WEEDS IN GARDENS.
Nothing reduces the current expenses of
a family for the outlay more , than a well
managed kitchen-garden ; but the general
complaint with many is the labor of keeping
it clean—the constant fight with weeds.
Some are of opinion that a garden of a
quarter of an acre in extent will grow more
weeds than ten acres of farm land, and
there is good ground for the belief accord' ,
ing to the way some are managed. A few
weeds, allowed, to ripen their seeds, will
produce an abundant crop next year; and
thug, year after year, the earth becomes
filled with them, till the soil of a garden
consists of three main ingredients—namely,
a soil naturally; a large amount of ma
nure, artificially; and an immense supply
of foul weeds, spontaneously,
The question natuplly arises, is .it not
practicable to clear out entirely and totally
the last of the three ? Are weeds a neces
sity? If a garden contains a hundred
thousand of them, and ninety-nine thou
sand are killed by a hoe, why not the re
maining thousand? If nine hundred and
ninety of this thousand, why not the re
maining ten ? The soil of a garden may
be completely purified of weeds and their
seeds, greatly reducing the labor of keep
ing it in order, and largely contributing to
a fine growth of the, crops. It is much
easier to keep a garden, perfectly clean
than to be engaged in a constant warfare
with the weeds. The . labor is far less.
The reason that it is not done is the want
of care and attention. Nearly all are satisfied
if the garden is nearly clean. This is the
origin of all the trouble—namely, leaving a
few weeds to seed the whole ground. The
remedy is,.begin now, eradicate everything
that may have shown its head, ands'o con
tinue the examination every week. One
morning every week should be set apart for
this special purpose. Unless something of
this kind is adopted, the thing will certainly
be neglected. And after they are out, con
inue the process to keep them out. It is
easier to spend half an hour in a morning
once a week in this way,-and have good
crops, than to spend three days in each
"eek fighting the intruders, and, as .a con
sequence, getting bad crops.— Scottish Far

down and set the hive over

firmly on the pole, it is expedient to shake
it a little, to make them leave it for the
hive. We have tried this plan for years,
and have seldom failed in bringing them
down."
REMEDY FOR SCRATCHES. — In answer to
the query for s remedy for scratches, I will
give one which I have used for thirty-five
years with complete success, having never
failed in one instance :—Take white pine
pitch, rosin, beeswax and honey, one ounce
each, fresh lard, one-half pound, melt well
together over a slow fire, then add one-half
an ounce sulphate copper (verdigris) stir
till it is quite thick, so the parts may not
settle and separate. This makes an excel
lent application for harness galls and cuts
and sores of all kinds, on horses and cattle.

I have known Hoofland's German Bitters favorably
for, a number of years. I have used them in my own
family, and have been so pleased with their effects
that I was Induced to recommend them to many others,.
and know that they have operated in a strikingly
beneficial manner. I take great pleasure in thus pub
licly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention
of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are
recommended to these Bitters, knowing from experi7
ence that my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
this more cheerfully as Hoofland's Bitters is intended
to benefit the Afflicted, and is "not a rum drink."
Yours truly, LEVI G. BECK..,

Although notdisposed to favor orrecommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of 'their in kre
clients and effects, I yetknow of no sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
hiinself to.have received from any simple prop.axations
in the hive that heauay thus contribute to the benefit
of 'others.
I do this more readily in regard to Hool!and's Ger
man Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jack-on, of this
city, because I was prejudiced against them for many
years, under the impression that they wei u chiefly an
alcoholic mixture. lam indebted to my friend, Robt.
Shoemaker, Esq.. for the removal of this prejudice by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering. from great and long continued "debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning
of the present year, was followed by evident relief,
and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and had
almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the use of them.

have heard from them the most flattering testimonials

believe it to be a tonic that cannot be surpassed.

several years at No. 1530 Arch street. A new locality
has been selected, not only because it is more central
in its relations to the most densely populated portions
of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un
usually large and airy, and admirably adapted to the
purpose to which they - are designed. - • - • •

needless-to speak of its advantages. To otlaers,-who

first issue the sale will continue upon a new issue in
which the privilege of convertibility will not occur at
so early a date as in this now on the market.
In order that citizens of every town and sections in

Bankers throughout the country have generally
agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers
