operition was imperfectly adjusted. and the
strong odor of the old wax attracted the p.l

feeding other swarms. The simplest out-dour

set upright in this frame that four will support

the hottom firmly. The hives are protected
from the heat of the sun by trees, and in win

convinced, from a very` limited experience in
11. e management of bees, that this plan is bet

tirely excluded.
The tunneled and ((minkd bottom, recom

I also use under-hives, with drawers. These
are made 21 feet long, 11 wide and deep, in
cluding seven drawer r , two on each side and
three at top, with glass barks and hinge-doors.

CULTURE OF FLAY.—The culture of Flax is
becoming a very important branch of agricul
tural pursuit. But a tow years since, if a far
mer sowed more than a bushel of flax-seed,
unless he was a very extensive farmer, he was
considered by his neighbors as bordering on
insanity. The great majority of farmers in
these" days. sowed hut a few quarts of seed,
with the view more particularly of raising (lax
rather titan seed. It is now no uncommon
thing for farmers to sow twenty, thirty, and
sometimes fifty bushels and upwards, and not
withstanding the flax is usually destroyed, the
the seed atone, as a general thing, pays as
weil and frequently better, than any other
crop. The flax is considered of no value from
the fart, that the expense of pulling, rotting,
dressing and preparing for market, over-balan
ces its worth. anti hence farmers have resorted
to the most expeditious modes of getting rid
of it. such :IS blitiOng, it. throwing it unto wet
marshy places. &o. 1 have recently h it con
v-rsations with several farmers, who have for
the last two years eng iced gone largely in rais
ing it. %%.It, assure me that if the ilax iN cut

same attention to it ui curing it, that a usually
bestowed upon the securing of hay. cattle. will
lint only eat it readift. but are very fond of it
besides it keeps them to a veiry thriving, heal
thy condi ti on. Those persons with whom I
conccrsr•d. agreed in their belief, that tlie flax
thus secured, is worth almost, if not quite. as
much as the seed.
I wish to mention another important fact in
relation to raising fl is•seed, which every -far
mer shotild know Several harmers of toy ac
quaintance, the past setmn, sowed flax-seed,
and hadev I , t) the same ground, and to every
instarire tho veil of either kmd,was as great as
if sowed separately, besides flax and barley
straw conthined„inakes very excellent fodder.
By harm ! : proper screens,there is no difficulty
in separAing the flax seed from the barley.—
If by sowing flax-seed and barley together,
twice the amount can he obtained from the
same ground, is it not worth at least the con
sideration of every farmer ?
DELictorrs APPLE PUDDING.—Pare and
chop fine half a dozen more, according to
their size, the best cooking. apples—grease a
pudding dish, cover the bottom and sides half
an inch thick with grated bread, and very small
lumps of butter: then put a layer of apples

steadily increasing interest felt fur the vegetable king

by the literary magazines, which owe their popularity,
in a great measure, to 'the beautiful flower prints that
admit them. One specimen a month, however, is net
enough, nor is it required in such connection. A work
relating exclusively to the subject, isbiranted by the:

We will mention :in • the out-et that no universal

a deadly disease, by an Indian, or a seventh son of a
seventh son, or any of the genus; the medical proten
slops of all which, we utterly loathe and despise.
Preceded by a short introduction o Physiology, and
a view of the Natural and Limirean Systems, the work
will be devoted to a separate consideration ofetich plant.
Together with our own information, we shall draw on
the standard works on Chemistry, and Medicine, com

IaYNE--It gives me much pleasure to
inform thee of the result of a case in which I administer
ed thy Carminative Balsam, and I consider it to be a
matter of duty due thee and the public, to give the fol.
doliing statements :—Being called to visit a patient a few
days since, I found be was vomiting and purging most
v:idently, with severe Tommie and Cramps in this upper
and lower extremities. and also in the abdominal parte
ties. The Cramp was so violent, that it took four men
to rub him incessantly, to keep down the spasm, and to
use his ovvn words, he said it seemed to him as if his
hones would snap in two. There were also violent
choke pains around the übilical region, attended with
very distressing nausea. In short, I considered it to be
a ease of genuine cholera, I found on inquiry, the pa
ll
Chad been - unwell the day previous, with a looseness
t the bowels. That six hours liefire I raw him, he was
seized with the complaint, and had gradually got worse.
The extremities were cub', and ht was neatly pu metros.
I immediately gave him a spoollal of thy Balsam, whir h
in a few moments was ejected tram the stomach, but on
suing it a few times, the stomach became nettled, and
he expressed himself much relieved. I then gave him a
calomel and opium powder. In two hours from the
tint• f raw hint he felt quite easy, and fell asleep, and
slept well for live hours; but on waking, the symptoms
again returned. I directed more of the Balsam to be
given him, when the tli,Paw subsided. and the patient
was convalescent It took only one bottle to effect a cure.
I hove also so often witnessed the beneficial effects of
the Carminative Balsam in Summer Complaints and
Diarrlicea, that I would not be without it fur its.weight
in silrer.
I remain thy friend,

Only 121 Cents a 'lumber : The Penny Magazine,
A new and tlezant e eh( ion of the rei...tee f the
PENNY MAGAZINE.
THE ,ticcess which the cheap edition of the PcNNT
Meuezivr. hes met with, induces the Publisher
to comply with the earnest request of numerous gentle
men in various parts of the Union, to publish a new
edition, on liner paper, and in a mere elegant style.
The publi , her, thecefore, berry announces. that on
thejirst Saturday of July, 1 tld6, he will issue the first
number of the fine edition of the
PENNY M3G.IZINE,
and regularly, thetealter, on the first and fifteenth of
every month, continue to publish the succeeding num
bers, until the entire work is completed.
The entire work will be published in 72 numbers or
parts, at the low price of
12-ICents per Number,
being at least one third less than the original price, and
when completed, will constitute eight very beautiful
and large imperial octavo volumes, of permanent value
and usefulness, •
The London Penny - Magazine, issued under the di
rection of the ••Society for the diffusion of useful know
ledge," is unquestionably, one of the most. entertaining
and useful of all the popular eiorks which has appeared
in any age, or in any language. Its pages embrace
every subject in the wide field of human knowledge;
and as even• article, whether on Science, History, Bi
ography, Literature, or the Arts, passed the careful
scrutiny and critical ordeal of on able committee of
learned men, the work may be-placed in the hands of
the youth of the country without danger or distrust.—
The popularity of the work in England may he judged
of from the fact that, during the first year of its publi
cation more than 80,000 copies of the monthly parts
were disposed of. The whole work consists of about
4,000 large imperial octavo pages, and is illustrated
by t:.000 engravings. The original cost of Stereotyping
and Engraving. to the London Publishers, was $'25,000.
IL:/ - * The Work is sold by all dealers in Books and

The Sugar• Coated Improved Indian Vegetable Pills,
TO TIIE PEDLIC
REFERENCE to the very many numerous testi
monials of well-known and in some instances
distinguished individuals, need not be again repeated
to induce the public to place greater confidence in this
now justly celebrated medicine; the peculiar operation
of which, together with the mildness and unparalleled
efficacy in removing all' obstructions, and restoring all
functional derangements of the tomach. Liver and othi
er digestive organs ; purifying the bleed, strengthening
the whole system, uprooting the most insidious local
and chronic diseases, healing and restoring the internal
organs, with their convenience, certainty and cheapness
render them the most usefui general and family medi
dine to be found.
The great variety of cures which have been made,
have opened a field for war, and every means have been
boldly resorted to by the old pid venders to crush these
go-ahead pills. The first slander-runs thus:
New-York, July, 1844.
o We, • Physicians of this city. feel it our duty to
state, that we believe the pills, known as Dr. Smith's
Sugar Coated Improved Indian Vegetable Pills,' are
mainly composed of mercury.'.'

This fraud was extensively circulated in the country
before it came to the knowledge of Dr. Smith ; but on
investigation it was Mond that several 'age concerns
had contributed handrrd of dollars to put these Pills
down, by the most foul means, and Dr. Smith imme
diately applied to the celebrated Chemist, Dr. Chilton,
and the following is-the result

OLNTLEMIN :—Although the subject was presse,i up
on the attention of the Legislature yet it omitted t o 1 „,„
vide any additional revenue for the current year. w,
must therefore rely on the previous enactment s .
The loss to the commonwealth occasioned by th e i n.
jury done to the public works, approximate $300 ,600,
and this falls exclusively on that part of the serni•annatl
interest due in Augcst next. We must endearort„,
make up this unex tiered deficiency by the most promp t
and vigorous use of the means that are left us. 11,
increased tonnage during the entire yvar, it is believe+
will be nearly rommensurate with the loss I hav e
ted, and thu , the nett tolls, will be about the same is
last year. By the promptness and activity of the
nal Commissioners and their officers, the ebure ho e a
our public works, including all the branches, are ilea
in full and successful operation.
I stated in my eireular . of the 24th of May, 1E45,
that we paid the interest due in February fof, xt „t
we can do en in August and February nest, if attir e
and prompt measures arc adopted in theseveral count s ,
