THE REMARKABLE STORY AND AFFIDAVIT OF DR. LEWIS BLUNDIN. AXlctn! with Fuvnlj-sis for Twenty live Tears—A Cam; of Wovld "Wide Interest. . (T’rom the Philadelphia Timm.) Lewis D. Bluudin was born in ’4l at Bridgewater, Pa., and is now a resilient oi Hulmtvilie same stnte. lie went through the war as private, sergeant nod iiospit.il steward cf GoMipcy C. :> i!i Pa. Volunteers. Asa result of an attack of typhoid fever in Li.- kidney: h.-cume afected and this finally developed into spinal disease, which lusted tln-imgii ids army service. In ’ I,'; he was muttered out i-.nd entered Jeffarsom Medical College, Pblir ~ as a sludent from wnicii ha graduated two years inter. The remainder of the story is best told in hit oi.n words: *■ One'day, after I had graduated, I was lying on ii sofa at my Line in Manny unit, when 1 felt a coii! -u-MLn in my lower limbs as though the ULmi bed suddenly left them. AV.bt'ii I t ied ! " ni. ve them 1 was horrified at-tiie.iiiacprery that i was para lyzed from my hi;* to my toes. The paral ysis was cmnplfte ar-ft-tin of n pinch of the flesh caused m> palp, i could not move a muscle. I called in Dr. William C. Todd, •sf l’hilin'ciph'a. lie made an exhaustive examination of rriy case, nnd announced that my trouble was caused by inflamma tion of the spinal curd, and that I would likely have another stroke of paralysis. I consulted Dr. I. W. Gross and Dr. Pancoast of Jefferson Col logo, I’h'iadelybia, and Dr. Merck:.use, of Philadelphia with the same Ves-uit. " One day last September I decided to try Dr. Williams'i’lnk Pills for Pale People. I had always been troubled with a sort of Vertigo after r.iy first stroke of paralysis to si’cli an often; that when I got out of my bed mv head would r-ryim and 1 hi'.d diffi culty m saving my-eif from falling. My appetite war find, digestive organs ruined end no assimilatii nof food. In addition to my many other ukmfiits, rheumatism held n prominent place. By the time I had finished the first box of Pink Pills I was comparatively free from these minor ills. First one ail wonldMieappear, then another until the pills got to work upon the founda tion stones of my trouble—paralysis. Before I had taken tho six boxes of pills, I was sitting in my chair and one afternoon, when I felt a curious e>i-.<ition in my left foot. Upon investigation J found it had flexed, or in oilier words, become movable, and I could move it. From that time on my im provement was steady and it was not long before 1 was walking around on crutches with little or no di.-comfort. It was three years before taking the Pink Pills that 1 had been able to use the crutches at any time; and I feel sure that Pink Pills have done me more good than all the doctors and all the medicine in the country and as they are not costly I can e.asilv afford the treatment.” Sworn to before roe this 15fh day of May, 1893.

Nor is it the grass aloud that burns, but fire communicates to the trees, thousands of which yearly succumb. Worse than all, the humus in the sandy soil is burned out and the future wealth and resources of the state are destroyed. At this day, and everywhere, may be encountered tracts of utterly barren and worthless land, in the midst of comparatively fertile, whose fertility has thus been destroyed.” fertilizing without nitrogen. Question 2.—Last year 1 fertilized a field well with acid phosphate and katirit, yet secured a very poor yield. , Will you please tell uie the cause of the trouble? Answer 2.—ln fertilizing With acid phosphate and kainit without supply ing nitrogen you faiiod to comply with a principle of plant growth. It is a law of nature that in the absence of any important element of plant food, though the others be present in abund ance, yet the plant cannot utilize them. It is necessary for all to be present in a suitable condition to be taken up. The following apt illustration has been used to exhibit how essential it is that everything thaf is required -by.—tiio plant should be present in the soil. “If a farmer wishes to make a cart lio pre pares h)3 wood and iron, gets them all in proper condition, and then can very readily put them together. But if he has all the wood necessary and no iron he cannot make his cart, because bolts, nails and screws are required, and their place cannot be supplied by boards.” Nitrogen also is the greatest element to produce growth. RABBITS GNAWING YOUNG APPLE TREKS. Question 3.—How can I prevent rab bits :rom gnawing my young apple trees? Answer 3.—Bacon skin rubbed on the trees, flesh side next the bark all the way up from the ground to about 2 feet on the body of each tree, will keep the rabbits off. This should be done every spring. POTATO BEETLE. Question 4.—How shall I fight the Jbugs. of which I send specimen, and which are said to be a serious enemy to the potato crop? Answer 4 —The enclosed bug is the Colorado potato beetle which, in many sections of the country, has been very destructive in tint potato fields. It has ouly'in recent years made its appear ance in north Alabama and north Q-eor gia, and east ami middle Tennessee. Paris green or London purple, both be-'" iug arsenitos, are regarded as the. best remedies. In the dry form, use mixed in the proportion of one pound of poison to five of flour, and two of dry dust, fine ashes or airslaciced lime; apply with a sifter or perforated pan. If sprayed or sprinkled over the vine in lqnid form, use a small teaspoonful to two, or evon three, gallons of water. Be very care ful in handling Paris greoa or London purple, as they are deadly poison. FiiUIT PHESEKVINO SOLUTION. Question s. —Please give mo a for mula lor preparing a fruit and vegeta ble preserving solution. In view of the approaching exposition, and the fact that many of oar finest specimens can# not be kept until the exposition opens, except by some process of this kind, many growers are interested in this question. Answer s. —ln the preparation of fruit, and ve-r* rubles, the best preserv ing fluid is 40 per cent alcohol, 10 per cent glycerine and tho balance filtered rain water. Of course this fluid renders the fruit unfit for use. Each section of the state should appoint a commit tee, either by the county commissioners or by a meeting of the citizens, whose duty it shall be to awaken an interest as to the importance of this exhibition of our produces at the Cotton States and Internation exposition and the benefits that will probably result to their respective sections.

Answer.— This has long been a moot ed question among farmers and there nfe sonio who stiU believe in this trans v lactation of one plant into another. Tho following oxtracts from an article by one of the best authorities in the union should settle this question: “This weed has boon supposed by some to be produced from degenerated wheat, but the fact that it belongs to quite a distinct genus from wheat ren ders this impossible. “The seed of the cheat or chess are muoh smaller than of wheat and may be numerously scattered through seed wheat and reproduce the weed among the stubble, uuperoeived to ordinary ob servation. The seed being very hardy may remain at some depth in the soil, uuperoeived and dormant, until brought near the surface and subjected to the action of light, air and moisture. When tho young chess plants growing from this seed aro shaded by a dense crop of wheat they grow only a few inches high, sometimes not over two inches, perfect their seed, and are wholly un temfilled, orcHtmwise destroyed, they spread and grow upwards unchecked, three feet high, and often produce from 2,000 to 3,000 seed to a single root, cov er the whole surface, and lead to the superficial conclusion that the wheat, being killed, was converted to chess. The above quotwions explain the matter. The cheatjaro seed are in the ground where you low wheat or oats. Should the wheat At oats grow, though the cheat comes up and makes seed, it is so small as to-'pass unnoticed, being smothered as it were by the growing grain. Should the wheat or oats, how ever, be winter killed or grazed by cat tle too late in the spring, then the cheat which is up and ready to grow off, takes possession of the ground, smoth ers out what little grain may be left, grows 2 to 3 feet high, and the careless observer comes to the con clusion that his wheat or oats has been changed to cheat, a plant of an entirely different genus. The process for getting rid of this grass or weed is simple, namely: Sow none but perfectly clean seed and also rotate the crops and it will gradually disappear from the land. Question 8. —I send sample of muck whmhJLgould like to have analyzed. know the constituent*. Answer B.—Your muckoruns as fol lows: Reaction, neutral. , Moisture at 212 degrees F, 21.52 per cent. Organic mattor, 43.57 per cent. Nitrogen, .84 per cent, equivalent to 1.02 per cent ammonia. Phosphoric acid, . 15 per cent. Potash, trace only. Sand and undetermined, 84.04 per cent. Thm amounts of phosphoric aoid and potash present in the muck are- too small to consider in judging the sam pie. Its value lies in the nitrogen and organic matter. These two added to gether give tho total organic matter present as the nitrogen constitutes a part of the organic substances. The nitrogen will become more quick - ly available if the muck is composted or fermented before using. The organ ic matter when thus treated is convert ed into humus and becomes a powerful conservator of moisture, which is so important to plant growth. Question 9 —I have got a sick mule and want yon to send me word wiiac to give him. The mule’s kidneys are out of order, and he makes water all the time, and that is about all I can see the matter. Please give me a remedy. Answer 9.—By Carnes <fc Carnes, veterinary surgeons, diabetes: Tincture of iodine, 2 ounces; tincture of iron, 1 ounce; water, 5 ounces. Mix and give 4 teaspoonfnls five time a (lay. Feed well to keep up strength. Don’t work. Question 10.—Some ten days ago I had a mare 7 yeas old brought to the lot sick and upon investigation I found tile mare affected with a straujre tron- ble, anC *wo or three days sue began 1 to disunarge at the nostrils a yellow, greenish discharge very offensive, so much so tlSfffit was sick ening. I doctored hA for distemper ami luug fever, but to no avail, ami inter ten days sue died. When she coughed the discharge would come from nor mouth and nostrils in quanti ties that would almost choke her. Not knowiug the cause of her death, nor. ever having one affected like her. I tried to think it distemper, but at this lime I find one of my oldest iftules run niug at the nose in the same manner and character of discharge ns the mare, aud lam forced to bodeve it is gland ers, and as I have six or seven other head on the place I wooid like to have the matter invest Luted and write you. If you, from m,v description, wish to send a veterinary .-.urgi-on to examine my stock and prescribe lor them if glanders. .■H—wfcriswfi imimr-ftf inc-im any unnecessary t jepense, but as 1 have * over ii ,000 worth of stock on the place, 1 j and not knowing what to do myself, would like to be assisted in getting at Qie trouble and save the loss of all if | possible. If the symptoms in the male 1 grow worse can I get aid in the above direction from you? Please write me the lAw and plau to bo pursued in such cases and oblige. Answer 10.—Pronounced by the vet erinary surgeons, Carnes & Carnes, to be strangles or distemper, which is con tagious? but not necessarily fatal. Recommended holding head over steam, covering with bag to cause free dis charge. Also to rest from work, pro tect from the weather, pasture and give easily digested food. Question ii.—l have a mnlo with stifle lameness. He was lntu to some extent all of last winter, Im: got past work this spriug. His stifle joint is swollen and has tho appear.inco of en largement of the bone at present, but walks bettor and we plow him some now. Please refer it to Dr. l ook and lot him answer it, as I am anxious to cure him. No one here seems to under stand the case. I will sav his hip is perishing away. He is a lion; 8 or 0 years old and a good mttltv I' you oau do anything for him 1 trill, appreciate it very much. I had to give up part of my crop. Answer It.—Blister mid report re sults. Shrinking of the hip Irom atrophy, from want of use of muscles. Cure the lameness and the atrophy will bo at an end. Question 13.—Can individual ex hibits for the Georgia state building at the Cotton States and International ex position be entered as late as Sept. 10? ~ Answer. J3,—Ye*. Aud I would urge upon overy com in unity in the stato the importance of getting up these individual and collective displays. Tho importance of lully representing every section of our state cannot be over estimated. CUTTING CORN EODDER. Question 18.—Is it best to feod corn fodder cut or uncut? Answer 18.—Professor Henry, of the experiment station at Washington, tested the value of cutting oorn ibdder by feeding one lot of cows upon whole fodder, bright and sweet. Another lor of equal milking qualities had fodder from the same mow. cut into pieces a half inch long. Ho found that he ob tained as much milk from 721 pounds of out fodder as trom 1.13 5 pounds of uncut fodder. Two tons of out would would be worth nnro titan throe tons of uncut. enst:..ur Question 14. —i-bea-e tell me some thing about eiisitn-e. lam interested in stock raising, but have little experi ence in the management of ensilage, which is said by tiioto who bnve tried it to be first class dairy stock lootl. Answer 14—Ensilage hat already passed its experimental stage, and has been ..ocepeed and adopted by many dairymen and farmers, says au ex change: “It provides succulent food— a great necessity, especially for dairy stock—during tiie long winter, cheaper than can be provided in any other way. It is also of great importance iu the fall, as one of the laws to successful feeding is not to make sudden changes from green, succulent'feed to dry feed when cattle are taken from pastures. "Ensilage bears the same relation to dry fodder that canned fruit does to the dried. Is it any wonder that cows pre fer the succnleut article; or that the latter is tho better substitute for juicy food and will produce mere milk than an equal amount of dried cornstalks? Any one who has triod it knows the difficulty of keeping up tbnflowof milk on dry feed, flood care, with early cut, well cared hay and corn fodder, and a liberal grain ration will do a good deal, but as the winter advances the cows will surely, though slowly, shrink in their flow, while they lay ou flash instead. Tho use of roots will prevent this shrinkage of the milk flow, bnt the costof raising such food for stock is too great. We must either go ou in the old way. drying off our cows in thy most important season, or else we must make ensilage. , "The only bar to the universal use of succulent food is preju lice The odor from ensilage has caused many to de clare that It tainted the milk, thereby affectmg the flavor of the butter. So widespread is this belief that many of the large milk doalers still stipulate iu their contract* with the farmers that no ensilage shall be fed. This idea doubtless arose irdm the fact that when Edd. F, McGowan, Bus. MAnagcr. ensilage was fit-st Introduced, 15 yeeas ago, ignorance of the proper method of building and filling silos oaueed the pro* auction .of damaged, rotten The prejudice stilt lingers, though the spread of knowledge has removed tho cause.
