBRUARY SUGGESTIONS TO
DAIRY FARMERS
It is now time that moat of the
plait for thi» year’a cropping ayatem
have been outlined How much land
have you act aside for growing feeds
for the cowi’ Was one of your
New Year’a Resolution to have more
home grown feed next winter than
you have had thia winter? Has the
cow been successful in her efforts
to demonstrate that she requires a
large puanity of feeds for her to man
ufacture a large quanity of milk?
That she can make milk from good
roughage in the form of good hay, sil
age, etc? That this good roughage
is, If grown at home, cheaper than
grains and that she must have the
bulk added in feeding all the rough
age she can consume? Then grow a
ton of legume hay, three tons of sil
age and fifteen bushels of com for
each cow in the herd and you will
not need to worry about the high cost
of feeds next winter, nor if the cows
will be able to exist until grass comes
In the spring Be early March some
corn, sorghum, or other similar
crops should be planted near the barn
to All the silo for feeding in August
and during September, or for cutting
and feeding as a soiling crop during
these months. These two months us
ually test the dairyman’s ability to
keep his herd in full flow during an
emergency when pastures are dry
and feeds short. You will be well
paid for taking preparedness mea
sure seriously and getting your plans
made at once to have this succulent
feed to supplement your pastures
mxt Summer.
Cows are beginning to become
fresh now and should be in good
flesh. A cow which is in thin, run
down condition at calving time is
most sure to give trouble, and but
little milk until she has time to gain
flesh. Do not feed the cows cotton
seed meal or other very heavy feeds
for 15 or 20 days just prior to fresh
ening and for 8 or 10 days after fresh
ening. Some wheat bran and ground
oats with all the hay and silage she
will eat are the best feeds at this
time. The feed should be light at
first, then gradually increase one
fourth pound each day, untill she is
in full feed.
Lillian B. Dorris, Co. Agent.
LETTER FROM AGENT
The sun is beginning to shine and
it makes us all feel as if we just
want to see how much we can accom
plish. It is time that all the poultry
Club Girls had some hens setting,
their pens should have been mated a
month ago and I believe most of
you have already done this. The
sewing sheets will come out in a few
days and you will see just what you
will have to sew. It will not be as
much as it was last year and I know
some of you are sorry for you seem
ed to enjoy that phase of your work
bo much.
The Canning Club Girls should
have their hot beds made and plant
ed as soon as possible. I have some
girls who have had theirs sowed weeks
many will plant early verity so as to
have early tomatoes to eat and to
sell.
The regular club meeting are com
ing on fine, I think all of you are do
ing well with this work. I try to
meet all of your clubs but bad weath
er and roads have prevented me from
doing so to some extent.
1 The Dairy Club Girls are few in
number but are doing well with their
cows. One little girl reported $3,25
as her highest cream check for one
week from one cow. That is $104
per cow per year if she gives milk 8
month* in the year. This is a good
way to make money.
If I fail to get to see you soon,
write to me and fell me just what you
are doing.
Your Friend,
Lillian J3 Dorris.

MILK FEVER
Some few cows now being milked
may be capable of having milk fever
at calving time. Only good cows
have this trouble. In case any cows
have troubles of this kind, the follow
ing suggestions may be helpful. The
trouble usually comes on suddenly
from six hours to one week after, cal
ving, in animals which seemingly are
in splendid health.
SYMPTOMS: Cow first becomes
uneasy, constantly shifting weight
from one hind foot to other, lose* in
terest in calf, refuses to eat, become*
stiff and seemingly partially parali
zed in hind quarters, finally goes
down to semi-conscious condition,
tossing the head nervously. The
head may be rested against the shoul
der or side, the neck apparently stiff
ened in this position. Eyes become
glassy.
TREATMENT. 05 to 98% of
milk fever victims can be cured in
treatment in time by completely dis
tending the udder with sterile air.
Instruments made especially for this
purpose may be had from instrument
dealers. Dairymen with a number
of very valuable cows should keer
this equipment on hand. In case
thi* instrument is not available, an
improvised one may be made by us
ing a double action auto or bicycle
pump attached to a milk tube with
a piece of rubber tubing. To prevent
infecting the cow’s udder, it would
be well to force the air through ster
ilized cotton in a large sterilized
glass or metal tube, plugged at each
end with cork stoppers and connected
at each end with the rubber tube by
means of two pieces of small glass
or metal tube pressed through the
cork. Dip the milk tube in a mild
disinfectant and bathe the cow's teats
in same solution before inserting the
tube. Gently pump each quarter full
of air. If necessary bandage each
teat with a soft cloth to assist in re
taining the air. After about six
hours, work the air out. Repeat op
eration again if necessary.
