his own account of his illness:
I'm the latter part of 1880, was taken
down with severe attack Of typhoid fever,
which confined me to my bed for two months.
Two months is long time to be in bed, but

rheumatism seized me, and it was worse than
the typhoid, for it was more painful To
add to my trouble and make it more inter.

followed by a stroke of paralysis, and l lost
almost totally the use of my legs and arms,
FOR l could not walk step and could not
feed myself 1t would seem that / had
reached the depths of misery, but such was
mot the case, for my kidneys gave out, and
this seemed TO be the last straw on the load
that was to crush me.

cover, and though the doctors came to see
me and prescribed, it was easy to see that
they were but trying to make my pathway
to the grave little more easy, without the
rem0test hope Of recovery, and looked for
ward to death with happiness.

a Splendid Thing Where Cattle Are Kept

It pays to keep horses teeth in order.
Unless the food is properly masticated
by tine teeth and mixed with saliva be-
fore it is swallowed, il cannot be util-
lied fully by the digestive apparatus.
There is loss of food and there is q
tendency to the establishment of dis
ease that may be either of a mildly
detrimental character or may be ser1-
GUS enough to produce death. When

A Few Of Them Can BE Found In Every
Average Herd.
We used to hear about breeds and
strains of hogs that were cholera proof;
we hear no more Of them now, says
Wallace's Farmer. Nevertheless facts
Rbundantly testify that some hogs are
cholera proof. In some herds one or two
brood sows will go through a siege of
cholera, eating among the dead and dy-
ing, and remain in the most perfect
health and vigor, and occasionally, but
very seldom, we hear of some whose
litters are equally cholera proof We
would not say that these animals were
worth their weight in gold, for that
would be stretching 1t, but they are
worth more money than any man would
dare to ask for them, and should not be
sold under any circumstances short of
the entire loss Of usefulness.
It will usually be found that brood
sows that have had the disease and re-
cover will not succumb to it on second
visit. We therefore regard animals of
this kind as worth double the usual
value in times like these. This matter
Is of practical Importance just now.
The man may be considered happy
whose herds have been attacked in time
to allow the survivors to be put in the
best condition for breeding. tits ques-
tionable whether in fact the farmer has
sustained any real loss in the line Of
brood sows if he has saved so per cent.

Save these brood sows, and males like

The floor Of the stalls should be made

under ut night, but there should be feed
boxes in which to give salt, and where
ear corn or ground feed can be fed If
desired. The feed boxes should be at
the back part of the shed and fastened
securely three feet from the ground.
The feed lot should be located on dry,
solid ground, and must be furnished
with good water troughs or tanks, and
around these there should be foot of
broken stone and gravel, so that in the
worst weather IL would not get muddy,
but II i'm locality where stone and
gravel cannot be had plank floor can
take its place. The yard must not be
allowed TO become mudhole, but be
kept covered with straw and the fodder
waste so ss to keep the stock out Of the
mud. 1t Is advisable to have a lot ad-
joining inclosed with secure fence in
to which the cattle can be driven IL de-
sirable while putting their feed in the
boxes or managers. Most cattle are fed
shock corn, and when this Is the case
they are fed in portable managers made
8 feet wide and 10 or IA feet long. They
must be made strong, and there should
be corner posts A inches square, and one
post in the middle OF each side, making
six In all. Cross pieces 2x4 Of strong,
hard wood, preferably oak, should be
bolted to the posts to hold them TO-
gether and support the floor of the man
gers, and the floor should be two feet
above the ground, so that the hogs that
follow the cattle can get under them to
get the waste corn, and the posts should
be 3 feet and inches high so that the
hogs cannot jump into the managers and
togive sufficient depth to hold the fodder
corn. The waste from the fodder will
soon accumulate around these managers
SO as TO keep the cattle clean. Six de-
horned steers, or often eight, will eat
from one OF these hangers, but / would
advise that one be provided for each six
steers. II 1t is desirable at any time 70

placed beside It and two men can tip
the manger over on the sled and take it
where it is wanted. The hangers
must be 40 arranged as to give plenty Of

wagon aud turn the team and pass out.
The managers should stand far enough
apart so that cattle can stand and eat
out Of either side or end of any one Of
them and not interfere with those at
the adjoining hangers.

mated by experienced cattle feeders
