farmer's Department. Ashes in Agriculture. Wood asließ is one of the most important fertilizers. It is easily obtained in any quantity and at little or no expense. Take them care fully from your hearths, and save them until your corn and potatoes have risen two inches from the ground ; then take a basket on your arm and from it take a small handful of ashes and cast it at the root of your plants, aud hoe thein soon so as to cover the ashes. By this means you will increase your crop half. Ashes contain all the inorganic substances of the wood or plants which are consumed, part of these are soluble, and part insoluble, but the soluble substances mixed with water will dis solve the insoluble. dissolved potash will dissolve silica and prepare it for glazing the stock of the cane corn, wheat, A*e. Not a particle of ashes should go to waste. Leached ashes have parted with most of their potash, but still retain their phosphoric acid, and most of their lime. Ashes neutralize acids in the oil ; they warm rold, mossy, wet places ; they are destructive to insects ; they assist to break down and dissolve the coarse fibres aud stocks in the compost heaps, render hard, clayey soil open, loamy and fertile. The potash, so material to most crops, can be obtained here only from ashes. In granite regions, potash is obtained from a dissolution of feldspar, but we have none in this country. Wheat contains a large portion of potash— fifty-nine per cent, of the ashes of corn is carbonate of potash, and one-half of the earthy part of Irish potatoes, is pure potash. Save your ashes therefore as carefully as you do your five and ton cent pieces, and apply them to your crops with care, and you will find them of a rich, deep color while growing, and heavy with nutrimeut at harvest. BUTTER MAKING. —Not one pound in five of the butter sold in our cities, under the name of " Goshed,'' &e., and very little " Country butter," is fit for human food. Butter makers should remember these few short rules : The newer and sweeter the cream, the sweeter and higher flavored will be the but ter. The air must be fresh and pure iu the room or eellur where the milk is set. The cream should not remain on the milk over thirty-six. Keep the cream in tin pails, or stone pots, into which put a tea-spoonful of salt at the beginning, then stir the cream lightly each morning aud evening ; this will prevent the cream from moulding or souring. Churn as often as once a week, and as much oftencr as circumstances will permit. Upon churning, add the cream upon all the milk in the dairy. 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 and it will keep sweet forever. In Scotland, a syhpou is sometimes used to 1 separate the milk from the cream, instead of skimming the pans.— Southern Cultivator. THE USE OF SNOW.— The past severe winter iu its effects on plants lias furnished some strik ing proofs of the protection afforded by snow. Several specimens of the tree box, some of them seven or eight feet high, are as brown as dead grass above the snow line, while all lie low is as green as emerald. The Japau Quince, usually regarded as very hardy, although not destroyed by the extreme cold, was so injured and checked iu its growth, that while the flow ers below the snow are an inch and a half in diameter, and in dense and brilliant clusters, the exposed portion of the shrub is thinly furnished with pale red or pink flowers, not one fifth the size of the former. The only blossoms of the peach that have appeared have been a few that were cover .d by snow drifts ; aud the strong contrast is; ic color of the wood of the trees, where expo or protected, has been sufficient to show tin precise depth of the snow in any part of our peach orchards. Observations made at the Royal Gardens at Kew, iu England, (where the winter has also been very severe,) showed a difference of nineteen degrees immediately above aud below the suow.— Country Gentle man. HOME-MADE CHLORIDE OF LlME. —Professor Xasli says, take one barrel of lime, aud vine bushel of salt. Dissolve the salt in as little water as will dissolve the whole. Slack the lime with the water, putting on more water than will dry-slack it, so much that it will form a very thick paste : this will not take all the water. Put on therefore a little of the re mainder daily, until the lime lias taken the whole. The result will be a sort of impure cab;ride of lime, but a very powerful deodori-1 zer, equally good for allont-door purposes with ; the article which is bought under that name at the apothecary's, and costing not one twentieth part as much. This should be kept under a shed, or some out-building. It should be kept moist, aud it may be applied wherever offensive odours arc generated, with the assurance that it will be effective to purify the air. aud will add to the value of the manure much more than it costs. It would be well for every farmer to p.'pare a quantity of this and have it always on hand. FOWLS. —The Ohio Farmer says, as the man ure of the hen house is the best for onions, so onions, chopped fine and mixed with Indian meal, is occasionally the best food for chickens. It should be given once or twice a week, and w ill prevent gapes and all kiuds of intiaiumatiou of the throat and eyes. W KEVlL. —These troublesome pests may be kept out of grain by using salt. Sprinkle a little line salt on the bottom and around the sides of the bin as you fill up. and over the top when full. Wheat kept in old salt barrels will never be destroyed by the weevil. PROFITS OF ORCHARDS. — A distinguished ag riculturalist, who has one thousand apples-trees, and intends to set out as many more, says that if apples will sell at twenty-five cents per bushel, they are his most profitable crop—and if they will not sell, they are the cheapest food be can raise for all kinds of animals. A quiet exposition of the truth has a better effect thau a violent attack upon error. Truth extirpates errors as grass extirpates weeds, by working its way iuto their place, and leaving no room to grow. fßiscellimcons. _ TOWA N D A imRKL'S JMIMJRY. rriHIS school, under the charge of the Misses HANSON', A is held in the north end ot the Ward Hon-e, 111 tne room formerly occupied hy If J'wte, Mason A Co Miss EMM A HANSON will join her ill a few days and iii"future will give instruction in the French language '"TIIC sell ml year will consist of four quarters, of eleven weeks each.

A Nl> CHERRY PECTORAL.—The fol -I\. lowing n medies are offered to the public a- the best. most perfect, which medical science can afford. Aykk'- Uathartio Pills have been prepared with the utmost skill which the medical profession of this age possesses, and their effects show they have virtues which wirpuss any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre parations do more or lee good ; but this cures such dun gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove an efficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thing which nien have known before. By removing the obstruc tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into healthy action, tliey 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 hv 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 they are sick they will cure them, if they are well they wili do them no harm. Give them to some patient who has l>oen prostrated with bilious complaint; see his hent-up, tottering form straight en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return ; see his 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 IRIS been drenched inside and out with exery every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give him these Pills, and mark the effect; see the scabs fall from his body ; see the new, fair -kin 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 lames ; move him, and he screeches with pain ; lie too has been soaked through every muscle of his body with limiiuents and salves : give liiui these Pills to purity his blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there cases which no mortal power can reach : but mark, lie walks with crutches now, and now he wulkes 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; seethe 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 is gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast 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, and painfully distinct, that they are "eat ing its life away. Its piiicbed-up nose and ears, and rest lcss sleep tugs, tell the dreadful truth in language which every mother knows. Give it the Pills in large doses to sweep thc-e vile parasites from tile 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 yon every day. Have you the less serions symptoms of these distempers, they arc the easier cured. Jaundice, t'ostiveness, Head ache. Sideache, Heartburn. Foul Stomach, Nausea, Pain in the Bowels, Flatulency. Lo.-s of Appetite, Kiug's Evil, Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred complaints all arise from the derangements which these Pills rapidly cure. Take them per-cveringlv. and under the counsel of a good Physician if von can ; if not. take them judiciously by sncli "advice as we give you, and the distressing, dangerous diseases they cure, which afflict so many millions of the human race, live 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 f 1. Through a trial of many years andthmngh every nation of civilized me, AYER's ('iikkky PECTORAL has been found 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 been cured by it. and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the reach of human aid have lieen restored to their friends and usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, by tiiis 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 CONS i*ml'TtoN*. He tries everything; but the disease is gnawing at his vitals, and shows its fatal symptoms nioic and more over all his fame. He is taking the Cher ry Pectoral now: it has stopped bis cough and mado his breathing easy : his -deep is sound at night: his appetite returns, and with it his strength. Thcdart 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. Inlluen/u, Croup, Bron chitis. Hoarseness, Pleurisy, Whooping Cough, and all ir ritation-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 idvahiabic pro tection front the insidious prowler whieh carries off the parent sheep from many a tiock, the darling lamb from many a home.

DAVIS' PLATFORM BEE-HIVE. fTUIE subscriber having been appointed Agent for the 1 counties of Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming, has the pleasure of calling the attention of thepnfdic to this useful invention. The Hive is truly a great improvement on the old square box : and the facilities it affords for taking nut the honey are as harmless to the bees, 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. fire 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 uiiquestioiiqhlv ahead of anything hitherto known. A description of this Hive is inqa S'ilile, without refer ence to a model, but an examination will satisfy any one of its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights, with books, bill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma king the Hive, and managing the Bees. May 1, 1855. GEORGE S. KEEN. $5OO REWA RD!

HALL i RI"BsEI,L DIL lIALSEYS' FOREST WINE.—The discovery of the FOREST XVINE is the greatest bles sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single Imttle of which does more good, and go. -s further in the cure of Disease, than ton bottles of any S.irsapaiilla in li-e, and warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening efTect. The method by which all Sarssaparillis. and other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by boitingthe Bootsof plants to obtain the extracts. Their me.li inal virtues are thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to he wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without any iterceptible henelit. 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 ot 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 1 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 speedy re lief. and regained her health by the use of the Forest Wine. From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine. 1 confidently recommend it tor 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, may safely re ly on its virtues. E. CI. MUBSEY. MOKE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES.

(your agent for this place,) has done wonders for nie. 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. I lie eatue almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my room for more than two months; my friends told me I had the Consumption and despairedof 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 stomach, much phlcm 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. 1 now enjoy better health than I ever did before, having increased tweuty-five pounds in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are nighly valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely to their virtues. " Yours, respectfully, MARTIN CALDWELL. AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS. Mr. T. J.
