JUpartmcut. Cutting Hay. MB. UREAS :—There are t present a multi tude of conflicting opinions in relation to the I period when grass should be cut, some contend- 1 ing that the operation of mowing should be j commenced as soon as the development of the : f.ower has commenced ; others, that the scythe' should by i)i means be introduced till the seed ! has become partially matured, as they suppose j the superior value of this adds more to the value of the plant as a whole, than it abstracts. No definite rules, however, can belaid down in tliis matter, as practice must necessarily vary with the contingencies of temperature, aspect, climate and the specific character ol the grasses ordinary cultivated. For my own part I think that one should commence as soon as inflor esence begins. He will then have time to get through haying before the crop becomes too far advanced towards maturity, and Lis hay, though less heavy, and consequently somewhat less valuable as a market product, perhaps, will be much more succulent and sweet, that if permitted to stand till a later period, or till it becomes dead ripe. The old method of making hay in the siui, and drying it till scarcely a particle of moisture is left in the fibre, is now almost universally deprecated. On this subject, oue of the greatest farmers who has ever lived, has the following remarks : " As soon as the grass is fairly freed from moisture, it is put into narrow heaps, which are made as high as possible ; and to prevent these from falling down, a small stake is driven into the ground, around which the grass is carefully arranged with the hands. A hand ful of grass is then taken from one of the swaths, and the longest and strongest portions are chosen from it to cover the top of the heap or bay-cock with, care being taken to trim the upper or (lowering part of the grass downward. These pyramidial heaps are theu suffered to remain until the grass of which they are com posed, is thoroughly dry which is generally somewhere between the eight and fifteenth day. i On the heap being opened, the grass in the interior of it will generally be found to retain its hue and freshness. 1 have seen grass thus made into large heaps, in dry and windy weather, which has made very vapidly with out requiring to be moved and has been quite green. Temporary rain or showers will not do it any harm beyond that of depriving the external parts of some portion of its greenness ; but should the wet weather continue for any considerable period of time, there is a possibility of the hay becoming too much compressed ; it will then be necessary to open the heaps, and shake and loosen the hay, in order to prevent it from acquiring an unpleasant flavor." This may be obviated by making the cocks small —say of about eighty pounds weight, when first put up, and covering carefully with green grass. I give you this for what it is worth—some may be induced to try it this season, 011 a small scale, and report the result. One thiug is admitted by every one, which is, that the less the hay, in making, is exposed to the sun, the more valuable it is—it retains its color and flavor better, and consequently is worth a great deal more per ton than when dried up by the burning rays of the sun. Jam respectfully yours.— Germuiitoini Telegraph. EXPERIMENTS WITH CARROTS AND TURNIPS IN SHEEP FEEDING. —The J. 11. R. correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph details interest ing experiments made to test the relative value of carrots, turnips and beets for sltecp. The beets were discontinued, because the animals refused to cat them, except upon compulsion of the sharpest hunger. His method with carrots and ruta-baga turnips- he describes as follows : Three sheep were confined in a yard, in which there was a close shed for feeding, with plenty of water supplied from a cistern. Three more were placed in a similar enclosure, the fixtures of which were iu every respect precisely the same, and that there might be no discre] - auey whatever in the management of the two parcels, even their water was supplied from the same source. All the animals were of the same age, and nearly of the same weight. In the morning chopped ruta-bagas were given to the sheep in one pen. and chopped carrots to those in the other. This feed was regularly repeated at noon, and again at sundown ; the quantity allowed each animal being one peek (by weight) of each. Salt and common house ashes were kept constantly in both apartments, mixed in the proportions of one of the former to three of the later. Good, clean leaves from the woods were scattered daily over the shed bottom-, and a few handsful of hue clover hay kept by them to supply the end. The experiment commenced 011 the 12th of November, and was brought to a final close on the 12th of the ensuing March. Both sets did remarkably well, as indeed might be expected front the careful and systematic manner in which they were tended and fed ; but those kept oil carrots gained each eight and thrfte fourths pounds more than those fed on ruta bagas. 111 April the six sheep produced six lambs—fine, healthy ones, which have grown to maturity, and are by far the most valuable animals to be fouutl iu the flocks to which they belong. Ct BRANT TREES.- —Currant bushes may as well be made trees as shrubs. In the spring of 1831 my father set cuttings for currant bushes. I determined to experiment on one of these cuttings, and as it grew, 1 pinched off all the leaves except the top tuft, which I let grow. The cutting was about fourteen inches long, and during the summer the sprout from this grew ten inches. The next spring I pinch ed off' all the leaves to about half way up the first year's growth, so as to leave the lowest liiub two feet from the ground. Is branched well, and became a handsome lit tie dwarf tree. When it came to bear fruit, it was more pro ductive than any other bu.-li iu tlie garden, and the fruit larger. It was less infested with spiders and other insects ; hens could not pick off the fruit, and grass and weeds were more easily kept from the roots, and it was an orna ment instead of a blemish. Now I would pro pose that currant cuttings be set in rows about four or five feet apart each way—let them be loug and straight ones—and trained into trees. —Alixhigan Farmer. To HOUSEKEEPERS. —Monsieur Loysel, n French chemist, says that he iias discovered that by grinding tea in the same manner as coffee, before infusion, the quantity of exhila rating fluid obtained is nearly doubled. The experiment is worth trying, especially if with an additional strainer similar to those used by :te Fr?g?h suspended from the snout of the •t* I fUisccllancons. _ TOWA N D A rnmMM §lgffiilMlY.o TH US school, under tlie charge of the Misses HANSON, 1 is hcii lin the north end ot the Ward House, iu the mom formerly ocrnjiiid ly l-tiporte, Mason A Co.

AYER^PHLS. \XD CTTERm' PECTORAL.—The fol- J. A lowing remedies are "tiered to the public as the iicst, most perfect, which medical science can afford. AYKK'S CATHARTIC PILLS have been 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 di-euse beyond any thing which men have known before. By removing the obstruc tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into healthy action, they lenovate 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. lender chil dren may take them with impunity. If they are sick they will cure them, if they are well they will do them no harm. Give them to some patient who has len prostrated with bilious complaint; see his bent-up, tottering form straight en with strength again ; see his long-loatappetite return ; sec his clammy features blossom into health. Give them to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst nut 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 exei v every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give him "these l'jlls, and mark the effect; sec 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 rheimiati-m in his joints and hones'; move him, and he screeches with pain ; he too has been soaked through every muscle of lii.s body with linanU'Jits and salves ; give him these Pills to purify his blood ; thev may not cure liim, for olas ! there cases which no mortal power can reach : hut mark, he walks with crutches now, and now he walkes alone : they have cured him: Give them to the lean, sour,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 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 \f gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to east out the obstruc tions. and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look again—the rosea blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow sat, joy hursts from every feature. Fee the sweet infant wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell you without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they arc eat ing its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, and rest less sleeping". tell the dreadful truth in language which every mother 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 are done around you every day. Have you'the less serious symptoms of these distempers, they are" the easier cured. Jaundice, Costiveness, Head ache, Sideache. Heartburn. Foul Stomach, Nausea. Pain in the Bowels. Flatulency, Loss of Appetite. King's Evil, Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred complaints 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'east 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 of civilized me, AYKK'S UMKKKY PECTORAL has been found to afford more relief and to cure more cases of pulmonary disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Case's of apparently settled Consumption have been 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 CONSL MI'TION. lie tries everything ; hut the disease 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 lues stopped his cough and made 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 neighborhood can le found which has not sonic living trophy like this to shad ow forth the virtues which have won for the ( berry 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 lind 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.

The Hive is truly a great improvement on the old square box ; and the facilities it affords for taking out tlie honey are as harmless to the hoes, as they are profita ble to the owner. No resort to drums and pans is needed to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim stone. tire and fagot is required to conquer the bees and procure their honey in the fall. As the bees multiply, new sections are added to the hive ; and when the honey is wanted, they are removed accordingly. The arrange ments for feeding the bees, for changing them to different parts of the old hive, or to a new one, for ventilation, are unqn est ion q ldy ahead of anything hitherto known. A description of this Hive is impossible, without refer ence to a model, but an examination will satisfy anv one of its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights, with hooks, bill of feed.

Put up hi Vuart Dottles, a single bottle of which does more go .d, and goes further in the cure of Disease, than t-:i b'tilos of any Sarsaparilla in use, and warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening effect. The method by which all S.irssaparillas.and other simi lar mcdi i:ie- ar- prepared,'l> dlingthc Roots of plants to obtain the extra t-. Their m 1 ml virtues are thus principally evaporate d and de-tr veil. It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of tin se S i -ap.irill.is are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— j 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 j the Forest AVine the most efficient medicine the world ever i produced, at the same time time the most agreeable. I TESTIMONY. This is to certify, that I have used Dr. TT ilsey's Forest : AVine 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 nmy lie suffering front 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, may safelv re ly on its virtues. E. ti. MUSSeY. MORE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES.
