SICKS OF A HORSE'S TEMPER — THE EAR. —
The size, position and motion of the ears of a
horse are iraporlantpttints. Those rather small
than large, placed not too far apart, ereet, and
quiet in motion, indicate both breeding and
spirit ; and if a horse is in the frequent habit
of carry ing me ear forward aud the other i a k
ward. and especially if he do'-sso on a journey,
bo wih generally pos.-css both /pint and endu
rance. The stretching of the oars in contrary
directions show that he is attentive to every-1
thing that is pasiiug around him, and while he
is doing this he canr.ot be much fatigued, nor ;
Lkely soon to become no.
It has been remarked, that few horses sleep
v itbout pointing one car forward and one back
ward iu order that they may receive notice of
the approach of any objects in any direction.
When horses or nu.dc-a march in company at
night, tliose iu front direct their ear forward ;
and thoaa in the middle of the traiu turu thorn
laterally, thus seeming to be actuated by
one feeling, which watches their general j
safety.
The car of the horse is one of the most
beautiful parts about him, HUD by this is the
temper more safely indicated. The ear is more :
intelligible even than the eye ; and a person i
accustomed to the horse, can toll, by the ex- >
presaive motion of the organ, almost all that j
l;e thinks or means. When a horse lays his j
ears Oat bach on his neck, he mot assuredly j
means mi.-chief, and bystanders should beware !
of his her is or feet. In play the ears will be j
1 lid back, bat, not so decidedly nor so long.— '
A quirk change in their position, aud more i
particularly the expression of the eye at the
time will distinguish between playfulness aud |
% ice.
Tite hearing of the horoh is remarkably acute. !
A thousand vibrations of the air, too slight to j
make iraprcssiou iu the human car, are readily '
perceived by Lim. It is a well known to every '
hunting man, that the cry of hounds will be j
recognized by the horse, and his ears will be !
erect, and he will be all spirit, and impatience,
a considerable time before the rider is conscious ;
of the least sound. — The Horse atul the Rider, j
PREPARE BONES FOR MANURE.—Let a barrel J
or hogshead be set in some convenient place, I
wherein all the bones usually scattered from !
the kitchen may be collected. This will save ;
the farmer's back yard from one source of
offouco, and his promises from the annoyance i
of prowling curs, if no more. Put in first a i
layer of ashes, and then spread on the bones j
—tho more evenly the better—then add more I
a ales, aud sufficient water to keep them well i
moistened, but not so as to leaeh. Continue j
the addition of bones, keeping on sufficient i
ashes to cover them, and generally before the :
barrel is full those at the bottom will become ,
a so ft paste-iikomass, readily cut with a shovel, !
and then should be mixed with ashes. Tiie j
whole forms an excellent application to almost
any ci op, either of the held or garden. We !
have tried it upon the latter with the best I
effect, especially upon cabbages, turnips, beans
and various vines.
Such a preparation of bones have been aj> ;
plied to corn in the hill, at the rate of half a
pint to each, and produced a greater product i
than half that quantity of guano applied at
the same time for the purpose of comparison. !
It has been used year after year, upon the same !
held and always with the best success—each i
crop seeming better than the last. We hope j
tbtse remarks will set our economical people to
work, for if this bo done manure, compared I
v illi guano, is worth $3O per ton, it is will well
worth saving—and the thousands of scattered •
and wasted sources of fertility may better be
employed than to go to Peru for an article far
less profitable, considering co3t and result.—
Rural New Yorker.
APH.ES FOR STOCK. —We have a mine of
wealth scarcely opened in fruit and fruit grow
ing. The cultivation of apples particularly
v:il yet prove to be the strong point of Arneri- |
can farming. What the root"crop is to Great!
Britain, apples are to America ! Our dry sea- i
sew, while they ar" greatly prejudicial to root 1
husbandry, admit of a fine growth of fruit.— i
I have seen statements which go to show that !
onr good varieties of apples are superior to i
turnips in their nutritive qualities, and quite !
equal to potatoes and other popular roots.— I
M ben I commenced raising Durham calves, I
feed them on about the usual allowance of milk,
and added after a little moderate quantity of
apples, which 1 continued through the winter.
In the spring a cattle buyer of extensive
practice declared my calves the best he had
eeen. They owed their excellence to apples.
Though I had, perhaps, as much orcharding !
as any man in my town, I have just set out j
1,000 additional trees, and at my earliest con- j
vcnience I intend to doable the dose. 1 f apples |
will sell, say for 25 cents per bushel, they are I
more profitable for market than anything I can
raise, aud if they won't sell sell for as much as
that, they afford cheaper and better nutriment I
for man and beast than we can get in any other '
way. I have never found anything in the way |
of domestic stock but what will eat them, and J
If I should find such a reprobate, 1 would not j
keep it an hour.
Some sort of succulent food i 3 required by i
all animals, aud apples in this country are just
adapted to that necessity.— Mr. Greek's Ad
dress.
DWARF PEAR TREES.—Drarf pearson quinces
stocks are not only beautiful objects, but bear
t.i lier out! more freely and certain, and produce
larger and finer fruit than those grown on free
stocks. They are also, by their small jieight
and size, better adapted to gardens and restrict
ed grounds, easier managed, giving greater j
room for variety, as well as presenting fruit!
easy of access, and secure from high winds, {
often very injurious to standard trees. The ,
pyramidiai form of training is the most beanti- j
ful, takes up the least room, aud gives the best j
frnit. No garden should be without its dwarf
pear trees, at once so productive and orna
mental.

CANADA THISTLES CHANGING TO CHE3S. —A 1
correspondent in a late number of the Michigan ;
Farmer, gives a elatemeut of the successful j
destruction of a patch of Canada thistles, by '
repeated plowing through summer—a mode that j
ha 3 often before proved successful. But the I
whole field being sown with wheat, the exact J
portion on which the thistles were killed, was
covered with nothing bnt chess. He thinks the
the wheat changed to chess, but we are rather |
uieliued to think the injured thistle roots must
have been the progenitors, on the principle that j
a weed will joe more likely to produce another j
bad one. Should we expect to gather grape 9
of thorns, fig 3 of thistles, or inverselv, chess
rorn good grain ? We at least commend this
t0 friend—- Country

AYER'S PIUS.
A M) CHERRY PECTORAL.—The fol-
Ji JL lowing remedies are offered to the public as the best,
most perfect, which medical science OHU afford. AYEK'S
CATHABTIC PILL* have Leon 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
efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thing
which men have known before. 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. Thi- is the perfection of medicine.
It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender chil
dren may take them with impun ty. If thev are sick they
will cure them, if they are well they will do them no
harm.
(live them to some patient who has l>oen prostrated with
bilious complaint; see his bent-up, tottering form straight
en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return ;
see bis clammy features blossom into health. Give them
to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out in 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 potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give
him 'these Pills, and mark t'ue 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 ;
I he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body
with linaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
his blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there case's
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, soar,haggard dyspep
tic, whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every
smile from his face and every muscle from his body- See
his appetite return, and with it his health ; see the new
man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness
blasted and too early withering aw av ; waut 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 gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the
vital principle iuto renewed vigor, to east out the obstruc
tions, and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look
again—the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow
sat. joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet infant
wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell you
without disguise, anil painfully distfuct, that they are eat
ing its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, and rest
less sleeping.*, tell the dreadful truth in language which
every neither 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 arc done around you every day.
Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers,
they are the easier cured. .Jaundice, Costivcncss, Head
ache, Sideache, Heartburn, Foul Stomach, Nausea, Pain
in the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, King's Evil,
Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred comploints all arise from the
derangements which these Pills rapidly cure. Take them
perseveringly, 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 brutes and in the sea. Price 25 cents per box—s boxes
for $l.
Through a trial of many years and through every nation
I of civilized me, AYER'S CUKKKV PECTORAL has been found
• to afford more relief aud to cure more cases of pulmonary
disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases
of apparently settled Consumption have liceu 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 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 but
him CONSUMPTION. lie tries everything ; but the disease
is gnawing at his vitals, and shows its fatal symptoms
more and more over all his lame. He is taking the Cher
ry Pectoral now : it lias stopped his cough and mado liis
breathing easy : his sleep is sound at night: his appetite
returns, and with it his strength. Tliednrt 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.

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

business. They are certain, the public would consult their
true interest, they would purchase only of those acquain

DR. HALSEYS' FOREST WINE —The
discovery ol the FOREST WINE i< the greatest bles
sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single bottle i
of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of
Disease, than tan bottles of any Sarsapariila in use, and j
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening j
effect.
The method by which all Sarssaparillas, and other simf- ;
lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots of plants j
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 1
bottles of these Sarapari!l is are sometimes taken with ut
any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.
By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per
fect wine is produced without beating; retaining, nt 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 j
produced, at the same time t ; me the most agreeable.
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Halsey's Forest j
Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife I
was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine :
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re- i
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest i
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 I am acquainted, and those who are afflic
ted with the above, or any similar disease, niav safelv re
ly on its virtues. E. G. MUSSEY.
MOKE TESTIMONY FROM CO HOES.
DR. G. W., H AJ.SEY —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 bottle of it, which restored her in a very short time
to perfect health.
Cohoes, April 13, 1850. HENRY DONALDSON.
DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
DR. HAI.SEY: Hempstead, Dec. 1. 1847.
A bottle of your Forest Wiue 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 be
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 despaired of my recovery. I
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 stamacli, much phlem and greenish matter, and my
stools were perfectly black. 1 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 I was almost well. I now enjoy better health
than I ever did before, having increa-.ed twenty-five pounds
in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are highly
valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely to
their virtues. Yours, respectfully,
MARTIN" CALDWELL.
AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS.
Mr. T. J. Gillies, a highly respectable Merchant of No.
JOS Broadway. New York, cured of a severe affection of
the Kidneys by the Forest Wine and Pills.
Dr. G. W. HALSEY : New-York, March 12,1853.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last vear I had a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me quite
unfit for business. I procured your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me ma few weeks time, and I have since en
jo}eel better health than I had for manv year previously
F rom their efficacy in my OAin case, and from what I know
your medicines to have done for others, I am induced to
recommend them as the best medicines with which I am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
_ _ T. J GILLIES.
DYSPEPSIA.
~ T *' ere are thousands cured every year of this disease by
the Forest Wwe and Tills; Dyspepsia, Costivcness and
