Farmers' Column. $ Scientific Farming- To some it night appear an endless task to ; learn to keep their farm in order, and then to practice scientific farming, especially as so many wants are to be supplied, and some ol them, like soda and magnesia, >o difficult to obtain. — Not at all. Nature, in her economy, takes bet- j tercareofus than we do of ourselves. Is a j wound inflicted on our bodies f Nature sets her- | self busily at work to heal it. So in farming. The poor, slovenly farmer, not only wounds his Irem, but actually skins it. He takes its very life blood, and then requires it to produce. He requires brick, but furnishes nostraw. Nature, like a faithful servant, labors to restore its fertil- ' itv, and will do so ifshe can have time and rest, j Alter a farm is exhausted ol all the feitile ingre dients, give it res', and Nature will restore them. In her great laboratory she will com pound the ingredients, and silica, phosphates, sulphates, potash, magnesia, soda and salt will all be restored in their proper proportions. It will take a long ti ne, and the help of a good farmer wi'l gr-atly expediate it. To aid nature in this woik is the business of a good farmer. This c.m t>e don-- by a rotation of crops. Some crops require a large amount of silica, and but little potash. Such crops will exhaust the silica but take little or none of the potash. This soil will then be too poor to produce this crop ; but as potatoes require potash, and but little silica, it is in fine order for a crop of potatoes. Put on a few crops of potatoes, and they will ex haust the potash, but take little or r.o silica. Nature, in the meantime, is restoring the silica, and the ciop using none, so that the soil will soon be ready for the first crop again. If the silicates and potash are both exhausted, put on clover, which draws on the lime and sulphates, but takes little of the siiica and potash. By thus rotating crops, land may be constantly used and still not be exhausted. With this princi ple in view, corn should never follow buckwheat asthpcorn will be diminished at least one-lburth. Clover should follow barley wheat follow clo ver—potatoes and other crops, not requiring sil ica and phosphates, follow wheat, and so on, always having a crop requiring different con stituents to follow the preceding.— Ohio Fanner. WINTER PLOUGHING- There are many periods during winter, when, from the mildness of the weather ploughing may be done. Therefore, it you have any stiff, clayey land, that you desire to put in crops next spring you should seize all such favorable seasons to get it broke up. By exposure to frosts when broken up, such lands, if ploughed in the rig/it state become greatly improved, and lose much ot their tenaci ty of character, are more easily cultivated, expensive to till, besides being rendered better adapted to the production of crops. But this amelioration in texture can only be expected, when the soil, at the time of its being ploughed is neither too wet nor too drv. All, especially strong loams and clays, should be ploughed in the medium state between wet and dry, or when they are comparatively mellow, slightly moist, and least cohesive. When clayey soils are perfectly dry, they are so hard and lebellinus, as to he unconquerable bv the plough ; and when decidedly wet, they are so sitckv and elastic, as to be workable by ploughing only into masses of plaster, with innu merable receptacles tor water, utterly incapable ofsubsequent pulverization, and certain to settle into hard clods, on which no tarm crop can grow. The furrows should be made to lap at an an gle of a bout 45 rteg. so as to expose the greatest surface to the action of th" frost. Thus, if you plough (> inches deep, the furrow should lie S in ches, then the furrow should he 15 inches wide. Tn the spring when the ground is dry enough to bear the team, without danger of being injured by poaching, it should be rolled and then harrowed with *a heavy two or three-horse harrow, until the soil be as thoroughly pulver ized, as from its nature it is susceptible. We go in for thorough tilth ; lor as perfect sub division of the particles of soil as possible, and deep ploughing, having no fears about a few inches of "poison-till." TO MIKE YELLOW BETTER IX MIMER. But in the yolk of eggs just before the butler comes, near the termination cl the churning. 1 This has been repeatedly tried, and it makes j very hue sweet butter. It is kept by many as 1 a secret but ils great value requires publicity. Dr Dadd gives the following directions : Coloring Winter Butter. —As butter made in winter is oenerailv pale or white, and its richness at the same time, inferior to that which is made during the summer months, the idea of excellence has been associated with the yellow I color. Means are therefore employed by those who prepare and sell butter, to impart to it the yellow color, where that is naturally wanting. The substances mostly employed in England and Scotland are the root of the carrot and the • flowers ol the mai igold.—The juice of either; of these is expressed and passed through a linen ! cloth. A small quantity of it, [and the propor tion necessary i- soon learn, d t y experience) is diluted with a little cream, at.d this mixture is added to the rest of the tieain when it en- j t-f-s the churn. So little of this coloring natter unites with the butter, that it never communi cates to it anv peculiar taste.

Judging from my own experience, I believe that this is one of the most valuable medicines that woman can use, especially those who Tare or have entered upon the decline of life (from 40 to .70 years ofagc).

Some time last fall, i commenced taking Lindsey's im proved blood-searcher, and by 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.

A DESPERATE CASE OF AGUE AM) l)vsn:psiA, entirely cured by the ue of Lindsey's ♦'lmproved Blood-Searcher." Blair County, M.— Personally appeared before me, the subscriber, one of the Justices of the Peace, in and for said county, John Moran, who. being duly sworn according; to law, doth depose and say, thai in tle spring of 38-70, I was a victim lothat wms of diseases—dyspepsia, arid that in its worst form. My appstite wa- completely gone, and when, in order to preserve life, ] would force myself to swallow a mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately loath it, and cast it forth with the spittle, i had also been suffering with the ague; each attack lasting about nine months out of the twelve, so that, with tfie ague and dyspepsia, 1 was reduced as 1 thought beyond recovery; I thought 1 must die, my physician could do me no good. Such was my condition, when Mr. Lindsey supplied me with a bottle of hi# im proved tilood-searcher, assuring me it would work a cure. I commenced its use but with little confidence, but, in one week's time—so great was its restoia tive powers—l found my appetite to return, my, stomach received a new tone, so that 1 could eat anything without the slightest inconvenience, anb before its healing touch the ague fled as from a charm; nor have I been troubled with ague or dys pepsia since. I enjoy a better state of health than i bad done for fifteen years before; 1 am strong and hearty, and I feel confident that, under the blessing of God, 1 owe all to the invaluable Improved Blood- Searcher. I believe it not to be only a sure remedy for ague, but an infallible preventive, and, as such, I would recommend it to all whose business, hat its, or resdience.-, expose them to this dreadful pe-t ol hu manity. Dyspepsia cannot stay where the Improv ed Blood-Searcher is properly used. I feel it my du ty to point ail who suffer, to this all-healitu medi cine. (signer!.)
