A Miracle in Vermont.
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A
WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN.
Stricken with an Incnrahle Disease and
yet Cured.
(From the Argue and Jatriot, Montpelier, 17.)
Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved
from Bradford to Chelsea, Vt., and bought
the sawmill at the latter place. lie was
known as one of the strongest men in that
section. On Dec. 20, ’92 while at work in
the mill, he was struck in the back by a
flying board, which seriously injured him
and incapacitated him for work of any kind.
As a result of this, Locomotor Ataxia set in,
(this is a form of paralysis which deprives
the patient of ail use of his lower limbs.)
The Argue & Patriot interviewed Mr. Hutch
inson to day, and his story is here given in
his own words.
“.My back ached continually and my legs
began to grow numb and to be less and less
usable. By the 15th of April I could do
absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to
stand. My physicians advised me to go to
the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burlington,
to be treated, and I took their advice. When
I left home my friends hade inc good-bye,
never expecting to see me alive again.
The physicians at the hospital told me that
my case was a serious one and I was com
pletely discouraged. I remained* at tho
hospital seven weeks and took the medicines
which the doctors gave me. 1 felt better at
the hospital and thought that I was recover
ing, and went home to continue their treat
ment, which 1 did for two months, and also
hud an electric battery under their advice.
The improvement, however, did not continue
-BtttJL.l began to give up hope. August Ist,
1893, I'could not get out of my chair without
assistance, and if I got down upon the floor, I
could not get up alone. About this time I
chanced to read an account of the wonder
ful curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People in cases similar to my
own. I slid not have any faith in the Pills
but thought a trial could do no harm, so I
bought some without telling anyone what I
was going to do. After I had been taking
them some time I found that, for the first time
in months I was able to walk down to the
post office, and my neighbors began to dis
cuss the marked improvement in my health.
As I continued the medicine I continued to
improve, and soon recommenced work in
the mill, nt first very lightly, and increasing
as I was able and as I gained in health and
spirits, and now for the past three months I
have been working ten hours per day almost
as steadily as I ever did. I feel well, eat
well and sleep well us I ever did and I have
no pain anywhere.”
Tlie reporter talked with several other gen
tlemen in regard to the case of Mr. Hutchin
son, who stated that any statement he might
make would be entitled to entire credence.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
herves. They are for sale by all druggists.

nnret, Etc.
Question. —Please tell mo the kind of
land best suited to ground peas, and
give me a, formula for a good fertilizer.
Is compost or lot manure good for this
crop ?
Answer.—The best land for ground
peas is a sandy loam with a good supply
of lime present. If this last element is
wanting tlie crop will be a failure. If
the land hu’ks lime, supply it at the rate
of 20 to 40 bushels to tho acre —tho
larger quantity if the land has plenty of
vegetable matter. This last is a very
important adjunct to a successful crop,
and one reason that our crops of ground
peas are not larger, is that we attempt
to raise them on land that has been
cropped and recropped until the humus
is all, or nearly all, exhausted. They
require besides lime, potash and
phosphoric acid nitrogen also, and it
is well for that reason to plant ground
peas after cwwpeas, or in gathering tho
crop of ground peas, if tho tops
are not otherwise utilized, to re
turn them to the land to be
plowed under, as they contain a large
i proportion of the nitrogen used in the
growth of the plant. The lime should
be applied broadcast before planting
and well-worked into the soil by the
harrow or cultivator. Lot manure or
compost may be used. It should, how
ever, be thoroughly decomposed. Tho
green or fermenting manure is not de
sirable. The following formula has
been found effective:
i Cottonseed Meal 300 pounds
Acid Phosphate 100 pounds
Kainit 250 pounds
I This quantity to be applied to each
acre.
If limo is needed and it is found im
practicable to apply broadcast, the fol
lowing is recommended:
Acid Phosphate 1,000 pounds
Muriate Potash 300 pounds
Nitrate Soda 200 pounds
Sulphate Limo 500 pounds
Making a ton of 2.000 pounds
To be applied at the rate of 200 or 300
pounds per acre.
Barnyard Manure 2,000 pounds
Cottonseed Meal 150 pounds
Kainit JOO pounds
Phosphoric Acid 50 pounds
riantlng* Fruits.
Question. —Would you advise plant
ing fruits, etc., to the exclusion of
standard crops?
Answer.—Your question suggests a
train of sober reflection. The success of
fruit culture in Georgia might lead one
to suppose that with our advantages of
soil and climate, fortunes might bo
easily realized in an occupation so pleas
ant, and known in individual instances,
to bo so profitable. But in farming, as
indeed in all other occupations, it has
been proven again and again that all
extremes are hurtful. That farmer is
safest, who adheres to the “happy me
dium” of diversified crops. Our sur
roundings make it comparatively easy
to raise a great variety of crops, and we
would not advise the cultivation of any
j one crop, be it corn or cotton or grain or
I fruits, to the entire exclusion of all oth
ers. To make our meat and bread and
I clothes, there must be corn and cotton
; and hogs raised on our farms, and were
farmers to any great extent to abandon
these for fruits or vegetables or any
other single crop, the consequence
would be markets overstocked, ruinously
low prices and utter disappointment.
As we have so often urged, the success
' ful handling of these minor crops im
i plies not only a thorough familiarity
: with the best plans of culture, but a
study of systems of packing and trans
■ portation, as well as of the markets
themselves. It is sad to see the results
of weeks and months of painstaking
labor dumped into the sea, because
' shipped to markets already glutted.
' This has been repeatedly the case with
i fruits and vegetables shipped without
I a previous study of the state of supply
and demand at different points, and the
produce being in its nature perishable,
the mistake one? made is irrevocable
and irremediable. If we would succeed
we must not trust “all our eggs to oue
basket,” It woulil seem that the all
wise Creator, when He gave us such a
I wide range of soil and climate, intended
that we should utilize them to the best
advantage, by that wise system of di
versity of crops which will insure all
that we need. The cultivation of fruits
. and vegetables should undoubtedly form
a part of the stated work on every farm,
j but should lie judiciously blended with
other work.—State Agricultural Depart-
: ment.
Keepiug Kainit.
Question. —Can kainit be kept for
anv length of time without loss of its
valuable properties?
Answer.—ls the kainit is kept dry,
it loses very little if auy of its fertilizing
pr. iperties. The objection to keeping it
is that it is liable to harden into lumps,
and before it can be used it becomes
necessary to crush it by rolling or
pounding, as it cannot be property ap
plied in that condition.—State Agri
cultural Department

Victims of Politics.
Don’t go into politics for fun.
It may be fun at the start, but it is
crucifixion at tho last. The paths
of politics in all lands are lined on
both sides with the bleached skel
etons of mighty men. "Hand us
another,’’ says public life, as it
pitches one man aside and clutches
some promising man in law or
merchandise or social position.
Politics must be reformed, and if
you have the martyr spirit go into
them ; but if vou undertake that
style of life for regalement and
profit, you make u mistake that
cannot be corrected. A United
States senator writes this advice to
a boy: If I were to express any re
grets or designate any great error
of my life, it would be that I had
ever connected myself with party
politics, or accepted a political
office. If you would be happy or
useful, or self-respecting. I would
advise you to let party politics and
political positions severely’ alone.
The only safe spirit in which to
enter polities is the martyr spirit,
and then if you are sacrificed, you
will not be surprised. The fact
' ! that you have great brains affords
no safety. That is the very reason
why yon will be put down or vic-
: iously handled.

The strength which comes to us
• from eating nourishing food is bet
, ter than stimulation, because it is
t new strength.
The health which belongs to a
strong body, well nourished by
proper food (properly digested), is
the only health that is lasting.
The difference between Shaker
Digestive Cordial and other med
icines is simply that it helps na
ture to make strength. It does not
profess to cure sickness, except as
that sickness is a result of weak
ness cased by food not properly di

and make thin, sick, weak people
as well as if their stomachs had
never been out of order.
It is a gentle aid to the digestion
of nature’s strength-maker, food.
