Useful Suggestions.
The number of the Pennsylvania Farm
Journal, for the past month, is a very ;
excellent one, containing many well-writ
ten and useful articles upon the all-im
portant subject of Agriculture. We do not
know what better service we can offer to
our agticultural readers, this week, than
to give the spirit of the principal articles:
Change of Seed. Or. A. L. Elwvn.
of Philadelphia, has a strong article on the ;
subject of the frequent changing of seed, j
and thinks that often the failure of crops .
may be directly attributable to imperfect
or unproductive seed.
• Seed,' lie says, designed for sowing or
planting, •should be perfectly ripe or ina- 1
tured, and then carefully preserved, so that i
it may not suffer the slightest deterioration,
before being put into the ground. Imperfect
or badly matured seed, unquestionably ;
tends to disease.' lie thinks that were
the rule always observed, of sowing aud
planting the bent, the same as in breeding
animals from the best, ' there would be !
less necessity for the frequent change of
seed, which is now considered almost es- •
sential.'
Small and Largf. Potvtof.s for Seed. '
—A correspondent recommends large.
over small potatoes for planting, lie
says —'Small potatoes arc very frequently 1
of second growth. It is well known to
those who grow potatoes, that the first
growth is always the most vigorous and
decidedly the largest, so that the second
or small potatoe growth, does not seem to
possess, in as great a degree, the re-pro
ductive properties requisite to the perfect- I
ton of the plant as the first.' Besides, i
he considers that the second growth al- j
ways affects the first growth, and causes
them to rot. He therefore selects his po
tatoes for planting before the second
growth takes place, and is satisfied that, by
so doing, *he insures himself perfectly
against the rot.'
Wheat Celtere.—The Hon. Freder
ick \\ atts, contributes a good article on
this subject. He thinks that when the
land intended lor wheat is to be enriched
by turning in clover, it should be plowed
in before harvest to allow it time to fer
ment before the ground is again stirred
previous to sowing. He thinks that any
green substance turned in at a later period,
would heat and sour the soil, and operate
to prevent a healthful germinatian of the
seed.—The time of sowing should always
be regulated by a proper condition of the
ground, it being neither too wet nor too
dry, <ke., &c. He continues :
' W heat, with us, is now almost uni
versally put in with a drill. It is sufficient
to say in commendation of this mode that
all the seed you use is actually planted
and covered just at the depth which the
exigencies of your soii and your own
judgement dictate. The implement, if a
good one, places this subject entirely with
in your own control. But there is another
advantage, of which our experience en
ables us to speak, that ot harrowing
wheat in the spring as early as the con
dition of the ground will allow. We
have practiced this for several years with
decided advantage, not only because of the
benefit which the growing wheat derives
from it, but of the admirable condition in
which it puts the ground for the reception
of the clover-seed which is usually sowed
at this period. If the ground be harrowed,
the clover-seed be then sowed, and a roller
ot considerable weight passed over the
whole, it will be an extraordinary and un
favorable season, if your stubble after
harvest be not well set with clover.'
He uses the improved double harrow
for this purpose, and says there need be
no fear ot injuring the wheat crop. The
common square harrow he condemns as a
very # inefficient implement, for this or any
purpose.
Corn vs. Wheat.—• E. 11.,'0f Lan
caster county, argues in favor of cultivat
ing corn instead of wheat, as being more
profitable. He thinks that 80 bushels of
corn per acre should be raised by all farm
ers, and the wheat be put down at lib or
30 ; the difference in the cost of cultivat
ing the corn over wheat, lie supposes
would not be as great a3 the profit the
other way ; but knows nothing positively.
Hedging — Stall Pasturing, &E.
4 E. L. T.,' gives his views about fencing,
hedging and stall pasturing, or soiling. He
advocates hedges for fences, but we cannot
luid in his experiments anything worthy of
attention. Hedges, in our opinion, never
will be adopted bv the farmers of this
country. As to stall pasturing, he says:
' Instead of turning my cattle into past
ure during the summer, I keep them in
my cattle yard, where sheds have been
erected to protect them from the heat of
the sun, and the rain, &c. Twice a dav,
morning and evening, a sufficient amount
of grass is cut and curried into a shed,
from which it is divided out to the cattle.
advantages are two fold. First, a
saving of pasture, as I f,„d that a little
more than one-half will answer the pur
pose, v hde the cattle are in just as tirie a
condition as when permitted to run in the
fields. Second, the manure is all kept
together in the yard, and as I make it a
point to have it collected every morning
and thrown under a shc-d erected lor the
purpose, I find immense advantage in this
particular.
• It appears to me that this plan might
he adopted, and by the means of it obviate
the necessity of at least one half ol the
fencing now absolutely required upon our
farms. Ihe expense of cutting, carting
and feeding the grass, will be repaid by
the smaller amount of pasture required,
and the great advantage of having the ma
nure durmg the hot months under sheds,
instead of being exposed to the wasting
influences of sun, rain, <fcc.'

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fever antl Astie Pills.
l ...
THESE PILLS arc composed entirely of Yegt-iaule
, substances, and in ninty-ninecases out of every liun
i Jred, will perforin a perfect and Complete cure in three
j days. No instance has ever been known, where more
j lhaii six days have been required to perforin a complete
j cure, even in the very yvorst cases, and on the strongest
; constitutions. We would earnestly say tu all yy ho are
| afflicted yvith this distressing disease, to get one box and
j try them, ami in ail cases, two boxes are warranted l<>
i eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money
■ returned.
I These pills not only perform a perfect cure in three
| days, but remove the bile and create a healthy iction of i
| the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a
i future attack.
A LSO,
My Vegetable Anti-Dyspepsia Bitters.
| This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its t
j very worst forms. Thousands of cases have lieen com- 1
j pleteiy cured by it within the last year, yvliich have
) been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi
| cians. We do not recommend il to cure everything—we
1 recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the diseases origi
| Mating from it, and that it yvill cure in almost every case. :
and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in
stances, even tile worst of cases have been completely i
cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat i
\ npon the constitution of the patient. We would say-to
! all who are atilicted yvith Dyspep>ia, give this medicine
j a fair trial, and if it fails to do good, your money yvill be
I returned.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Worm Powders.
This is the most wonderful Worm Destroyer ever
known, and at the same time, so pleasant to take, that 1
aliimsi every child will be fund of it. and many instances
have been knuwn of children cry ing for more after once
taking it.
This medicine is in the form of a powder, the only !
j medicine ever used in that form, and it operates on a I
j principle entirely different from any other medicine ever I
; administered by any other physician. It is the only j
j medicine which has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine '
j combined yvith it, whicfr i.- believed by all other physi- !
i cians, to be the only two things which will destroy j
i worms, and these two things combined, together willi ;
castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm '
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
smelied, knows to be the most nauseous of all nauseous
medicines, and on account of vvhnh, there is generally- '
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
i order to do this, it must be something stronger than the '
j medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
j some of its medicinal properties. These powders are !
| simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a yy tuHe box j
i at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time.
! the principle upon which it acts being different from any- 1
i thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms
j with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy
! the seat worms, or Ascarides, and long, round worms, or

The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of the
i largest literary and family newspapers published in Phil
i adclphia, says:
''l)r Hoofland's German Bitters, manufactured by Dr.
| Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most
i prominent members of the faculty, as an article of much
, efficacy in cases of female weekness. As such is the
| case, we would ndvise alt mothers to obtain a bottle, and
| thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debiii
j laled constitutions will find these bitters advantageous
! to their health, as we know from experience (he salutary
[ effect they have upon weak sy stems."
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Per
pepsis.no one can doubt after using it as directed. It
j acts specifically upon the stoma* h and liver; it is prefer
• able to calomel in all bilious diseases —the effect is imme
diate. They can be administered to rK.WAt.eor INFAN T
I with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
Beware of Counterfeits!
i This medicine has attained that high character which
; i* necessary for all medicines to attain to induce routs*
terfeiters to put forth a spurious article, at the risk of the
' lives of those who are innocently deceived.
