Oa the Use of Mules.
1. M ulcs on a general average, li ve more
than twice as long as horses. They are
lit for service from three years old to thirty.
At twelve a horse has seen his best days
and is going down hill, hut a mule at that
nee has scarcely risen out of his colthood,
and goes on improving till he is I went}.
Instances arc recorded of mules living
sixty or seventy years, but these are ex
.j.t'ions. The general rule is that they
avenge thirty.
g. Mules are never exposed to disease
as "horses are. Immense sums of money
are annually lost in the premature death
-of high spirited horses by accident and
disease. The omnibus lines in the city
of New York have not been aide to sus
tain their losses, and are beginning to use
mules, as less liable by far even to acci
dent as well as disease. This results
from the next consideration which is that,
3. Mules have organs of vision and
hearing far superior to those ot the horse.
Hence thev seldom shear, and frighten,
and run oil". A horse frightens, because
he imagines he sees something, but a
.mile, having superior discernment, both
bv the eve and ear, understands every
thing he "meets, and therefore is safe.
For the same reason lie is sure looted,
and hence more valuable in mountainous
rt gions, and on dangerous roads. I doubt
whether on the Alpine paths a mule ever
made a misstep, lie may have been de
ceived in the firmness of the spot where
he get his foot, but not in the propriety of
die choice, all appearances considered.
4. The mule is much more hardy than
the horse. A pair of these animals owned
bv a neighbor of mine, although small in
size, will plough more land in a week than
four horses. Their faculty of endurance
is almost incredible.
5. Another very important fact is, that
in the matter of food, a mule will live and
thrive on less than one-halt it takes to :
keep a horse. The horses of England j
-at this present time, are consuming grain j
which would save the lives of thousands j
of British subjects. In a national point of j
view, the agricultural interest is so great ;
that the greater the demand for grain of;
all kinds, the better for the farmer. But j
yet individual farmers, who are in debt,
and whose land is not improved, would I
find it profitable, in the course of ten
years, to have the labor of a full team,
and sate one-half and more of the food
necessary to keep it up, as might be the
case in substituting mules for horses.—
A tiv York Fanner a/ul Mechanic.
Seed Wheat*
The late Rev. Henry Colman, some
years since, in his 44 Notes by the Way,"
related the following anecdote of a farmer
in Vermont, who always obtained a high
price for his seed wheat called 44 barrel
wheat"—his neighbors resorting to him
for their seed, and paying as high as S.'i
per bushel. The wheat was, in fact, supc- !
rior in appearance, productiveness, and !
early maturity. The secret was at last ;
discovered, when those who had been in j
the habit of paying him three prices, j
availed themselves of his practice of mak
ing 44 barrel wheat" for themselves, and
they saved the difference in price.
The fanner in question used, before
threshing his wheat, to select the best
sheaves, and striking them over the head
of an open barrel three or four times be
fore laying them down to be threshed, ob
tained in this way a suj>urior seed. As, in
shis way, the largest earliest white kernels
would be shaken out and fall into the bar
rels, he obtainecj wjfat might be consid
ered a select seed, which he denominated
his 44 barrel wheat," and which until the
farmers heard how to do it for themselves,
found it to their advantege in purchasing."
The hint contained in the above anec
dote, may, we think, he profitably availed j
bv wheat growers generally.

< oiiipoiiiiri Syrup of Spigelia
r Aerminigc,
The most effectual, the safest, pleasantest
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered 'o the public.
TtHE HPICELIA, SAYS a work of highest authority,
ettind* at the head <f Ike list of .intAelmintict or Worm
Medicinee. It ia adapted to a wider range of rase*, and
; to a greater variety of constitutions and states of the
constitution, than any other, llut prepared as it com
monly is, in the firm of tea, it can addon, be given to
j children in sufficient doses. In Harris, Turner Si Hale's
Colfrpound Syrup, u is so concentrated that the dose is
very small, so combined as to ensure a purgative opera
i tion, and so palatal.) ■ as to be taken, not only with cose,
; but with jiositive pleasure.
j The precise composition of this syrup ami the mrd ■of
, preparing it, arc the result of a series of experiments
j continued for years. Before offering it for sale, it was
i subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emi
-1 nent physicians, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who have
; recommended it in the highest terms, and still employ it
in their practice. In addition to this evidence of its mer
| its, we off.-r the following, selected from a number of un
\ solicited testimonials.
Ist A distinguished physician of Virginia, of much
: experience, writes of it thus:
j "I should have written before this, but felt disposed
j first to try the efficacy of your Vermifuge. I have used
j more than half the quantity received,and the experiment
i has been most successful. I really believe that it posses
ses advantage* aver any alher Vermifuge I hare ever used.
Independent of the smullncss of the dose, and the plea
santness of the syrup (great advantages in dosing chil
| dren) the advantage of administering it under a variety
of circumstances, enhances its value; indeed there is
! scarcely a condition of the system in which it may not
j be administered. Yours,&c."
; 2d. A respec table physician of Lebanon county, in this
! state, writes—
| " I have been in the habitof prescribing your Compound
I Syrup of Spigelia for some time past, and have found it
: an excellent worm medicine, particularly for children. —
Please forward per bearer 2 doz bottles —Yours, Ac ''
3d.—An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we
j had previously sold the syrup, w riles:
"Since my return home, 1 tiud that your Syrup of Spi
gelia has come into general use in this neighborhood \Y<
have sold what we bad on hand, and it gave such satis
; faction that it is now called lor evey day Y'-n will please
put us up or ti dozen in u small p rrkig-, and send to the
j rare of \V. Anderson SL CO., |{n itaioiid. is soon is possi
ble, and forward the bill per mail Yours, Ate."
'lth. A respectable merchutil of Ohio, on u lale visit to
! Philadelphia, staled, that some tune sine- lie b id been up
' |>lled to by a customer for a vial ol "s Ver
mifuge for bis son. Not having the article asked for. he
! advised a trial of Harris, Turner A Hale's Compound
! Byrup of Hpigelia and gave him a part of a battle which
' was all that remained in the store. A day or two alter
| Hits the gentleman returning to the store, expressed his
j surprise and delight at the effect of tin Syrup, declaring
i it had expelled 200 worms and entirely relieved his son
; The merchant added an expression of his great regret that
! he had not had on hands a bottle of the Syrup at the time
; when liis own little daughter died, as ho confidently be
i lieved it would have saved her life.
5lh —A gentleman of Hudson, N. V , having sent a hot
■ tleof Harris, Turner & Hale's Compound Syrup of Sp,-
i gelia, to a young friend who h:ul tried in vain a great num
ber of worm medicines, writes, that bis friend was imme
! diately relieved ; the words of the patient were : "It took

" It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Patent
Medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunately '
for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven
tors and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming
flooded with quack preparations, that are made alone for
profit and are tit not even for the dogs. In this state of
things it is hard to tell which are, and which are not worth
having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
time he purchases, he is very tipl to condemn the whole
oflhem and buy no more, and inventors must only blame
those of their number, (who ignoiantly combine plain
medicines together for the purpose of making money,) for
the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving."
" We believe Dr. C M. Jackson'* ' Hoofla lid's German
Bitter*' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that
should be highly popular in these day* of Temperance;
for they are altogether I'egctahlc in their composition,
without one drop of .dteoll otic Spirit/ in them. This med
irinr i* innocent, but strengthening in its effects, and rich
ly deferring of an unbounded popularity, which,avhen it
liecotne* known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
JrnoE M. M. NOAH said, in his " VVKKKI.\ MESSEN
CE*," January 5, !-*5<V
" l>r Hoaftand's Clerman Finer*. Hi re is a prepara
tion which the leading presses in the Tuion appear to be
unanimous in recommending, and tb- reason is obvious.
It is made after n prescription furnished by one of the
most celebrated pliysii ians of modern times the late
Dr ("hrislo(ilii r Wilbelm Hooflind, prof< ssor to the I"ni
verslty of Jena, private i h> -i. i.ni to the king of Prussia,
and one of tle greati st medical w rite i Germany has ever
produced. lie was emphatically the enemy of
and therefore a medicine of whirh he was tlie inventor
and enilorsor may ho confidently relied on. He speel ally
recoiuniended it in I iver Complaint, Dysp psi i, Debility,
Vertigo. Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all
complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their conviction of its excellency, ami sev
eral of the editors s{a-ak of it* effects from their own indi
vidual experience. Under these circumstUHces, we feel
warranted, not only in calling the attention of our readers
to the present proprietor's (Dr (.'. M Jackson's) prepara
tion, but iu recommending the article to nil afflicted."
MORE EVIDESCE.
The i( PHILADELPHIA SATIBDAV GAZBTTK," the best
family newspaper published in the United States. The
editor says of
Dr. HooflantTs Herman liitlcrs:
" It is seldom that we recommend what arc termed Pat
ent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our
readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof
land's German Hitters, we wish it to be distinctly tinder
stood that tve are not speaking of the nostrums of the day,
tlmt are noised about for a brief period nndphen forgotten
after it has done its guilty race of mischief,but of a med
icine long established, universally prized, and which has
met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been received
(iike the foregoing) from all sections of the
Union, the last three years, ami the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot
it used in the practice of the regular Physi
cians of Philadelphia than all other nostrums
combined, a fact that can easily be established,
and fully proving that a scientific preparation
will meet with their quiet approval when pre
sented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint
in.i Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it
as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
ach md liver; it is preferable to calomel in all
bilious diseases —t ho effect is immediate.
They can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.
This medicine has attained that high charac
ter which is necessary for all medicines to at
tain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a -"pii
rious article at the risk of ihe lives of those
who arc innocently deceived
hook well to the marks of the genuine.
They have the written signature of C. M.
JACKSON upon the wrapper, and the name
blown in the bottle, without which they are
spurious.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY:
Messrs. Holtstander A- Co.. respectable merchants of
Oberlin, Lorain Go., Ohio, wrote December 19, 1." : "Af
ter allowing the Brant's Medicines which you sent to us. to
remain at Cleveland about three months, wo sent tor tliem.
We have been so often deceived by such medicines not
proving to lie equnl to their recommendations, and therefore
would not sell, when their wnnt of efficacy was known,
that we considered it unprofitable to keep such, mid were
therefore prejudiced against Brant's, supposing it to be no
better than many others we have on sale. After we had
received Brant's. I. (A. Holtstander) was persuaded from
reading the pamphlet to take a bottle of the Pulmonary Bal
sam home. My wife had been afflicted with a severe cough
for about ten months, and our friends were alßnncd and
fearful thnt she would find nothing to relieve or cure her.
But notwithstanding our prejudices to patent medicines,
we are ofhged to say, and cheerfully confess, that HEART'S
BALSAM and PUKIFYIXO EXTRACT, can he depended on ia
preference to any or all ot the many kinds that have hecn
left with us for sale. My wife was immediately relieved
in her cough, and la-fore she had finished using the first
bottle, began to gain strength and health, and only threa
bottles effected a perfect cure. The Puairviso EXTRACT
I have personally used for a general debility of the system,
and 1 have no hesitanay in saying that it is the best medi
cine to restore and invigorate the system, that I have ever
found. In every instance where we have sold these medi
cines they have proved their efflcacy, and given the Lest
satisfaction."
