Many of our readers may remember an item
in this paper a year ago last fall which stated
that MIR. William Simpson, well-to-do far
mer, living near Rugby, Ind, had been
stricken with paralysis of the lower limbs, and
his recovery was doubtful
The case which 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 pleased to relate to re-
porter the particulars regarding his case, and
his subsequent recovery:

Starting Fig Trees.

How to grow fig trees and have
them hardy enough to stand one
winter, writes a correspondent of the
Farmer and Rice Journal, is a prob
lem l have studied on for ten years,
and I think [ have learned something
in that time. First, it is necessary to
get a good, early growth Of the tree.
This can be done by cultivation and
fertilizing. If the trees do not make
good growth early in the season,
they will be likely to grow again in
the fall, which will make them ten
der. If they do not stop growing by
the first of August, pinch off the
growing ends and rub off every bud
that starts out again. The tree needs
the remainder of the season to perfect
it's wood.
The quality of. the fertilizers used
has much to do with the making of
hardy trees. Wood ashes make the
best fertilizer [ have seen used. A.
Mr. Ladd, at Welsh, showed me about
eight Brunswick fig trees few days
ago that are the incest ] ever saw of
that tender variety. They are about
seven years old, and all are perfect

with fruit. He told me that he had
put hard wood ashes around them.
Last year he gathered twenty-five
bushels of fruit from four of these
trees.
To secure the best results in fig
raising one must cultivate the ground
very shallow over the roots and deep
er beyond the limits of them. Mulch
ing is variable in summer, but should
be removed in the winter. A firm soil
gives off heat in a cold night. Very
young trees should be banked high
with dirt. Then, if they freeze to the
ground, they will have short trunk
left.

There is nothing in the strawberry
industry more unsatisfactory and ex-
asperating than to get a late stand
and then to coddle it through the fall
drouth, puttering with water and
shade and perhaps with pinches of nj
trate of soda, and then not see the
plants grow a single leaf in a fort
night, perhaps even longer. On the
other hand, plants set in July or Au-
gust and well-rooted before the
drouth begins, will grow in the driest,
hottest weather, grow in a way which
is surprising to the novice. By all
means let the grower provide an
abundant supply of vigorous plants,
with a margin for losses, and then get
an early start (See paragraph on
South Florida, further along.)
Setting Old Plants.-This is to be
avoided if possible, but sometimes it
is necessary. Vigorous plants not over
two years old, if taken up early, di-
vided into fingers, properly prepared
and set will frequently fruit about as
we'll as young plants.
Before the new fall growth sets in
an old plant is nothing but a bulb; it
has no live feeding-roots whatever.
This bulb is wrapped up in a quantity
of dry, leathery husk. The feeding
roots which start first are white and
exceedingly tender and frail. If this
old, tough husk is not removed it
takes them along time to penetrate it
and reach the earth. Scrape it away
with a knife or wiring it off with the
hand, thoroughly, down to the pink
not into it. These minute, white roots
spring close to the surface of the
ground, directly below the base of the
leaves; hence the cleaning of an inch
in length is sufficient. IF this husk
is not removed the plants will get
such a late start that they will not
amount to anything.
Setting Plants With Trowel.-
Where the plants do not have to be
carried but a few rods and the earth
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-22

is tenacious, the writer has found it
very satisfactory to transplant with
a trowel. A careful hand can work
at this all day regularly in anything
except the very driest, hottest wealth,
er. This method is slow but sure. By
it large, strong plants can be removed
as late as November and still bear
good crop. A nearly fiat, wide trowel
is better than one deeply dished. Be
careful not to break open the earth
containing the plants. If the earth is
somewhat dry water the bed before
taking up the plants.

can be loosened up again. Hold the
roots of the plant against the frmest
side of the hole and fill in with moist
earth; all dry, crumbly soil should be
brushed away and not allowed to fall
into the hole. lamp the earth down
solid clear to the bottom of the hole;
if an air-hole is left it will dry out
and kill the plant. Stamp the surface
down with the foot or strike it a
smart blow with the fist. To test the
work take hold of a leaf and pull; if
the plant is properly set the leaf will
break off before it will loosen the
plant. When the filling in is complet-
ed the bud of the plant should be just
on level with the surrounding sur
face. In a very dry time, however, it
is well to set the plants in the bottom
of light furrow made by a hand
pillow, though, when a shower comes,
it will be necessary to examine the
plants to see if any have become sand
earth.
1t is a mistake to have a large
quantity of roots on a plant. They
make a loose bundle which can not
be compressed tight enough to ex-
clude the air and they will dry out;
whereas a few long roots, reaching
down to permanent moisture, can be
so closely packed with earth that they
can not dry out but will draw moist
ure steadily and keep the plant alive.
. Time of Setting. grower of
strawberries for the earliest markets
should beware of delay in setting.
Better harvest the COW peas or crab
grass when half grown, prepare the
beds and plant rather than wait for
the hay crop to mature and thus have
a late stand. A small, thin-fOliaged
plant, is very poor piece of property
in the spring when frosts are falling.
On the contrary, large, deep-grown,
powerful plant, set in July or August
and encouraged by constant care and
feeding to steadily progressive, I'M
checked development, will, in time of
frost, protect it's fruit as a b"ooding
hen does her chickens. We can not
write too phatically on this sub
ject. The frost will pierce through
and through the weak, small plant
and freeze every berry, every bios
som; while the grand plant, fully ma
tured, will hide away dozens, yes
scores, of blooms and berries in its
voluminous foliage which the frost
will never touch. A certain proper
ton on the outside may be frosted,
but nothing short of a bitter freeze
can penetrate it's INTERIOR Such are
the benefits of early planting.
Watering and Shading. best
way to water before planting is to
punch the holes and fill them with
water; when this has soaked away set
the plants as above described. Wa
tering strawberry plants newly set in
a drouth is generally labor lost, unless
there is an irrigation plant, enabling
the growers to saturate the ground
1t is usually more eficacious to set
the plants in the bottom of a slight
hand-plow furrow and cover each one
with shingle or a dwarf palmetto

ANOTHER SIDE
ONE OF PADDY SHEA'S FRIENDS
TALKS
Dawson Unable Eat Anything Since
Sunday

Dawson Unable to Eat Anything Since
Dawson, the man shot by Paddy Shea,
is very low yet. Not until last night
would mis- stomach retain any food OF
any kind. At about O'Clock last even
ing ne drank some sweet milk through
a straw DR.. Cave is of the opinion that
if Dawson lives till o'clock today Gne
will get well. Commenting upon the
Eagles articles yesterday concerning
the shooting an intimate friend of Snea
said:
Paddy Shea has lived in Wichita fif-
teen years and is man that never
sought trouble with any one, but on the
contrary was Of a peaceable disposition,
and even his contests in the ring have
been of a friendly character. This is the
first difficulty ne has ever been in.
Numbers Of parties were at Geuda
Springs at the time Paddy Shea was
there, who say they know he was there
for his health and to get the benefit of
the water, and for no other purpose.
While Paddy was at the Springs they
know he wa. very solicitous about his
family; claimed that his wife had not
been writing to him for some time, and
he was afraid the child was sick or
something was wrong, and during this
time this man Dawson, with a number
of aliases, ingrstiated himself into the
affections Of Mr.. Shea's wife and upon
Mr.. Shea's return he found that they
had gone away together. From this
time on Mr.. Shea and his wife remained
separate, and on the day Of the difficulty
Mrs. Shea went TO a number of parties
for protection, claiming that Dawson
had threatened to kill her; that Dawson
was jealous of Mr.. Shea and warned her
not to go to Sheas place alone. The
theory advanced 10y some Of Shea's enc
mics. about Mr.. Shea being at Geuda
Springs or Arkansas City for any other
purpose than for treatment, is without
any foundation.
This man Dawson is a man OF des-
perate character; that three Tevolvers.
three watches and a large amount of
other jewelry was found on his person
at the time of the difficulty. When the
case is tried it will fully show that Shea
did no more than any othe- man would
under the circumstances"

SarsapariIIa.
Yes, Scrofula, if fanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may paIliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can ehect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
