agricultural,
fcof-Wc learn from the Philadelphia
Bulletin that Joseph S. Lovering, of Oak
hill, Philadelphia county, having grown
the Sorghum and brought the full force of
scientific analysis to bear upon its results,
has established that not only will the new
cane yield crystalized sugar, but that the
process is so inexpensive as to make it very
profitable, while the trouble and skill in
volved are, after certain simple prepara
tions have been observed, actually no great
er than what may be required in making
any ordinary dish. "With a very little
practice any farmer may make his own
sugar.
IMPROVING OLD ORCHARDS.
• Desirable as pears, cherries and plums
are, we can hardly count on very large and
constant supplies of such fruit. Our cli
mate or soil is so unfavorable to their
growth, or they are infested with so many
insects and diseases, and require so much
care, that few farmers can devote sufficient
attention to their culture. The apple must
be our main dependence; and it is no mean
dependence either. Yet, strange to say,
many orchards are treated with neglect.
The trunks and limbs of trees are suffered
to become mossy, the tops are allowed to
grow up a dense mass of brush, and the
fruit to remain of an inferior quality.
Now, there are few men who can really
afford to keep such orchards. Why not
break up the ground, and if it is not thought
best to let it lie fallow, then give it a coat
of manure and raise some kind of hoed
crop upon it. If possible, mulch the roots
of the trees with old straw or chips. Once
a year, at least, scrub the trunks with wet
lye or potash water to remove the moss and
rout the insects which harbor there. Then
as to pruning, there is enough to do, but it
must be done in the right way. It will
not answer to mount the trees with rough
nailed boots and, axe in baud, hack away
like a woodman felling a forest. Tread on
the limbs carefully, so as not to start the
bark. Use a fine-toothed pruning saw;
thin out the branches so as to leave an ojkui
symmetrical head, and where large branch
es must be taken off, cover the wounds
with grafting wax or a solution of gum
shellac. If the fruit is of inferior quality
graft in choicer sorts, beginning at the top
and grafting only one-third of the tree
each year. It costs no mure to raise good
kinds of fruit than poor; the satisfaction
and the income are ten-fold greater. —

THE GREATEST
MEDICAL DISCOVERY
OF THE AGE.
DR. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered
in one of our common pasture iretdss.
remedy that cures
Every Kind of Humor
from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.
TIE has tried it in over 1100 cases, and never failed rx
cepl in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He hat
now in his possession over two hundred certificates of
its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Store
Mouth.
One to three bottles wiii cure the worst kind o! Pimples
on the Face
T.vo to three bottles wiSI clean the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst Canker
in the Mouth and Stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst
ease 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 <>f the Skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of Ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most
desperate rase of Rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the stall
Rheum.
Five to eight bottles wiHcurclhe worst case of Scrof
ula
A benefit is always experience l from the first bottle, i
and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti- !
ty is tcken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottlesofthis inthe
vicinity of Bielon. i know the effect of it in every case.
So sure sr.*- water will extinguish fire, so sure w%l this
cure humor, i never sold a bottle of it but that sold an
other; aftrratri.il it a!\a>s speaks for itself. There '
are two things about this herb that appears to me sur
prising ; first that it grows Hi our pastures, in some | l.i
ees quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until I discovered it in IS 16—second, that it should
cure ail kinds of humor.
In ord.-r to give some idea of the sudden rise and treat
popularity of the discovery, I will state that in April, j
1-53. I peddled it ami sold about six bottles per day—in
April, 1-54. I sold over one thousand 1 Kitties per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggists w ho have been in
business twenty a lid thirty years, say that nothing in the
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
u livers;.! praise of it from all quarters
In uy own practice I always kept it strictly for humors
—hut since its introduction asa general family medicine,
great and wonderful virtues hiVe been found in it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was
always considered incurable, have been cured by a few
bottles. O, what a mercy if it wilipmve effectual in all
cas-s ofthit awfnt malady—there are few who have
seen more of it than i have.
i know of several ra.-esof Dropsy, all of tbeni aged
people, cured by it. For the various diseases of tbe Liv
er, Sick Headache. Dy-pep-ia, Asthma, Fever and Ague,
Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly
in diseases of lbe Kidneys, dtc.,the discovery has done
more good than any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—eat the bivt you
get and plenty of it.
Dibectlok* fob l r -E —Adults one table spno..ful per
day—Children ..ver 10 years, dessert spoonful—Children
from ato h year*, tea-spoonful. As no directions ran be
applb-al le to all constitutions, take sufficient to operate
on the bowels twice a day.

Attachment oj Vulcanized India Ilubber
Spring to the Tubes oj Grain Drills.
'it)lE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for
A the attachment of a Cum Spring to the Tubes and
Drag Bar of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Farmers
and ali others interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, that he is ptepared to furnish GRAIN
DRILLS, with the above article attached, at tlie shortest
notice, at his Foundry,ln McVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
become an almost indispensable article to the Farmer,
and ho will find that the attachment of the Gum Spring
will enhance its value at least one-half. Ailthedeten
lion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done away with by this arrangement, and a
man, or boy,can perform nearly double the labor that he
could undertbe old plan, with much greater ease, both to
himself and horses. There need he no fearof the Spring
breaking, for if there is au article that will neither break,
rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is that article, and 1
hazard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim
plest in construction, most economical ,n performance,
and therefore the most dtifaliic ever offered to the agri
cultural public. The feed is so arranged that it will sow
li Hi 14, U, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one for the coming seeding are requested to send in their
orders as early as possible. Direct to MeVeytown, Mif
