/arnur's gqjartmeut. [From the New England Farmer.] 0N K ACR } 3 IA AX* M : Or, Cure for Knrd Times. BV ICii/.UOD IK>F\ " llow nnicli laud have you got here in your lot, Mr. Briggs ?" " I have one acre." " One acre ! and litre yon arc taking t'u New England farmer ; the Cultivator, Tlovcy's Magazine and Horticulturist, and all because you have one acre of ground? How many such papers would you have to take if you had a hundred acres ?" "If I shouldn't probably need more than 1 take now : you know, Mr, Chapman, one can "go through with all the motions," on one aort as well as on a h'undj-ed." " A man can throw nwav money without any, if he is a mind to. For all the good you got from sneh periodicals, you might as well, probably, throw the money they cost iuto the tire ; they are nothing but humbugs." " I pay two dollars for the New England Farmer, otic dollar for the Cultivator, three dol lars for the Horticulturist, and two dollars for Hovcy's Magazine—in all eight dollars." " Eight dollars ! euough to buy a " tiptop" barrel of flour, and a leg of bacon ; and then if yon read these periodicals, there is twice the amount of money spent in time reading them." " I do usually read or hear read, almost every word there is in them ; my boys and I take turus in reading, and one reads aloud while the rest work." " Complete nonsense ! no wonder vour shop don't turn out any more boots in a day than it does!" " Perhaps we don't do as great a day's work, some days, as gome of our neighbors, but 1 I gltess that in the course of the year, we turn out as many, according to the hands at work, V most do." I " I suppose it is out of these publications you get your foolish not ions about so many kinds of fruit trees. One of my boys came home a while ago, and said Mr. Briggs had got lots of fruit trees and such tilings, that cost, I don't know liow much, and wanted me to buy some grape vines, pear trees and so on. 1 told him it was all foolishness, and not to let him pay anything about sjiending money so foolishly. You have I dare say, laid out ten or fifteen dollars, this spring." " Yes nearly as much again ; I have laid out twenty-five dollars for trees mid garden fruits." •• Twenty-five dollars ! I wonder you are not on the town, or in jail at least, before now." " I'm not afraid of either; I'll bet you the twenty-five dollars, I'll sell yon that amount of fruit from these things for which I paid the twenty-five dollars, in five years !" " I >ooc ! I'll stand you ; so your trees will cost fifty dollars sure, in money, besides the time thrown away in setting them out and taking care of them." " As for the time spent in setting them out, • or taking care of them, it is a good exercise as as playing ball, wicket, or anything else.— i While we were setting them out, one of your boys came to get my boys to go over to Mr. Moody's where he said was to be a great time playing ball ; and I have no doubt your boys spend just as much time playing as mine do with our trees and so forth ; and then sonic thing is done, but in playing, the strength is all laid out for nothing." " Well, it don't cost anything to play ball, but trees cost money." The foregoing conversation occurred in the shop between two neighbors, both boot makers, in a town not more than thirty miles from Boston. Mr. Briggs, in whose shop the conversation took place, was a man of more than ordinary intelligence f>r one of his advantages and circumstances in life. lie had been a poor hoy, and by industry, observation and economy, had worked his way on in life and reared and well educated a family of children, who like himself, were industrious and steady. For the few years past, lie had become interested in horticulture, and both for exercise and amuse ment, had turned-his attention to- cultivating his " one acre firm." His attention was first called to this hv means of a " back number" of the New England Farmer which was put round some things bought at the store. Mr. Briggs found this so interesting, that he pur chased another number at the periodical depot, and then lie became a regular subscriber.— His sons soon became interested in the same direction, and the interest of the father and sons increased to the pitch indicated i: the foregoing conversation, Di time, every inch of that acre of ground w8 " brought uudcr the spade," and almost every " best" variety of fruit trees had a place there, and the father and sons found pleasure and profit in the garden after being cooped up in the shop till the "stent" was done, and the exercise was far more profitable than the epasmodic, violent exercise taken in games. Mr. Chapman, the other neighbor, was a man of the "common stamp." He looked upon everything uew or uncommon as " folly" and " nonsense," and was ready to sneer at every one who stepped aside from the common track. It looked simply silly to liiiu to see a man stay at home from " muster," or " training," or " shows," spending his time in cultivating a gardcu ; or, instead of loitering away the evening at the store, K tnoking, ami hearing and telling a deal of nothing or to spend the even ing at home, reading such " nonsense" as the Fanner and Horticulturist affords. Years pass, and Mr. Briggs' " one acre farm" •hows that lie and his boys have not read " the papers" in vain. They- have learned to "set oot" a tree,, and how to " take "care" of it after it WHS set out. Everything showed it received the right kind of food and care, straightway began to bring forth fruits meet for good cultivation. In a short time the wants of the family wore more than supplied, and the surplus found a ready market with the neighbors at good prices. Those early apples, so rich and tempting, whey all other upples were so green and hard ! and then sneh pears ; they went as fast as the sun and house (,-ould ripen theiu at three, four aud five cents apiece. Then such clusters of rich, ripe grapes—too tempting for the coldest to puss without a watering mouth. Mr. Chap man's family were among the best customers for the tempting fruit —first having learned their excellency by the liberality of Mr. Briggs, who never failed "to send a specimen of his best to his neighbor. The fifth season came. It was a fruitful year. Apples, j>eur, peach, pluin, and all other trees were loaded with fruit. Keeping in uiiud his conversation with Mr. Chapman, Fir liriggs had directed his family to set down •very aviu't worth f fruit *old to Mr. Chap- mau or his family. Thin year it as it happened, was a year of "extreme hard times. lne hoot business was at its lowest ebb ; little work and VCTV low wages —and yet the pi ices of c-vcrv kind of provisions were up to the •• highest noteh" and money extremely " tight." ifut there was one family that did not seem :ohe in the 1.-a.-t attccted by the hard times, mv.- prices of labor, high prices of provisions, ,>r the scarcity of money ; Mr. Brings and his wo oldest sons, all of them had a little " spare change" to let on short " time with interest" to their needy neighbors. One day Mr. Chapman, who was short, applied to Mr. Briggs for a "half' for a " quarter" meaning fifty dollars for three months. " Ves," said Mr. Briggs, " I have a " half or a " whole," just as you like." " What a hundred dollars by yon these hard times ! I don't see how it comes. You and vour bovs don't work any harder than than 1 and my boys do, and we can hardly get along ; we are saving and pinching as can be, too: times are so dreadful hard, and every thing a family has to buy is so dreadful high, and wages so low ; potatoes, a dollar a bushel, beef, fifteen cents a pound, pork sixteen cents, eggs, twenty-five cents a dozen, and flour, ton or twelve dollars a barrel! llow can a man live ?'' "It wont be hardly fair for me to ask for that twenty-five dollars now will it ?" '• Twenty-five dollars ! What do you mean ? I dou't understand you 1" " Dou't you recollect we have a bet between us about the price of some fruit trees I bought five years ago last spring?" '• Ah, I do remember something about it.— You were to give me twenty-five dollars if you didn't get your twenty-five dollars back from me for the products of those trees and things ! It will couie very handy just now." " Don't be too fast neighbor ! I am afraid it won't "eomc very handy just now." That was what I was duuuing you for, that tweuty five dollars." " What ! you don't pretend to say we have had twenty-five dollars worth of stuff from your garden ?" " More than that from that very twenty five dollars worth of trees and other things ! Here is an account of everything you have brought and paid for ; of course it dou't in clude what I have sent you gratis ?" '• And you have certainly not been stingy.— Why, this bill amounts to thirty-seven dollars ! it is possible ?" "It is just so ; you have had over twenty bushels of apples, and three bushels of pears, and those alone come to twenty dollars." " 1 own up the " corn draw up the note for seventy-five." " No, 1 guess we will let that twenty-five go, I only mention it to show you that there may be good sense in new things, sometimes. Now I will bet the twenty-five dollars over again, that mv store-bill lias not been, the past sea son. half as large as your, though I have had one the more in my family." "If I had not been so badly taken in be fore, I would stand vou ; but I guess it won't lie safe." " We have raised our own potatoes, corn, peas, beans, and all other garden vegetables.— Our eggs are always fresh and in abundance from the nest, and for more than two years we have not been without ripe fresh fruit" " How can that be ?" " Well by the first of June we have straw berries ripe, soon after cherries ; then raspber ries, currants, gooseberries, and so forth : and long before these are gone, the early apples, pears and peaches ; then grapes, later pears and apples ; and these continue all winter, and apples till July, when the early fruits again connect the luscious circle !" " Well, I declare, that is something I never thought of : but it takes so much time and bother to get these things started—then it is an everlasting job to take care of them." " It needs uo more time and money than you throw away on things that amount to nothing at all, and with abundance of fruit you save the expense of a heavy meat bill, which is not healthy in hot weather. No doctor has been called to step foot into my door for over four years past ! Fresh ripe fruits are sure remedies for all ailment, and they are not hard to take." Mr. Chanymau put the " fifty" into his " weasel-kin," and left with a " flea in his ear." Seed Corn - Bira3—Wermr, For the past ten years I have succeeded in preserving my corn from the depredations of birds and worms, by a very simple and easy process. 1 throw about half a bushel of seed ot a time into an iron kettle, and then add about, three half gills of tar, stirring the mass briskly in the meanwhile ; then continue stir ring until every grain looks as if it had receiv ed a coat of varnish. To know when the pro cess is completed, throw the corn into a heap against one side of the kettle, and if right it will creep slowly back again, and in time re gain something approaching a hard suface.— This part of the operation, which need not at any time occupy ten* minutes, is faciliated by doing it under a hot sun Next sift about a quart of dry lime over the corn, and then stir until every grain is coated with lime and rendered perfectly dry. Three minutes will suffice to do this. In the absence of lime, wood ashes will answer very well. Birds cannot or will not eat corn so treated. They may pull up a stalk or two, but when they find how matters stand, they leave for a true other field. It was to guard against the depredations of birds, that I adopted this device ; but I found by experience, that it not only preserved corn aga nst them, but that worms would not cut stalks springing from tarred seed. Doubtless some, slight truces of the tar is taken up by the yomig plant, and being as is well known, highly offensive to all animals of that kind, the plant escapes from the attacks of this enemy also. The seed germinates as quickly, and the plants come up as uniformly and vigorously, as if planted bare. Indeed, ever since I adopted this method, I have had neither loss, trouble nor anxiety from birds or worms ; and if I could have my way, uo one should kill a crow or blackbird on iuv premises, or in my neigh borhood.

MISTAKE.— An agricultural gentle man while reading a fashionable newspaper, a few days since, was perfectly horrified at the description of u "marriage in high life," in which the reporter stated, "we have been fa vored with a peep at the bride's trousseau." 1 — He indignantly exclaimed, "To have them made beforehand showed her full determination to irrar them after marriage." He hud evi dently read " trousers" for " trousseau." miscellaneous. THE "FARM JOURNAL," FOR 1855. X EDITED BV J. I- DARLINGTON. Assisted bv a corps of the best practical farmers in Penn sylvania.

AVKK'.S CATHARTIC PILLS have liecn prepared with the utmost skill which the medical profession of this 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 an ellicacy and a power to uproot disease U'yond any thing which men have known lieforc. 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 body, 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 them, if they are well they will do them 110 harm. (Jive them to some patient who has been prostrated with bilious complaint; see his hent-up, 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 iu 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 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 lames ; move him, and he screeches with pain ; he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body with liuameuts and salves ; give him these Bills 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 lie walkes alone ; they have cured him. Give them to the lean, sour, haggard dyspep tic, whose gnawing stotJlaeh has long ago eaten "every smile from his face and every muscle from his bodv. See his appetite return, and wit 11 it his health ; see the new man. Pee her that was radiant with health and loveliness blasted and too early withering away ; want of exercise, or mental anguish, or some lurking disease has deranged the internal organs of digestion,assimilation, or secretion, till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated, her health is go„e. Give her these Bills to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstruc tions. and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Xowlook again—the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow sat. joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet iufant wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell you without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they are eat ing its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, and rest less sleepings. tell the dreadful truth in language which every mother knows. Give it the Bills in large doses to sweep these vile parasites from the body. Xow 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, Costiveness, Head ache. Sideu -lie. Heartburn, Foul Stomach, Nausea, Bain iu the llowels. Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, King's Evil, Neuralgia. Gout, and kindred complaints all arise from the derangements which these Bills rapidly cure. Take them perseveringly, and under the counsel of a good Bhysician 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 ohl—they must burrow in the brutes and in the sea. Brice 25 cents per box—s boxes for #l. Through a trial of many years and through every nation of civilized me, AVER'S CHERRY BKCTOKAI. has been found to afford more relief and to cure more rases of pulmonary disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases of apparently settled Consumption have lieen 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, bv this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs anil throat. Here a cold bad settled 011 the lungs. The dry, hacking cough, the glassy eye, and the pale, thin features of hint who was lately lusty and strong whisper to all but him CoxsntiTiox. lie tries everything ; hut the disease is gnawing at hi.- 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 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 neighlmrhood can be found v Licit has not some living "trophy like this to shad ow fortli 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 iuiigs are easily cured by the Cherry Pectoral if taken in season. Every family should have it by them, and tliey will find it an* id valuable pro tection front the insidious prowler which carries ofl the parent sheep from tuany a llock, the darling lamb from many a home.

Towanda, May 2< t if \I I ItCi^SPTI DR. HALSEYS' FOREST WINE.—The discovery of the FORKST WINK is the greatest bles sing f the age. I'iit up in Quart Bottles, ;i single liottle of which (iiiPs more pood, and goes furtlicr in tlie cure of Disease, than ton bottles of any Sarsaparilla in use, and warranted to cure Without an unpleasant or weakening effect. Tiie method by whicli all Sarssaparillas.aiid other -simi lar medicines are prepared, is bylioilitig the Roots of |>lants to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It Ls not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these SarsapariTas are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— I By" tlie invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per feet wine is produced without beating: 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 tlie world ever produced, at the same time time the most agreeable. TESTIMONY. This is to certify, that I haVe used Dr. Ilalsey's Forest Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife was badly "afflicted witli 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, I confidently recommend it for the good of others who may be suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi cine with which 1 am acquainted, and those who are afltic ted with the above, or any similar disease, tniiv safelv re ly on its virtues. E. G. MUSSEY. MOKE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES.

DKEADFL'L COUGH. DEBILITY, AND I.OSS OF APPETITE. DR. HAI.SEY: Hempstead. Dec. 1.1847. A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which I procured of James Carr, (yotir agent for this place,) has i done wonders for me. 1 had been in a state of decline for 1 more than at year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, pain 1 in the breast, general debility, and loss of appetite. I he- i 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 mv recovery. 1 rould not obtain any permanent relief from anv medicine I had taken, or mv" physician, until your Wine and Pills were procured. The firat dose of the Pills brought up from my stomach, much phlem and greenish matter, and my stools were perfectly black. I 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. 1 now enjoy better health than I ever did before, having increased twenty-five pounds m seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are highly valued in this vicinity, and 1 owe my recovery entirely to their virtues. Yours, respectfully, MARTIN CALDWELL. ! AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS. Mr. T. .1.
