"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

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fever and Ague Pills.
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.

" 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.
The Rev .Ino. !>. Cochrane,a distinguished Clergyman
of the English Church, writes lo the proprietor from

affection, by Cherry Pectoral." His letter at full length,

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.
