Our Forests—Great Waste.
The annual products drawn by the peo
ple of the United States from the forests
exceed one thousand millions of dollars, or
eight times the interest on the national
debt I This being the case, the perservation
of our forests and the right method of cut
ting timber, is a matter of general inter
nal interest and of national importance.
To save our timber, we must not only
cut no more than is necessary, but cut in
a proper and economical manner. We
must stop the merciless waste and primi
tive method of chopping with axes, and
use saws scientlically. The forestsof Eu
rope are protected by law, and the removal
of timber is carefully and economically
performed. Not to speak of the decrease
of moisture and other- climatic ohangessu
perinduced by removing trees, let us look
at the matter in a lower aspect, and com
pute the profit and loss.
Probabiy not less than thirty millions
of the people of Am rice are warmed by
wood fuel, consuming more than one hun
dred million cords per annum, as any one
knowing the prodigal use in our newer
timber districts, will certify. If mills,
steamboats, and railroads consume one•
third as much, reckoning the cost at $4
per cord, we have four hundred million
dollars annually for fuel alone. An equal
consumption tiff fencing, and a like amount
of wooden buildings of all kinds, give the
enormous aggregate of one thousand two
hundred millions of dollars annually, pro
duced by our forests for consumption.
When we consider the fencing and farm
buildings required by our more than four
million farmers, if reckoned at one hun
dred and fifty dollars, annually, to each
farm, making six hundred millions of dol
lars, and when the uses of wood arc con
sidered few men who have traveled widely,
and observed and estimated closely, will
deny that more than one hundred million
dollars in products is derived from our
forests annually—five times the value of
our largest cotton crop, ten times the pro
ducts of our pig-iron, twelve times the
production of gold ad silver, and four
times our wheat crop. Indeed, few sin
gle interests exceed in value the enormous
productions of our forests.
.
How to cut timber with saws scientifi
cally may be treated in anotherarticle and
I will only at this time point out some of
the advantages over the wasteful and
primitive ax. First, saw the tree down ;
they can be cut closer and with more econ
omy than by chopping, and by the use of
wedges felled in any desired direction.
They can be cut with less labor, it the op
erator knows how and uses the most im
proved saw If the tree be designed for
fuel, the saving by sawing in the length
desired on the ground in the forest is man
ifest. If stove wood, the blocks may be
carted without splitting, and when thus
sawed, trees that any chopper would leave
to rot in the forest, become instantly avail
able ; for who does not know that a one
foot block may be split easier than one of
four feet, besides saving the immense
was e of a chip a loot in width ? From one
third to one quarter of the trees in many
forests are what woodmen regard as "culls,'
and tough timber; this added to the sav
ing of the chips, makes full one third of
the forests available for fuel that other
wise might be wasted and remain an ob
struction and incumbrance. Those who.
like the writer, are conversant with this
matter, will appreciate this statement,
made from actual experience.
Saw logs and dimension timber, fencing,
posts: etc., in the Northern States are now
usually sawed, but in a recent trip through
all the Southern States (except Texas) I
noticed in mills and lumber yards the
ends of saw logs cut with axes; indeed,
is the method of mills there, but improved
methods will so:m prevail everywhere in
all wood cutting.
. . .
Now let us consider the time and labor
in sawing instead of chopping. To cut
one hundred million cords of wood with
the ax requires as many days' labor, and
as many dollars; if the use of baud cross
cut saws be substituted, and only one-half
the labor be saved, the fifty millions now
thrown away are gained, besides the im
mense waste of fuel, making in the two
items an annual saving of an amount
equal to the national debt.—American

Duration of Vitality in Grain
"A Young Farmer" inquires if seed of
the different kinds of grain a year or more
old, will grow as well as fresh seed. Our
answer would be, always sow seed as fresh
as it can be had, for although, some seed
will germinate after it has been kept years,
yet these arc exceptions. We do not know
of any distinct experiments on old and
new grain, except it be a single trial which
we made in pots. Fresh seed wheat was
sown in pots in autumn, one inch deep,
and kept properly moist. In another pot,
subjected to the same temperature and the
same degree of moisture, was sown wheat
kept over one year. In other pots, seed
five years old, was sown under similar cir
cumstances. The first or fresh seed came
up in eleven days, the weather being rather
cool; the second seed, one year old, come
in thirteen days. The five-year seed in
the other pots came up irregularly, the
first in eighteen days, and afterwards for
nearly a month The grains of all were
counted when placed in the earth, and the
result was that all the fresh seed grew ; all
or nearly all the one year; • but one-half
the five-year seed never grew at all. From
these limited experiments, we may infer
that fresh seed is always the best ; if only
a year old it may do well, although the
plants will hardly have the vigor of the
first • but seed several years old should be
employed only for preserving or securing
some desirable variety. We hope some of
our readers will repeat the experiment on
oats, barley, Ste., by accurately eountiug,
measuring depth, recording dates, Sze,—
Country Gentleman.

How Deep to Plant Seed.
On this subject the monthly report of
the Department of Agriculture says;
"The proper depth to plant seed is a
question of considerable importance. and
one which, like many other similar ques
tions relating to plant growth, cannot re
ceive a definite answer that would be of
general or universal application. In dry
sandy soils, situated in dry climates, a
deeper covering will be required than
would be judicious where both soil and
climate indicate the reverse of these
conditions. For instance, it has been
shown that peas continue longer in bear
ing condition on sandy soils, when sown at
a depth of 6 inches, than they to whom
placed nearer the surface ; and it is said
that the Indians on the table-lands of the
Colorado plant corn 10 to 12 inches below
the surface with the best results; but if
planted with only 1 or 2 inches of cover
ng, fails. Seeds also vary in their ability
to penetrate depths of soil in generating.
Leguminous seeds, and some of the largest
seeding gramineoe, can be planted deeper
than those of a lighter character. It has
been given as a general rule that all seeds
germinate most speedily, when covered
with a depth of soil equal to their own
thickness, and where the constant presence
of sufficient moisture for germination ca❑
be maintained; this rule is, perhaps, as
nearly correct as any that can be given."

WARNING
, v, TIM 6,4
MANY CrrunNs of this county who, bad 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 not been 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 tailing to get, at the first, the genuine hoer
Mochine. 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 he 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 the di
rect, or inquire of agents for the famous Elks
Howe, machine, from Brown's Carpet More, Hun
tingdon, Pa., anti 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
Rheumatism. With all this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Drs. Coe,
Lee, King, Wilson, M. bunt, Griffits, 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
ite merits, as a knowledge of the proper way to
prepare it for medical use. Dr. Oliver Crook, (a
physician who devotes his entire timeto 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
none imam—for diseases depending on a deprav
ed condition of the blood,—than any and all other
articles named in the Materia 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.

INEGAR BITTERS-PURELY
'VEGETABLE-FREE FROM ALCOHOL
DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERS.
Vinegar Bitters 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 hitters 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 ludgestion. 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, Inliamation 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 Complaints, in yoting or old, mar
ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the
tura of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided
an influence that a marked improvement is soon
perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuniatisni and
Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent F,vers, 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 (Jodie Puryatire as well as a Tonic,
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 Disease; Eruptions, Totter, Salt
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils,
Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes,
Erysipelas, Itch, Scarfs, Discoloration, 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 short time by the use
of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative
effects.
Cleauae the Vitiated Blood whenever you find
its impuritie, bursting throughthe shin 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 Ins igorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
more effectually than any
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 anthelminities, 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, as a preventive.
Bilious, 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
atructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable
state of the stomach, and great torper 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 Intimations, Mercurial Af
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore
Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitu
tional Diseases, Walker's Vinegar Bitters bare
shown their great curative powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable cases.
that it has been
complaints.
Le. Walker's California Vinegar Bitterer 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, Aperient and mild Laxative proprieties of
Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are the best safe
guard in all cases of eruptions and maglignant
fevers, their bslsamie, healing, and soothing prop
erties protect the humors of the Canoes. Their
Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous sys
tem, stomach, and bowels, either from intima
tion, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Ir
ritant influence extends throughout the system.'
Thisir 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.
. . . .
PERFUMERY,
Fortify the body against disease by purifying all
its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can
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 vigoran t.
Direction/I.—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.
