PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE.
The V Observer says the following
c-ood things of progressive agriculture :
< Under its influence spring up tasty and
convenient dwellings, adorned with shrubs
and flowers, and beautiful within with the
smiles of happy wires, tidy children in the
lap of thought fail agt —broad hearths, and
acts as well as words of welcome. Pro
gressive agriculture builds barns and puts
gutters on them, builds stables for cattle,
raises roots to feed them. It grafts
wild appie tr#es by the meadow with pip
pins or greenings—it sets put new orchards,
and takes cart of the old ones.
It drains low lands, cuts down bushes,
buys a mower, house-tools and wagons,
keeps good fences, and practices soiling.—
It makes hens lay and chickens live, and
prevents swine from rooting up meadows.
Progressive agriculture keeps on hand
plenty of dry fuel, and brings in the oven
wood for the women. It plows deeply,
sows plentifully, harrows evenly, and prays
for the blessing of Heaven. Finally, it
subscribes for good religious, agricultural,
and family journals, and pays for them in
advance, advocates free schools, and always
takes something besides the family to the
county fair.'
THE SECKEL PEAR. —The seckel is the
best native pear known; has a high, spicy,
honeyed flavor. It bears its fruit in clus
ters at the ends of the branches. It ripens
from the first of September to the last of
October. It was sent to Europe by Dr.
Hosack, in 1819, and the fruit was pro
nounced by the London Horticultural So
ciety exceeding in flavor the richest and
beet of their Autumn pears. The fruit is
very small except on rich land. The fol
lowing account is given of the origin of
this pear: ' About 80 years ago, there was
a well known sportsman and cattle dealer
in the city of Philadelphia, who was famil
liarly known as ' Dutch Jacob.* Every sea
son, early in the autumn, on returning
from his shooting excursions. Dutch Jacob
regaled his neighbors with peara of an un
usually delicious flavor, the secret of whose
place of growth, however, he would never
satisfy their curiosity by divulging. At
length the Holland Land Company, own
" ing a considerable tract south of the city,
disposed of it in parcels, and Dutch Jacob
then secured the ground on which his fa
vorite pear tree stood, a fine tract of land
near the Delaware. Not long afterwards
it became the farm of Mr. Seckel, who in
troduced this remarkable fruit to public
notice, and it received his name. After
wards the property was added *o the vast
estate of the late Stephen Girard. The
original tree still exist 3, (or did a few years i
agoj vigorous and fruitful. Specimens of 1
its pears were quite lately exhibited at the
annual show of the Pennsylvania Horticul
tural Society.— Country Gentleman.
Soft Com, or Nubbins. —A farmer says:
"If I were anked the question, what could
I feed soft corn to with the most advantage,
I would say, to milk cows, aE they will eat
both cob and corn, and it not only increases
the quantity of milk but adds very much
to the quality of butter; besides, milch
eows late in the fall need something of this
kind, as they leave pasture to go to hay, or
they will soon fail in their milk, particular
ly if they have been milked all summer.
If you feed nubbins to bogs, as is common
ly done, they only eat a part of the corn
and not the cob, and of this kind of corn
there is a vast deal of substance in the
eob"
Splendid Plum Pudding. —Fifteen Bos
ton crackers, large site; nine eggs, one pint
of milk, one of cream, one-fourth pound
of Bact, half a teacup of butter, very little
mace, cinnamon and salt, two pounds of
raisins, one-half a pound of currants.—
Scald the milk and cream, and pour over
the pounded crackers the night before: a
teacup of molasaea will add to the light
ness. When boiled itick it with citron all
over, cut in strips. Boil from four to five
hours, (the longer it boils the better.) and
serve with rich sauce.

FULL QUART BOTTLES,
And containing the strength of six times as
much pure Honduras Sarsaparilla as any
other similar preparation in America.
VFEW bottles of this Sarsaparilla, put up
several years ago, rendering it the more
valuable, (as all well-informed druggists know
that age improves it.) have been deposited at
the drug store of CHARLES KITZ, in Lewistown,
where they are offered for sale at three-fourths
the regular price, namely 75 cents per bottle.
It has been a well established fact for years
past that Sarsaparilla, when pure am! properlv
prepared, was the only true panacea for all di-
originating from an impure state of the
blood, the use of mercury, intoxicating drinks,
evil habits in vouth. barrenness, dbc. We bold
ly assert that JOHN DULL S FLUID EX
TRACT OF S.IRSAPARILLA is the ooly pre
paration before the public that is prepared on
strictly scientific principles and of uniform
strength. The sarsaparilla is purchased with
out regard to price, and every pound, before
being used, is subject to the strictest chemical
teste, and its genuineness ascertained before
bein? used. Bull's Sarsaparilla also contains
the virtues of several other valuable medical
roots, together forming the best compound, and
producing the greatest curative agent in the
known world! This medicine, when used ac
cording to directions, has cured
Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Erup
tions of the Skin, Erysipelas, Chronic Sore
Eyes, Ringvcorm or Tetters, Scald Head,
Rheumatism, Old Sores and Vicars,
