In the midst of the planting season, the
farmer will do well to remember that his
profits, on this most important crop, depend
more upon thorough cultivation, than upon
the extent of surface planted. It is a great
mistake, made by very many, to go on plan
ting and adding acre to acre, until the dose |
of the planting season, without a thought as
to future cultivation. There is no other
crop, the profits, of which, depend so much
upon thorough tillage. The field, that will
scarcely produce forty bushel to the acre
with slovenly Culture, may be made to pro
duce from sixty to one hundred bushels with
the little additional labor required to culti
vate and keep it dean after planting.—
Drouth will sometimes almost destroy a corn
crop carelessly tilled, when deep ploughing
and clean and thorough culture are all that
are necessary to make the farmer almost in
dependent of the weather and secure for
him a fair profit. See to it, then, farmers
that you plant not an acre more of corn than
you will be able to keep perfectly clean and
mellow from the time it is above ground
until it is too large to cultivate. Thorough
work always pays, work half done never
pays.
GOOD STOCK. —Why is it that on so ma
ny of the farms throughout the country,
farms of which no person need be ashamed,
and which in almost every particular except
this one, show the unquestionable signs ot
good farming, the stock exhibit the unmis
takable evidence of neglect and inattention in
in breeding ? There is no donbt that it is
generally the result either of carelessness or
that it arises from the mistaken idea often
entertained by farmers, that it will not
pay" to devote more attention and expense
to this branch of their business.
How very much mistaken are those who
indulge in this idea, for that it will cost no
more to keep a well-bred animal than one ot
an inferior quality is an undisputed tact,
and very often it is the case that that breed
of animals which is particularly distinguish
ed for some excellent quality, consume less
(ban those which are their decided inferiors.
Hence it follows from this, that it is possible
to keep more well-bred animals upon a cer
tain quantity of food than those ot an mle
rior quality.
Having thus proved that it is poor econo
my, in relation to the quantity of food con
sumed, to keep aninfenor animal, Eshallnow
speak of some of the other advantages
which well-bred animals have over the in
ferior. Take, for example, two oxen, one of
which is well-bred and well cared for ; the
other an ill-bred, ill cared for, inferior ani
mal and notice the vastly greater ease and
celerity with which the former will do his
work in comparison to the latter. In like
manner take two cows and notice the differ
ence in the quantity and quality of their
milk Also, m relation to fattening quali
ties, how much quicker, and with
what greater facility the well-bred animals
may be fan ned, a ;d to what greater weignts
tbpv mav fx 1 brought than those which are
inferior to tl 'em. But some may say that it
; n<warv ; n order to obtain these well
i?Vt TOOK money th„
they care about doing. It is true that in
some cases it is i necessary to expend a cer
tain amount, but this when properly invest
ed. will soon be re 4 ™d. But it often hap
pens that it is not 1 'ecessaiy to expend any
hing. for there are doubtless some of your
neighbors who post tetter bred males
than yourself, and ofte W thus mterchang
ing great benefits may e nsue - , ,
'Such a method as this benefit oniv
those who raise their ot vn breeding
but those who buy their stc
young, generally run a n 3 k of obtaining
some inferior animals. — Ger, nantown Tele
graph. _ _
SOWING SEEDS. —Few of os a. re aware ol
the amount of labor we entail \ l P° n our "
selves by sowing foul seed, or seed t , Qat con "
tains a large quantity of weed seen, • upon
our fields. We are sowing it every yeL
and what is worse, we cannot always " e, P
ourselves. „
Prof. Buckman, late of the Royal Ag T1 ~
cultural College, after the most careful m -
vestigation, found that in a pint of ordinary
clover seed, there were no less than 7UOO
seeds of weeds. In a pint of common grass
seed, such as is generally bought at the
Btores, there were 12,600 weed seeds. In a
pint of broad-leaved clover, there were 39,-
gave 25,560. and a'no£herAliS r e§6ffti'i'us l?u££
tityof 70,400 foul weed seeds.
The number of these vile seeds to be
found in our grass seeds like timothy, red
top, etc., is no doubt incredibly great. Is
there any subject more important, therefore,
than how to procure pure seed? We have
weeds enough without sowing them. — Mas
sachusetts Ploughman.
CLEAN MILKING.—It is sometimes for
gotten that the last gill of milk drawn from
the cow's udder is tiie best part of every
milkiDg. Careful experiments made in
England show, (according to a report lately
published) that the quality of cream obtain
ed from the last cup taken from most cows
exceeds that of the first in proportion of
twelve to one. Hence a person who care
lessly leaves but a half pint of milk undrawn
loses in reality about as much cream as
would be afforded by six or eight pints at
the beginning ; and loses too that part of
"the cream which gives the richness and fla
vor to the butter.
KILL THE CATERPILLARS.—We have
several communications urging upon those
who own trees to devote a little time now
to the destruction of caterpillar nests, which
unusually numerous this season. One gen
tleman, who has no trees of his own, went
into his neighbor's garden, and estimates
that he killed 10,000 of these mischievous
insects, in an hour's time, and in so doing
probably saved his friend his fruit CTOP next
fall. An hour spent now in destroying these
pests is of more value than ten hours will
be a few weeks hence, and we hope a war of
extermination will everywhere be waged
against them.— Boston Journal.
As HULL AS A HOE.—Why should the
hoe be made the whippihg post for so many
bluntfedged scythes, axes, knives, and other
tools'? As dull as a hoe ! Many a farmer
works the year through with a hoe whose
edge is thicker than an old-fashioned
per, when a few minutes turning of the
grindstone would put it in good working or
der. A sharp hoe saves time and strength,
and does one's work better than a dull one.
No farmer will mow ordinarily longer than
a day, without grinding his scythe, why not
always keep an edge also upon the hoe ?

The property ef the above named company,
which is about being organized under the mining
laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following
valuable territory, to wit:
1. A lease of one-half acre, known as ''No. 3,"
on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry
Run, Venango county, Pa., just above the celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels per
day. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
the above, known as "No. 6," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the coiu
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-eigbths of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mite from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by tho "Stump Island Oil
Company." All flat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the (llarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny,"' of Philadelphia, arc now sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by
that of any other company yet organised. The
two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tentbs of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 100,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low prioe of
ticenty -ficc cent per share, thus placing every sub
scriber to tki fund on tke ground-f our, and giv
ing each eubecriber a pro rata interest in the ter
ritory, engines, and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boripg up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1865, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceed without
delay to the development of its territory.

JjIOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Powders.
These Powders have proved, after a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fiorn the fact that they areeotnpos
ed of medicines that have Lux utive, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous [and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy kin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noblo animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearanco of being fat when not really so—but
to remove the diseaso and promote his general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an f
bring them to a healthy stafe. They are a surepro
vention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy
all diseases incident to the Horse, as Ghtndcrs,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss ol Appetite and Vital
Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter aud spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Corie
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
Mir.CH cows.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value which should place it in the
hands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and rnakcß them thrive mach faster,

BRITISH PERIODICALS.
VIZ.
London Quarterly Review (Conservative.)
Edinburgh Review (Whig.)
Westminster Review (Radical).
North British Review (Free-Church).
AND
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine (Tory)
The American Publishers continue to reprint the
above-named periodical®, but as the cost of printing
has doubled and the price of paper nearly trebled,
they are compelled to advance their terms as fol
lows:
T", _ . per annum.
For any one of the Reviews $4.00
For any two of the Reviews 7.00
For any three of the Reviews..... 10,00 44
For all four of the Reviews..., 12 00 44

For Blackwood and any one Review.." 7M "
For Blackwood and two of the Reviews .10.00 "
For Blackwood and three of the Review? IH.OO "
For Blackwood and the four Review#.... 15.00 "
Theso works will bo printed on a greatly im
proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A
merican Periodicals arc either advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
continue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original editions.Hence, our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter tarnished, as those of any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexeecding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nualpayments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—sl costing us at
I this time nearly $2.50 In currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted" we shall be enti
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rathor increased than diminished by the
a u tlC If y c ? ntain on ourgreat Civil War, and
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
stUi, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they are writ ten. be
read and studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and party.
