A New Kind of Grass.
The Patent Office, by its agents in Europe,
as is well known, is engaged ir. collecting and
distributing seeds throughout the Union. A
variety has been received by W. ('. 800 ART,
Secretary of the Bradford County Agricultural
Society, among which is a quantity of Sainfoin
—a kind of grass which must lie entirely new
to most of our readers. We find in the Far
mer's Dictionary, published lv HARI'KRS, some
account of this grass, which may induce some
of our fanners to give it a trial. The seed
can be procured by calling upon Mr. Boc.var.
SAINFOIN, llednmrum (Jnobric/tis (
j)arccttr. A long-rooted, perennial, leguiniiious
plant with red flowers. It is a native in calca
reous soils. •
"There are few plants which have more
rapidly improved the value of poor, thin, calca
reous soils than sainfoin ; and in the richer
kinds of loam, which contain a considerable
proportion of calcareous matter, its value sur
passes even that of broad clover, giving fully
as great a return, with u much smaller expendi
ture of manure. The phait lias a strong,
woody, and fibrous root, which insinuates itself
into thy fissures of ealearous rocks, and finds
moisture in the dryest seasons, while its spread
ing fibres keep the earth from being washed
down the steep slopes of the hills. In favour
able situations, it may l>o made into hay twice
in the year, or cut oftener as green food. In
the most arid and exposed situation it gives at
least one good crop of hay. The plants grows
about two feet high, and the stout branches out
into many compound leaves. After it has
been mown, it shoots out rapidly again, and
may be advantageously depastured by every
kind of cattle or sheep. There are varieties
of the plant which differ in the rapidity of
their growth ; the best is called, in France
csparcellc, or sainfoin a cleux coupes. From
France it lias been introduced into England.—
The duration of sainfoin depends on the nature
of the soil, and the state it was in with respect
to weeds when it was sown. A cold, wctsub
soil soon destroys the mots, whereas a free and
dry one, whether rocky or gravelly, gives them
vigour. Grass and weeds, which choke the
cfown of the plant, soon causes it to decay, as
is the case with lueerii. With every advant
age, it may last in vigour ten years, especially
if it is occasionally invigorated with a top
dressingof manure or ashes, or, which is best
of all, with diluted urine, or the drainings from
dunghills. During that time It may be cut
twice for hay every year, taking care to cut it
before the flower is faded or the seed formed ;
and if sheep are folded on it after the second
cutting, the next crop will well repay the
trouble. It is usually sown in spring in a crop
by barley or oats, which should be sown thin
in order that the sainfoin may not be smother
ed. The land should have been prepared by a
cleansing crop. From three to four bushels of
seed may be sown, harrrowed in, and rolled.—
It is not often drilled, although this method,
by allowing the use of the hoc between the
rows, would much strengthen the young plants,
aud protect them against coarse grasses, which
arc their greatest enemies. In the first- year
the sainfoin should not be fed off by sheep ;
and if it is mown, it should not be mown too
close to the ground. The crown of the root
in the young plant rises a little above the
ground, and if this lie bit off, or cut with the
scythe, the plant dies. It is useful to harrow
tlic ground lightly, to draw the earth round
the roots, and to destroy seed weeds soon after
the barley or oats are reaped. The sainfoin
docs not produce a large crop the first year, for
some of the seeds will lie a twelvemonth in the
ground before they spring up. It is in perfec
tion after the second year, when a portion may
be reserved for seed. Sainfoin hay is extremely
nourishing for every kind of cattle, especially
if it has been made without rain. Although
it is not apt to heat in the stack, it must be
put up in a very dry state ; and if it has
suffered from rain, too much care cannot be
taken thoroughly to dry it ; for the water in
sinuates itself by capillary attraction into the
hollow stems, and is long in evaporating, so
that when it feels quite dry it may yet contain
much water. The mode of discovering this
is to twist it strongly iu the hands into a rope,
when the moisture, if there is any, will ooze
out. It is better to let it dry" thoroughly,
than, by carrying it in a hurry, to run the risk
of its becoming mouldy within. In very pre
carious situations it may be carried in a "green
state, provided there be no moisture in it from
dews or showers, and stacked in alternate
layers with good straw. It will imparl some
of its fragrance to the straw, and loose none of
it nutritive qualities. The same may be done
with luccrn or clover. The most advantageous
use of sainfoin, however, is to cut it green and
give it immediately to the cattle. There is no
danger of their being hoven by it, for it ferments
very slowly, owing to the fibrous nature of the
stem. If the situation of the field admits of
occasional irrigation, without danger of the
water stagnating, the produce of the saiufoiu
will be greatly increased ; and it may then be
cut four or even live times in a season without
fear of exhausting its strength. When it
begins to appear thin on the ground, and other
plants seem to get the better of the sainfoin,
it Ls time to break it up. The land will be
found much improved in fertility by the sanfoiu.
A poor chalk or gravel, which before would
scarcely repay the seed sown in it, will now,
by the gradual decay of the roots and fibres of
the sainfoin, produce several good crops with
out any other manure. The prudent farmer,
however, will not entirely destroy, by related
crops of grdfn, that cohesion of the soil which
is produced by the roots of the sainfoin ; but
by a judicious course and proper application of
the manure, which the sainfoin enabled him to
make, lie will keep up the newly-acquired
fertility until, in the course of ten or twelve
years he-can again sow sainfoin seed in it with
the prospect of a crop more abundant than the
first. Many a poor, barren tract of calcareous
rock and gravel has liecn fertilized and raised
in value by the sole effect of the sainfoin, with
out which it must have remained in its unpro
ductive state."
GREEN HOISE.—AH plants requiring a shift,
should now receive it, as a pressure of work
coming on in a few weeks, uiav prevent its be
ing done at that time ; cleanliness must also be
kept iu view. All plants that require training
should now lie attended to. Admit air at every
fu vocable opportunity.

Deep Cultivation.
Ila ring directed my attention somewhat to 1
a deeper cultivation of the soil, and advantages
arising therefrom, in the fall of '53,1 purchased
a Michigan Double Plow, and used it for plow
ing mv a's stubble, first hauling out the ma
nure which covered but a part of the field,)
and plowed it to the depth of 12 inches or
more. Covering to that depth the manure and
a greater part of the top soil, it gave the field
a different appearance than it ever presented
before. A subsoil of sor 6 inehes seemed but
a poor prospect for a crop of wheat, and the
question was frequently asked, " What do you
expect to raise on that field ?" However, I
prepared the ground, and drilled in the wheat.
It came up uncommonly well and covered the
ground. As to the average yield per acre, I
cannot say, not having thrashed all yet. But
am confident on the manured part there was at
least 35 bushels j>cr acre. To the remaining
part of the field, 1 applied 300 lbs of Jordan's
Phosphate of Lime per acre, which did not
benefit the wheat much, but had an astonishing
effect on the young timothy, forcing it to such
a growth as to injure the wheat. The grain
on this part was perfect and weighed heavier
than the other, but the wheat did not shell out
—hence less the yield. In the spring of '54,
I used the same plow for corn, plowing the
same depth. I plowed about six acres with it,
leaving one acre in the middle of the field, for
this I used a common plow, prepared the
ground and planted the corn. It came up
equally well all over the field, and no difference
could be seen for two or three weeks, when
there was a marked difference in the color.—
That on the subsoiled part was a pale yellow,
and looked rather sickly, while the other was a
dark green, and looked much more like making
a crop. Tiiis had a tendency to doubt on my
part as to it answering for corn. But as the
season advanced so did the corn, particularly
that which grew on the subsoiled part of the
field, and in a few weeks there was also a
marked difference in favor of that subsoiled,
and the yield was one-third more per acre and
of a superior quality. I have also used it for
vegetables, and find the same beneficial results.
I will add that 1 have full faith in subsoiling,
and believe the Michigan Double Plow to be
preferable to any other that has come under
my notice.— Farm Journal.
AGRICULTURE.
Bounteous source of honest wealth,
Source of liappiuess and health,
All the treasure of the fields,
Agriculture freely yields.
From the field we all are fed—
From the ground on which we tread—
From her inexliaustcd store,
Prince and peasant, rich and poor—
All are nourished by her care.
All her generous bounty share.
But the soil must first be tilled,
Krc a harvest crowns the field,
Bain and dew must lend their aid ;
Light must sliiup, and darkness shade ;
Care its fostering hand extend,
Daily toil his steps attend,
And kind Heaven a blessing send ;
Or the plowman hopes in vain,
Ceres' bounty to obtain.
B( TTKR MAKING.—Not one pound in five of
the butter sold in our cities under the name of
"Goshen," Ac., and very little "Country
butter" is fit for human food. Butter makers
should observe these few short rules :
The newer and sweeter the cream, the
sweeter and higher flavored will be the butter.
The air must be fresh and pure in the room
or cellar where the milk is set.
The cream should not remain ou the milk
over thirty-six hours.
Keep the cream in tin pails, or stone pots ;
into which put a spoonful of salt at the he
ginning, then stir the cream lightly each
morning and evening : this will prevent the
cream from moulding or souring.
Churn as often as once a week, and as much
oftcner as circumstances will permit.
Upon churning, add the cream upon all the
milk in the diary.
Use nearly an ounce of salt to a pound of
butter.
Work the butter over twice, to free it from
the buttermilk and brine, before lumping and
packing.
Be certain that it is entirely free from every
particle of buttermilk, or coagulated milk ami
it will keep sweet forever.
Iu Scotland a. syphon is sometimes used to
separate the milk from the cream, instead of
skimming the pans.— South Cultivator.
CHEAP COMPOST FOB COKN*. —Having receiv
ed the credit for two years past, of having as
good pieces of corn as any in our neighbor
hood, and attributing HTir success mainly to
the use of a single handful of cheap compost,
dropped in each hill before planting the corn,
we give you a statement as to how we form it.
a load to contain twenty-five
bushels, we take two loads of muck manure
from our hog-yard, one load of wood ashes,
and three bushels plaster paris. Work the
parts thoroughly together with a hoc or shovel.
Our corn ground having received a coating of
manure before being plowed, the harrow follows
the plow lengthwise of the furrows until the
surface is well pulverized. We mark one way
for the hills with a shallow furrow of the plow,
and then draw a chain the other way which
shows the place for each hill. The compost
gives the corn a good start, and the manure
helps it out. We have also, for the two years
past, soaked our seed corn in a strong solution
of tobacco water, and have not been troubled
much with worms. Let it remain in the so
lution from twelve to twenty-four hours.
FROSTF.D PLANTS.—When plants through
accident or neglect, get frozen they should be
well sprinkled overhead through a fine rose
watering pot with cold water. Great care
must be observed in shading from the sun until
the frost is thoroughly drawn out, which should
be done as gradually as possible. Standiug
them on the floor of the house is the best plan
that can be adopted. Care must be taken
that they do not again freeze after springing.
It seems not to be generally understood that
frost merely suspends, but does not entirely
destroy vegetation ; and unless plants are very
tender, with careful treatment they may gen
erally be saved.
BEDDING PLANTS.—Cuttings of the various
bedding plants may now be taken, wherever
the means are at hand. It should be borne in
mind that one good plant is worth three bad
ones at the time of bedding out.
If Man's inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn, what is the effect

Through a trial of many years and through every nation

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 lieen cured by it,
and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the
reach of human aid have been restored to their frieudsaiid
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 hut

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 mado 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 nciglilmrhood can be
found which has not some living trophy like this to shad

toral an imperishable renown. Influenza, Croup, Bron

Cherry Pectoral if taken in season. Every family should

*<>• The public will please notice one fact, that NO OXK
not practically acquainted with the business is capable of
judging of the quality and make of a garment; hence the
reason why the community have been so much imposed
ii)x>n by a CKRTAIN CLASS of community who deal in the
article, who, if they were not practically and profession
ally cheats, could of necessity, know nothing about the
business. They are certain, the public would consult their
true interest, they would purchase only of those acquain

Dr. IIALSEYS' FOREST WIXE.—The
discovery of the FOREST WINE is the greatest bles
sing of the age. l'ut up in Quart Dottles, a single Ijottle
of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of
Disease, than ton bottles of any Sarsapariila in use, and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
effect.
The method by which all Sarssaparibus,and other simi
lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling 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 20
liottles of these Sarsaparilias are sometimes taken w ithont
any perceptible lienefit. Not so with the Forest Wine
Dy the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without beating ; retaining, at the
same time, all 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. Halsey'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 speedv 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 tor the good of others who mac
ho suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi
cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic
ted with the alsive, or any similar disease, may safely re
ly on its virtues. E. G. M USSfcfl'.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM CO HOES.
Dr. G. W. Hai.skv—Dear Sir : My wile 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 short time
to perfect health.

DREADFUL UOUGII. DEBILITY. AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
Dr. Hai.sey: Hempstead. Dee. 1,1*47.
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. 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. 1 be

room for more than two months; my friends told me "l
had the Consumption and despaired of mv recoveay. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
1 had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pills
were procured. The first dose of the Pills brought up from
my stomach, mneh phlcin and greenish matter, and iny
stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking
your Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite began to
return immediately, my rough left me, and in less than
two weeks I was almost well. 1 now enjuv better health
than I ever did before, havinginrreasedtwentv-five pounds
in 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.
