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. "'
But hear Irom tneir own lips and then judge of its

ter and Barber s lua. My condition was one of the
greatest misery; nr. face w as almost constantly ruri
ning with the luiil corruption that escaped from the
tubercles, by which it was almost completely cover
ed. Alter bemg ui ler tiie care ol my physicians for
near two moot is, without ilie least benefit, 1 wa-in
duced to make a Iris of Lindsey's Blood Searcher,
and the result was n,at in using one bottle and u half
I lound a perfect cuie, I may also say that 1 eagerly
tried whatever was recommended as a cure.
Such was mv wrett .eduess that I even resortevl lo
tiie dangeious expenmeut of pouring pure Creosote
on my lace and n* k, but all to no purpose—the
blood Seaicher was'he fir-f and only thing that did
rne any good. As a blood purifier it is unequalled; A.
I have great reason to be grateful that I ever made a
trial ol its healing mines, ami I confidently recom
mend it tounv who may suffer from 'J'elter, or any
other disease arising irom an impure stale of the
blood. JOHN DELEHUNT.

AM INTERESTIMG CASE OF SCROEU
LA cured by onebol'le of Lindsey's. 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. His eyes were running
a thin mattery huh, r almost constantly; which would
encrust his eyes be;.ond the power of opening them
until they were wa- ied and cleaned by snap and wa
ter. About the sa:: e time an absce-s formed just
below the groin, v. ich in due time broke and com
menced a discharge, which was found impossible to
dry up or heal—the bed would be very much stained
arid the clothing of !be child perfectly sickening in
a single nights time. Alter liavingjthe attention- ofa
physician lor so lor.g a time, and finding the child to
begetting worse, we determined to try the effects of
Mr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher. This was in la-t
March—and before two weeks had passed away the
change was manifes:, and I am happy to say That in
the use of a SINGLE BOTTLE our little boy has
been perfectly restored to health. We cannot speak
too highly ot this invaluable medicine. It should be
in every tamily—none should be without it. Asa pu
rifier ot blood it is beyond all price !

DR. J. M. LINIISEV, —Dear Sir: I have been using
your Improved Blood Searcher since some time la-t
summer, and I deem it to be a rnattei ol duty tobear
mv testimony to its invigorating blood restorative,
virtues. 1 have been for a number of years severe
ly troubled erysipelas and general debility, but since
1 put myself under the rnliuence of your Improved
Blood Searcher, 1 find a very decided improvement,
Indeed, my acquaintances frequently remark, that 1
look so "(at and hearty;" and I know of no other
cause than the use of your Improved Blood Searcher.
Judging from my own experience, I believe that this
i-oneot the most valuable medicines that woman
can use, especially thoe who fare or have entered
upon the decline of life (from 10 to 50 years of age).
I leel that it would have been above ingratitude on
my my pait to have withheld this te-timony, and in
thus consenting to appear a-a witness before the
public. I have been actuated solely with reference
to the voice ol conscience and duty. You are i
at liberty to make whatever use you may deem pro- !
per ol this statement. Yours, respectfully, j

Personally appeared before nie, one of the Justices
ot the Peace, in and for Blair county, George Kopp,
who, being duly sworn according to law, doth depose
and -ay: Two years ago I ua> afflicted with pain
between tlie shoulders, almo-t con-tant cough, loss
ot appetite, chill-, nightsweat-, and very subject to
take colds; I, at length, became so weak that I could
hardly walk; my phy-ician done me no good. Some
time last fall, 1 commenced taking Lindsey's im
proved blood-searcher, and bv the use of two bottles
was perfectly cured. I feel, to recommend it to all
who suffer from Liver diseases, general debility, loss
ot appetite, and other diseases arising from impurity
of the blood. 1 would not like to do without it
1 consider it an excellent family medicine.

! A DESPERATE CASE OF AGUE AMD
■ DYSPEPSIA, entirely cured by the use of Lindspy's
I "Improved Blood-Searcher."
Blair County, ss —personally appeared before me,
j 'he subscriber, one of the Justices of the Peace, in
and for said county, John Moran, who, being duly
-'•* orn according to law, doth r/epoe ami say, that
Hi the spring of IS.l'i, I was a vietim to that worst ot
j dyspepsia, and that in its worst iorm. My
appetite vvas completely gone, and when, in order to
preserve life, ] would force myself to swallow a
mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately
j ioath if, arid cast it forth with the spittle. J had
a.-o >een su.,ering with the ague; each attack lasting
about rune months out of the twelve, so that, with
t ie ague and dyspepsia, 1 was reduced as 1 thought
eyoni recovery; I thought I must die, my physician
could do me no good. Such was my condition, when
Mr. Lindsey supplied me with a bottle of his im
provpf blood-wearchpr, assuring jj vvould work a
cure. 1 commenced its use but w,t h little confidence,
, but, in one week's time-so great vtaw its reston
i hve powers—l found my appetite 1o return, my,
stomach received a new tor K e, so that 1 could eat
; anything without the slightest Wo, • eni.nce, anh
before its healing touch the ague fled ** from a
; charm; nor have 1 been troubled with ,ue or dv
j pep.-.a Since. I enjoy a better state of l7eaf.'h than
I had done (or fifteen yearn before; 1 am strong and
hearty, and 1 leel confident that, under the b|e- M ,i> .
j of God, I owe all to the invaluable Improved
1 . earcher. I believe ,t „ot to be only a sure remedy
lor ague, but an inlallible prevtulivr, and, as such i
won d recommend it to all whose business, bat it* or
residence-, expose tbem to this dreadful pe-t t,fh u .
"yspepsu cannot stay where the Impi OV
eil Ulooi. Siearcber is properly used. 1 feel it my do
