.v The Art of Farming.
It is easier to farm well than ill. The
man who makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before, and makes
every other kiud of produce double too, is
a happier man than one who plods on,
doing neither better nor worse than the
average ; while the miserable mortal who
impoverishes his land must feel how de
graded a position he stands in, and his
mind must sink lower and lower with his
property. It is no use denying facts, and
the truth is starting from the East, the
land is robbed of more than half its fertili
ty, and still as population moves on so does
the exhausting system. If, when a parish,
a county, or a State is half impoverished, a
stop can be put to the debilitating process,
why not stop at the beginnig ? Why not
reimburse from the start ? This is why
the lour-course system, or some other suit
able rotation, is insisted upon in England.
Poor land is brought to be rich, and good
land is kept up, on the best estates ; yet
there are annually great quantities of fat
cattle and sheep sold from these farms, and
wool cheese, butter, &o , continue to be
produced because there is an art in doing
this so as to improve and increase the
stamina of the soil.
There is no mystery whatever in the
case; for here is a field ofbarley, say grown
after roots ; this barley, probably, sixty
bushels per acre, takes away considerable
from the soil, though, being a quick-grow
ing grain, not so much as other sorts; but
clover tbllows, having been sown with bar
ley. Everybody knows when clover is cut
young the ground is benefitted by produ
cing it ; therefore, if it is mowed twice, and
each time when coming into full bloom,
there will be from the two moorings tons
per acre of matter to be manufactured into
manure, which has not 'Ptakened the land
it grew on, consequent!) this is a renova
ting crop, and has done more in adding fer
tility than the barley did in subtracting ;
next comes the wheat, and that takes more
than the barley did ; but then comes the
intervening root crop, which puts far more
into the soil by being consumed than the
wheat has taken out, and so this easy, plain
system is a fair exposition of all these
which are devised to enable farmers to make
money while sustaining their land.— Venn

Whipping Horses.
There are persons who think that the
spirit and temper of a horse must be bro
ken to make him valuable. Prof. Wagner,
in his work on the “Education of Horses,"
says : . .
I would caution those who train or use
horses against exciting the of the
animal. Many think they are Acting fine
ly, and are proud of their. success in horse
training, by means of severe whipping, or
otherwise rousing and stimulating the pas
sions, and then from necessity, crushing
the will through which the resistance is
prompted. No mistake cm be greater
than this; and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits the ability, judgment and
skill of the real horseman as the care and
tact displayed in winning, instead of re
pelling, the acti in of the wind. Although
it may be necessary to use the whip some
times, it should always be applied judici
ously, and great care should be taken not
to rouse the passions or excite the will to
obstinacy.
"The legitimate and proper use of the
whip is calculated to operate upon the
sense of fear almost entirely. The affec
tions and better nature must be appealed
to in training a horse as well as training a
child. A reproof given may be intended
for the good of the child, but if only the
passions are excited, the effect is depra
ving and injurious. This is a vital prit.ci
ple, and can be disregarded in the man
agement of sensitive, courageous horses
only at the imminent risk of spoiling them,
I have known many horses of naturally
gentle character to be spoiled by being
whipped once, and one horse that was
made vicious by being struck with a whip
once while standing in his stall.
" I have referred to these instances to
show the danger of rough treatment, and
the effect that may be easily produced by
ill usage, especially with the tine blood
horses, and those of a highly nervous tem
perament. Many other cases might be
cited, as such are by no means uncommon.
Sensitive horses should never be left after
they have been excited by whip or other
means until calmed down by rubbing or
patting the bead and neck, and giving ap
ples, sugar or something of which the ani
mal is fond. Remember, the whip must
be used with great care, or it is liable to
do mischief', and may cause irreparable in
jury."
How Soil was Made.
Professor Agassis says that all the ma
terial on which agricultural progress de
pends are decomposed rocks, not so much
those that underlie the soil, but those on
the surface, and brought from a considera
ble distance, and ground to powder by the
rasping of the glaciers. Ice, all over the
continent, is the agent that hasground out
more soil than all other agencies put to
gether. The penetration of water into the
rock, frost, running water and baking suns,
have done something, but the glaciers
more. In a former age the whole United
States was covered with ice several hund•
red feet thick, and this moving from north
to south by the tropical warmth, or press.
ing weight of the ice and snow behind,
ground the rocks over which it passed in
to the paste we call soil. These masses of
ice can be tracked as game is tracked by
the hunter. He has made a study of them
in this country as far south as Alabama,
but has observed the same phenomenon,
particularly in Italy, where among the
Alps, glaciers are now in progress. The
stones and rocks ground and polished by
the glaciers can easily be distinguished
from those that are scratched by running
water- The angular boulders found in
mei** and terraces of rivers not reached
bjr leattr can be accounted for only in this
way. -
IRRIGATING HILL-SIDES.—A corres
pondent of The Country Gentleman,writ
ing from Italy, says : In the mountain
ous countries about Como and Maggiore,
and also in Switzerland, irrigation is also
carried on, but somewhat differently from
the ordinary method, A mountain stream
which passes through a farm is dammed
up every few yards, and the water by backing
up into ditches cut at right angles to the
stream, overflows the field which lies down
hill from the ditch, and so on till it reach
es its proper bed again in the valley below.
This more primitive mode of irrigation
could be resorted to at comparatively small
expense on any of our hilly farms which
have a stream running through them. In
other parts of Europe I have seen artesian
wells with a horse-power pump answer the
same purpose.
REMOVING INK.—"How can I take itk
out of a carpet?" asks a correspondent. If
freshly spilled, sponge up all you can, and
put cold water on repeatedly, taking up
with the sponge as much as possible. Then
rub the spot with a little wet oxalic acid,
or salt o? carrel, and wash off at once with
cold water, and rub on some hartshorn.

MANY CYTIZENS 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 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 failing to get, at the first, the genuine Howe
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 tune 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, Pa., 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.

DR. CROOK'S COMPOUND
SYRUP OP POKE ROOT
Wherever Poke Root grows, it has a local repu

Rheumatism. With all this local reputation, and
the praise of distinguished Physicians, (Dm. Coe,
Lee, King, Wilson, M. Hunt, Oriffits, 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 .o
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
ions monm—for diseases depending on a deprav
ed .landition of the blood,—than any and all other
articles named in the Materia Medica. 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. 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," &c., 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 Syeem, 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 Dlgestion. 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, Inflamation of the Lungs, - Pain in
the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other
painful symptoms, aro 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 moon
perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism and
Clout, 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 am
caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally pro
duced by derangement of the Digestive Organs.
They are a Gentle Purgative 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, Tetter, SAIL
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils,
Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Byes,
Erysipelas, Itch, Sculls, 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.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find
its impuritie:, bursting through the 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.
Crateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitten the
most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pin, Tope, 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 eng aged 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 Fevers, 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
structions 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
- Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous
Inflamations, Indolent Inflamations,Merenrial 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 have
shown their great curative powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable eases.
Walker's California Vinegar Bitters act on
all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolvhig
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 balsamic, healing, and soothing prop
erties protect the humors of the fences. Their
Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous sys
tem, stomach, and bowels, either from inflame
lion, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Ir
ritant influence extends throughout the system.
Their Diuretic properties net 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 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
invigorant.
Directions.—Take of the Bitters ongoing- 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 oat-door exercise. They are
composed of purely vegetable ingredients, and
contain no spirits.
