Lime for Fowls.
All domestic fowls, at- well as other animals,
require more or less lime. It is the chief cou
rt itueut of their bones, and is probably useful
in many cases, in small quantities as a condi
ment. In addition to these purposes, fowls
which lay eggs require lime for the formation
of the egg shells. Ordinary, fowls which have
their liberty can procure sufficient lime to
satisfy their wants. It is contained in the
grain on which they feed, and frequently iu
the stones and earth which they swallow.
But iu Winter, when fowls have loss access
to the ground, or when they are confined in
small enclosures, tbey have less opportunity to
select the mineral substances which they re
quire. Hence an artificial supply becomes
necc.oary. llow shall this be given? By
placing the articles within their reach, so that
they may take, voluntarily just the quantity to
which they me prompted by nature. Place
slaked iime, broke n into piece 3 the size of peas,
on shelves where the fowls can pick it up.—
By slaking lime in a vessel, in considerable
water, so that it will form a paste, and letting
dry, it can readily be pouuded into the desired
form, in which it appears to suit the fowls best.
An article is going the rounds recommending
lime-water, for fowls. If they are compelled
to drink lime-water because they can get no
other, it may be objectionable. Lime water
may be used as a medicine for a sick " horse,"
for which it was prepared by the person who
originated the article alluded to, and as we
have said, lime may be good iu other cases;
but it is a well-known fact that animals, from
man downward, are more subject to certain
diseases by being confined to the use of lime-1
water and that pure water is decidedly more
v holesoun'. I
We would use lime as we would salt. It isi
generally admitted that many animals arej
benefited by eating a certain amount of salt;*
but it has been proved that tin y may be forced ,
to take too much, either by beiug kept on hay ]
too highly salted, or for want of fresh water, be-1
ingobligcd to drink that which was salt. Hence
ihe safest and most beneficial mode of ad
ministering salt, has been found to be to keep
the substance constantly within reach of the
animal, by which they always take just what
they need and no more.
We see no objection to giving lime to fowls
in solution, provided they have pure water
always within their reach, but there is nothing
to show that this form of giving lime has any
advantages over the mode first described-above,
and the former has the preference as to con
venience, especially iu cold weather, when the
article is must required.
Work for the Month.
"We are now in the midst of winter—but
winter has its charms ami duties. This is ge
nerally regarded by other occupations as the
most leisure month in the whole year for the
farmer, it is supposed that the threshing is
done—grain and pork marketed —and that the
farmer is out of a job—nothing to do but sit in
the house —ride to town —hang about the tav
ern or country store—or engage iu any recrea
tion that may chance to turn up. But, not so.
To the industrious and economical farmer, the
duties of this mouth are quite as numerous and
imperative as those of any other month iu the
w hole year. All kinds of domestic animals re
quire more care aud attention at this season
than at any other. If neglected now, cattle
ami sheep will be very likctv to come out in
the spring in bad condition.
If you expect to carry your sheep through
the winter, so as to have them come out safely
and in good condition in the spring, they must
le kept constantly comfortable. They must be
fed often and regularly—have free access to
good water—be sheltered faom the cold winds
and storms; and, when kept in large numbers,
the weak and strong should be separated into
different flocks. These remarks apply with
equal force to all other domestic animals. A
great !o- is frequently sustained by feeding an
imals not sufficiently often, and giving them
too large quantities at a time—-the fodder be
ing imperfectly eaten, and a large quantity
trampled under foot. Feed often —at least
three times a day, at regular hours, and in such
quantities as will lie eaten up clean. The
younger animals, such as the last spring calves,
and the weaker of an older age, should be se
pal at ed from the older and stronger ones.—
Milch cow s, at this season, require special care
if you would have them yield a liberal supply
of milk. Besides dry fodder, they should have
a peck of bran, scalded iu a pailful of water,
with a little salt, morning and evening; or what
is bettor, a feed of bran slojis and carrots al
ternately. They should also be kept dry and
warm. Working horses should be well cared
for. They should have large, warm stalls,with
dry litter. We often see horses thrust into
stalls not wide enough to admit of their lying
down, except in a crouching position on their
legs and feet. Stalls for horses should never
In- made less than seven feet wide. The horse,
to rest easy, wants room to lie sidewise, and
extend his limbs at pleasure.
lx>ok to your fruit trees—see that the rab
bits and mice are not barking them. Remove
all grass and litter that will afford material for
their nests. Coarse manure or litter of any
kind should never be put around fruit trees in
the fall. If there be snow on the ground tramp
it down solid around the body of the trees.
The long w inter eneuings afford leisure for
study and investigation in relation to your call
ing. Provide yourself with agricultural books
and papers, such as treat upon the plants and
animals you are raising. Read and reflect—
and don't forget to get up a rousing big club
of subscribers fur the " BRADFORD REPORTER,"
which will contain a choice selection of Agri
cultural reading, of itself worth more than the
subscription; to say nothing of tales, essays,
anecdotes, poetry, news, politics, &c.
Hoof Bound.
The following are the directions of Dr.Dadd
for this disease, and we regard them as the best
we have seeu on this interesting subject to eve
ry farmer, few of whom are acquainted with
tiiis important knowledge. The shoer, howev
er, lias much to do with this disease ; for in
many eases he can cure it, in its early stages,
by proper shoeing. Many horses are injured in
their feet, some of them for life, by unwork
manlike shoeing, and yet how few owners of
horses know it :
" la all cases we must endeavor to give the
frog a bearing on the ground; aud in order to
do this the shoe ought to be removed. A dry,
brittle and contracted hoof may be improved by
repe ated poulticing with .soft soap and ryemeai,
applied cold, soon as tlip hoof softens, let
it be dressed, night and morning, with turpen
t.ne. hn c-.d oil and powdered charvoai. equal
parts. Yet, after all, a ruu of grass, in a soit
pasture, the animal having nothing mere than
n>is on hig feet, is the troattticut, A very
popular liotiou exists that cow manure has u
wonderful effect ou a contracted hool ; but it
is the candid opinion ol the author, and no
doubt the reader w ill coincide, that tilth and
dirt of every kind are unfavorable to healthy
action. Such remedy, aside from its objection
ou the score of decency, savors too much of
bv-goue days, when live eels were sent on an
errand down horse's throats to unravel theirin
testiucs. If any benefit belongs to such objec
tionable application, it isdue to the property it
possesses of retaining moisture; therefore cold
poultices and water are far superior. Clay and
moist earth placed in the stall for the horse to
stand npon, are far iuferior to a stuffing of wet
oakum, which can be removed at pleasure. In
order to keep it iu contact with the sole, we
have only to insinuate two strips of wood be
tween the sole aud shoe ; one runniug length
wise and the other crosswise of the foot.' It
affords considerable pressure to the foot, is
cooliug and cleanly, and is far superior to the
above articles."
[For the Bradford Reporter.]
MR. EDITOR: —As a farmer, I am very glad
you have determined to devote a portion of
your paper to agricultural articles. The farm
ing interest are entirely too much neglected by
the Country press generally; and it has often
been a matter of surprise to uie. The bulk
of our population of farmers, aud
as the success of a newspaper depends upon the
number of its subscribers, is it not strange that
publishers do no seek for this circulation in the
only place where it can be found ? I think
you have struck the right vein—l hope so at
all events.
In your introduction of this subject, you very
correctly condemned the habit which prevails
among agricultural writers, of so interlarding
with technicalities, their productions, that the
common reader cannot understand them. This
is a great objection to writings of this kind,
and the grave reason why so little interest is
felt by the practical farmer, in what he calls
" book farming." Your wisdom is manifest in
your determination to discard all articles of this
description.
The small article in your last, comparing
the real friendship, proud independence, perse
vering industry, generous hospitality aud ab
sence of pride and vanity of the real farmer,
with the deception, disingenuous servility,
scheming blandishments, cold-sliouldered hospi
tality and contemptible artificialities of fash
ionable town life, pleased me much. That
same article contains volumes of truths; and
would that its trueisms were more known aud
imitated. But enough of prefacing.
You invite farmers to write for your agricul
tural columns, and this brief article was com
menced in compliance with this invitation. I |
have little time and cannot write much; but I 1
make a beginning, and sincerely hope my broth-;
er farmers will follow up and take advantage
of your kind proposition. I will conclude by
detailing mv mode of raising potatoes. The j
gathering of this crop atwavs appears to me to
be the most difficult part; and, I believe it is
generally considered the most expensive. The
idea of taking up with the hand-hoe an acre of
potatoes, is certainly formidable, especially in
unfavorable seasons; and I have practiced with
entire satisfaction to myself, for several years
the old Irish mode of planting aud gathering.
I think it saves one-fourth of the usual expense
iu the latter item. The process is simple :
After the ground is plowed aud well harrowed,
we furrow one way, drop our seed iu drills
twelve inches apart, then throw a light furrow
over it from each side; when up, we scatter
equal quantities of ashes and plaster over, plow
twice aud leave them. In the fall when we
take up, we take a light furrow from each side
of the drill, then run the plow through the cen
tre, and have hands to follow and pick up;
when the whole piece is gone over in this way,
we harrow it both ways. This levels the ground
and leaves it in a good condition, and brings
up most of the potatoes that were not brought
out in the plowing. Since I have followed
this mode, my potatoe crops have been as good,
iu quantity and quality, as they were when I
planted and gathered iu the old way.
Yours, Ac., G.
To DESTROY MOJ.F.S.— To the Editor of the
Farm Journal: I take this opportunity of ans
wering the enquiry of John Kelsev, in the De
cember number of the Farm Journal. Iu the
springs of 1850 and 'sl, I was annoyed with
moles and ground mice beyond endurance. Mv
garden, and even my potatoes, were subject to
their depredations. I first tried trapping; but
all to little or no purpose. I next set about
discovering a remedy in the shape of poisoned
corn, which proved a very effectual one. I pro
cured some of the roots of the plant known by
the name of hellebore ; I then boiled it in a
sufficient quantity of water to make a strong
liquor, and put the ceru to BQuk in it until per
fectly swelled, when it is fit for use; and to my
great satisfaction it eutirely exterminated ail
moles and ground mice. It is also very good
to step Mister crow, blackbird or chicken from
taking up corn iu the field. It will kill every
thing that eats it, and does not appear to hurt
the germination of the corn, providing the corn
is not put to soak while the liquor is hot.

BURNING THE ENDS OF FENCE POSTS.—A
correspondent of the Ohio Farmer, gives the
following common sense reason for not adopting
this practice:
" It is a well known fact that charcoal will
not rot; hence the idea has obtained, that to
char the posts will preserve them ; but if the
timber is scorched it will certainly crack into
many small Reams— and probably some of them
from one to two inches deep —which of course
will admit the damp and water about as freely
as if the coal was not there ; consequently the
posts are injured and the durability decreased.
Many years ago, I too was under that impres
sion that to burn posts would make them last
longer. I have been a cultivator of the soil
for upwards of 55 years, and am now upwards
of n years old, consequently have some expe
rience in these matters "

AYER S PILLS.
\ ND CHERRY PECTORAL.—The fol
XJL lowing remedies are offered to the public a-> the best
most perfect, which medical science can afford. AVER"
CATIIAUTIC PILLS have been prepared with the utwm
skill which tlie medical profensiou of this age posscsee-,
and their effects show they have virtues which surpasi
iny combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre
parations do more or les good ; but this cures such dan
gerous complaints, so quick aud so surely, as to prove an
efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any tiling
which men have known before. By removing the obstruc
tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into
healthy action, they renovate the fountains of life and
vigor—health courses anew through the lsidy, and the
sick man is well again. They are adapted to disease, and
disease only, for when taken by one in health they pro
duce but little effect. This is the perfection of medicine.
It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender chil
dren may take them with impunity. If they are sick they
will cure thciu, if they are well they will do them no
harm.
( live them to some patient who has been prostrated with
bilious complaint; see hi"- bent-up, tottering form straight
en with streugtli again ; see his long-lost appetite return ;
see his clammy features blossom into health. Give them
to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out in scrofula
till his skin is covered with sores ; who stands, or sits, or
lies in anguish. He has been drenched inside and out with
exery every notion which ingenuity could suggest. Give
him these Pills, and mark the effect; see the senbs fall
from his body ; see the new, fair skin that lias grown un
der them ; -ee tlie late leper that is clean. Give them to
him whose angry humors have planted rheumatism in his
joints and bones'; move him, and he screeches with pain :
he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body
with linameuts and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
his blood ; thev may not cure him, for olas ! there cases
which no mortal power can reach : but mark, lie walks
with crutches now, and now he walkes alone ; they have
cured him. Give them to the lean, sour,haggard dyspep
tic. whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every
smile from hi- face and every muscle from his body. See
his appetite return, and with it his health : see tfie new
man. See iter that was radiant with health and loveliness
blasted and too early withering away ; want of exercise,
or mental anguish, or some Lurking disease lias deranged
the internal organs of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,
till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,
her health is gone. Give lier these Pills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstruc
tions, and infuse a new vitality into tlie blood. Now look
again—the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow
sat, joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet infant
wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tei! yon
without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they are eat
ing its life away. Its piiiehed-up nose and ears, and rest
less sleeping-, ull the dreadful truth in language which
every mother knows. (live it tlie Pills in large doses to
sweep these vile parasites from the. body. Now turn again
and see the ruddy bloom of childhood. Is it nothing to
do these things ? Nay. are they not the marvel of this
age 1 Aud yet they are done around yon every day.
Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers,
they are*the easier cured. Jaundice, C'ostivencss, Head
ache, Sideache. Heartburn, Foul Stomach, Nausea, Pain
in the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, King's Evil,
Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred comploints all arise from the
derangements which tiiesc Pills rapidly cure. Take them
perseveringly. and under the counsel of a good Physician
if you can ; if not, take them judiciously by such advice
a-; we give you, and tlie distressing, dangerous diseases
they cure, which afflict so many millions of the human race,
are cast out like tlie devils of old—they must burrow in
the brutes and in the sea. Price 25 cents per box—s boxes
for sl.
Through a trial of many years and through every nation
of civilized me, AYEH'S CHERRY PECTORAL ha- L en found
to afford more relief and to cure more cases of pulmonary
disease than any other remedy known to mankind, Cases
of apparently settled Consumption have iteen cured by it.
and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond tlie
reach of human aid have been restored to their friends aud
usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, by
this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and
threat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry,
hacking cough, the gias-y eye, and the pale, thin features
of him who was lately lu.-tv and strong whisper to all but
him CONSI MITION. He tries everything; but the disease
is gnawing at his vitals, and shows its fatal symptoms
more and more over all his fame. He is taking the < ber
ry Pectoral now : it lias stopp'd hi- cough and tuado his
breathing easy : his sleep i- sound at night : Ids appetite
returns, and with it his strength. The dart which pierced
las side i- broken. Scarcely any neighborhood can lie
found which lias not some living trophy like this to shad
ow forth the virtue- which have won for the Cherry Pec
toral an imperishable renown. Influenza, Croup. Bron
chitis. Hoarseness, Pleurisy, Whooping Cough, ami all ir
ritations of the throat and lungs are easily cured by tlie
Cherry Pectoral if taken in season. Every* family should
have it by them, and they will find it an idvaluable pro
tection from the insidious prowler which carries off the
parent sheep from many a tiock, tlie darling lumb from
many a home.

DU. HALSEVS' FOREST WINE.—The
discovery <>r the FOREST WINE is the greatest bles
sing of the aire, Put up in Quart Rattles, a single bottle
of which doe- more good. and goes further in the cure of
Disease, than ton bottles of any Sarsapurilla in use, and
warranted to cure without uu unpleasant or weakening
effect.
Tin method by which all Sirssuparill is, and other simi
lar medicines are prepared, is by ladling the Roots of plants
to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 21)
bottles of these Karsaparillas are sometimes taken without
any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.—
By the invention oi a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without heating ; retaining, at the
same time, all the primitive healing projierties of the rare
medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering
the Forest Wine the iuost efficient medicine the world ever
produced, at the same time time the most agreeable.
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that I have used Dr. HnLsey's Forest
Wiue in my family with the most entire success. My wile
was liadly "afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re
lief, aud regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend it lor the g'sul of others who may
lie suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi
cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic
ted with the above, or any similar disease, mav saicly re
ly 011 its virtues. E. (1. MUSSEi.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES.
DR. (t. W. HALSEY — Dear Sir : My wife last autumn was
reduced to a low state of Debility. My family physician
advised her to take your Forest Wine. Accordingly 1
went to Mr. Terry's, your agent in this town, and procur
ed a bottle of it." which restored her in a very shurt time
to perfect health. •

DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
DK. HAI,SKY: Hempstead, Dec. 1,1847.
A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
1 procured of James Uarr, (your agent for this place,) has
done wonders for me. 1 had been in a state of decline for
more than a-year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, pain
in the breast, general debility, and loss of appetite. I lie
came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave mv
room for more than two months: my friends told me 1
had the Consumption and despaired of my recoveay. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any lucdiciuc
I had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pills
were procured. The first dose of the f'ills brought up from
my stomach, much phlein aud greenish matter, aud my
stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking
your Forest Wine three times a day. my appetite began to
return immediately, my cough left me, and in less than
two weeks 1 was almost well. I now enjoy better health
than 1 ever did before, having increased twenty-five ponnds
in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine aud Pills are highly
valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely to
their virtues. Yours, respectfully,
M ARTFN CALDWELL.
AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS.
Mr. T. J. Gillies, a highly respectable Merchant of No.
JOS Broadway, New York, cured of a severe affection of
the Kidneys by the Forest Wine and Pills.
Dr. G. W. H ALSEY : New-York, March 12,1853.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year 1 had a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me quite
unlit for business. L procured your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me in a few weeks time, aud 1 have since en
joyed better health than 1 had for many years previously.
1- nun their efficacy in my oainease,and from what I know
your medicines to have done for others, I am induced to
rccmumcml them as the best medicines with which I am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
T. J GILLIES.
