Raising Melons.
Farmers ought more gcnerallythan tht,y
do to cutivate waterwelons. They are
favorite fruit with most prsons,esp:ciali
children, are healthy, and can be rais_al
over a wide-extent of latitude. A sweet

the spring or the cellar. is as grateful .
dessert as 'se can set before a friend in
hot August day. Amongst the most plev
ant 'recollections of my . boyhood are the
melons and other frtuts that my father
used to raise on . the old 1:ral. In latter
life when I was called upon to to, l ke eho;c.-
of and occupation, the thought that these
and other luxuries properly belong to th,
farm, and might be m'ne whh a little la
bor did much to influened inSr choice.
For several years past I have succe do
in raising a supply of good unions
family use. in the following manner; I se
lect a high, and dry pars 01 g‘oaatt
to the south, plow and harrow well, lay out
the rows seven or eight feet apart; put
from one-half peck to a peck of mannze
each hill, dampen it with a heavy hoe or
mattock, dig up the staab,ut th,, hill tel.
or twelve inches deep and two or three
feet over, mixing the manure thoughly
with the soil. I raise the hills three u.
four inches high, put six or e'ght seed
3;llill,!cultivate m.. 41 with the hoe, aro,
when the plants begin to run, thin to tw
plants to .a hill. ; •
The striped bug seldom mdests vine
manured in this way. Four years ago ;
bad lin opportunity of obseving the great
difference in the quality of witeraielen,
grown on different soils. They were plan.
ted partly on the point of a hill, and partly
on a level on the foot of the hill, when
the soil was deep, rich, and damp. Ou
the side of the hill the vines were thin, the
fruit well exposed to the sun, and the fruit
was the finest quality; the rinds being thin,
the flesh deep-colored, crisp and thin.
The vines on the low grounds were very
thick with long leaf stalks shading the
melons, which were of :Every poor quality.
the rinds being thick, the flesh pale, tough
and insipid. As the whole p•itch was
planted with the same seed, on the same
day, and received similar culture, the dif
ferpmeinivality was evidently. owing tc
the difference in soil and situation.—Ger

Shallow Drains are Better than None.
While we are firm b,livers in the econ
omy and effectiveness of deep drains, even
in heavy Clay soils, we have seen e_loug':
to convince us th tt those, who, frant tb
lack of means or time, or en account of an
insufficient outlet find deep draining im
practicable, will stilt find it to their mate-•
rial advantage to make shallow (hairs
wherever the necessity for drainage is ap
parent. The first requirement of all is to
get rid of the water thatstands on the sur
face of the sail, •fir this brings absolute
death to all vegetation. A simple plow
furrow to remove the water that accumu
lates in the depression of the surface, will
often produce more beneficial effect than
the same amount of labor applied in • any
other way. Next to surface water corneae
sort of surface springinesss, a superficial
ooze, or. water retained near the surface by
a dense hardpan subsoil. Frequently this
water collects in basin's of the subsoil, and
a shallow underdrain will effect its remo
val.
If a farmer does not feel justified in
thoroughly draining any field that is to
wet, he may at least be able to lay a few
lines, two or three feet deep running
through the worst spots in the field, with
out much reference to its general cunibr
nuirioo, and thus at least remove the most
evident source of his inconvenience and
less.
Let it be distinctly understood that
we do not recommend this practice fix
adoption in any case where it is practica.
ble to do anything more ; but there is no
reoson why a farmer should suffer year af
ter year from annoyance that is in his
power to lesson, because his circumstanc:s
will not allow him to entirely remove it;
occasionally a 'large tract of land laying on
the slope of a hill, or at its foot, is made
top wet for profitable cultivation by an un
derground spring, through which a water
stratum in the higher lands finds vent. In
such cases by digging straight into the hill
—cutting some distance into the water
seam—the flow may be induced to seek the
artificial outlet; and in such a case even a
shallow surface drain may carry the water
away without allowing an opportunity to
do harm.—Anzericun 4j.
Care of Boots and Shoes.
The first. thing to be done with any pair
df new shoes for farm use, is to" set each
one on a platter, or au old dinner plate,
and pour on boiled linseed Gil sufficent to
fill the vessel up to the upper elge of the
sofas. Allow the leather to absorb as much
oil ati it will for eight hours. Linseed oil
should not be applied to the upper leather,
as it will soon become dry, rendering the
leather hard and tough. But ir the soles
he saturated with this oil, it will exclude
dampness, and enlarge the pegs, so that
the soles will never get loose from the up
per leather.
If the soles be sewed, the oil willpreser
we the thread from rotting. We wet the
upper leather thoroughly when the boots
or shoes are to be pat on the feet, so that
those parts which are tight may give a
trifle, and thus adapt the form to the foot
far more stisfactorily than when the up
per leather is no wet. Keep them on the
feet until nearly 'dry. Then give the up
per leather a thorough greasingivith equal
parts of lard and tallow, or tallow and
neat's foot oil.
If shoes be treated in this manner, and
a row around-headed shoe nails- be driv
ep around the edge of the soles, they will
wear like copper, and always sit easy to
the feet: Boots and shoes should be tr..lat
ed as suggested, and worn a little several
months before they are put on for daily
service. This is the true way to save shoe
money. _ _
ALL efforts to make kay by gaslight
have failed; but it is discovered that wild
pats can be sown under its chce fa'. rays.

THE STATE JOURNAL.
THE WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL
Was established at Harrisburg to supply a want
long felt in all parts of the State, No effort will be
spared to snake it an acceptable weekly visitor to
toe intelligent families of Pennsylvania. It will
be devoted to Independent Journalism, will defend
and advocate the rights and interests of the people
and will assist every effort to advance the religious
educational, moral and social condition of humani
ty. So long as the Republican psrty continues to
be, as it now is, snore than any other political or
ganization, the enactor and defender of liberal and
impartial laws, the protector of American Labor,
the promotor of American 31anufactures, and the
leader in all great reforms, the Journal will advo
eate its principles and defend its policies.
The mining and manufacturing interests of the
State, and the rights of the laboring men employed
therein, shall always find favor in these columns.
National and State measures proposed and enacted

news, political, commercial, agricultural and social
from all parts of the world, will be published
weekly.

the session will be reported fully and promptly, so
that the readers of the Journal may know what is
transpiring at the State Capital. The Weekly
Journal, like the Daily, is a first-class newspaper,
thoroughly sound in politics, education, temperance
and religion. It is a good agricultural paper, a
good eancational paper, a good temperance paper,
a good religious paper, a good fancily newspaper.

the Legislature, and composed of gentlemen of am.

T HE KIDNEYS
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the lion, surrounded by fat, and con
sisting of three parts, fix: the Anterior, the In
terior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: thd` Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack. it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
Goer, on RHIMMATIS3I.—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions.
Tue GRAVEL.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain ; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
DROPSY is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, accordintr
to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarea ; when of the
abdomen, Ascites when of the chest, Ilydrothorax.
Taaereevr.—llelmbold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys.
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gout
affections. Under this head we bare - arranged
Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges
of water; Strangury, or stopping of water; Demo
turia, or bloody urine ; Gout and Rheumatism of
the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was always
highly recommend.° by the late Dr. Physick, iu
these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion,
and excites the absorbents into healty exercise by
whioh the watery or calcareous depositions, and
all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in
flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men,
women and children. Directions for nee and diet
accompany.
PHILADELPHIA, Ps., Feb. 25, 1867.
H. T. HELNISOLD, Druggist:
Dear Sir:—l have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experi
encing little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consqlted with my family physician in
regaril to using your Extract &mho.
I did this because I bad used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and, some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no reme
dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
A. you advertised that it was composed of !litchi,
eubebe and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice after an examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my ease at
that %tsue, but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, Id therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect core,
knowing then it would be of greater value to you.
and more satisfactory to me. . .
I am now able to report that IS ours is effected
after using the remedy for dive months.
I bare not used any now for three month., and
fell as well in all respects. as I ever did.
Your Mucha being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—a nice tonic and invigorator of II e
system. Ido not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.
