will of Milton Fisher, an Indian who died
on The Puyallup reservation. 1t provides
that his property of forty acres shall re-

disposition of the real property of an ln'

The Most Peculiar and Talented Blind
Han in the United States.

Inc Most Peculiar and Ialehtcu Diihu
Man in the United States.
There is a very wonderful blind man in
Bellefontaine. O.-one whom the Cincin
natl Enquirer correspondent has been
noticing for some time, and recently had
an in terview with. He is Floyd Steeley,
of Pennsylvania, and is at present max
ing his home with his brother-in.law, W.
K. Smith, q well.known farmer, who
lives about six miles from Bellefontaine,
on the De Graft pike. Mr.. Steeley has
been totally blind since he was four years
old, and he is probably the most peculiar
blind man in the United States. At the
age OF four years he accidentally put one
eve blind with pocket-knife, and the
other, becoming inhamed, went blind
also, He is totally blind, and has been so
since that age. The popularity about him
is that he is perfectly independent. He
absolutely pequires no assistance He
saws that the count try in which he was
raised is very rough and hilly one, and
That his father early taught him to try
and look for himself, and the result is
wonderful.
lS :
When he came to Bellefontaine he made
careful inquiry as to where his brother-in'
law lived, the route, ETC., IN l then start
ed and walked there alone, making the
distance in about one hour. Just one mile
from here there are five forks to the road,
one of which leads to his relatives house.
He mado no mistake there, or IN several
other turns he had to make, and crossed
several culverts and bridges on the way
without accident. He sometimes walks
to town, sometimes rides horseback-even
rides tricycle.. He walks nearly twice
as fast as ordinary pedestrians, and can
absolutely go to any place he desires, the
post-cffice, any of the stores or offices, just
as we'll as person who can see' He can
tell instinctiveiy in q crowd when he
turns out or in, and threads his way in
the largest crowds with perfect ease. In
deed, many who see him do not know his
infirmity. He is musician, and attends
his class in the country with perfect case,

THE FARM HOUSE.
Hints and Suggestions Relating to Its
Location and Surroundings.

Hints and Suggestions Relating to Its
Location and Surroundings.
Too little attention is paid TO the
Surroundings of the house to insure
the best health TO the farmer and his
family. Ii is very difficult to manage
stock farm or even grain farm
where only q sufficient number of
stock is kept to run the farm without
having more or less manure scattered
around. So that one of the very first
items on the farm is the proper loca-
tion of the house, barn and feed lot
in order that the influence will not be
felt at the house.
One of the most prolific sources of
disease is the water OF all things
on the farm the most care should be
given to insure the purity OF the
drinking wafer and that in the house
should be as pure as possible. On
some farms where there is stiff hard
clay, or white hard pan, there is not
near as much risk as in loose, sandy
or gravelly soil. But yet it is far
better 10 see that all the water
from the barn and feed lots is
drained. away from the direction of
the house well.
Piles of manure should not be al
lowed to decay or stand where the air
will be driven by the wind to the
house, where it must be breathed.
The same may be said of old piles OF
STU fodder or weeds. There should
be care taken in locating the sites for
out-buildings, such as poultry houses,
y privv, hog pens, ETC., so as to build
them so that the air from them Will
not reach the house. If you depend
a u"on ponds for stock water see that
I they are located a sufficient distance
so that the poisonous air from them
will not reach the house.
While we all admire shade, yet too
much of it around a house will make
it too damp. We must be willing to
admit the sunlight, and for this reason
too many shade trees around the house
keep out the sunlight and interfere
with the free circulation of air, thus
uaking the house unhealthy.
Keep down the weeds from around
the house. The rank growth of weeds
is another source of disease and should
be avoided by destroying them Def re
they can get a good start 1t requires
but little extra work TO keep every
thing about the farm neat and clean,
but if you once allow the weeds and
other sources of foul air TO get u COOL
s,art it may take considerable extra
time and labor TO thoroughly clean up,
besides running great risk # having
doctor bills to pay, coupled with con-
siderable suffering and anxiety. to
more than pay for the labor of keep
ing every thing clear from the start. -
