"Fruit Caitare In the Tutted States. In regard to fruit culture, our advantages rre soil greater. An on-hard of fruit trees MI this country, even when well attended, Joes not require as much care and labor 111 five vears as i'. does in one in the great er portion of Europe. A single peaeh tree in England or France receives more actual hard labor in one season, than an orchard of one hundred trees in Western New York ; and the price of a single fruit, or at any rate half a dozen, in the markets of London or Paris, will buy a bushel in New York or Rochester. We complain of a curculio destroying our plums and apricots, and this is one ol our greatest drawbacks here; but, notwith standing, 1 have seen more plums or apri cots on a single tree here, since 1 returned, that; on any dozen I saw in England. V> e have the aphis on our cherry trees here, but they are easily destroyed. In both France and England 1 saw both or chards and nurseries of cherry trees al most ruined by them, and they were said to be unconquerable. V* e have fire blight and leaf blight here, and both are sad dit ficulties, but in France and England they are not without both of these maladies. I saw apple trees very seriously affected in England with what we designate fire Mj-Mit—the ends of the branches black and dead, and there, as here, the real cause is quite unknown to the most skilful ctiltivs tcrs. In France, J saw as bad cases of our leaf blight in the pear as 1 have seen in America. The ravages of birds in Eu rope is tremendous. It is almost impossi ble to save a crop of cherries. Nets, •scarecrows, and a thousand expensive and troublesome devices are practiced, tiiat in this country, where labor is dear, would not be attempted, even though (he culture should be abandoned. Fruit stealing is supposed to be pecul iarly an American vice, birt it is not so by nnv means, though probably, quite as prev alent as elsewhere. In other countries, fruit gardens are better protected than in ours, and this gives them a greater degree of safety ; but in France I saw several nurseries at some distance from houses, where the fruits were removed as soon as they appeared, to save the fruit trees from being broken by the fruit stealers. If in America we were to apply ourselves to culture with the same regardlessness of labor that I have seen in Europe, we could produce results that we do not now dream of, and we will come io this by and b\ we are every year approaching it nearer and nearer—our culture is becoming more skilful, more thorough, and more success ful ; but we have only made a beginning. In horticulture as in agriculture, the United Slates of America has a great des tiny to fulfil. Our territory is not only immense, but so diversified in soil and cli mate, that all the most valuable grains and fruits can he produced in such abundance as will enable us to supply other countries less favored in these respects. The inti mate connection now established between all parts of the world has removed the barriers which distance heretotore created, and we have now a clear course. Culti vators mav* redouble their energies with a sure prospect of reward, and if our Gov ernment, in its wisdom, should see fit to lend a helping hand, all the better.—Let ter* of P. Barry, {of Rochester , A. 1.) To Compute the Weight of Cattle. Ascertain the girth hack of the shoul ders, and the length along the back from the square of the buttock to a point even with the point of the shoulder blade : sav the girth is 0 feet 1 inches, and the length 5 feet 3 inches, which, multi plied together, gives 111 feet. Multiply this by 23, tle number of pounds allowed to the foot, between 5 and ? feet girtli, and the result is 713 pounds, for the num ber of pounds of beef in llie four quar ters. Girths from 7 to 9 feet, allow 31 pounds to the foot. Cattle roust be fat -and square built to hold out weight. C.rowing I'iax with Barley. 1 will inform you of a practice which prevails here, of sowing flax with barley ; it may be new to some of vour readers. After the ground is plowed, two bushels of barley are sown to the acre, and har rowed in ; one peek of flax seed is then sown to the acre and cross harrowed. It is then harvested and thrashed together, and is very easily separated when clean ing, by the flax seed passing into the screen box. The barley seems to do quite as well as if no flax were sown. The past season, 1 had thirty bushels of clean barley and three bushels of flax seed to the acre. The land had been in corn the previous season, and was manured with -table dung and leached ashes.— Genesee farmer. 11. M.

THESE PILLS art* cornposi-d entirely of Vegetable substances, and in tiinty-ninecases out of every hun dred, will perform a perfect and Complete eurr in three days. No instance has ever been known, where more than six days have been required to perform a complete cute, even in the very worst cases, and on the strongest constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who are alllicled with this distressing disease, to get one box and try them, and in all cases, two boxes are warranted to eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money returned. These pills not only perform a perfect cure In three days, but remove the bile and create a healthy rction of ttie liver, and consequently fortify the system against a future attack. A I,SO, My Vegetable Anti-Dyspepsia Sitters. j. This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its : very worst forms Thousands of cases hare been com ; pletbly cured by it within the last year, which have been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi cians. We do not recommend it to cure everything—we recommend it to cute Dyspepsia, and the diseases origi nating front it, and that it will cure in almost every case, I and it is recommended for nothing else. In many In i stances, even ihe worst of cases have been completely i cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat npon file constitution of the patient. We would sav to all who are aifin ted with Dyspepsia, give this medicine a fair trial, and if it fails to do good, your money will be returned. ALSO, My Vegetable Worm Powders. This is the most wunderfill Worm Destroyer ever | known, and at the same time, so pleasant to takP, that almost every child will be fond of It. and many instances have been known of children crying for more afier once taking it. This medicine is in the form of a powder, the only medicine ever used in Ilia! form, and it operates on a principle entirely different from any other medicine ever administered In any other physician. It is the only ■ medicine which has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine combined with it, which is believed by all other physi i cians. to be the only two things which will destroy worms, and these two things combined, together with ! castor oil, are the ariive principles of a'l other worm medicines, which every person who lias ever lasted or i smelled, know s to be the most nauseous of all nauseous medicines, and on account of which, there is generally something added to destroy this nauseous taste, aud in order to do this, it must be something stronger than the 1 medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy some of its medicinal properties. These powders are simple and so (landless, that a child may eat a u ti de box at once, and it will not be hurt, wtiiie at the same time, : the principle upon which it acts being different from any | thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy the seat worms, or Ascarides, and long, round worms,or 1 Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for Ihe destruc tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have , brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms frouione person If your children have any symptoms of won is, trv these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev j er use any other. These are also warranted. These medicines are all separate, and one for each dis ease, ami each for only one disease. They are not re commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some j fifteen or twenty diseases, and al! of different natures, , but they are each to cure but one disease, and Hat they • will do in ninety -nine cases out of every hundred, and where ihey have a fair tria! and fail in all cases, the money will be returned.

The widely celebrated Surgeon, Dr. Valentine Molt,of New York city, says - " It gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which I consider peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the throat ami lungs. Dr. Perkins, the venerable Piesident of the Vermont Medical College, one of the eminently learned physicians of this country, writes, the Cherry Pectoral is extensive ly used in this section, where it has shown unmistakable evidence of its happy effects upon pulmonary diseases.

HOOFLAXSID'S CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS, PREPARED BY DR. C. M. JACKSOX, At the German Medicine Store, 120 Arch st. f I PHILADELPHIA. Their porter over the above diseases is not errelled—if equalled—bp any other preparation in'he United States as the cures attest,in many casss after skilful physicians had fail d. These Bitters are worthy the attention of invalids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases of the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the most search ing powerß in weakness and ntTec; ions of the digestiveor gang, they are withal, safe, certain and pleasant. READ AND BE CONVINCED. JOSIAII C. YOUNG, Dauphin, Dauphin county, Pa., I in a letter to Dr. Jackson, of May 5, 1851. said : "For a long timet was afflicted with general debility and iNtcstinal weakness, cestiveness, ,fe., for which 1 used ' many different remedies, without change. At last lac] cidentally stumbled upon Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared hv you. I took a few bottles according to di rections, and was completely cured. I have not been so healthy tor ten years as t have been since I took vour bitters, which was about one year ago. Some of my neighbors are now using them, and deriving great ben efit." ANOTHER LETTER, From Dr. J. C. ffll.KS, -Vc irton Hamilton, Fa., said: j ' - I have used a half dozen of your German Bitters my self, for l-iver Complaint and diseases of a nervous char acter, resulting from the abuse of mercury, I was poi soned and affected with spasms from the use of this lat ter article, and your German Bitters was the first article from which I obtained relief, although 1 have not yet ; quite recovered. All who have used this medicine of | yours speak well of it." DYSPEPTICS AND SKEPTICS, READ, j In three-fourths of the cases ol diseased Liver, SlnmJ ach and Nerves, the effect of Dr. Hoofland's Celebrntad German Bitters, (prepared only by Dr Jackson, at the | Medicine Store, 120 Arch street,) is as positive as in the case of A. A. Kaufman, Esq. Read what he says tf LANCASTER, April 30, 1800. j Respected Sir : I have been for a series of years afflict ed w ith Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous Debility. My mental powers have been so reduced as ! to render me quite unfit for the transaction of any kind of business. After consulting many eminent physicians, and using their prescriptions, and after using the most popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to my case, I always failed to have permanent relief. A friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle i of yotir celebrated Bitters. I have USED one bottle, and this day commenced the second. 1 can with cheerful] ness state that it has happily improved me. My appej tite and spirits have astonishingly improved, and 1 begin ; to feel as though I had grown (suddenly) ten tenia . younger, and really, I am almost prepared to sav that I ■ now consider myself calculated for any business, while, ten days ago, I would have AS soon undertaken to square | a circle as to have attempted It. Yours respectfully, A. A KAUFMAN. To Dr. C. M. Jackson, 120 Arch street, Philadelphia. The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," ore of the largest literary and family newspapers published in riiil' j adelphia. says: "Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, manufaclurcd by DR ; Jackson, are now recommended by some of the moe prominent members of the faculty, as an article of much efficacy in cases of female week ness. As such is the case, we would advise all mothers to obtain A bottle, Hnd thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili tated constitutions will find these bitters advantageous I to their health, as we know from experience lite salutary effect they have upon weak systems." j That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and DYS pepsia, no one can doubt after using It as directed, it acts specifically upon the stomach and ti er ;it is prefer able to calomel in rill bilious dista.-es —the effect is imme diate. They CAN lie administered to FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Beware of Counterfeits! This medicine has attained that high character which is necessary for all medicines to attain to induce coitn* ■ terfeiters to put forth a spurious article, at the risk of the lives of those who aie innocently deceived. Look well to the Murks of the Genuine, • i They have the written signature of C. M. JACKSON • upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without which they are Spurious. , For sale, wholesale and retail, at the UER ! AN MEDICINE STORE, 120 Arch street, ONE door below Sixth.
