A Miracle in Vermont.
THE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF A
WELL-KNOWN CHELSEA MAN. i
■trlclceu with an Incurable Dleeaee and
yrt Cured.
(From the Argui and Patriot, Montpelier, 17.)
Eight years ago Geo. Hutchinson moved i
from Bradford to ('he)sea, Vt., and bought
the saw mill at the latter place. He was
known as one of the strong'-:,! men in that
section. <>n Hee. 20, ’92 while at work in
the mill, he was struck in the back by a
flying board, which seriously injured him
an<l 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 all use of his lower limbs.)
The Aryiin Sc 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 ami less
usable. By the 15th of April I could do
absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to
aland. My phvsicians advised me to go to
the Miry Fletcher Hospital at Burlington,
to be tr -oted, and 1 took their advice. When
1 left home my friends bide me good-bye,
never expecting to see me alive again.
The physicians at the hospital told me that
iny case was a serious oue and I was com- !
pletely discouraged. i remained»at the
nospital seven weeks and took the medicines
which the doctors gave me. I felt better at
the hospital and thought that I was recover
ing, an I went home to continue their treat
ment, which I did for two months, and also
had an electric battery under their advice.
The improvement, however, did not continue
_ und I b‘b?an to give up hope. August Ist,
* ""FMskk 1 c >uhl not get out of my chair without
assistitßce, and if I got down upon the floor, I
could noi-ggt U P alone. About this time I I
chanced to read an account of the wonder- |
fill curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Fuji
i’ills for Pale People in cases similar to t-F 'i
own. I did not have any faith in the ,'J* t-’
but thought a trial could do no harm, B'!*\
bought some without telling anyone what j ,
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- I
cuss the marked improvement in my health. I
As I continued the medicine I continued to
improve, mid soon recommenced work in
the mill, nl first very lightly, and increasing
as I was able and as I gained in health amt
spirits, ami 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 ami sleep well as I ever did and I have
no pain anywhere.”
The reporter talked with several other gen- .
tlemcn in regard to the case of Mr. Ilutchin- |
son, who stated that any statement he might
make would be entitled to entire credence.

VETCH AS FORAGE PLANT.
Not Cultivated to Any Great Extent In
the u outh a* Yet.
Questio?;. —Pleave tell mo something
i ab »nt Vetch, which I have heard highly
I recommended us a forage plant for the
south?
Answer. —As yet tl.ir crop is not cul
tivated to any groat extent. A few
' men, notably iiaj >r Warren of Augusta,
have cultivated it with great success
i and a recent special bulletin of the
i United States department of agricul
| ture speaks of the Hairy, Sand or Rus- |
sian Vetch (known by all throe names)
as one of the most pr imising fodder '
crops introduced into this country in re
cent years. It withstands heat and cold
and drouth, and while it will give a fair
crop on poor land, is as are all other for
age crops, most profitable on rich and
well prepared land. It is eaten with
relish by all farm animals, makes
a most desirable ensilage, and is a most
excellent forage plant for soiling pur
p< sos. On account of its habit of growth
jit is difficult to cure as hay. As to time ’
of sowing, etc., we quote from the bul
letin: “Hairy Vetches may be planted
from about the middle of August to the
middle of September, or in spring from
th.- latter part of April until the middle
iof May. Sow broadcast at the rate of a
bushel an.l a half of seed per acre, or
I plant in chills two to four feet apart,
i The latter plan will require a smaller
j amount of seed. The seed are as yet
I expensive, about $6 a bushel of GO
*i pounds. When the seed is put in brotul
| cast a bushel of oats, rye or wheat
■ should bo sown at the same time so as
I to furnish a support for the vetches and
I keep the vines off the ground. If it is
I sown in drills in the latter part of Aug
| ust it should be cultivated several times
I between the rows. It will furnish some
i forage in autumn, and where the winter
' is not too severe it will start to grow
: again in the spring, thus producing for-
I age in late autumn and early spring, at
I the two periods when it is most
; needed.” At the Mississippi experiment
, station seed of this crop was sown in
No attention has been given it
j ami each year its seeds germinate with
1 the first fall rains, and in favorable sca-
I sons cover the ground by January 1,
furnishing good grazing until April or
May. If the stock is taken off in March
the plants mature and reseed the ground
freely for (he next year.
This crop will not flourish o:.-> wet
land, it likes a well drained soil. If
sown in the fall it prevents washing
during the winter. It is to be fed when
the vines begin to blossom, and the feed
should at first be limited until the ani
mals become accustomed to the change
of food. For the best feeding results it
should be given with coarse fodder or
hay.
Howard, in his Manual on the “Cul
tivation of the Grasses and Forage
Plants at the South,” mentions the
winter and summer vetch and
also one or two native varieties, and
speaks iu commendation of their
use both as a forage crop, and as an im
prover of the soil—more especially iu
those soils too sandy for the successful
growth of red clover, A gentleman of
long experience in its culture, speaks of
the ordinary vetch as one of the simplest
grasses grown. He says that peas do
not excel it as a land improver. It does
not form a sod, is strictly an annual,
but if allowed to mature and drop its
seed, they lie dormant during the
hot days of summer; then when
j the fall rains begin and the nights be
come longer and cooler, they begin to
| germinate and soon cover the ground.
| One advantage is that there need be
| only one seeding, and with proper man
agement other crops may be made and
taken off and the vetch will again spring
up spontaneously.—State Agricultural
Department.
Difference In the Value of Manure,
Qufstion'. —Will you explaiu why you
speak cf some lot manure as being mere
valuable than others, saved from the
same class of animals, all kept under
shelter, all composted under the same
conditions and with the same ingre
dients ?
Answer. —This question has been Joo
little studied by the majority of farmers.
There is a prevailing idea that “manure
is manure,” and no matter what the
f<xxl of the animals, or what the vicis
situdes of winds and weather to which
j it is exposed, it is all equally valuable
and will retain its elements of plant
food unimpaired. Careful study and
experiment have revealed the fact, that
we can so regulate the fotxl of our ani
mals as to both quantity and quality, as
to control the fertilizing elements of the
manure. For instance, that con
tained an abandonee of nitrogen, would
produce manure rich in this element—
and the same holds true of phosphoric
acid and potash. At the Cornell Sta
tion, justly celebrated, it was shown
: that if animals were properly fed and
sheltered, and the manure carefully
saved, 71 per cent of the potash, phos
phoric acid and nitrogen of plant food
: was recovered in the manure. It has
also been shown that poor feed makes a
poor quality of manure, and that man
ure exposed in the barnyard foi- some
time before using, loses at least half its
valuable constituents—you can thus
readily understand that manure varies
greatly in its fertilizing value, and that
in feeding our aYiimalsjwe should study
to produce the richest manure, aud also
I endeavor by proper feed to produce that
quality of manure best suited to the pur
pose and crop for which we intend to use
1 it.— State Agricultural Department.
McGREGOR, TEXAS.
, lam a native of Chattooga
county and a constant reader cf
the Chattooga News, which is ,
brimful of “news from home”and
each issue is a welcome visitor to,
our home and is appreciated be
yond my ability to appraise it.
Suffice it to say that we could not
very well do without it.
; Wou’d that every reader of the
: News could sae Texas as it now
appears, with its boundless prairies
covered with a mat of grass, a
beautiful green tint, varying from
two to six inches in height, inter
mingled with the most beautiful
Howers that God in His infinite
wisdom, placed in this, the North
Temperate zone. Each, from tho
tiny daisy to the full blown rose,
is vicing with his neighbor in col
or, odor and loveliness. Many off
the nv st beautiful Howers which
are cultivated and prized so highly
L. irgia, grow wild on the prai
ries. The atmosphere is filled with
a perfume which is delightful be
yond nesciipt’/u. This could at
this season be very appropriately
termed the “Laud of Howers,” and
“meat nurse for a poetic child.”
Had I but the expression of Shake
speare or the vocabulary of Web
ster I then might describe to you
tho beauties of the western prairies
Beautiful little cities of recent
growth, are scattered over the coun
try with but few miles intervening;
these are situated where only a
few years ago wild cattle, wolves,
buffaloes, pan hers, wildcats, etc.,
roamed at leisure. The beautiful
town of A— which has twenty-five
hundred inhabitants, was twelve
years ago an immense prairie. It
now has six beautiful churches,
quite a number of business estab
lishments, an oil mill, an opera
house, a $20,000 college building,
and the foundation for a large cot
ton mill is being is being laid, also
a large and commodious compress
is nearing completion. In this
town there is more commerce car
ried on than in Rome, Georgia.
The people of Texas are thor
oughly awake to their duty in
regard to education. Many are
the grand institutions of learning
that are scattered over the state
and sufficiently near that all may
secure an education. One of these
is the Bayljr University or Sum
mer Normal situated at Waco.
This is devoted to teachers that
the}’ may better prepare themselves
for their occupation. It continues
through June and July and when
a person attends this Normal one
summer, he can with no trouble,
secure a first grade teacher’s cer
tificate which is good for four
years. Another noted seat of
learning is the Sam Houston or
State Normal situated at Hunts
ville, Texas. A diploma from this
Institute grants a person a ten
year’s certificate for -teaching
school.
Tae public schools of Texas con
tinue five months, beginning the
first of November and closing the
last of March. The extreme heat
of summer prevents teaching in
that season. Teachers are paid a
salary varying from if 35.00 to $l5O
per month, wages received at the
close of each month. Any one de
siring further information concern
ing Texas or school teaching in
Texas. I will gladly impart to them
my experience since casting my
lot with these good people. My

Two Physicians Arrested.
Chattanooga, Tenn , April 21.
—Richard A. Baker, a carpenter
living at St. Elmo, a suburb of this
city, brought suit today against
Drs. R. J. Trippe and 11. B. Wil
son, prominent physicians, alleg
ing that they killed his wife by
reckless and criminal administra
tion of chloroform. The arrest of
the two physicians was also caused
on a warrant. Mrs. Baker died
recently under tho influence of
chloroform. The affair has caus
ed a sensation in medical circles.
During tho winter of 1893, F. M,
Martin, cf Long Reach, West Va.,
contracted a severe cold which
left him with a cough. In speak
ing of how lie cured it he says: “I
used several kinds of cough syrup
but found no relief until I bought
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, which relieved me almost
instantly, and in a short time
brought about a complete cure.”
When troubled with a cough or
cold use tliis remedy and you will
not find it necessary to try several
kinds before you getrelief. It has
been in tho market for over twenty
years and constantly grown in fa
vor and popularity. For sale at

He Jumped.
Out west they have a game call
ed “Frog,” and one evening not
long since a prominent citizen was
sitting in a saloon with his back
to the door, playing his favorite
game with two kindred spirits. Di
rectly the partner of his joys, who
happened to belong to the order
of “new women,” silently entered
the saloon, unobserved and took
her position behind his chair- The
cards had been dealt; it came the
prominent citizen’s turn to say
what would be his line of .action
in the game. Striking the trifle
with his hand, he shouted, ' “I
frog!” “Well, then you jump!”
shouted the irate wife as she
brought her open hand down with
lightning rapidity on his devoted
head. He jumped! :nd his part
ners fled, and now the prominent
village citizen rejoices in the fact
that he is a “new man” safely
moored to the apron strings of his
“new woman.”

Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report

A wild rumor of “a man drowned

moved from the neighborhood to
another part of town and the little
dog being fond of his old homo and
full of local attachment, returned
to the scenes of his buried treas

bits of of spare ribs, and his antics
aroused the suspicions of the ex
citable ones and hence the rumor.

Quito a number of English spar
rows infest the court house portico,
building nests in places adapted
I for that pui pose. Last week three
I reputable citizens while sitting in

, tug at a long hair in his mane. He
pulled out the hair and flow back

SPAIN MAY NEGOTIATE.
. Cuban Deforms, Moi'o Liberal
Than Heretofore Contempla
ted May be Granted.
i New York, April 23. A dispatch
i to the World, from Madrid says:
‘'The report that an undorstand
i ing is about to bo reached between
Spain and tho United States in re
gard to Cuba is favorably received
in financial circles without stop
ping to inquire whether tho wel
come nows I),' true or not.
“According to tho current story,
tho Spanish government is to grant
to Cuba very soon, home rule on a
much broader scale than is con
templated in tho fills which have
so far passed the Coitez, ami that
this concession is to bo supplemen
ted by tariff reforms and a treaty
of reciprocity to develop trade be
tween the United States, and the
Spanish West Indies.
The Liberal says:
‘“The Spanish mothers whoso
130,000 sons are about to bo expo
sed to tho deadly climate of Cuba
during the rainy season, the Span
ish tax payers who ; >pprehend tho
consequences of the heavy cost of
a prolonged civil war and, indeed,
the whole nation at heart would
gladly welcome tho pacification of
Cuba by an early, sincere conces
sion of reforms now admitted by
almost al; Spanish politicians to
bo urgent and inevitable.’
“His prevalent
impression in many circles that'
the best course for Spain to pursue
is to bow to tho pressure and cir
cumstances ore it is .too late and
do with good grace what possibly
avert Cuban independence
as procrastination and misguided
postponement of tardy concessions
may lead to a conflict with Ameri
ca.”
On tho other hand, directly tho
.jingo papers perceived tho drift < f
public opinion they again started
an anti-American campaign. Tho ’
Herald opened lire by affecting to
lament tho decay of pride, patrio
tism and popular enthusiasm, pre
dicting tho successive loss to. Spain
of her colonies all over tho world
through foreign influence.
“Tho Imparcial follows, die!: r
ing that the nation will ne\*r al
•ow its government to bow t<i A
merican interference in favm \if
West Indian and homo rule. Ifk,
upbraids Sonor Moret for admit
ting tho possibility of negotiating
with President Cleveland ‘whoso
advances ought to be met vith a
clear, decisive refusal.’ ”
Other jingo organs imitated the
Imparcial menace tho monarchy
and its government with dire con
sequences if President Cleveland is
not told to mind his own-business.
