" - ■ ■' -—- ADVICE- TO FARMERS. Mr. Jacob Strawn, of Illinois, bas earned the reputation of being the "giant farmer of the West." Twenty-sovcu years ago he set tled in Illinois, a poor man. His operations were small at first, bat continued to increase vaeb year, until he had reduced over 30,000 acres of land to a state cf cultivation. He has one farm of 7,800 acres, and another of 10,000. He ha 3 usually employed some 200 to 300 men, and a largo number of horses.— Every year, until quite recently, he stalled from 6,000 to 7,000 head of cattle, and kept other live stock in proportionate numbers. In these twenty-seven years be bas made a for tune of a million of dollars, aud is still bale and hearty to enjoy it. He has one corn field, in Morgan county, some six miles loDg.— Lately be bas not been farming so much, hav ing converted some of his real estate into cash, lie writes the following items of advice to fanners, iu the Chicago Press. When you wake up, do not roll over, but roll out. It will give you time to ditch all your sloughs, break them up, harrow them, and sow them with timothy and red clover.— One bushel of clover to ten bushels of timothy is sufficient. Make youi fences high, tight, and strong, so that it will keep cattle aud pigs out. If you have brush, make your lots secure, and keep your hogs from the cattle*, for if yonr ccrn is eieaD they will ear it better tban if it is not. Be sure to get your hands to bed by 7 o'- clock. They will rise early by the force of circumstances. Pay a hand—if he is a poor hand—all you promise him. If he is a good hand, pay him a little more; it will cneouiage him to do bet ter. Always feed your hands as well as you do yourself, for the working man is the bone and sinew of the world, and ought to be well treated. lam satisfied tbat getting up early, indus try, aud regular habits, aro the best medicines ever prescribed for health. When it comes rainy, bad weather, so that you cannot work out of doors, cut and split your wood. Make your tracks when it tains hard, cleaning your stables, or fixing some thing which you would have to stop the plow for and fix in good weather. Make your tracks fixing your fence, or a gate that is off the hinges, or weather-boarding your barn where the wind has blown off the siding, or patohing the roof of your house or barn. Study your interest closely, aud don't spend any tiate in electing Presidents, Senators, or ottier small officers, or talk of hard times while spending your time iu town, whittling away on store boxes, &c. Take your time, and make your calculations. Don't do things in a Lur ry, but do them at the right tiffiej and keep your mind as well as your body employed. CLOVER AS A MANURE.— In a late uuiu ber of Moore's Rural New Yorker, we fiud an elaborate article on the valao ef clover for plowing under as a manure. We make the fol lowing extract, which may interest the farmer: The tnanurial value of clover, as has been already remarked, is greater than that of any oth.er plant which onn be as economically em ployed. Easily and cheaply raised, affected by few of the casualties so common to m&3t crops, and in a form readily applied to the soil, it takes high rauk as green manure. It is an available means of returning to 'ha soil not only the materials which the plant has drawn out of it, but fire additional organic matter which the plant itself has elaborated from the atmosphere. 'lt has decomposed,' says Dana, 'during the short period of its growth, moro silicates and salt 3 than the air could affect du ring the same period, which, being turned in, restore to the soil from which ibey grew, salts and sieilates in a new form, whose action on vegetacles is like that of the alkalies. It is a quest ion of a good deai of import ance in agriculture, whether we bad better plow clover under io the height of its growth, 01 allow it first to ripen and partially dry and decay. Some contend that it possesses far the greatest value in the latter case, and their ex periments show it to be so. This explained by the authority above quoted, as "a result of the that dry plants give more organic matter than green. Green plants feirocnt, dry plants decay. A large portioD escapes in fermenta tion, as gas and more volatile products are formed, than during decay." rm?** w GOOD SHOES CHEAP, OF MY STYLE AND QUALITY, CALL ON OSTER & CARN, Ifo- 1 Cheap Side- MB!

U'Liat's Olfbratid Vermifuge and Liver Pills. We do not recommend them as universal Cure-alls, but simply for what their name purports, viz.: THE VERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from the human system. It has also been administered with the most satis factory results to various Animals subject to Worms, THE LIVER TILLS, For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS, all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK HEAD- Ac HE, &c. In cases of FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to or after taking Qui nine, they almost invariably make a speedy and permanent cure. As specifics for the above men tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad ministered in accordance with the directions. Their unprecedented popularity has induced the proprietors, FLEMING BROTHERS, PITTSBURGH, PA. to dispose of their Drug business, in which they have been success fully engaged for the last Twenty Years, and they will now give their undivided time and attention to their manufacture. And being de termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills shall continue to occupy the high position they now hold among the great remedies of the day, they will continue to spare neither time nor expense in procuring the Best and Purest material, and com pound them in the most thorough manner.

FITCH & SYKES would state that their treat ment of consumption is based upon the fact that the disease exists in the blood and system at large, both Lefow and during its development in the lungs, and they therefore employ Mechanical, Hy gienic and Medicinal remedies to purify the blood and Jtrengtben the system. With these they use MEDICAL INHALATIONS, which they value highly, but only as Palliatives, (having no curative effect when used alone,) and invalids are earnestly cautioned against wasting the precious time of curability upon any treatment based upon the plausible, hut false idea that the "seat of disease can be reached in a direct manner by Inhalation." For as before stated, the seat of the disease is in the blood and its effects only in the lungs. OCT"No charge for consultation.
