This is a silliest in regard to l lvbich mach die.
missionhas been • elicited, and much diversity. of
opinion still prevails, particularly in regard to the
best lime for doing it. But the ,fact that it is always
beneficial, if properly i'one, let the season in which
it is.done be either in spnng, summer, autumn, or
winter, provei that more depends on the manner
( - 4 - p - us:ring than the time of the operation.
We consider the early spring months, and late in
the fall, the best season ler pruning apple trees, 'as
the sap is not at these seasons flowing, and less
danger is apprehended from injury to the lender
branches in consequence of being, bruised by the
ladder or the feet of the operator; and also more
desirable from the fact that the hark very soon
closes over the wood and protects it from decay.—
'The method taken by the farmer we consider of
more importance thin the time, and therefore con
fine ourselves more particularly to-this part of the
subject.
• A writer, in regard , to pruning, remarks : Some
links a farmer will mount an apple tree with an
me, and ern off one fourth or one third of its head,
even branches that are from four to six inches in
diameter. Re says: I dcnit often prune, but when
I do, Ido it riglit! In this tie errs. WAave nev
er seen a tree thus pruned do any good afterwards,
especially if it was a full grown tree. Such prun
ing entirety dealings the equilibrium between the
branches and root ; consequently the power of at
traction in the head is to weak to keep up a proper
circulation of the sap. Besides, those large wounds
never heal over.
The most appropriate and the only really suitable
instruments for pruning, are the saw and knife. An
axe should never be used, unless the retnoval of the
dead wood requires it. The knife should be per
featly sharp and the saw fine, that a smooth surface
may be left after the removal of the branch; and no
:+ portion of the vigorous tree larger than two or three
inches in diameter should be removed, as the bate
wood thus exposed presents a surface to bro d to
be covered with new bark, and consequently will
soon bring to decay.
It is better to prune sparingly, and prune every
year or twice* a year, judiciously selecting such
branches as require removal, than to do it at long
interval#,:and deprive the tree of a large portion of
its top at once, particularly in the summer season,
as the removal of mach foliage will deprive the
tree of its ♦inor and check its growth.
Stable Moors on a New Plats.
The stable floor of the celebrated English farmer,
~ Mr. Hecht, are described ty , the editor of the Eng
lish Fanner, who saw them last summer, as of a
particular construction. They are formed, not of
plank, bat of pieces scantling three inches square,
placed nearly two inches apart, so that the manure
solid as well as liquid, drops into a vault underneath
" where
, both are preserved, and at the same time,
clearing the stable two or three times a day, a dis
agreeable and time-comsuming buniness, is Ater
ed unnecessary. The vaults are not deep, and the
stables are so aranged that the manure Irom them
can be pitched out at once, into carts for the recto
'al whenever its accumulation or other causes ren
der it desirable.
The scantling are framed into sections, four by
ten feet in size or thereabouts, and upon the
sleepers so as to be readily removed when necess
ary. The cost of such a floor cannot be as great as
that of plank of the same thickness, and it is thought
that scantling two and a or two inches thick
would be strong enough for the purpose.
But the greatest advantages of such a floor, (upon
which the cattle stand with the same ease and recur_
ity as upon one of plank,) is the vaving of the liquid
portiorr of the manure, and the preservation of the
solid parts from leaching and evaporation which
they must inevitably uedergo when thrown into the
open yards, as is too often practiced. " Farmers
generally" says Mr. lshem "have no conception
of the loss they sustain in sufferina their liquid ma
nure to be wasted. Analysis .proves it to - be far
richer in some of the most important elements of
vegetable, nutrition, than the solid portion, particu
larly in phosphates. A. tanner in the neighborhood
of Bath, informed me that -he had a cistern which
held ten hogsheads, into which the liquid manure
was all drained from the stable and dung heap,
(which was in the yard,) and that he had found it
to be better by far for his crops than the solid part
of his manure"—Rural New Yorker. •
Ewes 111 . 23 1r 41in be-
A large number of oar -tamers in this neighbor
hood, give no more fond attention to their ewes that
are suckling lambi, than to other sheep. A large
part of the nourishment taken by the mother is ap
propriated to tbe ' , min. Ewes that are fed with
the flock get no more than the others, and as stock
sheep seldom get more than is wanted to keep
them from running down, it is easily seen that an
ewe with her lambs get bet little more than halt
the food they need; for a lamb a few weeks old re
quire as much actual nourishment as a grown sheep.
A very small bunch of hay will satisfy a six or eight
*trek old lamb, but the bunch required to produce
milk enough to satisfy it, compared lob what its
mother would or could eat, is not so inconsiderable.
It is important to consider that while they are at
the tenderest age, the mother is more or less effect
ed by the enervating influence of spring These.
considerations should induce thos,e who wish to
have vigorous lambs and healthy ewes, to give
them food of the best quality, at least tilt the pas
ture hea acquired age and strength.
In March, 1850, two of my ewes each brought
forth twins. Not having plenty of oats, I let them
shift on hay, and what they could pick off the field.
The ewes with twins beams very weak in a short
time. I put them in a separate tot, and gave them
from two to or three pints of oats, twice , each day
for about five weeks. It being them abirot the mid
dle of May, they did very well aher, and I have the
four lambs now. They are the largest sheep I rais
ed that year, notwithstanding they were twins,
doubt whether`any of them would have lived with
out the oats, which was; worth—three quarts a day,
for thitty-five days, one hundred and five quarts, or
three and, a mauler bushels, at thirty-five cents—
sl,l4. In October each lamb was worth the price
of the -oats.

*liana the verge of the grave, and so far gone that
I. my family and friends had lost all hopes of my re
covery ; and when in this situation, having been res
cued by the use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, I de
vim to' testify, with grateful emotion to Dr. Schenck,
the unspeakable benefit I have received from the use
ochis invaluahle medicine.
Early last fail, I contracted a violent .cold, andirin
consequence of which I had chills, alternated wit h _ fe
ver, pains in my right breast-and shoulder blade, with
a bad cough, and no expect Oration. I kept getting
worse until I took my bed, and had the attendance of
my family physicianAl.was under his care about four
weeks, end at the expiration of that time was reduced
so low that despair took hold of myself and friends,
and even my physician abandoned me and gave me
upjto die with the hasty consumption. My appetite
was gone, my bowels very irregular. fever and night
sweats, pain in my breast and shoulder, attended with
a distressing cough, which was very tight ; my flesh
had nearly all gone, end was so weak that I could
scarcely raise my head from the pillow, and was truly
as object of pity to behold. My friends had been sent
for to see me die, and my sick bed was surrounded by
kind and sympathizing neighbors, who had come to
witness my departure from this world.
When all rays of hope hid fled of my recovery, a
neighbor, Mr: David Conrad, proposed to try Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, with a view of loosening my cough
and relieving me of the tough phlegm, and as a means
of affording temporary relief, remarking at the time,
"that I was too far gone for the Syrup to be of any
permanent benefit." My Wife, anxious for the relief
of my intense sufferings, procured some of the Pul
monic Syrup. I found it afforded me relief, and con
tinued using it. I could feel its healing influence
apoo my lungs.
I continue to improve under its use, and my friends
were much gratified to witness my unexpected im
provement ; many of my neighbors came to look at me
as one raised from the dead.
My cough now became loose, and I felt something
break, w .en I had the pain in my breast, and I dis
charged large quantities of yellow matter. I have for
weeks discharged and raised a aptt box full of matter
every day, with hard lumps like grains of something.
My bowels now became regular and natural, and my
appetite was so far improved, that I could scarcely re
frain from eating too mu sh . My strength improved,
and I regained my flesh .
I continued to improve in every respect soon after I
commenced using the Syrup, r id the improvement
continued until I was restored to my health. I have
passed through the inclement weather of the latter
part of winter and the spring, and feel as well now as
ever I felt in my life, and I am this day a living testi
mony of the great efficacy of Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup in curing pulmonary diseases.
Lest this statement be thought too highly colored by
Borne people,l subjoin certificates of a number of the
inhabitants of Tacony, who saw me at different times
duririg piy disuse, and never expected to see me restor
ed. I also append the certificate of the

watched over me, and fully befieveil they would con
sign my remains to the tomb ; but, thanks to Dr.
Schenck for his invaluable Pulmortic Syrup, my life
has been spared, and I am permitted• to make the fore
going statement for the benefit of suffering mankind.
I reside at‘Tacony, and am well known by most of
the people there, and will be gratified to have any
perrsokcall upon rile and learn more particulars of the
virtues . of this medicine. JOHN C. GREEN.

ery from the very last stages of Pulmonary Consump
tion. So entirely helpless was his condition, having
been but a brief period since in that rapithy sinking:
and emaciate state, as to overly preclude, in the opin
ion of his physicians and friends, who watched by his
bedside, all hopes of even a temporary recovery and
restoration to his present robust health. Thus the care
ful use of your invaluable Specific, the Pulmonic Syr
up, makesit our belief, under the circumstances of his
previous prostrate, not to say dying condition, one of
the most startling results that the whole annals of medi
cal skill 'or science can produce. It deserves to be im
perishably reco.ded to your credit, and secure to you,
the greatest discoverer of this hitherto remediless dis
ease, a ladling monument and a world-wide r•putation
in the healing art, that no time may either diminish or
destroy. Having witnessed Mr. Green's distressing
struggles and sufferings from a continued caugh, su
peradded to the other symptoms consequent upon, or
attending to the last stages of a pulmonary disease ;
and moreover,
it being so generally believed by his nu
merous friends that no human power could relieve, or
protract his life, much less restore him back again to
his former health, we feel it thus our duty to our
unqualified testimony of Mr. Green's perfect recovery,
by means of the exclusive use of your wonderful Syr
up ; and we should indeed'rejoice if we could be made

may be so unfortunate as to be similarly afficted.

'ORRICK'S VERMIFUOE,
rns Destroyek.
Mit Medicine contains no Mercury, nor any other
Antral substance. It is purely Vegetable.
This remedy for worms is one of the most extraor
dinary, ever used. It effectually eradicates worms of
ell sorts from children and adults.
Thousands perish by worms without the real cense
being known. Some other reason is assigned for the
sickness, until too late to cure the real effuse.
What immense responsibility rests upon the parent
who does not know, and the doctor who does not un
derstand, the complaint which is destroying those pre
cious flowers of life—children.
What should be done
The answer is plaid. Give the Vermifoge, which
will be sure to do good if they have, no worms, and if
they have, it will destroy and eradicate them with.o
certainty and precision truly astonishing..
There is no mercury or mineral in it. Mercury is
the basis of most worm remedies ; and the remedy is
sometimes worse than the disease. So never use loz-
enges, but rely upon this. Every person will be con
vinced on one trial that it is the moat perfect cure
ever invented.
The immense sale that this ltermifuge has, is a sure
test of its value and•the estimation in which it is held
by families. It would be quite too expensive to pub
lish the volumes of certificate* that have been given
for this article, and the users of it are requested to
spread the name to a persona whom they think will
be benefitted by it.
Speak of it in ol! families, and you wilt do your du
ty to your follow creatures, and feel assured of the ap
probation of alt good men, and wilt receive your reward
in heaven,
We call on all good citizens to make known the of
ects of this wonderful remedy .
Remember, and ask for Orrick's Vermiftsge.
Startling Facts. •
Hundreds of children and adults are lost yearly with
worms, when some other cause has been supposed to
be the true one.
It is admitted by all doctois that scarce a man, wo
man, or child exists, but what sooner or later are
troubled with worms, and in hundreds of eases, sad to
relate, a supposed fever, scarlatina, cold, or some other
ailing carries off the dower of the human family—
while in truth they die of worms ! and these could
have been eradicated in a day, by the use of one bottle
of - ORRICK'S VETWIFT.IGE.
How sickening the thought that these things should
be—and who can ever forgive themselves for not try
ing this WORM EXTLRMINATOR, when they
know that even if the case was not worms, this reme
dy could not by any possibility do hurt—but always
good as a purgative, let the diseese he what it may.
How important then to use it. and who will dare to
take the responsibility to do without it? Let all pa
rents ask themselves this question in truth, and sober
- ees.

of informing his old customers and the

- of J.P.Bul , his stock of Watches, Clocks

business,in all of its carious brancjies at the old stand
