The great art in the management of hens in order to render them profitable, is to cause them to lay in winter, as it is this season in which eggs are scarce and high, if a person keeps a flock of hens in order to supply his family with eggs, or for the purpose of selling the eggs in market, he must manage so that they will lay in Win ter, else they will not generally pay their expenses. For in the first case, he will be under the necessity of buying eggs when they are very dear, and if he produ ces eggs for the market he has them only when everybody's hens lay, and he must sell them at low rales. To cause hens to lay in winter, furnish them with a warm dry shelter, in a warm location, where they can be free from cold winds and enjoy a good share of sunshine. The hen house should be kept clean, and all filth from the remains of food should be carefully removed. There should be a good supply of gravel which ought to be renewed occasionally, or dug over so as to furnish a fresh lot often. Hens should have a constant supply of pure water, and pure, wholesome food.— They are fond of corn, wheat, oats, buck wheat, rye, rice, millet, boiled potatoes, and various other kind of food. General ly the cheapest grains may be used as their principle food, but it is better to supply them with the various kinds. 'lMiey are very fond of corn, and they flourish well with this as their main food. Boiled po tatoes, mashed up, while hot, with meal of almost 3ny kind of grain, or with wheat, bran or shorts, and given warm, are excellent food in cold weather, and greatly promotes laying. Changes in food are advantageous.— Hens prefer variety, as well as non-feath ered bipeds. In winter and summer, when confined to small yards, hens should have a small supply of animal food. Refuse meat or fish may be given cooked or raw. Scraps are often obtained for this purpose, from the tallow dealer, but this is not so accep table to hens as fresh meat or fish, which may be obtained at a cheap rate or gratis, from the fish market or butcher. Fresh, unburnt bones, pounded or chopped fine, are excellent,, as they supply both animal food and lime. HORSES. Those who Uave the care of horses are frequently very negligent in the manner of discharging their duty. There is no ani mal in existence so susceptible to the effects of dirt, impure air, bad bedding, etc., as the horse. All excrements in the horse's stable, however small in quantity, should be removed at least once a day, and a > clean, dry place left for the animal to stand i or lie down on. Many a horse when sta bled for an hour's feeding is placed in a close, filthy place without a breath of pure air—and there obliged to make his meal. We would almost as soon think of eating in such a place ourselves, as of compelling a horse to do it. If you have no windows in your stable, by all means make one at once or knock off a board, to let in light and pure air. When you have removed the droppings from the stable at night, strew the lloor with dry straw or husk; the value of the manure w ill more than repay the expense—besides render your horse healthier. Horses take cold very easily; for this reason they should never be turned from a warm stall, where they have perspired for an hour, directly into a damp pasture. Neither should a horse be left to lie down over night in a damp pasture, where there is no shelter, but let a shed be built, to which they can retire at uight. A horse will never lie down in an open lot when he can find a place of shelter; and if there is nothing better, they will always et near a fence or tree at night. Good Goods and Low Prices!

KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures Every Kind of Humor from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. HE lias tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed ex cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its virtue,all within twenty mites of Boston. Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore Mouth. One to three butties wilt cure the worst kind ot Pimples on the Face Two to three bottles will clean the system of Bites. Two bottles arc warranted to cure the worst Canker in the Mouth and Stomach. Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the Ears and Blotches among the Hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running Ulcers. One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the Skin. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst cass of Ringworm. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most desperate case of Rheumatism. Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt Rheum. Five to eight bottles willcurethe worst case of Scrof ula A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti ty is tsken. Reader, 1 peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the vicinity of Boston. 1 know theefTect of it in every case. So sure as water will extinguish fire, sosure will this cure hutnor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold an other; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to nie sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla ces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I discovered it in 1816—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popularity of the discovery, I will slate that in April, i53,1 peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in April, 1554,1 sold over one thousand bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors —but since its introduction asa general family medicine, great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 never suspected. Several cases of epileptic tits—a disease which was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in all cases of that awful malady—there are few who have seen more of it than 1 have. I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged people, cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liv er, fsick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases of the Kidneys, Stc., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known. No change of diet ever necessary —eat the best you get and plenty of it.

Bowman —Dear .Sir:—l feel it my duty to let 1 you know what your compound has done for my daugtl ! 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 liable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married ; in 1553, and went to Cincinnati to live, where tier hus ' band (.lames Hoyt,) was engaged in business. In six i months after her husband died, and I sent for her to come hoine, where lit four months she was con fined and caught cold which settled on lierluncs. It seemed as though we ! could get nothing to help her. We tried six different physicians for over one year and then sent to New York j to a celebrated physkim there, and she took medicine from him for eight months; but he could not care Iter Her cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though | it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough, i and her breathing was at times very difficult. Failing to ! gel relief from physicians, we thought we would try Ay ; er's Cherry Pectoral, and site took it regular for seven weeks, hut it did ber no permanent good. We then tried Sellers' Imperial Cough Syrup, but with ail she still be ; came worse, and it seemed as though she was beyond ' cure, when one day my wife was in at one of our neigh : bor's houses (Mr Mayness') and site saw them give your I Vegetable Compound to one of their children for a cough ' and she got iliree or four doses to bring home and try it. • After my daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas ! ier, and we sertl ana got a bottle f it, ami when it was l taken there was a marked change for lite better. 1 llien got six bullies, the moat, of which she teok as directed ! until finally cured—it is three mouths sinre, ami she has not had a symptom of the old cu'nplainl, and is getting as lusty as she ever was.
