dh*m ths Kansas City Time*.
The people of Blah Hill, Mo., and vicinity
have reoently been startled by a seeming
miracle of beating. For years one of tbs
bsst known men in Bates and Vernon p.an
tb* bn. been Mark M. Woodson, now port
msster of Panama, and brother of ex-State
Inspector ot Mines, 0. C. Woodson, of this
city. The people of Rloh Hill, where he
iormerly resided, and of his present borne,
re member well the bent form, misshapen
almost from the semblance of man, which
has painfully bowed It* bead half to earth
and labored snail-like across the walks
Mason after season, and when one day last
month it straightened to its full height,
threw away the heavy butt of cane which
for years had been its only support from
total helplessness, and walked erect, firmly,
unhesitatingly about the two cities, people
looked and wondered. The story of the re¬
markable ease ha* become the marvel of the
two counties. Exactly as Mr. Woodson told
it to a Timet reporter, It Is here published:
“For ten years I have suffered the tor¬
ments ot the damned and have been a use¬
less invalid , to-day I am a well and hearty
man, free from almost every touch of pain.
I don’t think man ever suffered more aente
and oonstant agony than I have nine* 1884.
Th* rheumatism started then in my right
knee, and after weeks sufficiently of suffering in bed I
was at last relieved to arise, but
It was only to get about on erutohes for five
years, the aliment having settled in the
joint. Despite constant treatment of the
most eminent anil physicians for the last the rheumatism
grew worse, four years I
have been compelled to go about bent half
toward the ground. In the winter of 1890
91, after the rheumatism had settled into its
most ebronio form, I went to Kansas City
upon advice of my brother, and for six
weeks I was trented in one of the largest
and best known dispensaries of that city,
hut without the slightest Improvement.
Before I came home I received a strong gal
vauio battery, this I used for months with
the same result. In August, 1892, I went
to 8t. Louis, and there conferred with the
widely known Dr. Mudd of hospital prac¬
tice fame, and Dr. Kale of the city hospital.
None of them would take my case with any
hope of affording me more than temporary
relief, and so I came home, weak, doubled
With pain, helpless and despondent.
“About this time my attention was called
to the account of a remarkable cure by Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People of
locomotor ataxia, rheumatism and paral¬
ysis. I ordered some of the pills as an
experiment. When I began to take them,
the rheumatism had developed into a phase
of paralysis; my leg from the thigh down
was oold ull the time and oould not be kept
worm. In a short time the pills were gone,
and so wan the cane. I was able to attend
to the duties ot my office, to get about as a
well and etrong man. I was free from pain
and I could enjoy a sound and restful
night’s sleep, something To-day I practically, bad not known
for ten years. am and,
I firmly believe, permanently cured of my
terrible and agonizing ailment. No ma¬
gician Of with the his Far Last that ever wrought the
miracle wand Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills did for me."
To Terify the story beyond all question of
donbt Mr. Woodson muds the following
affidavit:

There is good reason for the com¬
mon practice of sowing both clover
and timothy in seeding land. A mix¬
ture of the two makes a better hay for
feeding on the farm than either alone,
and as the timothy checks the clover
growth the hay is more easily "cured,
Besides, it often happens that when a
field <• ,, “ • ««*«* , , . *»7 not , be . conven
lent to P Iow lk “t' am »nder several
years. Clover alone canriot be de¬
pended on to keep a good sod and pro¬
duce a fair crop after the second year.
As it dies out June grass or weeds
come in and occupy the vacant spaces.
Clover is absolutely beneficial to the
timothy seeding. It loosens the sub¬
soil, and as the clover roots decay af¬
ter the plant dies the timothy will
maintain a good sod two or three
years longer than would be possible if
if it had been sown alone.—Boston

A NEW INSECTICIDE.
Farmers and grain dealers suffer
from the rovages of weevils and other
destructive insects, and to their .Holl¬
Bideration is recommended the follow¬
ing method of application of _carbon
bisulphide for tho destruction of these
pests. Though the vapor of the bisul¬
phide is very light, it has a tendency
downward us well as upward, and the
plan is to take a small bottle of the
carbon bisulphide covered with a cloth
and over it placed a wooden box, the
whole then being located on the floor
of the empty grain bin. The grain is
then run in and after the bin is full, it
is surmounted by another portion of
the bisulphide arranged in the same
manner. The vapor of both bottles
so thoroughly permeates the mass of
grain that tho insects, even rats and
mice, aro driven away or killed.—
Pkaraaceutical Era.
CHANGING EKED.
When pigs are so well fed as to
maintain a vigorous, thrifty growth, a
variety of food is necessary in order
to maintain tho best growth and thrift
at the lowest cost. But, in order to
koep gaining to the best advantage,
all radical changes of feed should be
made gradually. A hog that has been
given one ration for some time, and
has his feed changed to something en¬
tirely different, will, in many oases,
refuse to eat it. A half-starved hog
will eat almost anythiug when it is
given him, but a good, thrifty hog is
naturally more dainty.
By commencing a few meals in ad¬
vance of when the change is to be
made, give a small quantity in eou
noction with the old ration, gradually
decreasing the old and increasing the
now. In this way, a change can be
mado without detriment to the growth
of the animal. This is true in chang¬
ing from dry to green feed, slops to
grains, or any other changes in the
Iced that may bo necessary. Careful,
economical feeding is one of the
items in lessening the cost, and it will
pay to tako a little care when changes
in the ration must be made. —Nebras¬
ka Farmer,
FARMERS’ wives and bees.
Too little attention is given to bees
tnd to the honey necessary to supply
a demand which would quickly respond
to a bettor distribution of the bees and
a larger yield of the houey crop. A
little study of the subject, says the
Western Rural, would enable the
farmers’ wives and daughters to have
a few- stands of bees with profitable
results from comparatively little in¬
telligent labor. A little practical
knowledge of tho habits of the bee
goes further than a good deal of time
spent in a haphazard way. Have a
few stands of bees with the investment
of tho poultry yard, nnd the profits
with the pleasure combined with these
pursuits will prove gratifying to any¬
one who loves nature and her indus¬
trious little pets. The new conditions
of society and all the industrial pur¬
suits have wrought such radical
changes in methods of living and earn¬
ing our daily bread that those engaged
in the agricultural pursuits must neces¬
sarily diversify their crops as far as
possible to meet the demands of do¬
mestic requirements, When the
butcher, the baker, and all other mer¬
chants are settled with at the end oi
the year the raw material of the farm
scarcely balances accounts these times.
DAIRY FARMING AND FERTILITY.
One advantage with dairying is that
with good management there is less
loss of fertility than in any other plan.
Yet carelessness in the management, of
the manure will cause depletions of
the plant food as surely as with any
other plan.
Tho butter or cheese or the milk, if
the milk is sold, reiu-eseuts a loss of
plant food, that must be replaced.
There is, of course, a greater lose if
tbe milk is sold direct, from the farm
than if 1 mttcr or cheese is sold and
the product is retained and fed out to
stock on the farm. On many farms
dairying is only made a part of the
farm work, and for this reason the
benefit of dairying in keeping up the
fertility is not made as evident as
when it is made something of a
sjiecialty.
Selling butter or cheese is selling
the farm products in a very condensed
form, more so even than when beef,
pork or mutton is sold.
Another advantage with dairying in
keeping up the fertility is this: In
nearly all cases it can be made profit¬
able to purchase and feed yphedt,
bran, oil meal and cottonseed meal,
and these in addition to being valu¬
able foods for the production of milk,
add nearly or quite their cost in the
increased value of the manure. But in
dairying, as in other lines of work, to
keep up the fertility it is quite an item
to save and apply the manure to the
best advantage. While making the
manure is importantin itself, it is only
the start. It must be hauled out and
applied if the best returns are to be
secured. In too many cases, through
carelessness too much of the more val¬
uable properties of the manure are al¬
lowed to be wasted.
Of course during the summer the
cows are on pasture and except during
the night, when they are penned up,
the manure will be left on tho pasture
land. Yet the best growth of grass
can only be secured by having a good
rich soil, so that the manure dropped
m the pasture can by no means be
considered as lost. I find it pays to
feed bran to the inilcli cows even when
they are on good pasture. And by
supplying the cows with bedding all
of the time that, is considered neces¬
sary to confine a considerable quan¬
tity of valuable manure that can be
returned to the soil. That dairying
affords a good means of building up
the fertility is shown by the fact that
in any localities where grain growing
has depleted the fertility seed¬
ing to grass and clover keep¬
ing cows, selling the milk or
butter, lias with good management
brought, up the land again to a good
condition. Of course a change from
grain growing to grass is beneficial,
but this would not increase the fertili¬
ty, but tho growing of grass or clover
and tho feeding of this to eows and
returning the manure builds up the
fertility. Of course dairying under
present conditions requires good man¬
agement. to make profitable as well as
other lines of farm work, but in many
cases it. affords an opportunity of aid¬
ing to build up the fertility and at the
same time have a marketable product
that will bring in an income.—Ne¬
braska Parmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Cows are often injured in the kneet
by getting up and down on bare
floors.
A sick cow should be put by herself
at, once and covered with a warm
blanket.
Keep a few rows of the old straw¬
berry bed standing if you want the
earliest in your neighborhood.
Wheat chaff affords an excellent
litter on poultry house floors, in
which the hens can scratch nnd exer¬
cise.
lt' by accident you have a poor tub
of butter don’t put your brand upon
it, but send it off nnd let it be sold on
its merits.
Among red raspberries the Cuthbein
still leads in productiveness, introduc¬
ers of new sorts to the contrary not¬
withstanding.
The biggest plants on the farm are
sure to grow- where the last year’s bon¬
fire was made. Good ashes give a
strong growth. 4
The making of fine butter is an at¬
tractive line of work for young wo
men. It is healthful, profitable and
the profession is not over-crowded.
People will continue to eat beef,
pork, mutton, etc., and there is nc
danger of the demand ceasing. Put a
first-class quality on the market, and
it will bring the top market price.
Boiled rice sweetened with brown
sugar is excellent for putting tho fin¬
ishing touches on the early broilers.
Give them one or two meals a day for
a w-eek before sending them to market.
Broken rice can be bought at a low
price.
Do not feed little chickens too heav¬
ily or the result will be bowel disease
and leg weakness. Three meals a day
are sufficient, but a small proportion
of millet seed should be scattered over
their runs in order to keep them busy
scratching. Exercise is as important
for them as the food.

How Did He Do It?
A farmer went to town and told a
merchant he wanted some nails. The
merchant told him he would sell him
forty pounds of twenty pennies to the
dollar; thirty-five pounds of twelve
pennies to the dollar, and thirty
pounds of ten pennies to the dollar.
The farmer told the merchant he
would take a dollar’s worth of the three
kinds, and wanted twice as many tens
as twelves and twice as many twelves
as twenties. The merchant figured
all over two sheets of paper and then
failed to work the sum. He then said
to the farmer: “If you work that
sum I will give you the nails.” So
the farmer took the pencil, solved the
problem for the merchant, weighed np
the nails, threw them on his back and
went home laughing.— Western Plow¬
