agricultural, arc. VALUE OF FALLEN LEAVES. No manure is so well worth the saving in October and November as the falling leaves or the season. According to Payen, they contain nearly three times as much nitrogen as ordinary barn yard manure, and every farmer who has strewn and covered them in his trench es late in the fall or in December, most have noticed the next season how black and moist the soil that adheres to the thrifty young roots. No vegetable substance yields its woody fibre and becomes soluble quick er than leaves, and from this very cause they are soon dried up, scattered to the winds and wasted if not gathered and trenched in or composted before the advent of severe winter. All leaves are poor in carbon, and rich in alkaline salts, as nitrogen, they are espe cially valuable in compost with manure and dead animals, poor in potash, but abound ing in carbon and lime phosphates. But the great value of leaves is in the extra nitrogen they contain. Prof. Jack son truly says that the compounds of nitro gen not only decompose readily themselves, but they also induce the elements of either organic matter with which they are in con tact, to assume new forms, or to enter into new chemical combinations; and according to the long continued and varied Roth hamsted, experiments of the indefatigable Lawes and Dr. Gilbert, nitrogen, in its compound form (ammonia) also exerts the same potent influence on the inorganic or mineral elements of the soil, rendering even sand into the soluble food of plants. Yet every farmer or gardener ought also to know that his own mechanical aid in trenching or ploughing in order to keep his soil permeable and absorptive in inu:s pensable to aid nature in developing her chemical process. — Rural New Yorker.

BRONCHITIS, Laryngi'is, and olherdiseases of the Chest and Throat successfully treat ed by tie Inhalation of Medicated Vapors and Powders, by Absorption and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at the Stuyvesar.t Med ical institute. New York City, N Y. The unprecedented success which has attend ed this method of treating diseases of the lungs and throat, has induced the physicians to depart from their usual course, and avail themselves of the columns of the press to make it known to such as may be laboring under, or predis posed to such affections. The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for the con sumptive ; the doctrine of the incurability of consumption has now passed away. We have indubitable proofs in our possession, that con sumption in all its stages can be cured ; in the first place, by tubercular absorption ; in the second, by the translormation of tubercule into chalky and calcareous concretions; in the third, by cicatrices or scars. Those wedded to the opinion of the past may assert that it is even now incurable; such are behind the age. To all this great truth must be apparent, viz : that medicines inhaled directly into the lungs, wheth er in the form of vapor or powder, must be more effectual than that taken into the stomach. In short, the only ark of refuge for the con sumptive is Inhalation, and such additional means as the judicious physician will avail himself of. Such of the profession that have adapted in halation have found it soothing and efficacious in the highest degree, arresting the progress of the disease, and working wonders in many des perate cases, in " verity, a triumph of our art over this fell destroyer of our species " NOTE. —Physicians wishing to make them selves acquainted with this practice, are in formed that our time being valuable we can only reply, as to ingredients used, to such let ters that contain a fee. The fee in all cases of consumption will be 910, on receipt of which the necessary medi cines and instrument will be forwarded. Ap plicants will please state age, sex, occupation, whether married or single, how long affected, if any hereditary disease exists in the family, and symptoms generally.

Seeders have become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer, and he will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring w.il enhance its value si least one-half. All the detea tion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pl. is entire'v done away with by this arrangement, and a man, or boy,can perform nearly doable the labor that be could under the old plan, with much greater ease, faotk to himself and horses. There need be no fear of the Spring breaking, for if there is an article that will neither break, rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is that article, and I hsrtard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim plest in construction, tnost economical in performance, and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow 1, If, U, I|, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring one for the coming seeding are requested to send in their orders as early as possible.
