Canada Thistle.
The common thistle, as is well known, has j
an annual root and is propagated entirely from
seed. Ilenee, it is easily got rid of by any
means tending to prevent its going to seed.—
The Canada Thistle is also an annual so far as
the plant is concerned, but its root is perennial
aud jointed, each joint, like that of the elder, j
prodiM'iug a distinct plant, lleu*e when the,
ground containing Canada Thistle is ploughed
and harrowed, the roots are more widely dis
persed, and the plants greatly multiplied.—
This pest is extensively sjtread in the Northern
part of the State of New York, from whence
it lias been introduced into Pennsylvania, and
several other of the Middle States. Some- j
times the seeds have been mixed witn those ol
timothy and other grasses, and sometimes they
have been transported, attached to the wool of
sheep driven from the North. Whenever the
weeds gets hold of the soil, its creeping roots
so tenacious of life, make it oue of the worst j
pests known to the farmer. j
A great many devices have been resorted to
for t he eradication and destruction of the t'auuda j
Thistle. Some aim at the entire removal of j
the root by extirpating machines contrived to 1
cut oil'and harrow up the roots. Others rely
upon mowing down the thistles when they are j
in full bloom, as a most certain method.— I
After cutting down, some common-salt applied
to the stems or crowns of the roots, makes the
destruction much more sure. It is an admitted
fact, that the life of trees and plants, when
these are not in the torpid state in which they ,
arc enabled to exist in winter, depends upon a 1
function performed by their leaves ortwigs.de- |
prived of the use of which for a given time, !
during the season of their growth, trees and ,
plants inevitably die. Low and frequent |
rutting down in summer about the blooming
iieriod will doubtless destroy plants however j
tenacious of life thev may lie, since the roots j
are as i.meh indebted for life to their leaves or
twigs, as the leaves are to the roots. Neither !
long, without the aid of the other
important members of the system. Much in
teresting and practical information relative to !
the various expedients resorted to in Luroje
fir the eradication of thistle, eonch-gr. si and
other weeds with creeping and tenacious roots,
will be found mentioned in the Farmer's,
Encyclopaedia under the heads of Thistles. Ac. j

Orchards, Apples, and the Market.
" David, I am going to quit the nursery !
business. In twenty-one years fruit will lie a >
drug in New York city. H bv, everybody is [
setting out orchards. Just look around this
neighborhood I There is deacon Jones has j
just set out 500 trees; Tom Smith 400, and his
brother Jim will have 1000 next spring, and j
so 011 at that rate all over the country—graft-;
ed fruit, too, none of it for cider. Now what
do yon suppose is to become of all these apples
I tell you what it is, David we must wind up
the nursery business or we shall break flat.
Every body is going crazy about fruit. Every
bodv will grow it, but uo body buy it, a few
years hence."
This prognostication was made more than
twentv years ago by a sensible man engaged in
propagating choice fruits for sale in Central
New York, and 110 doubt the speaker honestly
believed the days of the nursery man were well
nigh numered. Brother David, however, was
of a different opinion. He did not believe it
wnn mi i-asv to overstock the market with such
fruit *as no other than American soil and
climate can produce. He did not believe 'ere
twenty years' time would elapse everybody
would have an orchard, the products of which
would be so unsaleable, and the business so un
profitable, the owner could have no desire to
plant more or better, or newer varieties of trees ;
consequently he urged that the business should
lie perseveringly continued until the dawning
of the evil day was more visible in the horizon.
What has been the result ? A sale of 40,000
apple trees and 7.000 of other fruits during the
planting season of last year, and the prospect
for the next equally good. The very men who
had planted 500, have increased 1000, and
some of them have doubled that ten-fold; and
yet the market is now better than it ever was
before for all the choice varieties of the pro
duct of orchard, vineyard, or garden. The
market is not vet glutted, nor can it be while
millions of mouths continually water for the
luscious fruits which contrast so advantageously
with the sour crabs, "five to a pint," which
tilled the market twenty years ago. The
market cannot be glutted with such trait as the
Newtown pippins, Roxbury russets, Rhode
Island greenings, Baldwins, Bellcflucr, Swaar,
Dominc-, and a great variety of other excellent
winter keeping apples; while the luxury-loving
mouths of old England arc within two weeks
(we have done counting distance by miles,) of
the fruit bearing hills of New England. Nay,
not only New* England ami New ork. but
the ever bearing trees of the rich plains of that
once far away western wild, known in our boy
hood as New Connecticut. But still the
market is not glutted, nor will it be, though
all Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wis
consin, shall pour in their golden treasures of
golden pippins from their unbounded plaius of
the richest fruit licaring land the world ever
saw, while that same world full of people
possess the taste they now do for choice, deli
cious fruits.
Our advice, therefore, is, as it has always
been, to every man who owns an acre of land—
plant trees. Don't be afraid of overstocking
the market with any kind of fruit, except such
as your fathers used* to grow, and some of you
still j>erj)ctuute; because the refined and im
proved tastes of the world demand, and will
have, if it is procurable, the best that can be
grown.— Oswego Journal.
Practical Hints about Poultry.
Whether the large sized varieties of fowls
which " are all the rage" now amongst fancy
breeders and dealers, are really preferable to
the old-fashioned barn-vard fowls, is a subject
of which there are two opinions among those
who have tried both. To say nothing of the
enormous prices which they occasionally com
mand, they weigh heavily in the market scales,
or till a large platter 011 the dinner table. But
on the other hand, they are great gormandizers
themselves, and are generally considered diffi
cult to raise. Roosters should be changed as
often as ouee iu two years, if not annually;
and pains should be taken, in replacing thein,
to procure strong, healthy and perfect birds;
the hen will lay better, aud hatch more chick
ens. % Ouly a small number of hens should be
ki pt in oue house, or together. We have
known repeated instances iu which keepers of
poultry have heroine disgusted at their failure
to lay, awl have determined to kill them off.—
They have commenced reducing the number,
which was jerhaps forty or fifty, and when
they got down to half a dozeu, wore surprised
to find every one of the hens laying, and the
supplies of eggs for the family better than the
whole number furnished. As to profit, we
doubt whether, if all their food be bought, the
cirgs and chickens produced by any breed, and
sold at the regular market prices, for the table,
will pay the expenses of keeping, but it by no
means follows from this, that liens are not a
source of profit on a farm. They cat much of
what would otherwise be entirely lost and wast
ed; and a small patch of buckwheat, sown at
a trifling cost, and left on the ground where
they can stroll over it and feed at their pica
sure, will keep them as fat as butter. Ihe
main point is, the great value of the manure of
poultry. The hen-roost is the place where
most farmers should go for their guano. If
obtained there, it will invariably prove of good
quality. There need he no fear for those who
get their guano from this source, that it will
turn out to be spurious or inferior.
We doubt whether even intelligent farmers
would estimate at more than one-hundredth
part of its amount the quantity of excellent
manure, which can bo made in this way in the
course of a year. The hen-roost, duck-roost
and turkey-roost should be supplied with
several loads of peat, swainp mnek, or both,
spread evenly over the surface of the floor, and
on this there should be scattered a thin layer
of sand or gravel. On rainy days, when the
work can be done as well as not —and as often
as practicable—this should be all shoveled
over, and the manure thus mixed with the
other ingredients. The compost soon becomes
strong, when it can be removed, and fresh
supply of suitable material thrown in. The
house is kept sweet, clean and healthy for .the
fowls; and if any farmer will adopt this plan,
and practice it faithfully for five years, and
keep an accurate account of the crops raised
directly from the compost made with the poultry
manure, and from the manure made by feeding
those crops out in their turn, he will be amazed
at the amount of each which he will have real
ized, and at the permanent improvement of his
fa rm. — Londonderry St a nda rd.
Domestic Receipts.
To CLEAN RINGS, BROOCHES, AND OTHER
JEWELRY. —I'ut a little hartshorn into a saucer;
dip into a clean, soft rag, from an old cambric
handkerchief. With the rag, go carefully over
the jewelry, on both sides. Then dry and
polish, with another bit of soft rag; and finally,
with a soft piece of old silk. Precious stones,
mosaics and cameos may be cleaned in this
manner. To brighten pearls, tear off a small
bit of pin-paper, (such as rows of pins are
stuck in,) roll it up, and, with the end of the
roll rub each pearl, separately; renewing the
paper frequently.
To REMOVE ACIDS, AND OTHER STAINS FROM
SILKS, GLOVES, AND WOOLENS.— The applica
tion of hartshorn, rubbed on with the finger,
will generally remove the stain-spots that are
i sometimes found 011 new silk, and on new kid
gloves. There are few stains, indeed, that
may not lie obliterated by hartshorn. If too
strong, dilute it with a little water. Pour out,
iuto your saucer, but very little hartshorn, at a
, time, as it evaporates almost immediately,
Reddish stains, on black silk, or worsted, can,
almost always, be removed by hartshorn; and
| the original black color will immediately re
| appear.
INDIAN HASTY PCDDING.— Put two quarts of
1 milk iuto a clean }xit or saucc-pan. Set it over
; the fire, adding a level tea-spoonful of salt, and,
, when it comes to boil, stir in a lump of fresh
; butter about the size of a goose-egg. Then
add (a handful at a time) sufficient Indian
meal to make it very thick, stirring it all the
while with a mush-stick. Keep it boiling well,
and continue to throw in Indian meal till it is
so thick that the stick stands upright in it.—
' Then send it to the table hot, and eat it with
I milk, cream, or molasses and butter.
INDIAN MUFFINS.—A pint and a half of
yellow Indian meal, sifted.—A handful of
wheat flour.—A quarter of a pound of fresh
butter.—A quart of milk.—Four eggs.—A very
small tca-spoonfull of salt. Put the milk into
a sauce-pan. Cut the butter into it. Set
it over the fire and warm it until the butter is
very soft, but not until it melts. Then take it
off, stir it well, till all mixed, and set it away
to eool. Beat four eggs very light; and when
the milk is cold, stir them into it, alternately
with the meal, a little at a time of each. Add
the salt. Beat the whole very hard after it is
i all mixed. Then butter some muffin-rings on
| the inside. Set them in n hot oven, or on a
j heated griddle; pour some of the batter into
! each; and bake the muffins well. Send them
hot to fable, continuing to bake while a fresh
supply is wanted. Pull them ojen with your
fingers, and eat them with batter, to which you
may add molasses or honey.
REGULARITY IN FEEDING ANIMALS.— It is
very desirable both for the thrift of the animal
and the orderly progress of the labors of the
farm, that all domestic animals, as far as pos
sible, bo fed, watered, &e., at the same hour
and minute every day. It has been found by
experienced and intelligent herdsmen that,
when thus attended to, they learn to expect
their fodder at the stated time, and remain
quiet and uncomplaining until that period comes
around. This is true of all domestic animals,
and should be heeded by the farmer. Let him
so arrange his laliors at the barn that every
operation may be performed at a stated time,
and he will find matters t<go on much more
comfortably and pleasantly than when all is
left at haphazard, without system or regularity.
Few things are more unpleasant to the good
farmer than the complaints of hungry stock.—
Rural Xeic Yorker.
GRASS FIELDS.— It is often a serious loss
when fields in wheat the previous season, and
seeded down with the view to remain in grass
several years, prove on examination, that the
grass seed either from dry weather or other
causes lias very imperfectly taken.
The usual rotation, which requires each field
to l*e plowed in its turn, or as it may be re
quired, is a seriously interfered with by such a
mishap.
In these cases, we would advise a few quarts
j of grass seed to be sown to the acre on the
: surface, while the frosts of spring have left it
comparatively ojen, and when the ground be
comes dry enough pass over the roller. This
will cover the seed, and very often cause it to
grow and vegetate beautifully, avoiding the
necessity of plowing up the field.
SWINE. —Give to swine that are put up in
the stye plenty of dry charcoal, at least ouee a
week, and do not omit salting them if yon wish
to have healthy porkew.

AYER S PILLS.
AM) CHERRY PECTORAL.—The fol
lowing remedies are offered to the public as the liest.
most perfect, which medical science can afford. AYKK'S
CATHARTIC PILLS liuvc been prepared with the utmost
skill whieli the medical profession of tills age 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 ait
efficacy and a |>ower to uproot disease beyond any tiling
which men have known before. By removing the olistruc
tiona of the internal organs and stimulating thcin into
healthy action, they icnovate the fountains of life and
vigor—health courses anew through the body, and the
sii k man is well again. They are adapted to disease, and
disease only, for when taken by one in health tlicv pro
duce hut 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 thev are sick they
will cure them, if they are well they will do them 110
harm.
Give them to some patient who has lieen prostrated with
bilious complaint; see his bent-tip, tottering form straight
en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return :
see his clammy features blossom into health. Give them
to some whose tool blood has hurst out in sen it 11 la
till his -skin is covered witli sores ; who stands, or sits, or
lies in anguish. He has tieen drenched inside and out with
exery every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give
hint "these l'ills, 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 has been soaked through every muscle of his body
with liuaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
his blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there cases
which no mortal power can reach : but mark, he 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 his face and everv muscle from his body. See
his appetite return, and with it bis health ; see the new
man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness
blasted and too early withering away : want of exercise,
or mental anguish, or some lurking disease iias deranged
the internal organs of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,
till they do tliey do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,
her health is gone. Give her these l'ills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstruc
tions, and infuse a new vitality into the lilooii. Now look
again—the roses blossom 011 her cheek, and where sorrow
sat, joy hursts from every featftre. See the sweet infant
wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell you
without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they
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 yon every day.
Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers,
they are the easier cured. Jaundice, Costivenesa, Jiead
ache, Sideache. Heartburn, Foul Stomach. Nausea, I'ain
in the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite. King's Evil,
Neuralgia, (lout. and kindred coniploints all arise from the
derangements which these I'ills rapidly cure. Take them
perseveringlv, and under the counsel of a good Physician
if you can ; if not, take 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 hrutes and in the sea. Price 25 cents per box—s boxes

Through a trial of many years and through every nation
of civilized me, AVKB'S CHERRY PECTORAL has been found
to aflord more relief and to cure more cases of pulmonary
disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases
of apparently settled Consumption have leen 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 anil
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 hut
him CONSIMITION. 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 Cher
ry Pectoral now : it has stopped his cough and niada 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
found which has not some living trophy like this to shad
ow forth the virtues which have won for the Cherry Pec
toral an imperishable renown. Influenza, Croup," Bron
chitis, Hoarseness, Pleurisy, 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.

ionable manner, at the shortest notice, and warranted.
tar The public will please notice one fact, that so ONE
not practically acquainted with the business is capable of
judging of the quality and make of a garment; hence tin
reason why the community have la-en so much imposed
upon by a CERTAIN CLASS of community who deal in the
article, who, if they were not practically and profession
ally cheats, conhl of necessity, know nothing alamt the
business. They are certain, the public would consult their
true interest, they would purchase only of those acquain
ted with the business.

Dr. halseys' foiikst wink.—The
discovery of the FOREST WINK i- tlie greatest bles
singof the age. Put up in Quart Bottles. a r-inr!r* Imttli*
of which does more good, and goc- further in the cure of
Disease, than tan bottles of any Sarsaparilla in use. and
warranted to eure without ail* unpleasant or weakening
effect.
The method by which all Sarssaparillas,and other simi
lar medicines are prepared,is by boiling the UH>t- 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 20
bottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without
any perceptible benefit. Xot so with the Forest Wine.—
By the invention of a wonderful chcmieu' apparatus, a per
fect wine ia produced without beating ; retaining, at the
same time, all the primitive healing properties of the rare
medicinal plants of which it i- composed, thus rendering
the Forest Wine the most eflieient medicine the world ever
produced, at the same time time the must agreeable.
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that 1 have used Dr. Halsey's Forest
Wine in my family with the most entire success. M v wife
was badly afflicted >\ ith Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, 1
confidently recommend it for the good of other- who may
ho suffering from similar complaints. It is the ho.-t medi
cine with which 1 am acquainted, and those who are afflic
ted with the above, or any similar disease, may safely re
ly on it-virtues. E. (i. MI SSKV.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM CO HOES.
DA. G. W. HALSKY— 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 Iwdtle of it," which restored her in a verv short time
to perfect health.

DR. HAI.SKY: Hempstead, Dec. 1. 1 >547.
A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
I procured of James Carr, (your agent for this place.) has
done wonders for me. I 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. 1 lie
came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my
room for more than two months ; my friends told me *1
had the Consumption and despaircd'of my recovery. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
I had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pills
were procured. The first dose of the Pills brought up from
my stomach, much phlem aud greenish matter, and niv
stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking
your Forest Wine three times a day. my appetite began to
return immediately, mv cougli left me, and in less than
two weeks I was almost well. I now enjoy better health
than I ever did liefore, having increased twenty-five pouuds
111 seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pill's are higlilv
valued in this vicinity, and 1 owe my recovery entirely ti>
their virtues. * Yours, respectfully.
