Farmer's Clubs,
The tendency to establish in all parts of
our State "Farmers' Clubs," and local ag
ricultural societies, is an indication of in
creasing intelligence among that portion of
our population. The meeting together of
farmers to discuss the principles of agri
culture, to compare methods of cultivating
the soil, the rotation of crops, and the rela
tive value of farm products, must un
questionably result in much good to the
whole community. This practice has been
adopted in England, and is highly com
mended. The Gardener's Chronicle
says:
The activity of farmer's clubs seems to
us the most striking feature of current ag
ricultural history. There is nothing like
it in any other professions. To be sure,
no other professions numbers so many
members on a given area of the country.
but this is not true of them as congrega
ted in our larger towns. Where, however,
will you find elsewhere that constant ac
tivity of the professional mutual improve
ment principal, whether in town or coun
try, which one witnesses continually in ag
riculture? Every locality has its plowing
match and club, every market town its
monthly meeting for discussion, every pro
vince its great summer meeting, and each
of the three kingdoms its national gather
ing awl exhibition. And as if these were
insufficient to satisfy the appetite for social
co-operation, there has grown up another
great organization within the last two years,
and chambers of agricultural have every
where been constitued for the purpose of
ascertaining the opinion of the agricultural
body on public as well as professional ques
tions, and of thereafter urging that opinon
wherever it may best bear fruit. And cer
tainly there is no lack of energy or ability
n the management of all these institutions.
What capital speeches are heard at their
meetings ! What excellent papers are
read! Take them as reported week by
week in the agricultural journals, and one
is most favorably impressed by the knowl
edge and ability displayed ; there is no bet
ter essay anywhere, not even in the pages
of our annual volumes of Society Transac
tions, where everything is the result of la
borious care and thought, that will excel
the speeches on that most important agri
cultural subject at this season of the year,
the provision of winter food for stock, which
are reported from the East Lothian agri
cultural society te-day, as having been spo
ken on the occasion of a recent meeting by
three farmers' club, although its surviving
original members are now all gray-haired
men, is still never at a loss for-new subjects
on which to direct its attention. Its last
year's list is full of practical and scientific
interest—grass-land management, sewerage
farming, land exhaustion, English tenant
right, local agricultural difficulties and suc
cesses, the principles by which the size of
farms should be regulated, there is a touch
here and there all over the field for agri
cultural discussion, and this year's list is as
6•
Early Chickens,
The season of the year has now fully ar
rived when breeders ought to have their
stock mated and placed in breeding pens,
and whenever a hen signs of incubation,
no time should be lost in placing eggs under
her. The early hatched chicken has many
advantages over those of later birth ; it
should be borne in mind that it is in early
chickenhood the frame is made that will
hereafter place it in the rank of the large
birds of its breed. And although feeding
has much to do in the production of size
and maturity other things being equal, the
early chicken is sure to be the best. It
behooves breeders, then, who wish to excel
in this respect, to produce early chickens,
although at the cost of considerably more
care and attention than is necessary in the
raising of those at a later period in the sea
ls n3.—Poultry Chronicle.
Hens.
Keep them in the fowl-house or under
sunny latticed sheds all the time, unless
the days are very warm, and then let them
out of the house for a run, only for an
hour or two when the sun is highest. If
they become thoroughly chilled they will
not recover from it for several days. Va
riety in food is something that should nev
er be forgotten. Corn is a staple; but
oats, buckwheat, and mush made of Indian
meal, fed warm, should be used on alter_
nate days. To insure health, where the
ground is not bare, fowls should always
have cabbage to pick over, and some pork
scrap cake or other animal food to supply
the lack of insect food. Warm water is
-better than cold for their drink, and there
should always be an abundance within easy
reach. Do not forget oyster-shells, which
are far better than lime-plastering. And
to give some interest to poultry operations,
a debit and credit account with the fowls
is always in order, and always conduces to
the best results.—Hearth and Horne.
Feeding Horses too Much Hay.
Of all our domestic animals, there are
none require more systematic feeding than
the horse. A horse should be fed regu
larly, and in moderate quantities, and
worked judiciously. A horse fed in this
way may be kept at a moderate cost, and
will be more healthy and perform more
labor, than if fed highly, or as many we
know of, are in the habit of feeding their
horses. They will surely eat enough to
injure them if they can get it. When hay
is kept constantly before them, horses are
apt to spend their time in throwing it
around topsy turvey in the rack, they soon
become disatisfied with their food, and lose
their keen relish for it. The general prac
tice should be to feed regularly three times
a day.
Mir A Michigan woman found a live
lizard in the heart of a potato, with no
visable means of ingress, and has become
insane in an attempt to decide whether
the potato hatched the lizzard from the
seed, or the hazard grew the potato as a
Kai of overcoat.

The Land vs. The Sea.
The Boston Advertiser says: England is
gradually approaching America. If the
process which has been going on for many
hundred years continues unchecked for as
many thousands, the inhabitants of the
State of Labrador may look across the
gradually narrowing waste of waters in the
year of our Lord 11,871, and see the west
coast of England so near that the Atlantic
will be r duced to a strait. It is a well
known fact that the sea is encroaching
slowly upon the east coast of England, and
that on the west the land is going on the
sea. The litest startling reminder of this
is a landslip at Whitby, a town on the
sea to the north of Scarborough. The peo
ple living under what is known as the
East Cliff late one night in December last
were rudly aroued from their slumbers by
the cracking of walls and ceilings, which
told them their real estate was about to be
"conveyed" in a manner extremely unsat
isfactory to the owners. The alarm spread
and by moonlight the people prepared to
move their goods. The mass of earth
moved steadily but slowly, and by the next
morninu it had come to rest, a large part
of the next village and the whole of the
village graveyard htd been pushed out to
sea, where the waves were tearing to pieces
the frail houses and preparing their forces
for a new attack on the cliff. Fortunately
the motion of the caving earth was so slow
that there was no loss of life, but the de
struction of property was great. It is
eighty-►ree years since a similar slip oc
curred near Whitby, but elsewhere on the
coast the progress of the sea has been
greater and not less perceptible because
unmarked by extensive caving like that
which has just taken place. On old York
shire maps are still to be seen, beyond the
present coast line, the names of a dozen
places "lost at sea," and authentic record
exists that llornsea, now a coast town, was
once ten miles inland.
Count Moltke.
The most potential man in the world just
now, says the London Lancet, is General
Moltke, and the days of his years are three
score and ten. We will leave military
critics to do justice to the military genius
of - Moltke, and to say where he is to be
placed in comparrison with Grant, Wel
lington, and Napoleon, and Marlborough,
and the older heroes of the world. What
we design now is much more simple, but
equally interesting. The "still strong
man," about whom one hears so little, who
can be "interviewed" only by Bismarck
and by the royal family of Prussia, and
without whom all Bismarck's grand de
signs might have been unavailing, the man
who is renewing the art of war, and con
centrating with such terrible efficiency the
whole force and manhood and discipline of
Germany, is seventy yeers old. The king
of Prussia, himself, is seventy-three, has
made him a count in honor of his seven
tieth birthday; but to us it is far more in
teresting to know that he has reached that
age than to hear that he has become Count
Moltke. Grant is not yet fifty years old.
Marlborough was all dune with war by the
time he was sixty. Napoleon died at the
age of fiftytwo. Wellington's military
career was over before the age which Moltke
began to distinguish himself. Indeed, be
fore the war with Austria, Moltke had
kept his power and genius very much to
himself. Here, then, is a point for physi
ologists, that a man of seventy may alter
the complexion of the world, and the re
lation of nations, and the history of civili
zation; that he may at this age have
physical power of going through arduous
bodily exertion and mental power fur solv
ing the most tremendous military problems.
Meantime, let the eaxmple of Moltke cheer
old men, and make many young men more
modest.
Guard Against Vulgarity.
We especially commend the following
extract to the thoughtful study of the
young. Nothing is so disgusting and re
pugnant to the feelings of the noble and
good as to hear the young, or even the old,
use, profane, low, or vulgar language. The
young of our towns are particularly guilty
of profanity. In our day it seems the
"boy" does not feel himself a "man" unless
he can excel in this great sin. "We
would guard the young against the use of
every word that is not strictly proper. Use
no profane expression—allude to no sen
tence that will put to blush the most sen
sitive. You know riot the tendency of
babitually using indecent awl profane lan
guage. It may never be obliterated from
your heart. When you grow up you will
find at your tongue's end some expression
which you would not use for any money.
It was used when quite young. By using
care you will save yourself a great deal of
mortification and sorrow. Good men have
been taken sick and become delirious. In
these moments they used the most vile and
indecent language imaginable. When in
formed of it after restoration to health,
they had no idea of the pain they caused;
they had learned and repeated the expres
sions in childhood, and though years had
passed since, they had been indellibly
stamped upon the heart. Think of this,
you who are tempted to use improper lan
guage, and never disgrace yourselves."
A Beautiful Sentiment.
Life bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boat a first glides down
the narrow channel through the playful
murmurings of the little brook and the
winding of the grassy borders. The trees
shed their blossoms over our young
heads ; the flowers on the brink seem to
offer themselves to our young hands; we
are happy to hope, and grasp eagerly at
the beauties around us; but the stream
hurries on, and still our hands are empty.
Our course in youth and manhood is along
a wider and deeper flood, and amid objects
more striking and magnificent. We are
animated at the moving picture of enjoy
ment and industry passing around us—are
excited at some short-lived disappointment.
The stream bears us on, and our joys and
griefs are alike left behind us. We may
be shipwrecked—we cannot be delayed ;
whethar rough or smooth, the river hastens
to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing of the waves is
beneath our feet, and the land lessens from
our eyes, and the floods are lifted up
around us, and we take our leave of earth
and its inhabitants, until of farther voyage
there is no witness save the Infinite and
Eternal.
I COMMITTED one fatal error in my youth
and dearly have I abided it. I started in
life without an object, even without an
ambition. My temperament disposed me
to ease, and to the full I indulged the
disposition. I said to myself : "I have all
that I see others contending for ; why
should I struggle ?" I knew not the curse
that lights on those who have never to
struggle for anything. Had I created for
myself a definite pursuit—literally, scien
tific, artistic, social, political, no matter
what, so there was something to labor for
and to overcome—l might have been hap
py. I feel this now—too late ! The power
is gone. Habits have become chains.
Through all the profitless years gone by, I
seek vainly for something to remember
with pride, or even to dwell on with satis
faction. I have thrown away a life. I feel,
sometimes, as if there were nothing re
maining to me worth living for. lam

THE STATE JOURNAL.
THE WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL
Was established at Harrisburg to supply a want
long felt in all parts of the State. No effort willbe
spared to make it an acceptable weekly visitor to
the intelligent families of Pennsylvania. It will
be devoted to Independent Journalism, will defend
and advocate the rights and interests of the people
and will assist every effort to advance the religious
educational, moral and social condition of humani
ty. So long as the Republican party continues to
be, as it now is. more than any other political or
ganization, the enactor and defender of liberal and
impartial laws, the protector of American Labor,
the promotor of American Manufactures, and the
leader in all great reforms, the Journal will advo
cate its principles and defend its policies.
The mining and manufacturing interests of the
State, and the rights of thelaboring men employed
therein, shall always find favor in these columns.
National and State measures proposed and enacted
for the protection of American industry will ever
be urged, advocated, and defended. The latest
news, political, commercial, agricultural and social
from all parts of the world, will be published
weekly.
The proceedings of the Legislature throughout
the session will be reported fully and promptly, so
that the readers of the Journal may know what is
transpiring at the State Capital. The Weekly
Journal, like the Daily, is a first-class newspaper,
thoroughly sound in politics, education, temperance
and religion. It is a good agricultural paper, a
good educalianal paper, a good temperance paper,
a good religious paper, a good family newspaper.,
The Journal is published by the "llarrisbnrg

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number situated at the
upper part of the lion, surrounded fat, and con
sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the In
terior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
GOUT, On RHEUNATISIE—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions.
THE GRAVEL.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain ; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
DROPSY is a collection of water in come parts
of the body, and bears different names, according
to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarca ; when of the
abdomen, Ascites ; when of the chest, Hydrothorax.
TREATMENT.—IiCiIIIbOId'S highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gout

PHILADELPHIA, PA., Feb. 23, 1867.
11. T. llELanot.n, Druggist :
Pear Sir:—l have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experl
encinglittle relief.
Ila;'ing seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regardtouslng your Extract Bachu.
- -
I did this be'ciuse I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no reme
dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of huchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice after an examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value to you,
and more satisfactory to me. ' _
I am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
I hare not used any now for three months, and
fell as well in all respects, as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. Ido not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.
