I I have given an account of my poor, little experiment in Irrigation, because it is one which almost every farmer can imitate nd improve npon, however narrow h>s domain and slender his fortune. I presume there are Half a Million homestead* in the United States which bate natural facilities for Irri gation at least equat to mine, many of them far greater. A long either slope of the Alle ghenies, throughout a district at least a thou sand miles long by three hundred wide, near ly every farm might be at least partially irri gated hy means of a dnm costing from twen ty-five lo cne hundred dollars; ao might at least half the farms in New England and our uwn State. On the prai*:t, the plana must he different, and the expenses probably great er., but the results obtained would bounteous ly reword the outlay. I shall not aee the day, but there are 'hose now living who will see it, when A'tesian wells will be dug at points where many neres may be flowed from a gen lie swell in tbe midst of a vast plain, or at the head of a fertile valley, expressly, or at least mainly, that its waters may be led across that plain, adown that talley, in irrigating streams and ditches, until they have been wholly drank up by the soil. I have seen : gle wells in California that might be made Hi irrigate snthetently hundreds of acres, by the aid of a reservoir into which their waters . ould be discharged when Ike soil did not re quire them, and there retained until tbe thirsty earth demanded them. An old arid successful tarmer in my neigh borhood affirms that Water is the cheapest and best fertilizer evor applied to the soil. If thin were understood to mean that no oth er i.-> needed or can be profitably applied, it would be erroneous. Still, I think it clearly true that the annual product of most farm* can be increased, and tbe danger of failure averted, more chiefly by the skilfull applica tion of water than by'.bat of any fertilizer whatever. Plaster (Gypsum) possibly except- I took a run through VirginiaJast Summer, not fur from the lit of August. That State was then suffering intense!/ from drouth, as she continued to do for some weeks there r.tter. I am qui'e sure that I saw on her thirsty plains and hill-sides not less than three hundred thousand acres planted with Indian Com, whereof the average product could uot exceed ten bushels per acre, while most of it would fall far below that yield, and there were thousands of acres that would not produce ore sound ear ! Every one deplored the failure, correctly attributing it to the pre vailing drouth. And yet. I passed hundreds it not thousands of places where a very mod' erate outlay would have sufficed to dam a stream or brooklet issuing from between two spurs of the Blue Ridge, or the Allegheniea, to that a refreshing current of the copious and fertilizing floods of Winter and Spring, ws.rmed by the fervid suns of June and Jifly, could hare been led over broad fields lying below, so as to vanquish drouth and insure gtnerous harvests. Nay: I feel confident that 1 ould in many places have constructed rc.de works in a week, after that drouth began to be felt, that would have saved and made the Corn on at least a portion of the planted acres through which the now shrunken brooks danced and laughed idly down to the larger streams in the wider and equally thirsty Tal leys. Of course, I know that this would have been imperfect irrigation—a mere stop gap that the cold spring-water of a parehad Sum mer cannot fertilize as the hill-wash of Winter and Spring, if thriftily garnered and warmed through and through for sultry weeks, would do : yet I belidve that very many farmers might ven then, have secured partial crop* by such irrigation as was still possible, had they, even at the eleventh hour, done their best to retrieve errors of the past. For the present, I would only counsel every farmer to give his land a careful scrutiny with a view to irrigation in the future. No une is obliged to do nny faster than his ' cans will justify; and yet it may be well to have a clear comprehension of all that oiay ultimately be done to profit, even though much of it must long remain unaltempted. In many cases, a stream may be dammed for two or three months of each year, if it shall c.ppear that this use is quite consistent with its employment in irrigation, whew the for mer alone would not justify the requisite out lay. It is by thus making one expense ob serve two e lite independent but not incon sistent purposes that success is attained in her pursuits; and so it may be in farming. As yet, each farmer ibust study his own re sources with intent to make the moat of them. a manageable stream crosses or issues from his and, he must measure its fall thereon, study the lay of the land, and determine whether he can or caDnot, at a tolerable cost muse that stream available in the irrigation Y least a portion of his growing crops when they shall need water and the skies decline to supply it. On many, I think on most, >rms situated amo lg kills, or upon the slopes of mountains, something may be done in this way—done at once, and with immediate prof it. But this is rudimentary, partial, frag mentary, when compared with the irrigation which yet shall be. lam confident that there are points on the Carson, the Humbolt, the V. eber. the South Platte, the Cache- le-Poud re, and many less noted streams which thread the centra! plateau of our continent, where an expenditure of SIO,OOO to $60,000 may be judiciously made in a dam, locks and canals, :or the purposes of irrigation and milling combined, with a moral certainty of realizing bUy per cent, annually on the outlay, with a steady increase in the value of the property. It my eye did not deceive roe, there is one I ;t on the Carson where a dam that need not cost $">0,0o0 would irrigate one hundred square miles of rich plain which when I saw t f eleven years ego, grew nought but the worthless shrubs of the desert, simply be cause nothing else could endure the intense, abiding drouth of each Nevada Summer Much palpable invitations to thrift cannot re main forever unimproved. lu regions like this, where Summer rains are the rule rather than the exception, the iwed of irrigation is not so palpable, since we Jo or may se'-.e decent average crops in iu a, tnce. \et there is no farm in our country t tat would not yield considerably more grain and more grass, more fruit and more vegcta tl.€V' its owner had water at command which he conld apply at pleasure and to any extent he should deem requisite. Most men, thus empowered, would at first irrigate too often and too copiously: but experience would <=oon temper their xeal, and teach them.

JJOW TO CUBE CONSUMPTION, THE PHILOSOP9Y OF DB. BCHENCK'S GREAT MEDICINES—WiII people nerer learn to know that a diseased lirer and stomach neces sarily disease the entire system? The plainest Principle ef eommon senee teach thij, and yet there are hundreds who ridicule the idea, and continue ia the couree which almost inevitably biingathem prematurely to the grave. Living as the majority of people do. at complete variance with the laws of nature, it inußt be apparent to all, that sooner or later, nature will revenge her self. Hence we Ind that persons who indulge to txceat in the use of very rieh or indigestible food or intoxicating drinks, invarisibly pay a heavy penalty in the end. The stomach becomes disor dered and refuses to act; tha liver falls to perform its functions, dyspepsia and its attended* evils follow, and still the suffering individuals persist in clinging to the thoroughly exploded ideas of the past. Dr. SCHBNCK'S medicines are recom mended to all inch. They bring sure and certain reliaf wherever they are used as directed, and all that is necessary to establish their reputation with every ailing man or woman in the land is a fair and impartial trial of tbam. Let those who are skeptical on this point, and who haTe permit ted interested persons to prejudice them against these now celebrated remedies for Consumption, discard their prejudices, and be governed by the prineiples of reason and common sense. If the system is disordered depend upon it, in nine cases out of ten the scat of the disorder will be found in the stomach and liver. To cleanse and invig orate the stomach and to stimulate the liver to healthy action, use SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.—Tho dai ly increasing demand for thess pills is the best evidence of their value. Thousands upon thou sands of boxas are sold daily. Why? Simply because they act promptly and efficiently. In valids who may not And it convenient to call on Dr. BCHENCK io person are informed that full and ccmplete directions for use accompany each package of the MANDRAKE PILLS, PULMONIC SYRUP AND SEA-WEED TONIC. —These medicines will enre consumption unless the lungs are sr far gone that the patient is entirely beyond the reach of medical relief. | It may be asked by those who are not familiar with the virtues of these great remedies, "How do I Dr. SCHENCK'S medicines effect their wonder ful cares of consumption?" The answer is a simple one. They begin their work of restoration by hi nging the stomach, liver and bowels into an active healthy condition. It ia food that cures this formidable disease. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS act on the liver and stomach, promoting healthy secretion, and removing the bile and slime which hare re sulted from the inactive or torpid condition of theao organs, and of the aystcm generally. This slugtrish state of the body, and the consequent ac cumulation of the unhealthy substances named prevent the proper digestion ot food, and, as a natural consequence creates disease, which results in prostration and finally in death. S-HENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP A 6EA IVEED TONIC, when taken regularly, mingle with the food, aid the digestive organs, make good rich blood, and aa a natural consequence, give flesh and strength to the patient. Let the faculty say what it may, this is the only true cure for consumption. Experience has proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt, and thousands are to-day alive and well who a few years since were regar ded as hopeless cases, but who were induced to try Dr. SCHENCK'S remedies, and were restor ed to permanent health by their use. One of the first steps the physician should take with a consumptive patient is to invigorate tbe system. Now how is (his to be done? Certainly not by giving medicines that exhaust and ener vate—medicines that impair instead of improve the functions of the digestive organs. Doctor SCHENCK'S medicines cleanse the stomach and bowels of all substances which are calculated to irritate or weaken them. They create an appe tite—promote healthful digestion—make good blood, and, as a consequence, tbev invigorate and strengthen the entire system, and more especially those parts which are diseased. If this cannot be done, then the case must be regarded as a hope less one. . If the physician finds it impossible to make a PATIKST FEET, HCHSRT, if the diseased person cannot partake of good nourishing food and prop erly digest it, it is impossiblo that he can gain in fiesh and strength; and it is equally impossible to bring a patient to this condition so long as the liver is burdened with diseased bile, and the stomach laden with unhealthy slime. Almost the first request made to the physician by a consumptive patient is that he will prescribe medicines that will remove or allay the congh, night sweats and chills, which are the sure atten dants on consumption. But this should not be done, as the cough is only an effort of nature to relieve itself, and the night sweats and chills are caused by the diseased lungs. The remedies or dinarily prescribed do more harm than good. They impair the functions of the stomach, im pede healthy digestion, and aggravate rather than cure the disease. There is, after all, nothing like facts with which to substantiate a position and it is upon fact; that Dr. SCHKNCK relies. Nearly all who have ta ken his medicines in accordance with his direction, have not only been cured of consumption, but from the fact that these medicines act with won derful power upon the digestive organs, patients thus cured speedily gain flesh. Cleansing the system of all impurities, they lay the foundation for a solid, substantial structure. Restoring these organs to health, thny create an appetite. The food is properly assimilated; the quantity of blood is not only increased, but is made rich and strong and in the face of such a condition of the system all diseases must be banished. Full directions accompany each of the medi cines, so that it is not absolutely necessary that patients should see Dr. SCHFNCK personally, unless they desire to have their lungs examined.

The obvious rea son is, that it is a more reliable and far more cf. factual remedy than any other. Those who bavo tried it, know that it cured them ; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friend", and all know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never fails through any fanlt or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures arc known in every neighborhood, and we uccl not publish them. Adapted to all ages and con ditions in all climates ; containing neither calc ine! or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleas ant to take, i'e being purely vegetable no harm can rise from tboir U3e in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to pnrify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action—remove the obstruc tions of the stomach, bowls, liver, and other or gans of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the Srst origin of dis ease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure :--- For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIBT LESSNESS, LANGUOR and LOSS OF APPE TITE, they should be taken moderately to stim ulate the stomach and roatore its healthy tone and actior . For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symptoms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEACACHE, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK NESS, BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it. For DYSENTERY or DIARRHCEA, but one mild dose is generally required. For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PAL PITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they should be con tinuously taken, as required, to change the dis eased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be takeD in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be ta ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DiNNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into bealtby action, restores tbe sppotite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement ex ists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided ly better, from their cleansing and renovating ef fect on tho digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.

Indispensable to all desirous of being well inform ed CD the great subjects of the day. 1. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. This is the oldest of the series. In its main features it still follows in the path marked out by Brougham, Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, and Lord Hol land, its original founders and first contributors. 2. THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, which commences its 128 th volume with the Jan uary number, was set on foot as a rival to the EDISICRGH. It resolutely maintains its opposi tion in politics, and shows equal vigor io its liter ary depaitment. 3. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW has just closed its 92d volume. In point of liter ary ability this Roview is fast rising to a love! with its competitors. It is the advocate of polit ical and religious liberalism. 4. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, now in its 51st volume, occupies a very high po sitien in periodical literature. Passing beyond the narrow formalism of schools and parties, it appeals to a wider range of sympathies and a higher integrity of conviction. 5. BLACKWOOD'S EDIXBURG MAGAZINE was commenced 52 years ago. Equalling the Quarterlies in its literary and scientific depart ments, it has won a wide reputation for the nar ratives and sketches which enliven its pages.

By mail, post-paid, SB. lOdec CHERRY PECTORAL, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such an Coughs, Void*, Whooping Cough, Ilron ehitis, Asthma, and Consumption. Probobly never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy' for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher and high er in their estimation, a it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of tbe lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against thorn. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for inci pient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in eve:/ family, and indeed as all are some times subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed settled, hare been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mas tery over tbe disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great protec tion from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cared by it. Bronchitis is generally cuted by taking the Cheiry Pectoral in small and frequent doses, So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained. AYER'S AGUE CURE. For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Period ical or Bilious Fever, Ac., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic poison*. As it name implies, it does CURE, and doesnot fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa tient- The number and importance of its cures in the ague districts, are literally beyond account, and we believe without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments We receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme dies had wholly failed. Unaeclimated persona, either resident in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be protected by taking the Ague Cure daily. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it ir an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an exoellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines had failed. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
