From the American Agriculturist.
Become Acquainted with the In
sects.
Although the ravages of insects and their
progeny have become so destructive as to ren
der tho cultivation of many otherwise profita
ble articles almost an entire failure, compara
tively few are sufficiently acquainted with even
the more common specie?, to recognize them in
their different forms, or to detect the indica
tions of their work until the mischief is too
far advanced to be remedied. This want of
information is not from any great difficulty in
learning their appearance and habits, but from
the fact that general instruction in this as in
other branches of natural science has been ne
glectod. Education, according to the system
pnrsued in most of our common schools, Las
been supposed to consist in imparting a fair
knowledge of "reading, writing and cipher
ing," and if any boy or gitl wa9 privileged to
go beyond this, they were usually introduced
to the mysteries of Algebra, and the enter
taining study of tho dead languages. This
system has not been without its use- it has
boru noble fruits, but the necessities of tbe
present times demaud something more, and
steps iu the right direction are being taken by
tho introduction of elementary works ou natu
ral science into many of the common schools.
It is within the power of every farmer, by de
voting a few leisure hours to reading and ob
servation, to become well acquainted with bis
insect enemies, to render valuable assistancct o
those who are engaged in professionally iuve*"
-iigatiDg the subject, and without, doubt in a
great measure ultimately to protect himself
from their depredations. It would be well
perhaps to eoirmeucc by procuring some stand
ard work, such as Harris's or bitch's and tf
ter readiug tbe description of some one insect,
fiod a specimen and watch its transformations,
until it can be recognized in any form, and i s
habits fully understood. A tasie for such ob
servations will soon be formed, and a formed,
and a few years will suffice to reuder a persou
thoroughly acquainted with most of the de
structive insects of his own locality.
- RISE AND FALL OF SAP — INTERESTING j
EXPERIMENT. —The July Agriculturist, last;
jear, (Vol. XVII, page 213,) contained an ar
ticle on the ••riso and fail of np, r ' in which
dbeopiuiou was maintained >hat the sap passes
up through the new wood to the leaves, where
it is elaborated, aud that it afterwards descends
through the inner bark, depositing on its way
the materials for the formation of wood, bark,
buds, etc. A subscriber, Mr. (.'has. M. Keep,
became interested iu the subject, and tried the
following experiment with a view of testing
the accuracy of too theory. During the iu
uoculatiog season, he took a bud from a pear
tree, and with it, tho bark attached an inch
above and one fcurtb of an inch below. This
wus inserted in the usual manner, exoept that
the horizontal cut in the bark of the tree was
•uiado at the lower end of the vertical incUiou
to cut off any sap that might flow upwards to
supply th) bud. The experiment was success*
ful as far as the growth of th" bud wus con
cerned. This, however, is uot coucinsive as fo
the course of the sup; for, in the usual method
•of budding, the effect of the horizontal cut
above the bud would as certainly prevent the
downward flow of sap to heal the wouod and
form a uuioo. It is probable that in either
case enough of the fluid would find its way
around the sides of the cross cut, through the
Lark, to secure the growth of the bud, other
circumstances being favorable. If in a num
ber of trees, the bark should be so cut away
around the bud, that sap could only reach it
from above, and in an equal number of others
the same process should be applied, so as to
give a supply of sap only from below, the re
sults when compared would bo more decisive.
WATERING TREES AND PLANTS.— When
it is necessary to do this, do not just sprinkle
tbe surfaco of the ground: tLis is "culy an ag
gravation" to the thirsty roots, and it leaves
tbc ground iu a bad state, hard and dry. lu
stead of this, remove the surface soil several
inches deep, and give tbc root 9 a thorough
•soaking. Then return the top soil, and mulch
it with straw, leaves, tan bark, or any such
porous material. This will prevent the baking
of the ground, and will keep the soil moist for
* long time. The usual method of dashing
•water on the top of the ground is almost use
less. Very little of tbe water *so applied,
reaches tbe roots of tbe tree.

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
\X 7"E beg leave to call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two ot the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Cliis. I'Lane's Celebrated
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 PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &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 arc 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. Address all orders to

IMPROVED CIST-HI (IN
CARRIAGE HUB.
J HIE undersigned believes that ho lias invented a
. cast iron carriage hub which far excels all
others now in use, for strength, neatness and dura
bility, and that it only needs to be examined, and
its merits tested, to secure its universal approval
and adoption. Indeed it is no longer an experi
ineut, it having been effectually tried by the best
judges in OHT country, and pronounced one of the
Greatest Improrements of (he Age!
Several vehicles have been in use over two years
with the Improved Huh attached, anef the wheels
are still s perfect as when they left the shop, the
unavoidable we ir excepted.
This is the only Cast Iron Hub ever inveuted
sutable for light wheels.
This improvement is of sucli a nature thai one or
more spokes may be taken out changed or replaced
without disturbing the other portion ol the wheel
Where a wood hub is used, if a spoke happens to
become broken, it i 3 necessary to cut the tire and
separate the felloes, to get at the damaged part.—
The wheel must lie then mporeco the sed, tire re
welded and reset. All this involves a considerable
per.se and ioss.of time.
In the present Improvement the L.uer ends of
the spoki s are secured in an Iron Hub, which con
sists mainly of two shells fasteneted together with
screws. By simply unscrewing the nuts and taking
off the back shell, any one of the spokes may be
removed or changed, and the hob again put together
cr, leaving the wheel as solid and firm as ever, nil
WITHIN THE SPACE OF A FEW
MINUTES.
This method of constructing Iron Hub Wheels
gives theui uuusu.il strength,
LIGHTNESS AND NEATNESS,
besides obviating several other objections that have
heretofore attended their use. The cost of manu
facture is also greatly reduced.

the disease exists in the blood aud system at large,
both before and during its development in the

and strengthen the system. IVith these they use
-MEDICAL INHALATIONS, which they value
highly, but only as Palliatives, (having no curative
effect when used alone,) and invalids are earnestly
