Bad Economy.
We frequently see heaps of lime lying
upon the premises for months —Sometimes
for a year —before it is applied to the soil.
This is very bad economy. It is most
valuable when applied directly after fal
ling to powder. When long exposed to
dew and rain, it loses considerable of its
fertilizing power. It should be recollect
ed that one of the cardinal virtues of lime
consists in aiding the decomposition of
vegetable matter in the soil, and in neu
tralizing the acids which abound therein.
Quick lime is much more eilective for this
purpose, because long exposed to rains
and dews, it loses much of its power and
strength. Every one who has worked
among lime has observed this.
Lime plowed in with any gTeen crop
must have a happy effect in aiding the de
composition of vegetable manures, and also
mi neutralizing the acidity common to ma
nures of the kind. When thus plowed
down, however, care should be taken to
plow it up again soon after, as the natural
tendency of the mineral is to sink deep,
and if not returned to the top soil, would
soon go beyond the reach ol the roots of
many crops. Ilence we find that many
farmers are opposed to plowing in lime.
Plowing in litne with the sod or any green
crop, cannot fail to be as useltit as snv
other method, if care is taken to have it
upturned again by early after cultivation.
Weevil in Grain.
We are informed from various quarters,
of the serious depredations of the weevil
in the wheat granaries of our farmers—in ,
some instances the grain being almost en
tirelv destroyed, or injured to such an ex
tern as to be unfit to manufacture into
flour. Several persons have inquired for ,
us for a remedy : and we see the same in
quiry made in several other agricultural
journals, without eliciting a reply.
We have but a small amount of knowl
edge on which to prescribe a preventativ e
for this evil. We know of no belter than
to thoroughly white-wash the granary, in
tvery part, inside and out, as well as the
under timbers if possible, before the grain
is put in. This we think, if well done,
will stop their entrance.
Where grain is already infested, air
slacked lime, perfectly drv, sieved over
and mixed through the grain, we believe
will drive away the insect and will not in
jure the grain, as the lime can be blown j
away by running through the fan.—

Syrups for Preserves.
Take eight pounds of bright, clear New j
Orleans or sugar house molasses, eight
pounds pure water, and one pound coarse
broken charcoal. Boil together for twenty
minutes, and then strain through a flannel
cloth folded double. Return the liquor to
the kettle, with the white of one fresh egg,
and boil moderately until the syrup forms
a candy of the desired consistency, and
strain again. This syrup is a superiorar
ticle for preserving pears, plums, <Uc., for
tarts, and is preferred by most to that
made of the best sugar, being less liable to
candy and ferment.
Tomato Pies.
Cover the bottom with alternate layers j
of sliced tomatoes, ripe and sound, and !
bread crumbled fine, with butter, and
spice to taste; then take a bake-pan with
loaf bread sliced fine, and sprinkle fine sugar
over each layer of tomatoes as it is put in. j
Cover with sliced bread and bake as you
do other pies.
To Preserve Tomatoes.
Pack them in jars—laying alternately a !
layer of tomatoes and a layer of sand, un- i
til the vessel is full. Cover them closely
to prevent the introduction of air, and
place them where they will remain cool.
Thus packed, it is said they will last a
whole year.
To Boil Green Corn,
Husk it as soon as gathered, and put it
on to boil immediately, covering it closely
with the fine inner husks. Corn soon grows
vapid after gathering, and should never be
exposed to the air without the husks on.

Completely Cured in Three Days,
By Dr. J. VV. Cooper's Vegetable Compound
Fiver and Ague Pills.
rpiIESE PILLS are composed entirely of Vegetable !
A Substances, and in uiniy-njuc cases out of every hun
dred, will perform a perfect and Complete cure in three
days. No instance has ever been known, where more
than six days have been required to perform a complete
cure, even in the very worst cases, and on the stroneest i
constitutions. We would earnestly say to all who arc '
afflicted with this distressing disease, to get one box ai d
try them, and in ail cases, ttvo boxes are warranted to
eure, if taken according to tiie directions, or the money
returned.
These pills not only perform a perf,-rt cure in three
days, but remove the bile and create a healthy rction of
the liver, and consequently fortify the system against a
future attack.
A I,SO.
My Vegetable Anli-Dysj cp>ia Biltfrs.
This Medicine is a certain cure fit Dup-psis in its
very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been corn- •
pletely 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 cure Dyspepsia, and the d seas. -- origi
nating from it, and that it will cure in almost every case,
and it ts recommended for nothing else. In many in
stances, even the worst of cases have been compi-ti l\
cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat ;
upon the constitution of the patient. We would say to '
all who are allhcted with Dyspepsia, give Ibis medicine
a fair trial, and if it talis to do good, your mom y v, ill be
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
almost every child will be fond of it, and many instances
liave been known of children crying 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
principle entirely different from any other medicine ever
administered by 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
cians. to be the only two things which will destroy J
worms, and 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
smelled, knows to be 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
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy
some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box
at once, and it will not be hurl, while 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
Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have
brougiit as many as FIVE Tape Worms from one person.
if your children have any symptoms of worms, try
these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will-nev
er use any other. These are also warranted.
These medicines are all separate, and one for each dis
ease, and each for oniy 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 they are each to cure but one disease, and Hat they
will do in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred,and
where they have a fair trial and tail 111 alt cases, the
money will be returned.

pAUTION! CAUTION!—AII persons are
E hereby cautioned against a swindler, who
represents himself as my agent ; he is -going
about soliciting persons to buy Lightning Roily,
which he represents as mj Electric Point Rods.
; In some instances he has produced a certificate,
| purpoiting to be from me, authorizing him to
act as my agent. He has not confined himself
1 to this city, but has been operating on the un
suspecting farmers in the adjacent country. in
one instance, a building (on which one of thee
rods had been placed, with assurance that it was
one of my make,) was struck by lightning, 3ti<l
burnt to the ground. The point was brought to
my factory, and on examination proved to be a
a piece of "east iron, polished. Complaints ol
this kind arc coming in daily.
1 now give notice, that I have no agent with
in 70 miles of Philadelphia, and all orders must
be addressed to nty Factory, Vine street, above
12th, Philadelphia, where tliey will receive
j prompt attention.
This is the only place where the genuino
Electric .Mognel Lightning Rod can be procured,
in this city, wholesale or retail, and the electric
influence wholly belongs to myself.
