Raising Calve—A New Method.
While on a short visit to the farm of
"Mr. I). M■ (To-well, of this town, a few
days ago. our attention was drawn to a
plan of raising calves for early sale, which,
TO us, in t !, ;s section of the country, has
the appearance of novelty, and seems
worth} the attention of stock growers.
Mr. Crowell took ten calves (ali heifers)
last spring, and commenced feeding them
<>n sour milk at a few -day's old, keeping
them on the same kind of food during the
sunmu r. taking good care to feed them
uniformly, hut not very abundantly, so as
to keep them growing thriitily without
forcing too rapidly. In the fa!! they were
}>ut in the stable, and fed oil hay and a little
meal, increasing the quantity of the latter
gradually, wilh a vie v of tilling them for
beef in the spring, at one year old or a
little under.
These ten calves now look like young
oxen, and are estimated to weigh about 50U
lbs. each alive. They will probably bt
sent to market soon, say next month, when
we shall see how it will he relished by the
lovers of good eating. For ourselves we
should hardly find it in our hearts to de
cline a dinner from one of the best of
them. We understand from .Mr. ('..who
is one of our'(test farmers, and who is
making this trial byway ol experiment,
that lie is satisfied thus far with
the present attempt to raise beel in one
ve.u, and he thinks some improvement
can be made.—h\. J. / uriner.
Currants and Coost-berries.
If is to he presumed that not one in a
hundred understands the simple process of
cultivating either currants or gooseberries,
although it has been detailed in all the
horticultural books- with which the world
abounds. Thousands of persons, with
every appliance of success, are still con
tent to lite without a plentiful supply of
these delicious, healthy, and cheap luxu
ries. merely because they have not thought
of the matter. They have a few stinted
bushes set in the grass, with three-fourths
of the stock dead, and then wonder why
they do not bear in abundance.
There is not a more beautiful shrub
growing than the currant, properly propa
gated : and the same may be said of the
gooseberry. Cultivators who pay any at
tention to the subject, never allow the foot
to make but one stock, or, as the English
say, * Make them statu! on one leg'—thus
forming a beautiful miniature tree.
To do this, you must take sprouts of
last year's growth, and cut out ail the
eyes, or buds in the wood, leaving oitlv
two or three at the top : then push them
about half the length of the cutting, into
mellow ground, where they will root and
run up a single stock, forming a beautiful
symmetrical head. If you wish it higher,
cut the eyes out again the second venr. 1
have one six feet high. This places votir
fruit out of the way of hens, and prevents
the gooseberry from mildewing, which of
ten happens when the fruit lies on or near
the ground, and is shaded bv a superabun
dance of leaves and sprouts. It changes
an unsightly bush which cumbers and
disfigures your garden into an ornamental
dwart tree. Ihe truit is larger and riper,
and will last on the bushes bv growing in
perfection until late in the fall.
The mass of people suppose that the
roots make out from the lower buds. It
is not so ; they start from the hark and
wood, at the place where it is cut from the
parent root.— Vermont Chronicle.

Completely. Cured i.i Three Buys,
j By Dr. J. VV. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fever anJ Ague Pills.
rpiIESF. PILLS are composed entirely of Vee-iabie
*- J-übstaiice!., and in ninty-nine rases out of everv'bun
j dred, will perform a perfect and Complete mre in three
j days. No instance has ever been known, where more
I than six days have been required to perform a complete
| cure, even in the very worst cases, and on the strongest
constitutions. We would earnestly say to aii who are
| afflicted with this distressing disease, to get one box and
, try them, and in ail cases, two boxes are warranted to
j eure, if taken according to the directions, or the money
i returned.
These piiis not only perform a perfect cure in three'
j days, hut remove the bile and create a healthy iction of
| the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a
j futureattack.
I ALSO,
: My Yfgrtablc Anti-Dysjrpsia Bitters.
This Medicine is a certain cure fur Dyspepsia in Its
, I very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been com
, pletely cured by it within the last year, which have
he en entirely despaired of by the regular family physi
' | riaris. We do not recommend it to cure everything—we
recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the diseases origi
' | nating from it, and that it will cure in almost every case.
' ! and it is recommended for nothing else. In many iu
. stances, even the worst of cases have been completely
J cured in two and three months, hut it depends somewhat
upon the constitution of the patient. We would say to
all who are afflicted with Dyspepsia, give this medicine
a fair trial, and if it tails to do good, your money will he
' returned.
ALSO,
My Vegetable Wonu Powders.
This is tiie most wonderful Worm Destroyer ex-er
known, and at Hie same time, so pleasant to take, that
; | almost every child will by fond of it, and many instances
'• have been known of children crying for more after once
taking it.
' 'lbis medicine is in the firm of a powder, the onlv
1 medicine ever used in that form, and it operates on a
• principle entirely diffeieut from any other medicine ever
' administered by any cither physician. It is the only
medicine xvhich lias no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine
combined with it, which is believed by all other phvsi
j cuins, to he the only txva things which will destroy
i worms, arid these two things combined, together with
! castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
studied, knows to he the most nauseous of all nauseous
| medicines, and on account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do this, it must be something stronger than the
1 i medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
; some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
j simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box
' at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time,
the principle upon wbicbit acts being dilferent from any
thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms
] with a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy
tli ■ seat worms, or A sea rides, and long, round worms, or
Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
; lion of the Tape Wprm ever known. Ten doses have
; brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms from one person.
If your children have any symptoms of worms, try
i these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev
| er use any other. These are also warranted.
These medicines are al! separate, and one for each dis
j ease, and each for only one disease. They are not re
commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some
fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures,
but tliev are each to cure hut one disease, andtl at they
will do iu ninety -nine cases out of every hundred,arid
where they have a fair trial and fail in all cases, the
money will be returned.

CONSUMPTION.
| THIS invaluable remedy for all diseases of the Throxt
J- and I i-Nos. has attained a celebrity from its remarka
-1 ble cures, never equalled by any other medicine before.
1 Other preparations have shown thetnselcs palliatives,
and sometimes effected notable cures, but none Ins ever
so fully won tbe confidence of every community where
: it is known. After years of trial in every climate, the !
i results have indisputably shown it to possess, a mastery \
over this dangerous class of diseases, which could not
fail to attract the attention of physicians, patients, and
' the public at large.
See the statements, not of obscure individuals and from
far distant places, but of men who are known and re
j s(iected throughout the country,
The widely celebrated surgeon, Dr. Valentine Molt,of
New York city, says :
44 it gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy
j of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which I consider peculiarly
; adapted to cure diseases of the throat and lungs.
Dr. Perkins, the venerable President of the Vermont
Medical College, one of the eminently learned physicians
of this country, writes, the Cherry Pectoral is extensive
j ty used iii Ibis section, where it has shown unmistakable j
evidence of its happy effects upon pulmonary diseases.
The Rev. J no. !>. Cochrane, a distinguished Clergyman
of the English Church, writes to the proprietor from
j Montreal, that "lie has been cured of a severe asthmatic
affection, by Cherry Pectoral." His letter at full length,
; may he found in our circular, to be had of the agent, and
is worth the attention of asthmatic patients.
Tins tetter is from the well known Druggist at Hills
date, Miitugsn, one of the largest dealers iu the State;
and this case is from his own observation.
Ilti-LsriALE, MICH., Dec. 10, IStP.
Dear Sir :—lmmediately on the receipt of your Cm bh-
I rv PECTORAL, I carried a bottle to an acquaintance ef
j mine who was thought to be near his cud with quick
I consumption. He was unable to rise from his bed, and
was extremely feeble. His friends believed he must
soon die. unless relief conld he obtained for him, and I
induced litem to give your excellent medicine a trial. 1
| immediately left town for three xveeks, and you may
judge of my surprise on my return, to meet him in the
street on mv way home from the cars, and find lie had
ei tirely recovered. Four weeks from the day he com
, menred taking your medicine, he was at work at his
j arduous trade of a blacksmith.
There are other cases w itliin my knowldedge, where
the CHF.rrv Pxctoraa. has been singularly successful,
hut none so marked as this. Very truly yours

JOSIAH L. y OLXG, Dauphin, Dauphin county, Pa ,
in a letter to Dr. Jackson, of May 5, 1851, said :
"Fur a long time I was afflicted with general debility
| an,i intestinal weakness, costiteness, $c , for which 1 used
i many different remedies, without change. At last lac'
ci.ientally stumbled upon Hoc,fluid's German Bitters'
prepared by yon. I took a few bottles according lo dr

From Dr. J C GU.ES, .Vcrton Hamilton. Pa., said:
'•I have used a half doe.en of your Germ in Bitters mv

LANCASTER, April 30, 1950.
I,'everted Sir: I lmve beer, fr a scries of vears afflict

render me quite unfit for the transaction of amy kind

i ami using their prescriptions, and after using tlie most
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to
my case, I always failed lo hare permanent relief. A
triend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Bitters. I have used one bottle,and
tins day commenced the second. I can with . hcerfu
ness state that it has happily improved mo. Mv appe
tite and spirits have astonishingly improved, and I begin"
to feel as though I had grown (suddenly) ten years

To Dr. C. M. J.irkson,

The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of the
largest literary and tamily newspapers published in Phil)
adelpbia, says: *
"Dr. Hootland'sGerman Bitters,manufactured by Dr.
Jackson, are now recommended bv some of the "most
prominent members of the. faculty, as an article of much
efficacy in cases of female weekness. As such is the
j case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle, and
1 thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili
tated constitutions will find these bitters advantageous
j to their health, as we know from experience the salutary
effect they have upon weak systems."
I hat this medicine will cure I.iver -Complaint and Dys
pepsia. no one can doubt after using it as directed 'lt
arts specifically upon the stomach and liver ; it is prefer
able to calomel in oil bilious diseases- the effect is imme
j diate. They can be administered to FEMALE or INFANT
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
