K Common Error in Drainage.
The most of the draining jet attempted in
this country is with open ditches, ar.d in
swamps. Three cases have recently come un
der our observation, in v.hi b the failure is
traceable to a Common cause.
Mr. A—— reclaimed a twimp of twelve
acres. It WHS thickly covered with brush, aud
bad made a very heavy turf of roots end moss,
a root or tuore thick. A Jeep wide ditch was
ran through the middle, wi'-h a few side ditch
es ruDtiiug at right angles to the main ditch.
There was no ditch put around the border to
eat off the springs from the sidj hill. There
was a good fall, and these ditches took off all
the water from the poni and made the whole
sw.uip ready for the plow, lu 1850 he had
good crops, aud in 1857 still belter, some of
the stoulest corn in town. In 1858, the corn
* was not as good, even with the application of
manure, ud in 1855 tbe corn crop is a decided
failure. The Pud had set lied somewhat by
-the decay of the roots nnd vegetable maUei in
the soil, aud had become so compact th: t the
water from the sides could roi rcadi'y escrpe
iulo the ditches.
Mr. li drained some four aorc-s with tile
running from the edge of the swamp into a
main open ditch in the middle. The tile were
put four rods apart, and even with this imper
fect drainage, the luud was very productive for
four or five years, tearing good hoed crops,
AND still better GJ'SS. Last year it WBS taken
up a second time, and the corn was a failure,
cawing to the ex ossivo moisture of the land.—
Mo border ditch had been made to cut rSf
springs from the upland.
3lr. C had s'liae ten acres of low wet
land, underlaid by a bard pan ; the soil iu no
placo in re than eighteen inches deep. A
small brook r;<u through tho middle. The bed
of this was lowered soma two feat, and two
other ditches a? ft di-tance of about ten
were dug, going no deeper than tho hard pan.
There WAS no border ditch—and besides this
error, Mr. C. foil into two others —having only
one ditch where the laud needed three—and
dbggiug only eighteen inches, where he should
have gone down three feet. The Lnd lies on
an inclined platn, has n good fall, and might be
easily made to produce two tons of good bcrds
gr.iss to the acre. Instead of that, the wild
sour gras?e hive never been eradicated, and
ft has never yielded orer three quarters of a
ton of bay to the acre.
These gentlemen are somewhat inclined to
look upon drainage 3? a humbug, when that
term is more appropriately applied to the style
el' their works. It was not more thsn half
done. A border dr.-iu is iudisponsible, in all
ease? of reclaiming swamp land. This cuts off
tho enemy from the outiid", and leaves the
o'her ditches to dispose of the surface water.
These op:n ditches are bat a poor substitute
for thorough drainage, at beat, but they are the
first advances toward the itoprovem at of wot
land, likely to be made by most ftrmars. It
is of great importance that the errors pointed
out in these casus should be avoided.
Tub Cereals OF the United States.—
A statistical view of American Agriculture
recently given in an address delivered by Mr.
Jobn J>j, before the American Geographical
and Statistical Society, gives a rather discoura
ging account of tLe progress of our national
agriculture. In many staple products the
quantity raised has shown a marked decrease
in 1850 (the date of our last census, from
which Mr. J .y has obtained most of the purely
statistical porti ns cf his work) from that rais
ed in preceding years. Until the census of
1850 there can be no means of obtaining fur
ther statistics of the kind, and unless tlKrebas
been a marked improvement during the last
seven year*, the condition of our agriculture
is not very promising. So far as concents the
•wheat crop, the New York Post considers that,
although it has not decreased in its tctual
amount, ,t has not iitcrc-scd io proportion to
the increase of population. Iti New Euglaod
the culture is rapidly declining, while in the
middle Statss it is nearly stationary, and our
chief supplies now ctnie from the uortkwastern
district. In New York, the crop iu 1840 was
over twelve millions of bushels, while in 1850
it was but Dine millions—a decrease of twenty
live per cent. With regard to the products of
the entire country, without alluding to any
particular State, we find that rye, oats, Irish
and sweet potatoes, hay and tobacco, have
steadily decreased. Hops have increased at
the rate of five hundred per cent, owing to the
enormous consumption of lager beer, iiice
has increased at the rate of nearly three hun
dred per cent. In 1840 the cotton produced
arnouoted to eight hundred millions of pounds,
in 1850 to nine hundred and eighty millions,
in 1855 to one billion and eighty-eight "nil
lions. Hut ihe great staple production of the
United States, far surpassing in amouat even
our famed wheat, cotton and tobacco—is In
dian corn. Its cultivation has retrograded in
no.State, and the crop uiay be roughly estima
ted at four hundred millions of bushels in 1840
six hundred millions in 1850, over seven hun
dred millions in 1855, and fully eight hundred
millions in 1856.

Drs. FITCH & SYKJSS 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 before and during its development in the
lungs, and they therefore employ Mechanical, Hy
gienic and Medicinal remedies to purify the blood
and strengthen the system. With these the)- use
MEDICAL INHALATIONS, which they value
highly, but only as Palliatives, (having no enrative
effect when used alone.) and invalids are earnestly
cautioned agiiust wasting the preeious time of
curability upon any treatment based upon the
plausible, but 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 on'y in the lungs.

VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
W E . beg leave to call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. I'IIBS. M'Lout's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE V ERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It lias also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER FILLS,
For the cure of Li v t'R C OM vl AINTS,
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 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. Address all orders to
