From rliu North American Farmer.
Trench Plotigltlug.
\s ploughing is one of (it not tin' mo*t)
important operations in agriculture, every
mode of it should be recommended and
tried which promises an improvement,
either in saving of lalmr, or in making more
abundant crops. In some parts o Jen
svlvania, where farming is in a 1 0 - -
of progressive improvement, then; s .
ode of ploughing .-ailed trench plough-
Z. nliicli w V-fttl anil easy performed.
1,1 described by the (• tiladt-lpli a
\<rrieuhural Society Provide a light
plough, from I*2 to l. r > inches wide m the
hack of the sole, so as to pare of the sod
about 3 inches deep. '1 hen astrotig
plough capable of turning a deptli ol
10 inches of mould. This ploughsua,ild
and will require a large team •> * '
j,\en to draw it. A trench must be hr*t
lie^tt"ititended fttrrotv. and turn t. mto the
trench Then again, the trench plough ,
follows over a body of earth so as to bury
-II woods which, by being placed too deep j
for their usual rapid growth, rot aw-ay and
become manure. The tnould-hoaro of the
trench plough should have a tin plate ol
,ron to extend the surface ot the mould
hoard, and accommodate itsclt by flexibili
ty to its curvatures. By this auxiliary the
loose earth is thrown into the trench, and !
the plough will not he liable to choke. |
But all ploughs require clevasses with J
notches, and curvated regulators, to direct j
their depth and course. This kind ol
.doubling should always be performed in !
the autumn, and the field lie all the winter
following to extract whatever it can from
the air. and receive the benefits of the |
frosts and thaws. When ploughed in the
spring, it should be done with a shallow j
small plough. A fallow crop only should
succeed the tirst year's trenching. Indian
corn, perhaps, is the best; as it admits and
requires frequent stirring and exposure of I
ihe soil. Judge Peters was a great advo
cate for this kind of ploughing. He says
'• it is onlv on worn or infested fields that I
recommend this mode of ploughing. The j
l.urving of the old exhausted soil was my j
motive for trench ploughing progressively, j
and I have not now (after an experience of i
vears) a trenched field which is not the j
better for it." It is certain it will not do '
well upon all kinds of soils, but I have j
found (says Judge Peters) it has very
materially benefitted my ground, which is,
most all,"a light loam. And lam also cer
tain. (he adds,) that trench ploughing is
best lor all worn out lands here. I will
make no exception. Whereas in ploughing
ever so deep in any other way, the edges
of the sod are always exposed and liable
to vegetate anew. In trench ploughing,
as I before remarked,) vegetables and ;
weeds are covered too deep for vegetation, i
they cannot force their way through so j
much earth, they must rot away and turn ,
into manure.
torn Übs
The American Farmer says," we believe !
there is one third as much nutriment in a :
bushel of the cobs as there is in a bushel
of grain ; and we know that cows or oxen. I
fed upon three pecks of the crushed and
steamed cobs, in addition to their usual
quantity of hay and fodder, will keep fat." j

HARRIS, TURNER 4- HALE'S
Compound *yrup of Spigelia
or Vegetable Vermifuge,
The most effectual, the safest, jdcasantest
and most convenient Worm Medicine
ever offered to the public.
THE SPIGELIA, says a work of highest authority,
stands at the head of the list of .inthelmintics or Worm
Medicines. It is adapted to a wider range of cases, ami
To a greater variety of constitutions and states of the
constitution, than any other. Hut prepared as it com
monly is, in the form of tea, it can seldom be given to
children in sufficient doses. In Harris, Turner & Hale's
Compound Syrup, it is so concentrated that the dose is
very small, so combined as to ensure a purgative opera
lion, and so palatable as to be taken, not only with ease,
but with positive pleasure.
The precise composition of this syrup and the mode of
preparing it, are the result of a scries of experiments
continued for years. Before offering it for sale, it was
subjected to the test of experience in the hands of emi
nent ph) sicians, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, who have
recommended it in the highest terms, and still empU>y it
m their practice. In addition to this evidence of its rner
ils, we offer the follow selected from a number of un
solicited testimonials.
Ist. A distinguished physician of Virginia, of muck
experience, writes of it thus :
"I should have written before this, but felt disposed
first to try the efficacy of your Vermifuge. I have used
more than half the quantity received,and the experiment
has been most successful, f really believe that it posses
its eidvc.ntngn over an.y oihtr Vtrmifugt I knot ever used.
Independent of the smallness 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 vyhich it may not
be adniiHta.K,re j. Yours, ate."
2d A respectable physician of Lebanon couuty, in ibis
state, writes
" 11 lave been in the habitof prescribing your Compound
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,
3d.—An intelligent merchant of Virginia to whom we
had previously sold the syrup, writes :
"Since my return home, I find that your Syrup of Shi
gella lus ceitie into general uie in this neighborhood. We
have sold what we had on hand, and it gave such satis
faction that it is now called for evey day. You will please
put us up 5 or 6 dozen in a small package, and send to the
care of \Y. Anderson & Co., Richmond, as soon as possi
ble, and forward the bill per mail.—Yours, dtc."
4th. —A respectable merchant of Ohio, on a late visit to
Philadelphia, stated, that some time since he Had been ap
plied to by a customer for a vial of 's Ver
mifuge for Itis son. Not having the article asked for, be
advised a trial of Harris, Turner & Hale's Compound
Syrup of Sptgelia and gave him a part of a bottle which
was all that remained in the store. A day or two after
this the gentleman returning to the store, expressed his
surprise and delight at the effect of the Hyrup, declaring
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 n bottle of ihc Syrup at the tiuie
when his own little daughter died, as he confidently be
lieved it would have saved her life.
slli—A gentleman of Hudson, N. V , having sent a hot
tie of Harris, Turner A llale's Compound Syrup of Spi
gelta, to a young friend v\ ho had tried in vain a great num
ber of worm medicines, writes,thut his friend was imme
diately relieved ; the words of the patient were : " It look
every worm out my body."

"THE TENTH LEGION," published at Woodstock,V.,
j January 10,1A30, said—
" A GREAT MEDICINE."
" We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
' the public any of the various Patent Medicines of th.j
day, unless thoroughly oonviscetbofthei. value. Amot.l
those we consider worthy of notice is the German Bitter
invented by Dr. Ifoojland, and, prepared by Dr. Jacksonj
I in Philadelphia. One icstanae InpaHicular, in which the
superior virtue* of this medicine has been tested, has fa;
lan under cur observation. During the last summer, i
son of MB. ABRAHAM CKABILL, of this county, was my
I seriously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of th,"
Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of his
distressing malady, that he procured another bottle, and
| is restored entirely to.health."'
READ FURTHER A FEW FACTS
FROM "THE WBLDOS HERALD," published at Weldon,
N. C., January 24,1850, which said—
" PA TENT MEDICINES
" It is very seldom that we make any allusion to Patent:
Medicines,eitherapprovtng-orotherwise. 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 fit not even for the dogs. In this state of
things it is hard to tell '.debar*-, and whit-hare not worth
having. If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
time he purchases, he is very apt to condemn the whole
of them ami buy no more, and inv. ntors must only blame
those of their number, (who ignorantly combine plain
medicines together for the purpose of making money.) for
j the ill success which attends the efforts of the deserving "
'• We helieve Dr. C. M. Jackson's 'Hoofland's German
Bitters' to be a most excellent medicine, and one that
| should be highly popular in these days of Temperance ;
I for they are altogether Vegetable in their composition,
j without one drop of. Alcoholic Spirits in them. This rued
: icine is innocent, but strengthening in its effects, and rich
ly deserving of an unbounded popularity, which, when it
becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
JIDCK M. M.NOAH said, in his " WEEKLY MESSSH
' CEB," January 5,1850.
| "i?r. Hooitand's Gtrman Bitters. —Here is a prepara
tion which the leading presses in the Union appear to be
unanimous in recommending, and the reason is obvious
It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the
most celebrated physicians of modern times—the late
I Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Hoofland, professor to the Uni
versity of Jena, private physician to the king of Prussia,
and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever
produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug,
I and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor
ami endorsor may bo confidently relied on. He specially
recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility.
Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, anil all
complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their conviction cf its excellency,and sev
eral of live editors speak of its cherts from tkeix owa indi
viihial exjierb-uce. Under these circumstances, we feel
warranted, not only in railing the attention of our readers
to the present proprietor's (Dr. C. M. Jackson's) prepara
Don, hut in recommending the article to all afflicted."
MORE EYIDEXCE.
The •• Pim.eDEi.rHtA SATURDAY GAMTTB," the best
family newspaper published in the United States. T!o
editor says of
Dr. HooJlantTs German Hitters:
"It is seldom that we recommend what are termed Pat
cnt Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our
readers; and, therefore, when we recommendttr. Hoof
land's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under
stood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day,
that are noised about for a brief period andjthen forgotten
after it has done its guilty race of mischief, but of a med
icine long established, universally prized, and wbicbkxt
met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been received
(like Ike foregoing) from all sections of the
Union, the last three years, and the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot
it used in the practice of the rogular 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
and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it
as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
ach znd liver;"it is preferable to calomel in ail
bilious diseases — the 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 spu
rious article at the risk of the lives of those
who are innocently deceived
Look 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 tire
spurious.
