HOW DEEP SHOULD MANURE BE 1 BURIED? | Tiiis is a question which is still unset- . tied, and there are as many different opin- i ions on the subject now as at any former time, before it had been so much discussed. It is still a question with inauy farmers, whether much is lost by evaporation, when manures are onlv partially buried in the , soil. It is contended that nothing btitwa- , ter evaporates, and that all-the real essence ! is left behind when the manure seems to ; be drying up, on the surface or very near j to it. It is also asserted that no loss is sustain ed when they are spread broadcast in Oc tober, over mowing grounds, and that more benefit is realized by ibis mode of applica tion than by any other. It is difficult to settle such questions satisfactorily. Sea sons and circumstances alter cases. We know that manures are often buried too , deep, and we are not quite sure that any other covering than that which is done by the harrow is useful. We have now a heavy field of corn of eight acres. It was planted late in May. All the manure was from the winter heaps, made by horned cattle and a horse, and a j small quantity from a cow yard. This ! manure was carted out in the spring, and j all of it spread over the field oil the green sward furrows that were turned last fall j and last May. No lime was found to bury this manure otherwise than with a harrow —2O oxcart loads were put on each acre— j and though the weather was rather dry till the middle of July, the corn is the heavi- j est that we have had for many years.— : Massachusetts Ploivman. A Bundle of Elopements. —The Buf falo Express gives the following chapter on domestic difficulties:—Mrs. King, near Kingston, was recently taken sick, and her husband seized the opportunity to elope with a handsome servant girl named Mar tin. On their arrival at Albany, Miss I Martin eloped with a young man named Cornelius, taking Mr. King's money.— King being penitent, returned home and ! found that ins wife had eloped with a dry j goods clerk named J offers with all the movable articles in the bouse. Whereup- J on King started off in pursuit, considering ! himself a deeply injured man. ; "Once upon a tune," a Methodist j Preacher, who. like Methodist Preacher's generally, disliked long prayers, went to a I meeting at which a Presbyterian minister was officiating, lie entered with his great coat on, as the worshippers were about going on their knees, knelt hard by the j stove, which happened to be pretty hot.— The prayer commenced. The suppliant waxed warm and so did our Wee ley an i friend by the stove. The prayer went on, ' and on, and on; and the perspiration rolled down the face of the Methodist gentle- I man, who at length arose, deliberate!v drew oil his great coat, and then went ! down on his aching marrow-bones again, : saying in a low, but very determined voice j as he did so, to his long winded Presby- 1 terian brother, "well here's at you jor all' night!"

' some suffering one may be induced by it to try your val- ! | liable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married ; | iu 1-..3, and went to Cincinnati to live, where tir r litis- 1 i band (James Hovt.) was engaged in business, iu six ' | months after her husband died, and ! sent fdrherto come | j home, where in four months she wasconfined and caught I cold which settled on her lungs. It seemed as though we j - could get nothing to help her We tried six different j physicians for over one year and then sent to New York - | lo a celebrated physician there, arid she took medicine ! | from him for eight months ; but he could not cure her.— ' j ,ller cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though 1 it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough, ! a,, d her breathing was at times very difficult. Failing to' get relief from physicians, we thought we would trv \v j er's Cherry Pectoral, and she took it regular for seven ; weeks, but it did her no permanent good. We then tried I Sellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but with all she still be j came worse, and it seemed as though she was beyond j cure, when one day my wife wisin at one of our neigh , bor s houses (Mr. Mayness') and she saw them give your I Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough • and she got three or four doses to bring home and try it. | After my daughter had taken it she breathed a little . as ier, and we sent and got a bottle of it, ami w hen it was ! taken there was a marked change for the better. I then | got six bottles, the most of which she took as directed I | until finally cured—it is three months since, and she has ! | not had a symptom of the old complaint, and is getting as ! lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to ■ j Cod that you may he prospered and that your Vegetable ; , Compound may be the means of restoringheslth tomanv ! as it has to one w ho is dear to us ; wt; cheerfully recotii- j ! mend it to the public as the best medicine for Lung Dis. ! eases that we ever got hold of.

ASTHMA, AND CONSUMPTION. : Eftf) CURE A COLD, with Headache and Soreness of the Rody. Take the Cherry Pectoral on going to bed and t w rap up warm, to sweat during the night. FOR A COLD AND COUGH, take it morning, noon ! and evening, according to •directions on the bottle, arid j | the difficulty will "on be removed. None will long suf- j i f'er from this trouble when they find it can he so readily , 1 cured. Persons afflicted with a seated cotieh, which | I breaks them of their rest at night, will find by taking the j 1 Cherry Pectoral that on going to bed, Ihev may be sure of | | sound, unbroken sleep, and consequent refreshing rest ! Great relief from suffering, and an ulti-nate cure, is uf j forded to thousands who are thus afflicted, by this invalu | able remedy. Prom its agreeable effects in these cases, | many find themselves unwilling to forego its use when ; the necessity for it has ceased. TO HINGERS AND PI'BLIC SPEAKERS this remedy j is invaluable, as by its action on the ,In oat and lungs, j | when taken in small quantities, it removes ail hoarseness j I in a few hours, and wonderfully increases the power and ■ flexibility of tlie voice. ASTHMA is generally much relieved, and often wholly j I cured by Cherry Pectoral. But there are some coses so ! | obstinate as to yield entirely to no medicine. Cln-riy | i Pectoral will cure them if they can l>e cured. BRONCHITIS, or irritation of the throat and upper ! portion of the lungs, may be cured by taking Cherry Pec- j loral in small and frequent doses The uncomfortable j oppression is soon relieved. FOR CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to be fol j lowed by large and frequent doses of the Cherry Pectoral until it subdues the disease. If taken in season, it will ; not fail to cure. WHOOPING C< )UGH may he broken up and soon ctir- ; ed by the use of Cherry Pectoral. THE INFLUENZA i- speed ;iy removed by this remedy Numerous instances li ive been not ii ed where wli le run- Hies were protected from any serious consequences, while j their neighbors without the Cherry Pectoral, were suffer ing from the disease. FOR CONSUMPTION in its earliest stages, it should j : be taken under the advice of a good physician if possible, j j and in every case with a careful regard to the printed di i j rections on the bottle. If judiciously used, and the pa | j tient is carefully nursed meantime, it will seldom fail to | j subdue the disease. For settled Consumption of tiie Lungs, the Cherry Pec j toral should be given in doses adapted lo what the patient ! requires and can hear. It always affords relief, and not ! unfrequeiilly cures patients ti.it were considered past j hope. There are many thousands scattered all over the ' country, who feel and publicly proclaim that they owe j their lives and present health to the Cherry Pectoral. Many years of trial, instead of impairing the public j confidence in this medicine, has won for it an appreciation i j and notoriety by far exceeding the most sanguine, cxpec j tation of its friends. Nothing hut its intrinsic virtues and i j the unmistakealiie benefit conferred ou thousands of suf- . ; ferers, could originate anil maintain the reputation it en- j i joys While many inferior remedies thrust upon the i community have failed and been discarded, t.'iis has gain- i ed friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous ; and too remarkable to be forgotten While it is a fraud on the public to pretend that.any one [ medcine w ill infallibly cure —still theie is.abundant pre f j that the t'hvrry Pectoral does not only asa general thing, but almost invariably- cure tlie maladies for which it is employed. As time, makes these facts wider and belter • known, this medicine has gradually become the best reii- i ante of tlie affln led, from lite log-cabin of the American j : Peasant, to the palaces of European Kings. The CIIEUKV PECTORAL IS manufactured by a practical • i Chemist, and every ounce of it under Ins own eye, with j ] invariable accuracy ami care. It is scaled and protected !
