/anner's department. Frost as a Manure. We know of no treatment so directly bene-1 ficial for almost every class of soils, as that of ; throwing up land in narrow ridges in the fall j or early winter. There are few soils worth j cultivating at all, that do not contain more or • less materials which can be made available to | plants by the combined action of air and frost. ' Take two plots of heavy soils, side by side, | and let one lie unmoved till spring, while the other is deeply plowed iu autumn, and the result ! will be very visible qi the spring crop. Hut the manner of plowing is important. To seenre the greatest advantage, a single furrow should be thrown and another back furrowed directly upon it so as to produce a high ridge, then an other ridge is to he made in the same manner with a deep dead furrow between the two.— The process is to lie continued thus through the whole field, so that when finished it will present a surface of high ridges and deep furrows succeeding each other, about once in two or two and a half feet. If prepared in this way. th.e frost will penetrate far downward, loosening and disintegrating the soil below the furrows, while the ridges will crumble down, and as they will not hold water, the air will circulate freely through them, decomposing the mineral portions, and conveying in ammonia, and other gases. This operation will be equal to ten or more loads of good manure upon clav or com pact soils. In the spring it will only be necessary to run ! a plow once or twice the centre of each ridge, j and then level the whole down with a heavy harrow. . Another advantage in this process is, that when land is thus prepared it dries out and warms several days earlier in the spring.— j Again, there are some soils that are exhausted ! upon the surface, but which contain poisonous substances in the suls-soil. If this su!>-soil is thrown up in contact with the air and frost during the winter, these poisonous compounds, usually protosulphate of iron or manganese, . will be destroyed or changed to a harmless form, during the winter. The above practice is especially to bo rccom-1 mended in the garden. One qf the most , successful cultivators of an aero of ground in 1 our acquaintance, digs it up in the fall to the depth of three or four feet, making deep trenches and high ridges so that the whole acre apjiears to be covered by high winrows of hay placed close together. We strongly urge every farmer who has not tried this method, to lay out his plans now for e.\|>eriinent in this way, on a larger or smaller scale, during the present season.— American Agriculturist. Will Ashes Dissolve Bones? Owing to the indisposition of farmers gener ally to use suljihuric acid in reducing bones to pulp or powder, many persons knowing the value of the bones cast away from the kitchen, of every farm house as worthless, have racked their brains to discover soiue means of turning i them into account. Some have had them j broken and ground like plaster, which when j mixed with the soil becomes a valuable and lasting mauurc, but not very speedy in its opera- i tion. It has been known to many that bones \ heaped together and covered with some moist i substance woyld heat and soften, and could thus j be prepared for the field; but the best account we have seen is the following, given iu a recent j number of the Country Gentleman. If the question be asked, will ashes dissolve bones ? the answer is, no, uot in the proper sense of that term, not as water dissolves sugar or salt. But if it be asked whether ashes will reduce bones to a condition in which they will be speedily available to plants, the answer is, yes. The Hon. Philip Pusev, ascertained several years ago, and, after carefully experi menting upon the discovery three or four years, published in the Journal of the Royal Agricul tural Society, that bones, if placed in a pile and covered over with wood ashes, of fossil coal, and leached ashes, common soil, or sand even, will heat and crumble to powder. He showed, as the result of careful experiments, several times repeated, that bones treated in this way become a valuable manure; and upon the strength of his own experience, he has recom mended this course to English farmers. A friend of ours, in whom we have entire confidence, informs us that seven years ago lie fell into the practice of reducing bones by means of ashes, by a sort of a fortunate blunder. Being at the head of a very large family, in which fresh meat was largely consumed, lie found that his Irish cook was in the habit of throwing all the bones out of the back window. This drew such a l>evy of dogs, with voices, bass, tenor, and treble, about the house, that it was impossible toslcepquietlv. In order to'withdraw temptation from the dogs, and to preserve the bones for the use of his land, to lie prepared in some way unknown, he ordered the lnmes to be carried and put into an old sugar hogshead, placed in a grove a little distance from the house, and the ashes from the kitchen to be thrown on them, the hogshead to be uncovered that the rain might fall into it. Whenever an offensive smell arose from the bones, which was only in dry weather lie found that a little water thrown on prevented it. As soon as the first hogshead was full, another was placed by it and filled, and then another. His intentiofT was to use the ashes and bones on Indian corn, supposing that by the next spring the bones would be somewhat softened, so mueli so that they might be pounded to-pieces with a sledge hammer on a flat stone. The hammer and the stone were actually procured for the purpose. But no bones were found, exeept near the top of the hogshead last filled. Instead of the bones, were found soft saponaceous masses, re taining the form and size of the original bones, but none of their hardness. They were easily cut with a shovel and mixed with the ashes; aud who# so mixed and applied to corn at the rate of a half pint to the hill, they proved an excellent manure for corn. HINTS TOR MARCH—I'RIXINC. —During this and the succeeding month, the fruit trees should lie examined, and whatever pruning is necessary, got through with. Dead or decaying branches should invariably be cut out low enough to secure live branches, and if the limb be a larger oue, it is better to trim it off'after the saw with a sharp knife or hatchet. The saw is but a poor pruning instrument at best, without trim ming after it, especially on the outside of the wound, as it will scarcely ever heal over, where as, if the branches are cut with a sharp instru ment, and the tree healthy, the surrounding bark will soon cover the wound and thus avert decay, the object in pruning varies with the different £urt of fruit. Apples and j>ears. where allowed full scope, i|iiire thinning merely of weak and cross branches, and all spray cut clean out in the body of the tree. Dwarf ami espalier trees require somewhat different prunning, but most of which should be performed in the summer, all that is required at this season being to shorten in the unproductive shoots of establish ed trees within two or three inches of their length, taking care to preserve the fruit-buds, which are readily known by their round plump form. Peach trees are mu<-h benefited by pruning, as, if commenced while young, the tree will always remain bushy and "close," while, if left to itself, it will become in a short time an ugly straggling tree, with a few bearing shoots at the top. Cut out all weak spindly growth, except where wanted to fill up a vacancy, and shorten-in the leading shoot of each branch.— We prefer doing this to shortening the branches we intend to leave. If the tree is inclined to be crowded, a third of the young wood maybe taken out with advantage. It is better toleave the pruning of peach trees till all danger of excessive cold is past, as the fruit buds in extreme cases are killed by the frost, and where this occurs, priming must be done accordingly. The native grape vines that have remained uncovered and utipruned, may be done at any time. The fruit will come much finer and suffer less from mildew and other pests, if ample space is left for the development of the foliage.— Under no pruning should the branches be nearer each other after they are done than eighteen inches—three feet is lietter. Currants and gooseberries should also be pruned; established trees of the red and white currants require the young wood well pruned back; and gooseberries, the last year's wood thinned considerably, leaving young wood enough to bo free from crowding during sum mer. The black currant is much neglected in this country. To grow it to perfection requires the branches thinned, and occasionally the older ones taken out. E. SANDERS. GRASS LAND—GRASS SEED. —The following judicious observation from the New England Farmer are no less applicable to Pennsylvania than to New England. It has frequently IKMTI remarked by practi cal men, that, in laying lands down to grass, the bestowment of a few extra pounds of seeds, is not to be considered by any means as a use less expenditure of capital, but the reverse.— Fanners ofteu subject themselves to serious in convenience and loss, by being too parsimonious in this j(articular; they proceed upon the erroneous principle that all seed sown will germinate, and that all that germinates will produce plants; whereas the truth or the case is, that under ordinary circumstances, a con siderable portion of the seed never vegetates, or if it vegetates, does not obtain root, or pro duce plants. When allowance is made for loss and for defect in seed, when there are any in dications that it is of a bad quality, we shall hear less complaint that " grass seed has not taken well." On light soils, which are defi cient in retentive power, and where the requi site degree of compressibility is not easily attain ed, nothing is more certain than that a consid erable portion of the seed committed to it— unless in a peculiarly modified season—will fail to sprout. The rapid descent of such soils, and their extreme jx-rmeability to atmospheric in fluence, causes them to become dry—a condi tion in which no seed can be made to dcvelope healthily, or if it should, to produce a vigorous plant. The application of an extra allowance of seed, followed by the roller for the purpose of consolidating the surface is indispensable to success iu stocking lauds of this description. "WINTER BETTER. —In many parts of our country the art of making good butter in winter is very imperfectly understood, and by some dairy women thought to be entirely im possible. But it can be done in December as well asin May. The plan of doing it is this: the cows should be stabled and feed on sweet hay and other provender. Instead of keeping the milk in a warm place it should be put in a cold one, and no matter how soon it freezes, because freezing it will separate the cream much more perfectly than it will rise without the atmos pheric temperature, and it can then be taken off with less trouble. And when the cream is churned the churn should not be placed very near a fire; the ordinary heat of a kitehen, would be sufficient. Too much warmth de stroys both the complexion and the flavor of butter. In the winter, butter, it is evident, reqqjres much more time in churning than in summer, but when patience assists the laborer, the task is made 110 task at all. Butter cured with half an ounce of salt, quarter ounce of saltpetre, quarter ounce of moist sugar pounded, used in the proportion of an ounce to each pound of butter, will be found to keep good a longer time, and have a more delicious flavor than when salted in the ordinary way. Goon MANERK, BEST STOCK FOR FARMERS. — A Fanner " well to do'' in the world, asked us the other day what we considered the best stock in which to invest his surplus funds, whether Railroad, Bank, or State Stocks? We told him he had better apply his surplus funds to the manufacture of a good manure heap, and let Railroad, Bank, and State Stocks alone. We consider it the height of follv for a farmer to meddle with fancy stocks when he has any waste land, or buildings, or fences that need repairing, with which to use his surplus money. The dabbling in stocks or interest money has always been the result of short-sightedness 011 the part of the farming community, esjiecially when the money might be more usefully employed in hiring men to improve and put their lauds in the highest state of cultivation, instead of half or quarter tilling them, as the vast majority of farmers do at present. Our agricultural friends need waking up on this point, and to l>e thoroughly aroused to the fact that it don't pay to work after the manner in which their grandfathers did before them, for " old fogyism" is as unprofitable to them as any other class of community.

AYER'S PILES. A NI) CHERRY PECTORAL.— The fol -XX. lowing remedies are offered to the public a* the liest most perfect, which medical science can afford. AYKRV CATHARTIC PILLS have lieen prepared with the utinosi skill which the medical profession of this agj possesses, and their effects show they have virtues which surpass any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre parations do more or les good ; but this cures such dan gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove an efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thing which men have known before. By removing the obstruc tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into healthy action, they lenovate the fountains of life ami vigor—health courses anew through the I sidy, 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 inure. Tender chil dren inny take tliem with impunity. If they are sick they will cure them, if they are well they will do them no harm. Give them to some patient who has lieen prostrated with bilious complaint; see his bent-np, tottering form straight en with strength 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 potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give him these Pills, and mark the effect; see the scabs fall from his body ; see the new, fair skin that has grown un der them ; see the 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 lias been soaked through every muscle of his laidy with linaraents and salves ; give hini these Pills to purify his blood ; they 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 lias long ago eaten every smile from Ids face and every muscle from his body. See his appetite return, and with it his health; seethe new man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness blasted and too eaily withering away ; want of exercise, or mental anguish, or some lurking disca-c has deranged the internal organs of digestion,assimilation, or secretion, till they do they do their office ill. Her Mood is vitiated, her health is gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstruc tions, and infuse a new vitality into the 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 tell yon without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they are eat ing its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, and rest less sleeping.*, tell the dreadful truth in language which every mother knows. Give it the 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 ? And yet they are done around you every day. Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers, they are' the easier cured. Jaundice, Uustiveness, Head ache, Sideache. Heartburn, Foul Stomach, Nausea, Pain in the Bowels, Flatulency, Iss of Appetite, King's Evil, Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred complnmts all arise from the derangements which these Pills rapidly cure. Take them perseveringly. and under the counsel of a good Physician if you can ; if not, hike them judiciously by such advice as we give you, and the distressing, dangerous diseases they cure, which afflict so many millions of the human race, are cast out like the devils of old—they must burrow in the brutes and in the sea. Price 25 cents per box—s boxes for *l. Through a trial of many years and through every nation of civilized me, AVER'S CUEHKV PECTORAL has lieen found to afford more relief and to cure more eases of pulmonary disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases of apparently settled Consumption have been cured by it, and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the reach of human aid have been restored to their friends and usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, by this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and throat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry, hacking cough, the glassy eye, and the pale, thin features of him who was lately lusty and strong whisper to all but him CoNsi'MPTios. He tries everything; hut the disease is gnawing at his vitals, and shows it* fatal symptoms more and more over all his fame. He is taking the Cher ry Pectoral now : it has stopped his cough and mada his breathing easy : his sleep Is sound at night : his appetite returns, and with it his strength. The dart which pierced his side is broken. Scarcely any neighborhood can be "Tunnd which has not some living trophy like this to shad ow foi tli the virtues which have won for the Cherry Pec toral an imperishable renown. luflnenza, Croup," Bron chitis, Hoarseness, Plcnrisv, Whooping Cough, and all ir ritations of the throat and lungs are easily cured by the 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 flock, the darling lamb from many a home.

HALSEYS' FOREST WINE.—The discovery of the FOREST WINE is the greatest bles sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single little of which lines more gooil, anil goes further in the cure of Disease. than tan hottles of any Sarsaparilla in use, ami warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening, effect. The method by which all Sarssaparillns, and other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by hoilingthe Roots of plants to ohtiiiti the extracts. Their medicinal virtues arc thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 hottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without any perceptible benetit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per fect wine is produced without heating; retaining, at the same time, ail the primitive healing properties of the rare medicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering the Forest Wine the most efficient.medicine the world ever produced, at the same time time the most agreeable. TESTIMONY. This is to certify, that I have used Dr. 11alsey's Forest Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re lief, and regained her health hy the use of the Forest Wine. From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I confidently recommend it for the good of others who may Is? 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, may safely re- Iv on its virtues. E. (1. Ml'SSl'Y.
