EARLY CUTTING OF IIAY.
Some years ago I cut some very good
timothy grass before harvest, and before
the blossoms had entirely fallen off. It
was cured in the very best manner, and
placed in a mow to which I could at any
time have access. After harvest, and when
the seed had become so ripe as to shell out
considerably, I cut the same kind of grass
in the same field, and placed it in a sepa
rate mow. At a favorable time (the follow
ing winter) for making a fair experiment,
I carried out to my cattle hay from the
mow in which I had stored that which had
been cut while green, (before harvest,) and
fed to each a separate parcel. After they
had fairly commenced feeding upon it, I
carried to each a parcel of that which had
been cut after harvest; and from which the
seed shelled when it was handled. In every
instance the caftle immediately quit the
" beautiful green bay" and ate up clean
that which was cut after harvest, before
touching the former. Indeed in many in
stances, they threw from their mouths
the green hay, the sooner to get at the
other. I repeatedly tried the same exper
iment, and the result was the same in every
instance. The reason of the preference ;
shown by the cattle for the hay cut after
harvest, I suppose to be this : it was much
more easily masticated, and sweeter in !
flavor than the other; that it retained, in ;
the stems, leaves and seeds, all the nutritive j
matter which it possessed when green, and i
probably with some additions, derived from j
the earth and atmosphere, over and above j
that of the green hay.
The green, early cut hay, although it
retailed : ts green and beautiful appearance,
was tough and difficult to masticate; and
Very probably the crude and unclaborate
sap acquired an acid and bitterish taste
which was disagreeable to the palate, and
deleterious to the health of the cattle.—
Be this as it may, the experiments fully
satisfied me that the cattle were more fend
of the latter cut hay; that they would eat
more of it, and keep in better condition '
upon it, than the earlier cut green hay. I
have net so pefectly experimented in regard
to horses and sheep; but I have observed i
that they always made the same choice j
with the cattle when opportunity offered —
no doubt for the same reasons.— Cor. of
the Country Gentleman.
FRUIT AND FLOWERS.
How to keep them Fresh. —A friend has
informed us that fruit and flowers may be
preserved from decay and failing by immer
sing them in solution of gumarabic and wa
ter two or three times, waiting a sufficient
time between each immersion to allow the
gum to dry. This process covers the sur
face of the fruit with a thin coating of
gum, which is entirely impervious to the
air, and thus prevents the decay of the
fruit, or the withering of the flower. To
insure success of experiments of this kind,
it should be borne in mind that the whole
surface must be completely covered, for if
the air only gains entrance at a pin-hole,
the labor will all be lost. In preserving
specimens of fruit, particular care should
he taken to cover the stem, end and all,
with the gum. A good way is to wind a
thread of silk about the stem, and then sink
it slowly into the solution, which should not
be so strong as to leave a particle of gum
undissolved. The gum is so perfectly
transparent that you can with difficulty de- j
tect its presence, except by the touch.—
Here we have another simple method of
fixing the fleeting beauties of nature, and
surrounding ourselves ever with those ob
jects which do most elevate the mind, re
fine the taste, and purify the heart.— Coun
try Gentleman.

PURE CATAWBA BRANDY.

This will certify that I have this day inspected two
separate lots of Catawba Brandy, one in barrels and one
in bottles, manufactured by Laurilze Lyons, and sold by

NEW YORK, 93 Prince st., July 28, 1857.
Dear Sir:—l have received a bottle of Lyons' Pine
Ohio Catawba Brandy, furnished by Mr A. Ralston, Jr.,
of Lockport, N. Y„ for analyzation, and I find it to con
tain only those ingredients which exist in Ft RE BRANDY.
The proportion of alcohol obtained from it is 47.00. 1
believe this sample to be pure Brandy without adultera
tion—the flavor of it is delicate and peculiar.
[Signed ] JAS. R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.
The OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY nol only equals but
even exiels the best imported Brandies in purity and
fluvor. It is in fact the BEST Brandy known. This
statement is fully corroborated by the certificates of
many of our most distinguished analytical Chemists.
The want of pure Brandy has long been felt in this coun
try, and the introduction of an article of such quality as
to supersede the sale ami use of those vile compounds
hitherto sold under the name of Brandy, can only be re
garded as a great public good. The Caiawba Brandy
possesses all the good qualities claimed for the best im
ported liquor, and is of perfect purity superior flavor.
It ia therefore fully entitled to the patronage of the pub
lie. We feel confident that its reception in this State
will he as favorable as that which it has met with in the
Great West, and that the time is not far distant when
the superiority of our own liquors will put an end to
their Importation from abroad.
For Medicinal purposes this Brandy has no rival, and
has long been needed, it is a sovereign and sure reine
dy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Low spirits, Languor,
General Debility, Ac.

THE LIVER
INVIGORATOR
PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD,
Compounded entirely from QtllHS,
i TS one of the best Purgative and Ltver Medicines now
1 t- before the public, that acts aa a Cathartic, easier, mild

is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first
] on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on tiie stom
ach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplish
ing two purposes effectually, without any of Ihe painful
feelings experienc d in the operations of most Cathartics.
It strengthens the system at the same lime that it purges

en and build it up with unusual rapidity.
1 he Liver is one of the principal regulators of the
' human body; and when it performs its functions
well the powers of tltesys- . tem are fully developed.
The stomach is almost en- rv* tirely dependent on the
healthy action oftlieLiver I for the proper perform

PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
We would call the attention of all, old and young, to
ill's wonderful preparation which turns back IO its origi
nal cob.r gray hair, covers the head with a luxuriant
growth, removes the dandruff, itching, and all cutaneous
eruptions, causes a continual flow of the natural fluids,
and hence, if used as a regular dressing f.,r the hair will
preserve its color, and keep it from falling to extreme old
age, in all its natural beauty. We call then upon the
bald, the gray, or diseased in scalp, to use ii; and surely
the young will not, as they value the flowing locks or the
witching curl, ever be without it. lis praise is upon the
tongue of thousands. The agent for Prof Wood's Hair
Restorative in New Haven, received Hie following letter
ill regard to the Restorative a few weeks since:
DEEP RIVER, CONN., July 23, 1856.
Mr. Leavenworth—Sir: —l have been troubled with
dandruff or scurf on my head for more than a year, my
hair began to come out, scurf and hair together. I saw
in a New Haven paper about 'Wood's Hair Restorative'
as a cure. I calb-d at your store on the Ist of April last,
and purchased one bottle to try it, and 1 found to my sat
isfaction it was the thing; it removed the scurf and new
hair began to grow ; it is now two or three inches in
length where it was ALL off. I have great faith in it. 1
wish >ou to send me two bottles more by Mr. Post, the
bearer of this. I don't know as any of the kind is used
in this place ; you may have a market for many bottles
after it is known here. Yours with respect.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9, 1856.
Prof Wood—Dear Sir:—Your Hair Restorative is pro
ving itself beneticial to me. The front, and also the hack
part of my head almost lost its covering—in fact BALD.
I have used but two half pint hoitles of your Restorative
ai.d now the top of my head is well studded with a prom
ising crop of young hair, and the front is also receiving
its benefit. I have tried other preparations without any
benefit whatever. I think from my own personal recoui
mendation I can induce many others to try it.

VINCENNES, IA., June 22, 1853.
Prof. OJ. Wood—As you are about to manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I
will slate, for whomsoever it may concern, that I have
used it and known others to use it—that I have for sev
eral years been in the habit of using other Hair Reslora
lives, and lhat I find yours vastly superior to any other I
know. It entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and
with one month's proper use will restore any person's
hair to the original youthful color and texture, giving it a
healthy, soft and glossy appearance ; and all this without
discoloring the bands that apply it, or the dressTm which
it drops. I would therefore recommend its use to every
one desirous of having a find color and texture to hair.

Dr. J. WILLIAMS, Chemist and Pharmaceutist, after
stud} itig closely ttie practices of l)rs. Abernethy and J.
Johnston, England, and observing the nature of the dis
ease in ail its stages, during a sojourn in the southern
and western portions of the United States, where it pre
vails to a greater extent lhan elsewhere, procured from
South America certain roots and herbs from which he
prepared an "Elixir," which, after eighteen years' use in
private practice, lias proved itself more efficacious in the
cure of Dyspepsy than any medicine that hag ever been
prepared in any age or clime for the same purjiose.
Having submitted it, with an explanation of its compo
nents, to a number of physicians of Philadelphia, among
whom were the late Drs Joseph Hartshorne and J. C.
Morton, it has received their entire approval, and many
of the medical faculty are now not only prescribing it for
their patients but are using it themselves, personally and
in their families. As a tonic it is unequalled, and its
properties are of go invigorating a nature that it is given
with perfect safety and success tolhe most tender infants.
The Elixir is very gradual, but certain in its action upon
the organs of digestion, the increased secretions of the.
liver, pancreas and mucous membranes of the stomach,
and requires that only one dose be taken in twenty-four
hours; for confirmed Dyspepsy can only be cured by trrad
unity restoring the organs of digestion to a healthy slate
The great success met wilh in curing the most aggravated
cases of Dyspepsy, accompanied sometimes with a high
grade of hypochondriasis, lias established the most un
bounded confidence in the curative properties of 1 his
Elixir, in corroboration of which read the following testi
monials :
ATTESTATION —We, having used Williams' Anli Dys
peptic Rlixir with the most perfect satisfaction and suc
cess, take great pleasure in recommending it to all per
sons suffering with Dyspepsy, as we are fully convinced
of its most estimable qualities in restoring the digestive
powers, removing all pains arid uneasiness, and impart
ing a healthy tone to the stomach.

Testimony of // -Y. sperry, who was abandoned us incur
able and given up to die.
Dr. J. Williams—Dear Sir—Fur fifteen years previous
to 1854, 1 suffered so much from dyspepsy that 1 became
completely prostrated both in mind and body, and at
length became so weakened 1 could not attend to my husi
ness, and was sinking into a decline, and it was believed
I never could recover. The best medical aid was procured
for me, and every means resorted to without any relief,
till I was advised to use your Elixir, and from the time I
began taking il 1 gradually improved till 1 was completely
restored to health. The dreadful sufferings I endured
from dyspepsy 1 cannot describe; but I am confident that
without the use of your Elixir 1 should be in my grave.
I assert that I solemnly believe your Elixir has saved me
from ari early death. 1 continue now in the enjoyment
of most excel eut health. H N. S'PEBKV,

IIIGIILV IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
M. M. FAXON'S
Attachment of Vulcanized India Rubber
Spring to the Tubes of Grain Drills.
'PiIE undersigned, having perfected an arrangement for
-*• the attachment of a Gum Spring to the Tubes and
Drag Bars of Grain Drills, is happy to inform Fanners
and all others interested in the growing of Wheat and
other grains, that he is piepared to furnish GRAIN
DRILLS, with the above article attached, at the shortest
notice, at It is Foundry, in McVeytown, Pa. Seeders have
heroine an almost indispensable article to the Farmer,
and he will find that lite attachment of the Gunt Spring
will enhance its value at least one-half. Allthedeten
lion and trouble caused by the breaking of wooden pins
is entirely done nway with by this arrangement, and a
man, or boy. can perform nearly double the labor that he
could under the old plan, with much greater ease, hoth to
himself ami horses. There need be no fearof the Spring
breaking, for if there is an article that will i.either break,
rot, or wear out, the Gum Spring is thai article, and I
hazard nothing in saying that my Grain Drill is the sim
plest in construction, most economical in performance,
and therefore the most durable ever offered to the agri
cultural public. The fped is so arranged thai it w ill sow
I U. I{, U, and 2 bushels per acre. Persons desiring
one for the coining seeding are requested to send in their
orders as early as possible. Direct to McVeytown, Mif
flin county, Pa., or F G FRANCISCUS. Lewistown;
E. L. FAXON, Hollidaysburg, Blair co , Pa ; BOYER Sc
BRO., Ilarrisburg, Pa., who are authorized to act as
agents, and from whom any further information may beob
tained.
PRICE OF DRILLS, with the attachment, .$-75. Far
