FSEFI L FACTS.
Whatever will produce mould —that is, water J
carbon, and salts—forms manure.
The great difference in the action of man
ures depends on the difference of salts they cm
tain.
Mould is active iri prop ntion a* it is moie
or less dissolved ' v water.
~ Some substances render mould easily uissoiv
ible in water, and mould, being valuable in pro
portion to the ease with which it is dissolved,
whatever enables it to/diss rive maybe added
to it, and will increase its value. These sub
stances are in the alkalies and alkaline earths.
* The property of producing a substance u hich
makes mould soluble depends on the nitrogen
of the manure. This nitrogen, in the process
of the decay of animal and vegetable matter, be-
comes ammonia.
A |x>und of nitrogen makes two an da half
pounds of volatile s/tli, and each pound of vola
tile salt, or am nonia, is equal to a bridiel ot
wheat.
The constituents of plants are, oxygen, hy
drogen, nitrogen, and chlorine gasses, line, clay,
magnesia, iron, mangan-se, and silex. potash
and sola, phosphorus, sulphur, and carbon.—
The first lour are called gasses ; the following
six are called eaiths and metals ; the last three
are called combustibles.
When plants decay tliey return to the earth
the above elements, an 1 form what is called
mould or natural manure.
Mould is of two-kinds, soluble and insolvable.
It is valuable in proportion as it is soluble.
Artificial manure is the sails, or mixture of
natural manure and the salts.
The salts contain the sulphur, phosphorus,
and carbon, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid,
and carbonic acid, and the chlorine as muriatic
ecid.
Potash and grease make soft sap.
Soda and grease make hard soap-
Ammonia and oil make what is called vola
tile liniment.
Oxygen ar .i hydrogen gas, combined in the
proportion ol eight parts oxygen and one of hy
drogen, forms u aler.
Hydrogen and nitrogen, combined in tm
proportion of foiirteen parts nitrogen to three of
hydrogen form volatile sait ot ammonia.
Oxvgen combined with carbon, in propor
tion of two of oxygen to one of carbon, f>rms
carbonic acid.
Oxygen and sulphur, combined in the propor- [
tion of twenty-lour parts oxygen to sixteen of j
aulphtir, form sulphuric aciJ.
Five parts oxvg-n to one ot phosphorus form 1
phosphoric acid.
Oxygen and hydiogen plants exist in just
the proportion to form water.
Decay'is slow combustion, and gives the same
Products as fire. It is the union of the oxygen
of the air with the carbon of plants.— OMo Fir

Spring Thickens
Are alwavs in active demand from May to
September, in the vicinity ol ail our cities, and
the larger towns. O! course they are profita
ble to the farmers, an i small landholders and
cottagers, who breed them. This is a good
month to set the hens, and hatch them out.
For this purpose, a warm hen-house, and coops
in sunnv places, are required. Let the eggs be
kept in a proper temperature, til! tlie hen is
readv to set on the n. Thirteen is the proper
number for a clutch of chickens. When hatch
ed. if milk curds can be had, this is their best
food. If no!, soaked bp ad for the first few
days, and after that, Indian meal well cooked,
iike mush f>r your own table. Raw meal, wet
op in the uual way, i< harsh and scourging for
their deiicafe stomachs. When a few week?
old, chopped cabbage, sives, and other tendei
vegetables, are to he added, and sour milk i
the very test drink they can have.
41 We would, by ail means, entrust the carlv
chickens to woman's care. She seems to poss
ess the necessary instinct—worth ail the toys!
and men in the country. We have known aj
Scotch, Dutch, or Irish washerwoman's cottage
surrounded by a close wall, alive with early
chickens, when the gentleman's ar>d farmer's
premises would scarce supply a fowl for the j
table before September.
" Don't keep the"big" breeds < >r "Spring chick
ens" either. A CIOSP, compact, early matured
fowl is the thing lor this puipose. Inmost
large towns a [dump, fat chick the si/v of a
quail, will sell far as much in May or J one, as
a full grown one wiil in October ; and if they
t'mlv know you have them, the tavern-keepers
and peddlers will be after them every day in
the week. To the habit these laifir people
hive of confining them in close, filthy coops
for days together, we enter our protest. It :
poisons and defiles the of the flesh. It
makes them poor. Exercise, good air and :
plenty of good food tiiev should have, tiil they I
are wanted for the table ; and every one who
keeps them on hand foi immediate use, should
be well provided with yards, and roosting
accommodation. To make chickens edib'y per
fect they should come on the table plump, juicy,
and full of their own natural gravy. "Plump
as a partridge," is the term which should be
truthfully applied to the early chickens ; and if
they be not so, half their excellence is lost,
while, if in perfection of flesh, they are a posi
tive luxury.
Advantages of Rotation in Crops.
1. Each crop exhausts the soil of certain eie_ j
ments. Continuing the same crop for many j
years consumes these elements. Ihe soil will
not produce that crop longer. Another crop
consumes another order of elements, and will
flourish when the firs?will not grow.
2. Each plant, while growing, throws off cer
tain matters which are not favorable to the
growth of successive crops of the same plant
Plants in this respect are somewhat like ani
! mals, which always avoid their own excrements,
i Now other plants may use these matters.—
I Hence a rolaliou is profitable, because one crop
I mar take op what another throws off.
3. Certain crops have certain insects that
prey on them. The cultivation of the same
' ci•..•{> for many years, favors the multiplication
lof these insects. Change the crop, and you
will diminish or destroy them.
: 4-. Various ciops furnish various kinds of
manures, which are found profitable on a farm,
j He v. ho wants this vaiiety will find a rotation
; the simplest arid easiest way to secure it.
j 5. A rotation in crops results in some great
j social advantages. Among these are the fol-
I lowing. A community which pursues a good
' rotation will be more independent of foreign
| supplies. It will pass through a season of
scarcity with less suffering. Its farmers will
jbe more intelligent, because their experience
will he more varied. Their prosperity, too,
will he more equatl, as it will not depend on
the tips and downs of a single crop. —O. h firmer.

DO THEY MISS ME AT HOME?
Do they miss me at home, do They miss me I
Twould be an assurance most dear.
To know that this moment some loved one,
Was saying, "I wish you were here.'*
To feei that the group round the tiresid-,
Were thinking of me as 1 roam ;
Oh ! yes ! twould be joy without measure,
To know that they miss me at home.
When twilight approaches the sea-on,
That ever is sacred to sor.g,
Does some one repeat my name over,
And sigh that 1 tarry so long?
And is there* chord in the music
That's missed when my voice is away,
,A chord in each heart that awakens
Regret at my wearisom stay ?
Do ihey place me a chair near the table.
When evening's h->me pleasures draw nigh
And the candles are lit in the parlor,
Arid stars in the calm azure sky ?
And when the good nigh's ate repeated,
A d all lay them down to th'ir sleep,
Do they think of the absent, and waft me,
A whimpered good r.igfcl while they weep ?
Do they mi=s me at home, do they miss me,
At morning, at noon and at night,
And lingers one gloomy shade round thern
That only my presence can light?
Are joys less invitingly welcome,
And pleasures less hale than before.

A VERITABLE SNAKE STORY-
An officer of the army, who served with dis
inction in the Florida war, was and still is .
n the habit of delighting; the mess table with I
is retr. in scene s of scenes which occnred there.
)n a recent occasion, when snakes, alligators,
nd other objects o! the reptile genus, which
lourish so extensively in that garden of the
vorld, became the subject of conversation, he j
elated a circumstance apropos to snakes, which i
lappenrd to himself. One day, said he, 1
houlder-d my gnn, and went in permit of
;ame. In passing through a swamp I saw
omething a few fi-,-t ahead of me, lying on the j
ground, which had evt ry appearance of a log,
t being about forty feet in length, and about a
foot in dtam-t-r. So positive was I that it was
nothing but a log, that I paid no attention to it;
the fact is, I would have >\vorn before a court
of Justice that it was a 1 >_•, and nothing else.
You see I hvi never ii -ar I of snakes growing to
such a huge dimension, and tin* fact i, never
should have believed it it fr■: i. Weil, he con
tinued between me and the S-ig. as 1 took it to ]
be, il .-re was a miry place which it was necess
ary f">r me to avoid. I therefore placed the

what do you suppose ?
"A boa co stridor,"said o:
"No."
"An Anaconda."
"What con; I it have bren?"* enquired a

SERIOUS UrtnuMic AT TIIE UNIVERSITY OF J
VIRGINIA.—Tiie Baltimore Pa (riot says ;—A j
letter received in this city from the University ;
of Virginia, <i I d March 18th, stales thai a very j
serious and fa' a I epidemic, somewhat similar to ;
typhoid lev< r, h,is been prevailing fearfully at
that institution far some weeks past. Quite a
number of tiie students have already died, and
many are still sick. Great alarm prevails j
amongst those remaining. A special meeting of
the Board of Visitors was called some davs ago
to considei the subject, and if possible, adopt
measures to counteract the epidemic. It was
agreed to vacate rooms in which the disease ori
ginated, but it soon appeared in other apart
ments, there being three new cases shortly after
, wards. The students becoming still more ex
cited, presented a petition to the Board request
ing a suspension of theiectures, which was not
i complied with.
For a week past they have been leaving
rapidly, some for their homes, others taking up
j their nbodps elsewhere, and out of 624-, who
wre in the University at the commencement,
; there are only 300 left. Meetings were held
| nightly, to consider the matter and additional
measures are being takpn bv remaining students
to procure a suspension of lectures, which if not
granted soon, it is believed the institution may
be finally deserted until health-fulness is again
restored.
At last accounts the Executive (.'ommiltpe
had called another meeting of the Board, and il
wasbeiieved some definite action would be taken
in order to render satisfaction and safety to those
in the University.
Several students who had contracted the fever
and left for other quarters, died befoie being
able to reach home. This is a serious matter,
i and should be carefully investigated.

THE WONDER OF THE AGE!
J. M. LIN SET'S GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVERY!
Which is a purely vegetable Preparation , for the pu
rifying of blood, giving vigor to the Liver, stomach
and bowels, and expelling from the system all mor
bid matter, and substituting in its stead a healthful
activity through all the functions of life.
HOW IT WAS DISCOVERED:
In the fall of 1851 a duugLler of Mr. Lir.dsey was
suffering irom a malignant attack of (.'antrum Oris
(Canker of the mouth.) She had previously been
prostrated by the attacks of Dysentary, Inflamation
of the lungs ar.d Hectic Fever, successively, which
resulted in the abuve named disease in its worst
form. Her condition wus most deplorable— heT mouth
and cheek were literally rotten—the attending phy
sician pronounced the case a hopeless one. Every
thing indicated a speedy and horrible death—the
death of rotting out of life ! At this critical junc
tuie .Mr. LiruUey prepared a compound for the pur
pose of alleviating, possible, the patr-.s of the little
sufferer. She was made to use it freely, and in a
short time to his mo-t delightful astonishment, there
was a very perceptible change for the better. The
mouth began to put on a bright and healthy appear
ance—the foul breath became sweet—the appetite
was restored, and the child seeined to partake of a
new arid fresh life.
Hope was inspired,and the use of the compound
was faithfully continued, the result of which, with
the blessing of God, was her complete restoration.—
She is now perfectly healthy ! From this circum
stance, Mr. Lindsey wasted to prepare with greater
care and exactness, what had so astonishingly cured
his child, and continued his experimental efforts un
til he succeeded in bringing to perfection his
Great Remedy for Wood Impurity —since which time
its effects have been almost miraculous. Hundreds
upon hundreds, by it, have been snatched from an
untimely grave and restored to the sweets of health
and the endearment of friends, The young and old
have tested it. saving powers and >-ing aloud its vir
tues. Say they "after using Lindsey's Improved
Blood Searcher, we felt as if a new life was stirring
our veins, and under God we owe to it more than
words can express."
But hear from their own lips and then judge of its
valuable effects. The few testimonials that follow
show that it is deservedly sty led the Greatest Discov
ery ef this or any other age.

. / DESPER.ITE V.JSE OF TETTER and

f searcher. I, tbe undersigned, sometime in
March was severely afflicted with what vvaspro
i. nr ciul by nr.y physicians to be a certain kind of Tet
ter and Barber's Itch. My condition was one of the
gieatest rtuseiy; mv face was almost constantly run
ning with the foul corruption that escaped from the
tubercles, by which it was almost completely cover
ed. After being under the t care of my physicians for
near two month-, without tbe least benefit, 1 wasin
duccd lo n ake ati i.il ol LimJsey's Blood Searcher,
and the re-..1t u„- it,at in u-ing one bottle and a half
I ton. d a perfect cine. 1 may also -ay that 1 eagerly
tried Whatever was recommended as a cure.—
Stich was tr.v w ictrhedre-s that 1 even resorted to
the dangerous experiment of pouring pure Creosote
ori my lace and nerU, but all to no purpose—the
Blood S atelier was tbe ,ir-t anil only thing that did
me any good. Asa blood purifier it is unequalled;
1 have great to be grateful that I ever made a
trial of its healing virtues, audi confidently reeom
mri. i it to any wbo may suffer from Tetter, or any
other di-ea-e arising troin an impure state of the

-7.V LVfERESTLYG CJSE OF SCROFU
LA cured by one bottle of Lindsey's Blood Searcher.
—This ceiiifies that about one year ago our little
son aged lour years, was most sorely afflicted with
what the physicians pronounced to be u scrofula,
and was treated accordingly for nearly a year, but
without the slightest benefit. His eyes were running
a thin mattery fiutnor almost constantly; which would
encrust his eyes beyond the power of opening them
until they were washed and cleaned by soap and wa
ter. About the same time an abscess formed just
below the groin, which 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
and the clothing ol' the child perfectly sickening in
a single nights time. After having the attentions of a
physician tor so long a time, and finding the child to
begetting worse, we determined to try the effects of
Mr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher. This was in last
March—and before two weeks had passed away the
change was manifest, and Inm happy to say that in
' the use of a SINGLE BOTTLE our little bov has
been perfectly restored to health. We cannot speak
| too highly of this invaluable medicine. It should be
■ in every family—none should be without it. Asa pu
rifier of blood it is beyond all price !

ilollidaysbiirg, I'a. March 19th, 1557.
De. J. M. Lindsky, —Dear Sir: I have been using
your Improved Blood Searcher since some time last
summer, and I deem it to be a mattei of duty tobear
my testimony to its invigorating blood restorative
virtues. 1 have been for a number of years severe
ly 11 on bled erysipelas and genera' debility, but since
1 put myself under the inlluence of your Improved t
Blood Searcher, 1 find a very decided improvement, 1
Indeed, my acquaintances frequently remark, that I i
look so "fat and hearty;" and I know of no other j
cause than the use of your Improved Blood Searcher. j
Judging from my own experience, I believe that this i
is one of the most valuable medicines that woman l
can use. especially those who are or have entered j
upon the decline ot life (from 40 to 50 years of age), j
I feel tlrat it would have been above ingratitude on
my my part to have withheld tins testimony, and in
thus consenting to appear as a witness before the
public. 1 have been actuated solely with reference
to the voice of conscience and duty. You are
at liberty to make whatever use you may deem pro
per of this statement. Yours, respectfully,
MARGARET VV. O'DONNELL.
LIVER COMPLJILYT CURED BY Lind

Personally appeared before me, one of the Justices
of the Peace, in and for Blair county, George Kopp,
who, being duly sworn according to law, doth depose
and say: Two years ago 1 was afflicted with pain
between the shoulders, almost constant cough, loss
of appetite, chills, nightsweats, arid very subject to
take colds; I, at length, became so weak that 1 could
hardly walk; my physician done me no good. Some
time last fall, 1 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 fiomLiver diseases, general debility, loss
of appetite, and other diseases arising from impurity
of the blood. 1 would not like to do wilhout it.—
1 consider it an excellent family medicine.

A DESPERATE CASE OF AGUE AjYD
DYSPEPSIA, entirely cured by the use of Lindsey's
"Improved Blood-Searcher."
Blair Coanty, s*. —Personally appeared before me,
the subscriber, one of the Justices of tbe Peace, in
and for said county, John iMoran, who, being duly
sworn according to law, do depose and say that
in the spring ol 1856, I was a victim tothat worst of
diseases—dyspepsia, and that in its worst form. My
appstite was completely gone, and when, in order to
preserve life, I would force myself to swallow a
mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately
loath it, and cast it forth with the spittle. 1 had
also been suffering with the ague; each attack iastins
about nine months out of the twelve, so that, with
the ague and dyspepsia, 1 was reduced as I 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 his irr
proved blood-searcher, assuring me it would work a
cure. 1 commenced its use but with little confidence
but, in one week's time—so great was its restoia
tive powers—! found my appetite to relnrn, my,
stomach received a new tone, so that 1 could eat'
anything without the slightest inconvenience, and
before its healing touch the ague fled as from a
cliartn; nor have 1 been troubled with ague or dye
pepsia since. f enjoy a better state of health than
1 had done for fifteen years before; 1 am strong and
hearty, and I feel confident that, under the Lie; sing
of God, 1 owe all to the invaluable Improved Blood-
Searcher. I believe it not to be only a sure remedr
for ague, but an inlallible preventive, and, as such J
would recommend it to all whose business, hatits or
resdiences, expose them to this dreadful pest of ha
manity. Dyspepsia cannot stay where the Improv
ed Blood-Searcher is properly used. 1 feel it my du
ty to point all who suffer, to this all-healinr medi
cine. (signed.) JOHN MOHAN,
