with a small addition of sugar,Si v; ry desirable
substitute for apple sauce. From the ripe fruit,
un cxeolleut una cheap •.vine may be manufac
tured, either with or wifirm* ulnho!ie proper
ties. No fruit is su.-vptible of more easy
cultivation. It will r adily adapt itself, in
S'une degree, to every description of soil, and
may, without much trouble, he made to pro
duce, even prodigiously, on tho-e v.hicli arc
constitutionally moist and wet. la< ult "atinir
it, however. it is better to adapt the soil to the
plant, rather than endeavor, by forced ciiorK
to adapt the plant to the soil. Acclimatory
mangos are generally slow, and have a decided
tendency to destroy t he strength and hardihood,
us weli as the prolific power of all plants.—
Yet cimim-dances, as well as the capriciousuess
of taste, often demand this.
in setting currants, the soil in the first place,
should be well prepared by plowing or digging,
and reduced to a very line tilth, and should
then be stimulated by warming and invigorating
manure. A porous, or not too retentive sub
soil, is desirable, with a small per rentage of
(day matter in the surface soil. When the
latter is deficient, it may be well tf> supply it.
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

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.

AYER'S PILLS.
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.

ionable maimer, at the shortest notice, and warranted.
to* The public will please notice one fact, that NO ONE
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
upon by a CERTAIN 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. Thev are certain, the public would consult their
true interest, they would purchase only of those acquain
ted with the business.

DR. 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. <J. MCSSEY.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM COIIOES.
Dn. O. W. HALSRY —Dear Sir : My wife last autumn was
reduced to a low state of Debility." My family phvsician
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.

DREADFL'L COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
nn. HALSRY: Hempstead, Dec. 1. 1847.
A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
I procured of .lames 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, genera] debility, and loss of appetite. Ibe
came almost a skeleton, and "had been unable to leave my
room for more than two months; mv friends told me "l
had the Consumption and despaired of mv recovc.iv. I
could nd obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
I had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Fills
were procured. The first dose of the Pills brought up from
my stomach, much pblem and greenish matter, and my
stools were perfectly black. I then commenced taking
your Forest M ine three times a day. mv appetite began t<>
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. Gillies, a highly respec table Merchant of No.
30S Broadwav, New- York, cured or a severe affection of
the Kidneys by the Forest Wine and Pills.
Dr. G. W. HALBKY : New-York, March 12,1853.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year 1 had a
severe complaint of the Kiduevs, which rendered me quite
unfit for business. I procured your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me in a few weeks time, ami I have since en
joyed better health than 1 had for many years previously.
From their efficacy in my OM.II case, unci from w hat I know
your medicines to have done for others, I am induced to
recommend theiu as the best medicines with which 1 am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
"T. J GILLIES.
