PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic S fate to which he seemed
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
1.-The DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney, "told
me that if l wanted to live any length
of time would have to give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would III
time involve my whole body"
"Just how were you afflicted at this
time ?" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
Into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain in the spine.
Might after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect of the opiatos l was forced to take
to induce sleep. AZ / look back on the
terrible suffering l endured during this
period often wonder how retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when I
was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
me entirely well. There can be no doubt
about the thoroughness Of my cure. for
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly four years"
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the Merrimac Hat Company and resides
at l0l Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass.
The remedy which. he used with such
satisfactory results, is sold by al! drug
gists, or direct by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N Y.

Grinding Corn for Swine.

We believe in feeding swine 50 that
they will have something to keep them
busy as well as for the best results to
be obtained from the grain, so we feed
the corn whole and usually on the cob
until it gets hard and fllnty, when it IS
either shelled and soaked little to
soften it or soaked on the cob. All
other grains are ground because it has
been demonstrated that the smaller
grains go through the animals and do
them but little good, Carrying out the
plan Of keeping the swine busy, we al
ways have something for them to
chew on-cornstalks, squares of sod,
apples, potatoes and other vegetables,
and we do not see that they take on
fat any slower because of this plan of
feeding. Pure water is given them in
clean troughs twice a duy during the
winter and we know they thrive bet
ter for having it.-EXchange.

Loading Corn Fodder.

Loading corn fodder may not be
very hard work to the small farmer,
but when one has the product Of many
acres to load it becomes a formidable
operation. The work can be much
more easily done If the following de-
vice Is used: Make a loader by using
a twoinch plank ten feet long with
cleats of inch stuff nailed on one side
at short intervals. At one end nail
cleat on the under side, which will be
three inches wider than the board on
each side. Tie small ropes to this cleat
and with them fasten the rack TO the
back part Of the wagon rack, the lower
end Of the plank resting on the
ground.
This makes n stepladder up which it
is easy to walk and If strongly made
man can readily carry up 1t all he can
get his arm around With this plan

wagon easily without spending the

Picket Fence Device.

A simple effective plan for building

Of Ava, Mo. He says:
A device which will answer the pur-
pose of Il fence machine Is made as
follows: Take pieces Of 2x4 foot or
so long, bore two small holes near the
end of each, put the wires through
these holes and fasten to post where
you wish to begin. Then stretch your
wire and staple to post some distance
ahead, leaving the staples loose
enough so the wire will slip when it is
drawn tight. Let eight or ten feet Of
wire extend beyond the post and to
those fasten heavy weights to keep the

JUROR IN GUITEAU'S CASE.
Seventh of the Panel Passes Away in
City of WASHINGTON.

The recent death of Thomas II. Lang
ley, n member of the Guiteau jury, re-
calls that he was the seventh of that fa-
nous jury to pass away. Nearly Il quar-
ter of century has passed since the
verdict was rendered which condemned
Guiteau to be hung, and from time to
time stories have been printed of the
tragic ending of the several jurors who
condemned him to death-all arising
from the illness of one of them some
time after the law had been executed.
The remaining five of the jury, John
Hamln, Bright, Brawner Wormley and
Gates, are living in Washington and are
now what may be termed old men, as %
years was the average age of the jury
twentyfour years ago
John +. Hamlin. who was foreman of
the jury, now in his eighty-third year,
was seen at his home on Columbia
Heights yesterday. Mr.. Hamln has
been for a number of years messenger
to Senator Morgan's committee at the
capitol. Speaking of Mr.. Langleys
death Mr.. Hamlin said:
He was a most conscientious man
and a good citizen. This death brings
our number down to five. regardless of
all sorts Of stories that have been print
ed Of us-how we have lived and died
since we hung Guiteau, who when our
verdict was rendered invoked Gods
curse upon us. You know they have

years, but here | am, and four of my
colleagues Of that jury are still living
in Washington. believe.

Hamlin.

long and arduous one, but we came

In England no servant can get a really

Cost of Silagc,


We have from time TO time laid be-

corn in the silo, says Farmers Trib

put it in the silo for another 80 cents,
making the total cost Of the silage in
