Gapes in Chickens.
As before another issue some of the
young spring chickens may be on hand,
we bring forward again the most success
ful remedy, as a preventive, which some
of our prominent poultry raisers tell us
they have fully tested, viz : keeping them,
while young , on the barn floor or other
well shelterd place, where they will be
under perfect control, and prevented from
running out in the wet grass. Young
chickens so protected are seldom troubled
with the gapes; and where there is a root
over them, and a warm southern exposure,
admitting sun and light, but keeping out
cold winds and sudden changes of the
weather, they begin early and continue
to thriving, without having any backsets.
They get exercise without exposure. In
fact, younc , ' chickens are like young plants
or trees. Continuous thriving should be
the word; no interruption. If stunted
or checked in growth by unfavorable sur
roundings, they seldom recover their prop
er status, and both plants and animals,
under such circumstances, are more liable
to attack of disease.
The gapes, so called, are the most fatal
enemy to poultry, because attacking them
when very young and least able to resist.
How the nit from which the worm is
hatched finds its way into the trachea, or
when deposited there, seems to be unde
termined; but bringing them up on a
barn floor, where a narrow board will ex
clude them from getting out, and where
sun and air can be admitted, seems a pre
ventative, so far as we can hear; and will
answer the purpose on farms where thera
is no regular poultry house, with glass
front and roof.—Practical Farmer.
Dyeing Sheepskins
M. M. Lovell, of the Country Gentle
man, gives the following recipe for color
ing sheepskins :Unslacked lime and lither
age, equal parts, mixed to a thin paste
with water, will color buff; several coats
will make it a dark brown ; by adding a
little ammonia and nitrate of silver, a fine
black is produced. Terra Japonica will
impart a tan color to wool, and the red
shade is deepened by sponging with a so
lution of lime and water, and using a
strong solution of alum water to set the
colors. One part of crystalized nitrate of
silver, 8 parts of carbonate of ammonia,
and 11 parts of soft water, dyes brown ;
every additional coat darkens the color
until a black is produced.
If long, it would be an improvement to
shear the wool somewhat before dying.
The same paper recommends cutting
timber for fence in midsummer.
Give the part to be put under ground a
coating of gas tar, or thrust the end in a
large boiler for a few minutes filled with
hot gas tar.
To Prepare Lime Whitewash
Lime whitewash is made f m lime well
slacked. Dissolve two pounds and a half
of alum in boiling water, and and it to
every pailful of whitewash. Lime white.
wash s ululd be used very thin, and when
it is sufficiently bound on the wall by
means of alum, two thin coats will cover
the work better; this may be used for the
first coat thinned with water. Most white
washers apply their wash too thick, and
do not mix a proportionate quantity of al
um to bind it; consequently the operation
of the brush rubs off the first coat, in vari
ous parts, and leaves an uneven surface,
and the original smooth surface of the
wall is entirely destroyed.
Make Your Trees Branch Low,
Train your pear trees for garden or
fielo use so that they will branch at a dis
tance of one or two feet from the ground.
The advantages are easily enumerated :
1. It is easy to trim.
2. It is easy to gather the fruit.
3. Falling fruit is little injured.
4. All branches being sturdy will not be
strained by overbearing or overweight of
fruit. _ .
5. Soil will be kept shaded and moist.
6. The trunk will be protected from the
scorching sun.
7. The tree will grow more and more
beautiful.—Horticulturist.
Voraoity in Horses,
A subscriber to Hearth and Home, who
has a horse thin in flesh, but with an enor
mous appetite, which prompts him to eat
the litter, asks what to do about it. This
inordinate appetite is a symptom of disease
in the digestive organs, or cf the presence
of worms. If no worms have been observ
ed, the first may be supposed to be the
cause. A simple remedy is to feed to the
horse a handful of wood-ashes, one ounce
of sulphur, an ounce of common salt, mix
ed in his feed every other day.
Hearth and Home is the authority for
the following; Historical records show
that up to 1632 there were no horses in
New England, and their introduction into
New Netherlands, now New York, occur
red during the administration of Governor
Von Twiller, in 1633-38.—Trumbull's
History of Connecticut mentions the horse
as accompanying emigrants, from Massa
chusetts to the State, October 15, 1636.
The first horse seen in Canada was brought
to that country from France in a ship
which arrived at Tauoussac, June 20,
1647. It is estimated that there are now
in this country eight millions of horses,
valued at between two and three thousand
millions of dollars, a sum ample to pay the
national debt.
ANY and every farmer, who by the use
of his reasoning powers, is enabled to raise
one bushel of corn per acre more than
he has hitherto done, by improved meth
ods, is a scientific farmer, however much he
may disown the name ; and not only has
he done a good thing for himself, but the
world at large is, to some extent, better
for his efforts and success ; his mission. as
a man, has been to that extent fulfilled,
and he will leave the world better than be
found it.—Hearth and Home.
FOR A Cotroi—Take two ounces of
sarsaparilla bark, one ounce of sassafras
chips, two ounces of Spanish chips, one
quarter of an ounce of genitan root, and
two tablespoonfuls of linseed. Let this
be simmered in three pints of water until
reduced to a quart. Then strain it. and
put it up. For a dose take a tablespoon
ful three times a day. In about a week,
if not cured, increase the dose to a wine
glassful three times a day.
SOAP.—A young lady, who makes all
the family soap, gives the following recipe
for a good cheap article : Add tolo quarts
of water, 6 pounds of quicklime (shell
lime is the best), and 6 pounds common
washing soda. Put all together and boil
for half an hour, and let it stand all night
to clear. Draw off the lye, and add to it
1 pound rosin, and seven pounds of fat
(any fat will do). Boil this for half an
hour, then let it stand till cool and cut in
to bars.
IT is claimed that rats may be prevent
ed from gnawing harness by mixing with
the oil applied, a little cayenne pepper, say
a teaspoonful to the quart.

A FEW REASONS
WHY THE

The ARION PIANO-FORTE has greater power
than any other Piano-Forte manufactured.
It will Stand in Tune Longer,
and in its mechanical construction it is more per
fect, and, therefore,moro durable, than any instru
ment constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agraffe, the manner of
stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL OTHERS
The use of a bar (which is a part of the Iron
Frame on a line with the heavy steel stringing,)
gives
GREAT STRENGTH
where most needed, and in this respect all other
pianoes fail.
The construction of the WREST PLANE, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often tho case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness

WARNING
I,kr esiv
Matey CrrIZENS of this county who, had been
persuaded to buy other kinds of Sewing Machines,
which seemed at first to work well on a tolerable
range of work, have expressed to me their regrets
that the genuine original Elias Howe Sewing Ma
chine—the best in the world—had notheen brought
to their notice before purchasing. And judging
from the number of offers I have, to trade Howe
machines for all other kinds, I estimate that the
people of this county have lost more than $20,000
by failing to get, at the first, the genuine Hence
Machine. It is made on sound mechanical prin
ciples, avoids rickety cog-wheels, and is so con
structed. as to have perfect control by adjustment,
and provision made to restore lost motion when it
wears, thereby securing extraordinary durability,
and adaptation to the greatest range of work. Now
as my traveling agents may not be able to visit
every person in time, and as many inferior ma
chines of different kinds are still being urged on
the public, I hereby GIVE NOTICE, that before
you spend your time or money on any other ma
chine, the safest plan is, either to write to me di
rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Elias
Howe, machine, from Brown's Carpet Store, Hun
tingdon, P., and take no agents word for it, that
the machine is genuine, unless it has the medal
lion at the head of this article, imbedded in the
bed plate of every machine

SYRUP OF POKE ROOT
Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu
tation as a Blood Purifier, and for the cure of
Rheumaticsm. With all this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Coe,
Lee, King, Wilson, M. Hunt, Griflits, Copland and
others,) who have tested its medical powers; it
has been neglected by the profession at large, as
much through a want of a proper appreciation of
its merits, as a knowledge of the proper way to
prepare it for medical use. Dr. Oliver Crook, (a
physician who devotes his entire time to the duties
of his profession), has fully tested the active med
ical qualities of Poke Root during the last 25
years, and unhesitatingly pronounces it to have
MURE MERIT—for diseases depending on a deprav
ed condition of the blood,—than any and all other
articles named in the Alateria Medics. Under his
instructions our Chemists have combined the ac
tive medical qualities of Poke Root with the best
Tonic Preparation of Iron, and we offer this prep
aration to the public under the above name.

VINEGAR BITTERS—PURELY
VEGETABLE—FREE FROM ALCOHOL—
DR. WALKER'S CALIFORNIA VSNEGAR BITTERS.
Vinegar Bitter, are not a vile Fancy Drink, made
of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please
the taste, called '•Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restor
ers," Ac., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness
and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the
native roots and herbs of California, free from all
Alcoholic Stimulents. They are the Great Blood
Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Perfect
Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carry
ing off all poisonous matter and restoring the
blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refresh
ing and invigorating both mind and body. They
are easy of administration, prompt in their action,
certain in their results, safe and reliable in all
forms of disease.
No Person can take these Bitters according to
directions, and remain long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the
point of repair.
Dyspepsia or ludgertion. Headache, Pain in the
Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz
ziness, Sour Fructations of the Stomach, Bad
Taste in the Mouth, Billions Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Infatuation of the Lungs, Pain in
the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other
painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Depepsia.
In these complaints it has no equal, and one bot
tle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than
a lengthy advertisement.
For Female Complaint*, in young or old, mar
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided
an influence that a marked improvement is soon
perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism and
Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters
have been most successful. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally pro
duced by derangement of the Digestive Organs.
They are a Gentle Purgatire as teen an a Tonle,
possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a
powerful agent in relieving Congestion of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.

For Skin Disca#e; Eruptions,
Tetter, Salt
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils,
Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes,
Erysipelas, Itch, Sculls, Disco!orations of the
Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of what
ever name or nature, are literally dug up and car
ried out of the system in a ehort time by the use
of these Bitters. One bottle in such eases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.'
-----
Clean. the Vitiated Blood whenever you find
its impurities bursting through the skin in Pim
ples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find
it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the
most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished phy
siologist: There is scarcely an individual upon
the face of the earth whose body is exempt from
the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy
elements of the body that worms exist, but upon
the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed
these living monsters of disease. No system of
Medicine, no vermifuge, no anthelminitics, will
free the system from worms like these Bitters.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged in Paints
and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life,
will be subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To
guard against this take a dose of Walker's Vinegar
Bitters once or twice a week, es a preventive.
Remittent and Intermittent Ferers, which
are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially those of
the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennes
see, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos.
Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,
Roanoke, James, and many others, with their
vast tributaries, throughout our entire country
during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably
so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness,
are invariably accompanied by extensive derange
ments of the stomach and liver, and other abdom
inal viscera. There are always more or less ob
,tructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable
state of the stomach, and great teepee of the bow
els, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations.
In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a power
ful influence upon these various organs, is essen
tially necessary. There is no cathartic for the
purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at
the same time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy func
tions of the digestive organs.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, Ul
cers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous
Inflamations, Indolent Infatuations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore
Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitu
tional Discus.% Walker's Vinegar Bitters have
shown their great curative powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable oases.
Dr. Walker's CalVornitt l'ineyur Bitters act on
all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving
away the effects of the inflamation (the tubercular
deposits) the affected parts receive health, and a
permanent cure is effected.
The properties of Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters
are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative, Nu
tritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Ir
ritant Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.
The, ,Aperien , and mild Laxative proprieties of
Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are the best safe
guard in all cases of eruptions and maglignant
fevers, their balsamic, healing, and soothing prop
erties protect the humors of the latices. Their
Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous sys
tem, stomach, and bowels, either from inflates
lion, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Ir
ritant influence extends throughout the system.
Their Diuretic properties act on the Kidneys, cor
recting and regulating the flow of urine. Their
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the
secretion of bile, and its discharges through the
bibliary ducts, and are superior to all remedial
agents, for the cure of Bilious Fever, Fever and
Ague, etc.
Fortify the body against disease by purifying all
its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic ran
take hold of a system thus forearmed. The liver,
the stomach, the bowels. the kidneys, and the
nerves are rendered disease-proof by this great
in v igoran t.
Directions.—Take of the Bitters on going to
bed at night from a half to one-and-a-half wine
glass full. Eat good nourishing food, such as beef
steak, mutton chop, venison, roast beef, and veg
etables, and take out-door exercise. They are
composed of purely vegetable ingredients, and
contain no spirits.
