KEEP YOVRCORNFIELDS F 1.1 and grass are regular robbers ol the foot of the corn, and should be exterminated at once, and your corntields kept perlecth dean from this period to the time ot the em's full maturity. Stir the surface ot vour cornfields in time ol drought, and h\ this means the enriching gasses that lloat in the air, will be absorbed, and the growth of the corn largely promoted. A HINT TO GARDENERS. —Perhaps there is nothing that irritates a lover of garden ing more than to have plants destroyed by insects after thev arc up and growing. An effectual*remedy will be found in apply ing plaister, (gypsum) sufficiently impreg nated with spirits of turpentine, to make it smell pretty strongly, freely to the plants when the dew is 011 them. The plaister ts conductive to the growth of the plant, and the odor of the turpentine will entire ly- rid them of every insect. MOWING PASTURES. —We have before spoken of the necessity of keeping the grass pastures from running up to seed and dying on the ground. As grass grows with more rapidity in the early part of the season than at a later period, it is diffl cult to keep it properly fed down, without putting on more stock than can be kept on the land after th eflash of feed is over, and vet if the grass goes to seed and lies on the ground, the after feed will be less in quantity and of poorer quality. The dif ticulty may be overcome by mowing the grass at the right time—before it has run to seed, at all events. This may be done on many pastures to good advantage, the hay obtained being of good quality for anv kind of stock ; and the pastures are left clean, start equally, and afford a growth of fresh after-feed. We have lately met with several fanners who have followed this practice for many years, and they agree with us in regard to its utility.— Albany Cultivator. TOMATOES ANTI BILIOUS. —The tomato is excellent for bilious affections, and for dyspepsia. When we were publishing the Yankee Fanner, there was an article in that paper on the healthful properties of the tomato, and the same paper con tained a seed catalogue, in which was the tomato. A person who had been severely afflicted with the dyspepsia for ten years, so that he could eat but very common dishes of food, procured some tomato seed, of which he had previously no knowledge ; and he raised some fruit and used it as food, and he had jellies and other prepara tions made in the fall, that he might use when the season for fresh tomatoes was over. By this simple remedy he was completely cured, in a few months, of an obstinate disease, that had bid defiance to the best medical skill for ten long years, for so they must have seemed to the un fortunate invalid. Here we also have the important bearing which a single fact gleaned from a useful paper, has upon a man's health, life and interest generally.— A". E. Farmer. £ H c humorist, A young lady being asked why she did not use the medicated soap, replied, that as to soap, she had got plenty of soft soap from her beau, and that always brought plenty of color into her cheeks. Joe Pentland says he knows a youth vho every time he wishes to get a glance of his sweetheart, has to "hollar fire" right under her window. In the alarm of the moment she plunges her head out of the window, and exclaims " where ?" when he poetically slaps himself on the bosom and exclaims " here,my llangilina." A pedlar overtook another of his tribe on the road, and thus accosted him : " Hallo, friend what do you carry ?" " Drugs and patent medicines," was the prompt reply. " Hood," said the other, " you may go ahead, I carry grave stones." EPITAPH. —The following appears on the tombstone of John Lang, who was killed by a falling timber while raising a meeting house : On the 25th of September, A big stick of timber Fell slam bang, And killed poor John Lang. Don't say you will become rich till you have asked your wife. Of all spendthrifts that nature ever invented, a thoughtless woman is the most so. AVo care not how much money a man may make, if his wife ■does not second his endeavors, he is just • s sure of dying poor as if he kept agro • < rv store and trusted everybody. An elderly lady, telling her age, re marked that she born the twenty-sec ond of April. Her husband, who was present, observed, 44 1 always thought you were born on the first of April." " Peo ple might well judge so," responded the matron, 44 in the choice I have made of a husband." llow apt men arc to condemn in others what they practice themselves without scruple!

[apl2-ly HARRIS, TURNER cf HALE'S Compound Syrup ofSpigelia or Vegetable Vermifuge, The most effectual, the safest, plrasantest and most convenient Worm Medicine ever offered to the public. THE SPIGELIA, says a work of highest authority, stands at the head of tkelist of .Inthelminties or IfVest J Vtduines. It is adapted to a wider range of cases, and to a greater variety of constitutions and states of the ! constitution, than any other. But prepared as it com monly is, in the form of tea, it can seidom be given to 1 children m sufficient doses In Harris, Turner & Ilale's Compound Syrup, it is so concentrated that the dose is very small, so combined as to ensure a purgative opera tion, and so palatable as to be taken, not only with ease, but with positive pleasure. The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of preparing it, are the result of a series of experiments continued for years Before offering it for sale, it was subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emi nent physicians, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who have recommended it in the highest terms, and still employ it in their practice In addition to this evidence of its mer its, we offer the follow ing, selected from a number of un solicited testimonials. Ist. A distinguished physician of Virginia, of much experience, writes of it thus : "I should have written before this, but felt dispose! first to try the efficacy of your V-rmifuge. 1 have used more than half the quantity received,and the experiment has been most successful, /really ta/irrf that it posst• set tulrar.t tga orrr any ctht r Vinaifugt I hart cttr used. Independent of the smallness of the dose, and the plea santness of the syrup (great advantages In dosing chil dren) the advantage of administering it under a variety ot circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there Is scarcely a condition of ih > system in which it may not be administered. Yours, dec." 2,1 A respectable physician of Lebanon county, in this state, writes " I have been in the habit of prescribing your Compound Sjrupof Spigelia for some time past, and have found it an excellent worm medicine, particularly for children.— Please forward per bearer 2 doz bottles. —Yours,Ar." 3d.—An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we had previously sold the syrup, w rites : "Since my return hoiuc, I find that your Syrup of Spi gelia has come into general use in this neighborhood. We have sold what tve had on hand, and it gave such satis faction that it is now called for evey day. You will please put us up 5 or 6 dozen in a small package, and send to the care of W. Anderson 4. Co., Richmond, as soon as possi ble, and forward the bill ner mail.—Yours, See." 4th. —A respectable merchant of Ohio, on n late visit to Philadelphia, stated, that some time since he had been ap plied to by a customer for a vial of 's Ver mifuge for his son. Not having the article asked for, he advised a trial of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound Syrup of Spigelia ami gave him a part of a bottU which was all that remained in the store. A day or two after this the gentleman returning to the store,expressed his surprise and delight at the effect of tin- Syrup, declaring it had expelled 200 worms and entirely relieved his son. The merchant added an expression of his great regret that lie had not had on hands a buttle of the Syrup at the time when his own little daughter died, as he confidently be lieved it would have saved her life sth—A gentleman of Hudson. N. Y., having sent a bot tle of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound Syrup off pl gelia, to a young friend who had tried in vain a great num ber of worm medicines, writes, that his friend was Imme diately relieved; the words of the patient were : "It took every worm out my body."

Unfortunately for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven tors and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming flooded with quack'preparations, that are made alone for profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In this state of things it is hard to tell which are, and which are not worth having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first tune he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole of them and buy no more, and inventors must only blame those of their number, (who ignorantly combine plain medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving." " We believe Dr. C. M. Jackson's ' Ifoofland's German Bitters* to bo a most excellent medicine, and one that should be highly popular in these days of Temperance ; for they are altogether Vegeiablt in their composition, without one drop of .Alcoholic Spirits in them. This roed icine is innoceni, but strengthening in its effects, and rich ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy." Jinoß M. M.NOAH said, in his " WEEKLY MESSEN GER," January 5,1850. " Dr. Hoofiand's German Bitttrs.—Ylere is a prepara tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times—the late Dr Christopher Wilbelm Iloolland, professor to the Uni versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia, and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of kvntbug, and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorsor may bo confidently relied on. He specially recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all complaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomafh, 'he liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia papers express their conviction of its excellency, and sev eral of the editors speak of its effects from their own indi vidual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel warrante-d, not only in callingthe attentionof our readers to the present proprietor's (Dr C. M Jackson's) prepara tion, but in recommending the article to all afflicted." MORE EVIDENCE. The " PHILADELPHIA SATCRDAY GAZETTE," the best family newspaper published in (lie United States. Tin editor says of Dr. Hoojland"s German Bitters: "H is seldom that we recommend what are termed Pat ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of eur I readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof land's German Hitters, we wish it to be distinctly under stood that wc are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are noised about for a brief period amftben forgotten after it has done its guilty race of mischief,but of a med icine long established, universally prized, and which has met tlfe hearty approval of the faculty itself." Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot it used in the practice of the regular Physi cians of Philadelphia than all other nostrums combined, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when pre sented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one car. doubt atler using it as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom ach nd liver; it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases — the eflect is immediate. 1 They can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. This medicine has attained that high charac ter which is necessary for all medicines to at tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a spu rious article at the risk of the lives of those who are innocently deceived. Look well to the marks of the genuine. They have the written signature of C. M. JACKSON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without which they are spurious.
