Into soil thus prepared, the cuttings from old plants—the fresh, vigorous wood of the pre vious year's growth—may be set with an almost certain assurance of success. These should he cut off near the surface, and in the liues or beds to the depth of six or seven inches, and the soil well compressed about them ; the surface should then be covered with old, well-rot ted chip-manure, hav, leaves or straw, so as to keep the ground at all times moist. It will be well to scatter a little lime or ashes on the sur face before mulching. The plants should lie kept well weeded, and he watered the first year, if the season bo dry. By removing all the leaf buds except some few—say four or five of the topmost ones, and checking the tendency to lateral growth, very prettily formed and symmetrical trees may In obtained ; hut this operation must be annually repeated till the plants or bushes have assumed the requisite height and shape, which will gen erally be in about three years from the time of setting. Hut more fruit will probably be ol>- tained from the clump of bushes. Goose berries may be cultivated in the tree form, and perhaps with advantage. Under the old way, the gooseberry is often injured, or destroyed by mildew. The tree method is said to obviate this evil, and secure elegant and healthy bushes and fruit. The subject is worthy of atten tion. The Potatoe Disease-Cause and Remedy. I wish to direct the attention of the numer ous and intelligent farmers who are readers of the Weekly Sun to the much mooted subject of the potatoe disease. I entertain peculiar views in regard to the cause of the disease or rot. That the rot is caused by a degeneration become hereditary, in consequence of being for many years growu in a soil impoverished in those particular inorganic elements repaired for the growth of the healthy potatoe. The vitality of the plant has become diminished, so that the tuber cannot resist the influences of those disorganizing chemical allinities that always, under certain circumstances, control the decomposition of lifeless organic matter. The remedy consists in restoring to the soil those more soluble and indi.-peusable con stituents that hsve been gradually abstracted by an exhausting system of cultivation, which, like many other great evils, men seem to cling to with a kind of obtuse pertinacity. My main dependence in raising a crop of sound potatoes is in manuring the land with unleaclied wood ashes and bone dust, or any materials that contain potash, lime, magnesia aud phosphoric acid. These should be applied in sufficient quantity to bring the amount of the soluble compounds of those substances even beyond what is found in most virgin -oils. The potatoe disease, however, like all hereditary consti tutional diseases, will require treatment for two or three generations for its eut're eradication, although actual " rot" may not attack the first properly grow n crop. Those farmers who would undertake to raise a premium crop of potatoes, will find, in the following direction, a guide by which thevmav raise a crop which will exceed their expectations as to yield and quality—leading many of tbem to think that the popular notion that two hundred bushels per acre is a fair crop of potatoes, which ought to be en'ertained only by those who arc willing to let ai! their neighbors outstrip them. Select the oldest clover sod that can be obtained—lying upon a warm, gravelly louni. If the lot has been a hog pasture the previous season, so much the better. Apply a good dressing of well fermented barn-yard, or still better, of fine manure, free from cobs, from the hog pen or yard. Plow deep, and just at that state of moisture when the earth turns up rich and mellow. If the land has not lately, or lias never been limed, fifty or a hundred bushels jter acre of freshly slacked lime should then be carefully and evenly spread over the surface ; this can be done in the best manner by a lime spreader. To this add twenty bushels of leach ed and ten bushels of unleached wood ashes per aero. Harrow once, and mark out the ground for planting, either in hills or drills, as may suit the judgment. If in hills, place about two tablespoonfuls of a mixture of equal parts of bone-dust and leached ashes, and about three times that quantity of the finest and most fermented manure from the hog yard at each crossing. Stir with the earth by means of a inauure hook, drop and cover the seed, and thcu dust a good handful of unleached ashes on each hill. The after culture may be done according to the judgment of the person most interested—the best fanner being the one most likely (all other things equal) to raise the best crop.— Baltimore Sun. Trees About School-Houses. It is proposed that there should be this spring a general movement all over the country to surround 'our school-houses with trees.-"- Most heartily we second and commend the proposal. The district school-house in many parts of the country is the only buildiug which is desti tute of every thing ornamental. The descrip tion given in the " Life of Horace Greek" of a school house as it was forty years ago, applies to a majority of school-houses as tliey are this day. "i t stood in an open place, :a usually by the crossing of road- 1 . It was a very vicail and had but one story ; cou one ap.utaieut had twu windows on each side, a email door in the gable end that faced the road and a low door-step before it.— It was the thing called norsr, in its simplest form Within and without it was destitute of i any doing ornamental. It ,V:iS not enclosed by af< iicc ; it was not shaded by a tree. Tim ! sun in summer, the winds in winter, had their ; will of it ; there was nothing to avert the fury iof either. The log school house of the pre- I vious generation were picturesque and comfort ! able ; some of the present time are as prim, j neat, and orderly (and as elegant sometimes) as the cottage of an old maid who enjoys an i annuity ; but the school-house of forty years 1 ago had at; aspect singularly forlorn and unin viting.'' It i.-> high time that school-houses of this pattern should cease to be ; and in no way can a reform be so easily or cheaply begun as by surrounding them with trees. Trees pro tect in winter, shade in summer, ornament at aii times. A honse however homely in style and material, has a pleasing appearance if it -tan.is in the midst of a little grove. Teachers should come into this tree movement as one man, and they will find their pupils very willing i to assist them. There is no need, we presume,! of their waiting for the tardy action of trus tees. Let them fall to at once, with shovel 1 and with pick, and when they leave their district, they will find it pleasant to look back at the school-house and say, •' 1 fo.iud it tree j less ; I leave it shaded." A FIIEAI'IIOT BED.- -One of the greatest I evils we have to contend with in our gardens ' is the ravages of the bugs in our young vines, i and numberless are the inquiries and sugges • tions about the best way to protect them while ; young and tender. Various experiments have j been tried with more or less success, according jto the time and care bestowed upou them. It i is an old saying that " a fat calf is not lousy," on that principle I suppose that a plant or vine growing vigorously without any cheek, on being put back by transplanting or other cause, will ; uot be injured by the bugs. Such I found to be the ease with my vines last year, and the method 1 took to insure a rapid and vigorous growth was new to me, and way be to others. I will state the process. I used the manure heap from the horse stable for a hot-bed. After leveling down the i top where it was heating, I covered it with pieces of rich turf taken from the edge of the barn-yard, cut into squares of 5 or G inches : and placed grass-side down. I planted my seeds in these pieces of turf so that each piece ! would make a hill ; then when it was time to l transplant I just removed each piece of turf to a place prepared for it in the garden with | out disturbing the plants in the least. I never ! saw plants grow so fast before, and not one of j them was injured by tlie bugs, while some planted in the usual way were destroyed by them. For the convenience of transplanting I should think that turf would be better than j loose earth to put on any hot-bed. — lliual Arte Yorker. j USE ALT. OTR LAND. —IIow often do we j see men adding acre to acre, for the mere ; sake of having a large farm to cultivate, when they have never yet tilled one half of the land j which they possessed in the first place ; They have cultivated perhaps, five or six inches of the surface, and have never made the least use of ! the eight, ten or perhaps twelve inches which ! lie immediately below it. A few years ago there was a premium offered in Kentucky for the best ten acres of corn. The average crop !of the competitors was 122 bushels per acre, j Now if that quantity of corn can be produced j on an acre, is it not folly for you, intelligent . reader, to add more land to that which you I already possess, until you have made the latter ' capable of producing that number of bushels, or as near it as may be ? Vou know very well j that you can raise these 122 bushels a great : deal more cheaply off one acre than if you had to cultivate three or four for that purpose.— Why then buy more land uutil you have ; brought under cultivation what you already i have, both surface and sub-soil t The latter may not be very productive when you first I throw it up, but by proper treatment you can j most assuredly make it so, unless it is of a very peculiar character. To F*AVE PEACH TREES.—A writer in the New York Times recommends the sowing of Tansy about the roots of Peach Trees as a means of preserving them. He says he once knew a large peach trc-c which was more than lortv years old, while several generations of similar trees, in the same soil, had passed away, 'this led to an examination about the trunk.— It was naturally inferred that the preservation lof this tree to such a green old age, was attributed to the presence of this plant. It was decided to try the experiment on others, and accordingly a few of the roots were placed about each of the other trees on the premises, some of which gave signs of decay. Not only : has it preserved for several years the sound trees, but renovated those that were unsound. The odor of the plant, he says, doubtless keeps off the insect enemies of this kind of tree, and it might have the same effect on others, as the plum, apple and pear, as well as the elm, syca more, and other ornamental trees. MILKING COWS. —AS the milking season will soon commence, and farmers have more or less fresh cows "to break in," we would say, that the best way to do it, is to refrain from all harsh measures, never beating them—it does no good. It is far better to have patience and be kind and gentle to them. A good ; many kicking cows may thus be turned from the error of their ways and become kiud and | gentle. It is frequently the case when cows come in with flush of milk that their teats become cord ed, or as some fanners say, grow up ; we have lost several in this way. The remedy is to wash the udder in warm water, and oil it with opossum fat, use quills as tubes and if all fail to make the milk flow, out the teats off to the udder. Cruel, it is true, but it saves her for beef.— Yankee Farmer. A GOOD SOAT RECITE. —Have the ley of sufficient strength to float au egg ; measure it into barrels as obtained, and to each gallon j add 1 11*. of grease. Stir every day until it becomes thick, then to lfi gallons of this soft soap put -! eullotis of ley as strong as that above. Boij 1 hour or more, until the grease entirely disappears. Then dissolve 0 quarts of salt in -I gallons of water. Stir it in aud boil the whole fifteen minutes longer. Pour it into tubs to harden, cut it out into bars, aud dry in the shade. To REMOVE MILDEW. —Mildew stains are very difficult to remove from linen. The most effectual way is to rub soap on the spots, then chalk ard bleach th garment in the hot nn. flhsrcllancons. p.LOrK & WATCH REPAIRER-11 1 1 V>' undersigned is constantly receiving from Ncw-lock bv Express, new additions to his Stock of Watches.

A Nl> CHERRY PECTORAL.- —The fol -i-Y. lowing remedies are offered to the public as the l*?.t, most perfect, which medical science ran afford. AY Ml's CATHARTIC PILLS have been prepared with the utmost -kill which the medical prol'e-siou of this ape possesses, and their effect* 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 quirk antl so surely, as to prove an efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thing which mcu have known before. By removing the obstruc tions of the internal organs and stimulating thein into healthy action, they lenovate the fountains of life antl vigor—health coiir-e- anew through the body, ami the sit-k if! an 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 thev arc -irk they will cure them, if they arc well they w ill do them no harm. ... Give them to some patient who has lieen prostrated with bilious complaint; we his hent-iip, tottering form straight en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return : see his clammy features blossom into health. Give tlieni to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out in scrofula till his .-kin is covered with sores : who stands, or sits, or lies in anguish. He lias been drenched inside and out with ,'Xci v even notion which ingenuity could suggest. Give him these Pills, and mark the effect; sec the scabs fall from liis botly ; see the new. fair skin that has grown un der them ; see the late leper that is clean. Give them tu liiin whose angry humors have planted rheumatism in His joints ami hones': move him, and lie screeches with P>n : he too has been soaked through every muscle of his Imdy with I ilia men ts and salves ; give him these Pills to purify his blond ; they may not cure him. for olas ! there cases which no mortal power can reach ; but mark, he walks with crutches now. antl now he walkes alone ; they have cured him. Give tlieni to the lean, sour, haggard dyspep tic, whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every -mile from his face and everv muscle from his botlv. See his appetite return, and with it his health ; sec tiie new man. See her that was radiant with health ami loveliness blasted and too early withering away ; want of exercise, or mental anguish, or some lurking di.-ea-e has deranged the internal orgausof digestion, assimilation, or secretion, till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated, her health is gone. Give her thew Pills to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out theolistruc tions. antl infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look again—the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow sat. joy hursts from every feature. See tln sweet infant wasted with worms. It- wan. sickly features tell you without disguise, and painfully di-tim t. that they arc "eat ing it- life away. Its pinched-up no-e and ears, iind rest less -h oping-, tell tiic dreadful truth in language which even" mother knows. Give it the Pills in large doses to sweep these viir parasite- from the body. Now turn again and sec the ruddy bloom of childhood. Is it nothing to do these things? Nay. nre they not the marvel of this age ? And yet they are done around you every day. Have you the less serious-vmptonis of these "distempers, they are"the easier cured. Jaundice, Costivouess, Head ache, Sideache. Heartburn. Foul Stomach, Nausea. Pain in the Bowels, Flatulency. Loss of Appetite, King's Evil, Neuralgia. Gout, ami kindred rmnpluints all arise from the derangements which these Pills rapidly cure. Take them persevering!v. and under the counsel of a good Physician if you can ; if not, take them judiciously by such advice as we give you. antl 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 borrow in the brute* and in the sea. Price 25 cent's per box—s boxes for ?!. Through a trial of many years antl through every nation of civilized me, AYKU'S CHERRY PKCTORAL has been found to afford more relief antl to cure more cases of pulmonary disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases of apparently settled Consumption have been cured lv it, and thousand- of sufferers who were deemed beyond the reach of human aid have been restored to their friends and usefulness, to sound health anil the enjoyments of life, hy 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, anil the pale, thin features of him who was lately lusty and strong whisper to all but him CoNSfHi'TioN. He tries everything ; but the disease is gnawing at his vitals, ami shows its fatal symptoms more anil more over all his fame. 11c 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, antl with it his strength. The dart which pierced his sitle is broken. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found which has 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, and all ir ritations of the throat and In tigs are easily cured hv the Cherry Pectoral if taken in season. Every" family should have it by them, and they will find it an'idvalua'hle pro tection from the insidious prowler which carries off the parent sheep from many a flock, the darling lamb from many a home.

HALSKYS' FOREST WFXE.—-The discovery of the FOREST WINK is the greatest bles sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single bottle of which does more good, and goes further in the. cure of Disease, than tan bottles of any Sur-aparilla in use, and warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening effect. The method by which all Sarssaparilhts.and other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots of plants to obtain the extracts. Th fir medicinal virtues arc thus principally evaporated and de troyed. it is noi to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Sar uparilla- are s -cc times taken without any perceptible beneht. Not so with the Forest Wine. By 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. I This is to certify, that 1 have used Dr. Hal ey'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 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 afflic ted with the above, or any similar disease, mav safely re ly on its virtues. H. return immediately, my cough left me, and in less than two weeks J was almost well. 1 now enjoy better health than I ever did before, having increased twe'nty -five pounds in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine ami Pills arc highly valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirelv to their virtues. " Yours, respectfully, MARTIN CALDWELL. AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS. Mr. T. .1.
