Jam, n &
CLEAN CTITI'BI.
Much has bean said and written upon this
subject, yet its importance is unappreciated
by fanners generally. The residents of cit
ies and villages, having but a small area of
ground for cultivation, see the necessity of
keeping it dean and in proper eoodition.
But the great majority of farmers act as if
they thought it was a matter of small mo
ment whether they grew grain and roots or
weeds. They think (to use a favorite ex
pression,) that "it don't pay" to spend too
much time and labor to exterminate the
weeds. This is a great mistake. Take the
corn crop, for instance. Let one field be
kept free from weeds and grass through the
entire season, and the &her half cultivated
—estimate the quantity and quality of the
crop—and you will soon see that the clean
culture "does pay," and largely too. If the
proper course is taken with a field of corn
or potatoes, it costs little more 'to keep it
clean than to have it grow up to weeds and
grass.
In the first place, many men make a mis
take in plowing the ground too early. Oth
ers do not more than half fit it for the crop.
If it is sod, great care should be taken that
it should be t cell plmced —that every parti
cle of grass is turned under. The plowing
should not be commenced until near the
season for planting; it should then be push
ed forward as rapidly as possible until com
pleted.
Premising that the soil is in proper con
dition, the roller should immediately follow
the plow; then harrow lengthwise of the
furrow and next diagonally, so as not to
disturb the sod. If the weather is favora
ble and the soil is reasonable loose, dry and
in good tilth, three thorough harrowings
will generally be sufficient. But do not be
in haste to introduce the marker. Remem
ber that a good former always hoes his crop
once before it is planted. If he does, very
likely that will be the only hoeing it will
need. The cultivator and plow will do the
rest As soon as the corn makes its appear
ance above the ground (or before,) fertili
zers should be applied—plaster, or wood
ashes, or, what is better, both these combi
ned; and as soon as the rows can be distin
guished, the cultivator should be started.
The old rule used to be to cultivate twice
and then hoe, and after the lapse of seme
weeks, perhaps, this process was repeated.
ow, the true way is to have wo arbitrary
rule about it. Keep it clean and the soil
mellow, if you have to keep the cultivator
going until the corn is tassled out—and hoe
it if necessary. For several years I have
not used a hoe after planting and my rule is,
not to have a weed go to seed amoDg my
potatoes. In a dry season this result is eas
ily attained. Hoeing, in the skimming and
superficial manner in which it is usually
done, does very little good. It is the deep
and frequent stirring of the soil, with the
cultivator, plow, or horse-shoc, that does
the business. The importance of it in dry
season cannot be over-estimated. It is folly
to sit down and mourn over the drouth.—
Pray for rain if you please—but by all means
keep the cultivator going.— Exchange.
TO MAKE FARMING ATTRACTIVE.
1. By less hard work. Fanners often un
derstand more than they can do well, and
consequently work too early and too late.
2. By more system. The formers should
have a time to begin and stop labor. They
should put more mind and machinery into
their work. They should theorize as well as
practice, and let both gc together. Farming
is. healthy, moral, and respectable ; and, in
the long run, may be made profitable. The
former should keep good stock and out of
debt. The farm is the best place to begin
and end life, and hence so many in the cities
and professional life covet a rural home.
3. By taking care of health. Farmers
have a healthy variety of exercise, but too
often neglect cleanliness, omit bathing, eat
irregularly and hurriedly, sleep in ill-venti
lated apartments, and expose themselves to
cold. Nine-tenths of the human diseases
arise from cold or intemperance. Frequent
bathing is profitable, so is fresh air, delib
eration at the dinner table, and rest after
dinner.
4. By adorning the home. Nothing is
lost by a pleasant home. Books, papers,
pictures, music and reading should all be
brought to bear upon the indoor family en
tertainments; and neatness and comfort,
order, shrubbery, flowers and fruits should
harmonize all without Home should be a
sanctuary so happy and holy that children
will love it, manhood crave it, old age enjoy
it There would be less desertion of old
homesteads if pains were taken to make
them agreeable. Ease, order, health and
beauty are compatible with farm life, and
were ordained to go with it.
HELPERS.
Twice as much work can be done on the
farm by the use of proper implements as
there can be without them. A man can
tend two or three acres of corn, with the
use of a good horse-hoe, easier than he can
tend one acre with the hand hoe alone. So
he can get four or five tons of hay, with less
hard work to himself, with the use of a ma
chine to cut and a horse-rake, than he can to
cut and rake by hand. The aid of a wheel
hoe, in the cultivation of vegetables and field
root crops, will enable him to do the work
with half the help. It is not too late to look
among the machines, and see what ones
among them may be introduced with deci
ded economy and advantage. The ordinary
farmer cannot afford to do his work with his
hands alone —he must employ machinery.
TO PREVENT A.M Vl HE HYDROPHO
BIA.
A. Hubbard, of Broome Co., 111., in a let
ter to the St. Louis Republican says eigh
teen years ago my brother and myself were
bitten by a mad dog, a sheep was also bitten
at the same time. Among the cures offered
for the little hoys (we were then ten or twelve
years old) was the following which was said
to cure the bite of a rattle snake. Take the
root of the common upland Ash, commonly
called White Ash, peel off the bark, boil it
to a strong decoction, of this drink freely.
Whilst my father was preparing the above
the sheep spoken of began to be afflicted with
hydrophobia when it had become so fatigued
from its distracted state as to be no longer
able to stand, my father drenched it with a
pint of the Ash root ooze hoping to ascer
tain whether he could depend upon it as a
cure for his sons. Four hours after the
drench had been given, to the astonishment
of all, the animal got up and went quietly
with the flock to graze. Mv brother and
myself continued to take medicine for 8 or
10 days, 1 gill 3 times daily. No effect of
the dread poison was ever discovered on ei
ther of us. It has been used very success
fully in Snake bites to my knowledge. Th is
medicine boiled very strong may vomit and
purge if taken too freely.

JjIOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Ponders.
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 fiom the fact that they arecompos
ed of medicines that have Laxative, 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, strengthenstheappetiteand gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearance of being fat when not really so—bnt
to remove the disease and promote his general
health.
These powderg will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an 4
bring tbcm to a healthy state. They are a surepre
vention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy
all diseases incident to the Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss of Appetite and Vital
Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric
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.
MILCH 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 makes them thrive much faster,
HOOS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver, <tc., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can be cured or entirely prevented.
By using these powders the hog cholera can be
prevented.

The American Publishers continue to reprint the

has doubled and the price of paper nearly trebled,
they are compelled to advance their terms as fol

These works will be printed on a greatly im

meriean Periodicals are 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 editiocs.Hence, our pres

of matter furnished, 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) arecxcceding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an

sheets and copyright in Gold—sl costing us at
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 rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgreat Civil War, and
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be
read and studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and party.

Mw Favoritism. Every Subscriber on the
Ground Floor.
The property of the above named company,
which is about being organized nnder the mining
law* 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 barrel* pet
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 a* "No. 6," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for rixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acre* of ground; five-eighth* of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritohey Run, one mile from it* junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." Allflat, boreablo territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, ju*t below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There i* room on this tract for a half dozen well*.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, are now sinking several well*
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 exeelled by
that of any other company yet organized. 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 bo the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenth* of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
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
share* to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
twenty-Jive cent* per share, (hue placing eery üb
scriber to thin fund on the ground-flour, and gir
ing each subscriber 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 boring 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.
The following named persons haue been elected
