2lgricultural Department. CHINESE AGRICULTURE- The Agricultural products of the Chinese Empire, are not by any means confined to the articles usually exported to foreign countries viz: Tea and Rice. The almost entire ab sence of expense bestowed upon irrigation, aflord ample oppoitunity to the farmer, Ibr an extended cultivation of the soil. The difference in temperature between the Northern and Southern sections of the country, necessarily gives Superior advantages to the milder clime, and consequently greater attention is bestowed in the South upon the various min utia* of Agricultural pursuits. The farms, im mense in extent, are, unlike in other countries, separated by canals in lieu of fences, thus aff ording water to the earth. These chan nels are also used for the conveyance of the farm produce to market, and in a country void of streams ofanv magnitude, these arti ficial courses are of immense value to the popu lation. The ingenuity manifested bv 'he Celestials in the culture and preparation of Tea, has never been excelled or even approached by any other country. The peculiarity of the soil may effect the taste and Worth of this delightful beverage, but it has long since been ascertained, that a peculiar secret in the preparation oI the article, is the true cause of the pleasing stimulating pro perties ofthe herb. Attempts have heen ire rjuently made to transplant if, by the use of sealed glass cases, and even in our own coun try, the plant has been introduced, but without sufficient success to warrant a continuation ol the experiment. Among the great variety ol vegetable pro- j ductions cultivated in China, we find the Sugar Cane, sweet potatoes, cotton, wheat, grapes, ginger, oranges and many other important ar ticles, reserved almost entirely for home con sumption. The care bestowed upon the private gardens in China has always been a matter of remark, and many ofthe plants which please the sight and smell of our own countrymen claim the Oriental kingdom as their birthplace. An extended and well written treatise on the 1 modus operandi ofC.'hinese farming and gard ening would prove invaluable as an Agricul tural and Scieutific reference, and we are somewhat surprised that travelers and wri ters have not paid more attention to the ■abject. CARE OF COLTS TMOI'GH THE WINTER. It was formerly almost universally the prac tice and no doubt is ye! to some extent for far- i mers to think that a colt could be wintered al- ! most anyhow —i. e. very? cheap —by being turned out in the field with a privilege ol the north side of a bay stack, taking his chance with a lot of cattle, or, perchance allowed to lie in the barnyard with little or no shelter, and , with less care—feeding only on the coarsest fodder, and not any grain, as the idea was then j prevalent that grain wa> not good for colts. Well, now, how doe this theory seem when ; weighed with even a few grains of common i sense? Does it look at all reasonable that you would get a better horse by thus inhumanly abusing and half starving the poor crea'ure while thus in his "tender years?" No brother farmers, this is not the way to raise good bour ses ; but just putjthem in a warm stable and a reasonable amount ot 'grain daily, with, plenty of good substantial food, and also a regular diur nal dose of the "card," and my word for it you will find it will pay as well as the same care be stowed upon any other species of stock. In deed a colt once stunted bv poor keeping dm u:g the first vear or two of his life, rarely recovers from its effects—or, at least, does not make so much of a horse as he otherwise would. It would be no recommendation to ine for a man to tell me about his horse that he had not had any grain while young—on the contrary it would go far to denote that he had not received suitable food and care to bring all his parts to perfection. Mv own course of feeding for yearlings has been once a day, a feed of two quarts of oats and plenty of clean, bright oat straw, and once a day half a peck of carrots, with a good (odder of hay—in a warm stable with plenty of litter ing.— Homestead. SIIE El'. The proper management ofshpep is a matter of very great importance to the farmer. He mav procure the best breeds, and yet a bad lo- I cation and bad management may soon destroy ' them. They require high, dry, upland, and soft water, the wool becomes coarse, thespnght liness ot the animal is lost, disease follows, and it dwindles down into a mere apology for a sheep—and a poor apology too. Lime soils, and lime water are injurious to thern, a<, by ab sorbing or destroying the oil in the wool, it ren ders the fibre harsh and brittle. The plants too, for such soil, are strongly im pregnated with lime, and water hard, which soon produces roughness and disease ofihe skin. Over abundance of food, is injurious to them, j It will increase the quality, length and bulk of wool, but injure the quality. Rutabagas, in large quantities will increase 'he weight of the body but injure the texture of the wool. Let "the land on which they are kept be high and dry, and destitute as far as possible of lime, j liberally supplied with sulphur, the grass short ' and sweet, and the flocks will amply repay.— j Ohio Former. Grapes as House Hants. Somebody has recommended to cultivate dwarf grape-vines as parlor window plants; and the suggestion strikes us favorably. There are certain utilitarians who C3n not consent to grow anything which does not furnish food for the stomach, or money for the pocket ; as for "cluttering up" their rooms with geraniums, roses and lilies, that is all folly ! Now, let such persons try a grape vine at their south window. Hant in a large pot or neatly painted box, and train the vines on wires stretched across (he window-frame. We can conceive that such a plant would satisfy the sense of beauty utility at the same time, and that in a high degree. It would be the finest ornament of the ; house and 8 for the fruit, why certainly that would be ap preciated. One often regrets saying too much, but sel dom of saying too little.

THE WONDER OF THE AGE! JJ. M. LINSF.Y'S GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVERY! j | Which is a purely vegetable Preparation, for the pu- : | rilying of blood, giving vigor to the Liver, stomach | and bowels, and expelling Irorr. the system all rnor j bid matter, arid substituting in its stead a healthful I activity through ail the functions of life. HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED! In the iall oi Jfiol a daughter of ,Vlr. Lindsey was suffering iiorri a malignant attack ofCancrurii Oris: ; (Canker oi the mouth.) She had previously been j prostrated by the attacks of Dysentary, lnflamaf ion j oi the lungs and Hectic Fever, successively, which ; resulted in the above named disease in its worst j form. Her condition was most deplorable— her month I and cheek were literally rotten—the attending phy sician pronounced the case a hopeless one. Ev.rry thing indicated a speedy and horrible death—the death of rotting out of life ! At this crilu-ul junc ture Mr. Lindsey prepared a compound tor the pur- ! pose ol alleviating, possible, the pains of the little j sufferer. She was made to use it freely, and in a ! short time to his mo-t delightful astonishment, there I was a very perceptible change for the better. The month began to put on a bright and healthy appear- | anee—the foul breath became sweet —the appetite ! was restored, and the child seemed to partake of a i new and iresh life. Hope a< inspired, and the use of the compound! was faithfully continued, the result of which, with ! the blessing oi God, was her complete restoration. I She is now perfectly healthy! Eiom this circum stance, Mr. Lindsey was led to prepare with grea'er | care and exactness, what had so astonishingly cured ' his child, and continued his experimental efforts un- j til he succeeded in bringing to perfection ins ' Great Remfty for UtooU Impurity— since which time j its effects have been almost miraculous. Hundreds ! upon hundreds, by it, have been snatched Irom an ' untimely grave and restored to the sweets of health | and the endearment of friends, The young ami old ! have tested it. saving powers and sing aloml its vir tues. Say they-'-after using Lindsey's Improved! Blood Searcher, we felt as if a new lite was stirring j our veins, arid under God we owe to it more than 1 words can express.

Blood Searcher. 1 bis ceitifier-itiat about one vear ao uur little son aged four years, was—most sorely afflicted with what ihe physician- pronounced to be a .scrofula, and was treated accordingly lor nearly a year, but without the benefit.
