INTRODUCTION OF NEW GRAIN,
<fce.
The experiment by the Patent Office of
introducing and distributing useful seeds,
plants and cuttings, obtained from foreign
countries, as well as different regions of
our own, has been very successful, and
will richly compensate for the cost. The
Turkish flint wheat in the .Middle States
has proved highly adapted to the soil and
climate, and its quality of grain has been
much improved, l's yield is thirty hush
els to the acre, which, in the area annually
of ordinary wheat, would increase the
production fifty millions of bushels, and
add filly millions of dollars to the wealth
of the country. The King Philip or
broom corn, obtained from an island in a
New Hampshire Lake, has been extensive
lv cultivated in New Jersev, Pennsylvania,
Mi iryland and Virginia, and yields from
eighty to one hundred bushels of shelled
corn to an acre. The Chinese sugar cane
is of easy cultivation in the Middle States,
and produces seven tons of fodder to the
acre. Its juice may be converted into
sugar, syrup, alcohol or beer, and may be
used for dyeing wool or silk a permanent
red. This plant is considered more use
ful than any introduced into the country
since.the introduction of cotton and wheat.
The German millet has proved very pro
ductive; the Chinese yam, a good substi- ;
tute for the potato, has succeeded well; the
earth almond has naturalized itself, and j
proved very prolific; so the Persian wal
nut, the almond, the cork tree. Many
varieties of the prune and other fruit trees,
have been so successfully cultivated, that
we shall probably supply llie wants of the 1
Union with many kinds of fruits now im- !
ported in large quantities. There has been
a large amount of medical plants, and
those used for condiments, distributed and j
cultivated with advantage, others for their
fibre and for their usefulness in the arts; ;
but our limits will not allow us to enu- ;
nierate all the kinds and varieties. A :
mere reference 10 them is sufficient to show 1
the scope which is embraced m the labors
ot the Department, and how useful those
labors are likely 10 be to the country at .
large.
MACHINE FOR CUTTING DOWN
TREES.
The Scienlifiic American, publishes an ;
illustration ola portable machine for felling
trees, which, if it answers the purpose as
represented, is certainly a valuable inven
tion. I'he culling is done with a horizon
tal saw, so arranged .as to be readily fed up
to the tree to be felled. As soon as the 1
saw has penetrated far enough, a wedge
is driven into the cut, which prevents the j
tree Irom leaning over and binding on the
saw. Ihe weight of the machine is about i
150 lbs., and the expense of manufactur
ing smali. S. Ingersoll of Green Point,
N. A. is the inventor.
OXEN vs. HORSES.
The "Wool Grower" says that "the ;
plowing matches throughout the country !
have established the tact, that oxen can
plow a given space of ground as (jttick and
as ire// as horses." We do not know how
this may be, but we do know a gentleman
who puis a yoke ol Devon oxen to a plow,
immediately behind a team of three good
horses, and they do the same davs' work i
of plowing that the horses do. Thev are *
stabled, and curried and fed like horses, ;
and do all the work required of them with !
as much spirit.— dmrrican Farmer.
GROWING GRAPES IN POTS.
One of (lie finest ornaments produced
by horticultural science is the raising of
grapes in pots. There can be no sight in
Pomology more beautiful than a well-train
ed vine in lull fruit, for an ornament to a !
conservatory, or for a table at a public din- 1
ner. I o accomplish tins desirable object 1
in the most speedy way, a good branch cf i
a bearing vine should be layered into a pot j
or small tub, in the winter, before fruit j
spurs start. In this way it will form its
roots and immediately set its fruits, go on
and perfect them, and thus present in a
single year a handsome vine. With a ju- i
dicious care, the vine can be separated!
from the old one, and the pot removed
with the fruit perfected. Great care should
be bad not to let tbe vine overbear; this
afTecls tbe size of the clusters, and the \
size of the berries. The circumference
of the vine will always guide the grower
as to the number of clusters and the weight
of crop the vine can ripen.
SAVING BACON.
As the season will soon he at hand for
our farmers to lay up their usual stock of
bacon, the following from a correspondent !
of the New England Farmer may serve a
good purpose;— l He was once entertained
at the house of a friend, and at dinner he
had reason to compliment hiin on the ex
cellent quality of his bacon, and inquired
to know his method of preparing and pre j
serving. He stated that it was his prac- j
tice to slice and fry his bacon immediately
on its being cured, and then packed it
down in its own fat. W hen occasion
came for using it, the slices, slightly re- j
fried, had all the freshness and flavor of
new bacon just prepared. In this way
our friend had always succeeded in 'saving
his bacon' fresh and sweet, through the
hottest weather."

COI'GHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS,WHOOPING-COUGH,
CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
TO CURE A COLO, with Headache and Soreness of the
A Body. Take the Cherry Pectoral on going to bed and
wrap up warm, to sweat during the night.
I'OR A COLD AND COUGH, take it morning, noon
and evening, according to directions on the bottle, and
the dilTiculty will soon be removed. None will long suf
fer from this trouble when they find it can he so readily
cured. Persons afflicted with a seated cough, which
| breaks them of their rest at night, will find by taking the
j Cherry Pectoral that oil going to bed, they maybesureof
j sound, unbroken sleep, and consequent refreshing rest.
| Creat relief from suffering, and an ultimate cure, is af
forded to thousands who are thus afflicted, by tfii- invaln
j able remedy. From its agreeable effects in th-su cases,
: many find themselves unwilling to forego its use wh-.u
j the necessity for it has ceased.
TO SINGERS AND PI BI.IC SPEAKERS this remedy
is invaluable, as by its action on the throat and lungs,
; when taken in small quantities, it removes all hoarseness
j in a few hours, and wonderfully increases ihe power and
I flexibility of th ■ voice.
A.STIIMA is generally much relieved, ami eflen wholly
j cured by Cherry Pectoral. Hut there are some c :sr- so
I obstinate as to yield entirely to no medicine. Cherry
I Pectoral will cure th-rii if they can be cured.
BRONCHITIS, or irritation of ihe throat and upper
, portion of the lungs, may be cured by taking l berry Pec
; toral in small and frequent doses The uncomfortable
i oppression is soon relieved.
I Ft>R CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to lie fol
lowed by large and frequent doses oflhe Cherry Pectoral
until it subdues the disease. If taken in season, it will
not fail to cure.
WHOOPING COUGH may he broken up and soon cur
ed by the use of Cherry Pectoral.
THE INFLUENZA is speedily removed by this remedy.
' Numerous instances have been noticed w here whole fum
; ilies were protected from any serious consequences, while
j their neighbors wittioul the Cherry i'ectora!, were suff-r
--. irig from the disease.
FOR CONSUMPTION in its ear'iest stages, it should
j be taken under the. advice of a good physician if possible,
i and in every case with a careful regard to the printed di
; reclions on the bottle. If judiciously used, and the pa
j lient is carefully nursed meantime, it will seldom fail to
| subdue the disease.
For settled Consumption of the I.ungs, the Cherry Per
i toral should be given in doses adapted to what the patient
! requires and can bear. It always affords relief, and not
I mi frequently cures patients tout were considered past
I hope. There are many thousands scattered all over Hie
: country, who feel and publicly prn-'luim that they owe
■ their lives and present health to the Cherry Pectoral.
Many years of trial, instead of impairing the public
cojiti.l. i ce 01 this medicine, has won l -r it an apprei i it ion
and notoriety by f.tr exceeding the in -l sur guitn , x
tat ion of us friends Nothing but its iutrinsi virtues.uul
| the unmistakeable benefit conferred on thousands of suf.
i ferers, could originate and maintain the reputation it eu
: joys. While many inferior remedies thins! upon the
i community have failed and In en discarded, this I, is gain,
i ed friends by every trial,conferred henefitson the ad; cted
they can n-ver forget, and produced cures too numerous
I and too remarkable to be forgotten
While it is a fraud on the public to protend that anyone '
j medicine w ill infallibly cure —still there is abundant proof
j that the Cherry Pectoral does not only asa general thing, :
j hut almost invariably cute the maladies for which it is
• employed. As tone makes these facts wider and belter
known, th:- medicine has gradually become the best reli
: ance of the atflicted. from the log-cabin of the American
Peasant, to the palaces of European Kings.

Mr. H. M. Bowman—Dear >ir:—l feel u my duty Inlet
you know what your compound has done for my daugh
ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that
some suffering one may be induced by it to try your val
uable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married
in 1 and went to Cincinnati to live, where tier hus
band (James lloyt,) was engaged in business In six
| months after her husband died, and I sent for her to come
lem.e, where in four months .she was confined and caught
. cold which settled on her lungs. It seem- das though w
could get nothing to help her We tried six different
physicians for over one year and tin n sent to New York

from him for eight months; but he could noi cure h<
Her cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though
it would tear lier breast during the paroxysm of cou-'li
and her breathing was at times very difficult. Fading lo
! get relief from physicians, we thought we would try A>-
er's Cherry Pectoral, and she look it regular for seven
; wu-eks, hut it did her no permane nt good. W'e then tried

taken there was a marked change for the better. I then
got six bottles, the most of which she took as directed
