Paralysis of His Lower Limbs

From the New Era. Greensburg, Ind.
Many of our readers may remember an
item in this paper year ago last fall which
stated that Mr. William Simpson, well-to.
do farmer, living near Rugby, Ind, had
been stricken with paralysis of the lower
limbs, and his recovery was doubtful.
The case which was an unusually severe
and complicated one has at last been entirely
cured, to the utmost surprise and JOY OF Mr.,
Simpson and his family.
Mr. Simpson was pleased to relate to
reporter the particulars regarding his case,
and his subsequent recovery.

sou, Il did a large amount of work. My

and also husked all my corn. To accom-

About the first of December, as | was
getting my fall work about done, | sut-
fered a stroke of paralysis, which the physi'
clan said was brought on by excessive labor.
My left limb was entirely helpless and my
right limb was fast becoming so. My ply

upon me for a week or so, he brought me a
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

REQUIRES JUDGMENT.
Starting Herd of ThOroughhreds rs
Il Serious Undertaking.

We have received numerous inquiries
from young breeders throughout the
country of late, asking our advice as to
the advisaDility OF starting in the pure
bred swine business, and how they shall
go about it to build up herd. This
is subject upon which we do not wish
to give advice, says the Prairie Farmer
for the reason that very much of the
success OF the swine breeding business
depends upon the adaptability Of the
breeder to the business. Where one
breeder will succeed and make money
out of the business, another, under like
conditions, will totally fail, and this is,
perhaps, wholly due to the want of
his liking to the business or his judg-
ment in carrying on the business.
We do not know of any time in the
history of pure-bred swine breeding
when there was so favorable an oppor-
tunity for young men to work into the
business. But it must be done in a
careful, judicious way, and expansion
must come with maturing judgment.
There is constantly increasing de-
mand for the best sort of pigs that ex-
perienced breeders can raise, and we
think that the demand for them will
not decrease for many years to come
Our first advice would be to all who
wish to enter the business to post them
selves up well as to details-not only
as to the proper handling and manage
ment of the old and the young stock
but as to the breeding of popular fam.
lilies and getting them into line with
snch stuff as there will likely be de.
mand for.
There would be just as much reason
in manufacturer loading up his ware.
house with lot of goods for which he
anticipates demand after awhile, but
for which there was no present call, as
there is for a breeder to raise uncalleC
for stuff. A breeder must produce Just
such things as the buyer wants, and il
! the taste of the buyer changes year after
| year the breeder must change with him
! 1t is all right in sentiment to educate
the buyers up to what you have to sell
if you can do it, but many have founC
this process uphill work.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

CIRCULAR FEED RACK.
Especially Useful Where Large FIOcks
of Sheep Are Kept.

For feeding hay, straw, cornstalks or
other rough feed to sheep a circular
feed rack is sometimes wanted, For
the construction of one as outlined be-
low take two boards (aa) 1X12 inches
and the length it is desired the diameter
of the rack to be. My rack is IA feet in
diameter, but rack may be similarly
constructed 16, IS or 20 feet, as desired.
At the center of each board saw notch
(b) half way across so that they will
frame together, crossing at right an
giles. You then have a base of opera
tions, and as many boards (o) as desired
can be placed between and fitted into
the corners. Such boards will be half
the length of boards IA. Measure in from
each out end top edge 16 or IS inches,
or as far as it is desired to have the bot
tom of the rack wide, as at c, and then
nail stout cleat (d) perpendicularly
or at any desired angle, provided the
top of the rack is to be wider than the
bottom. Saw down close to the strip
(e) inches deep, taking out a piece
~ inches wide. Next to this strip
bend around some half-inch Eastwood
or elm boards (f) and nail them fast to
the 1x4 in d. Next to this bend and in
