farmer's department. The Wheat Fly. MPSSRS. EDITORS. —Just at this time when th farmers of our valley are so generally con plaining of the probable destructiou of thei wheat crop by what they are calling th " Weevil," a little information drawn from " th boks" may not be unacceptable. The littl mites in the wheat heads called the weevil, ar the maggots of the " wheat fly," known forth last twenty years in this country under variou names. Hy some mistaken for the Hessian fly and the grain weevil—among Entomologistsi is designated " Ceeidomyia Tritici." Tin earliest written information of which I havi seen is found in a letter bv Christopher Gullei and published in the Philosophical Transaction in 177*2. In that letter it is described as i small yellow fly with blue wings about thesizi of a gnat, and as blowing into the ear of whea and producing a worm " which seen througl microscope appears a large yellow maggot o the color and gloss of amber." Its ravage are much coraplaiued of both in England ant Scotland, and in 1795 Mr. Marsham investi gated this insect as appears by a communicatioi iu the " Transactions of the Linnean society' —since that date many persons have writtei upon the subject, all of whom have describe it us a small insect resembling somewhat th< gnat. Its first appearance noticed by oui writers was iu Canada and the first satisfactory communication I have seen was made by Willian Evans and published iu the " Montreal Daily Advertiser," in 1834, and afterwards republish ed in the "Cultivator" Vol. 1, second edition page 105. In that communication we are tolc that the wheat fly generally makes its appear ance about the last of Juue and according tc observations made they exist through a period of thirty-nine days. The hue of the fly, says Mr. Evans is orange, the wings transparent and changing color according to the light it which they are viewed. It lays its eggs withir the glumes of the florets in clusters varying k uumber from two to ten or even fifteen, and the larva feed upon the grain. They are pro duced from the eggs in the course of eight oi ten days : They are at first perfectly trans parent, and assume a yellow color a few days afterwards ; They travel uot from oue floret to another aud as many as fortv-seveu have been numbered iu oue floret. The same writet adds " that he is not aware that this insect ha* been found in Canada until last year 1833, but that it appears to have multiplied prodigiously and it is only when the grain is in the milky state that they prey upon it, or rather upon matter destined to form the grain. Wheat in new lauds is not so likely to be affected by it." Dr. Harris in his " Treaties on insects" (a book most valuable to every farmer) describes the European and American wheat fly as essentially the same. It is by him described as appearing towards the end of June or when the wheat is in blossom, " in swarms during the evening at which time they are very active. The females generally lay their eggs before nine ocloek at night thrusting them by means of long retractile tube in the end of their bodies, within the chaffy scales of the flower in clusters from two to fifteen or more. By day they remain at rest on the stems and leaves of the plants where they arc shaded from the heat of the suu ; they continue to appear and lay their eggs through a period of thirty-nine days. The eggs are oblong, transparent, and of a pale buff color and hatch in eight to tea days after thev are laid. The young insects produced from them, are little footless maggots, tapering to wards the head and blunt at the hinder extremi ty. They are at first perfectly transparent and colorless but soon take a deep yellow or orange color. They do not travel from one floret to another but move in a wriggling manner, and by sudden jerks of the body, when disturbed. They soon crowd around the lower part of the germ aud there appear to subsist on the matter destined to form the gruiu. The latter in consequence of their depredations, becomes shrivelled and abortive. The maggots when fully grown are nearly one-eighth of an inch long." It is generally believed and Mr. Gorrie has written satisfactorily upon the subject as has also Mr. Sheriff, Judge Bule, aud Mrs. Gage, that these maggots leave the ears of wheat as soon as the kernel has hardened and descend to the ground aud go into it, to the depth of half an inch, where they remain in a torpid state during the winter, coming out of the ground in the winged form in the spring, about the time the wheat is iu blossom. This theory has been pretty well proved by the dis covery of great numbers of these flies in June, in fields where wheat had been raised the year before. The subject to the farmer is one of great interest—much has been written upon it, but up to this time no remedy has been found to materially lessen the evil. Burning the stubble after harvest has been resorted to aud doubtless would be destructive to the maggot while iu the torpid state in the ground. Fumigation has also been resorted to. Strips of woolen cloth dipped iu melted brim stone and burned on the windward side of fields, for several successive evenings at the time when the grain is in blossom and the fly is laying her eggs. This is however not only a troublesome preventive but quite doubtful iu its results. The most likely and easily tried preventive would be lime or wood ashes strown over the graiu wheu iu blossom. Early and late sowed wheat are said to be less likely to be injured—the former being out of blossom before the fly takes wing and the latter after it has disappeared. The best remedy in my opinion for the far mers of our valley would be to put their wheat fields for a few years in with coru, oats, rye, barley aud grass. In this way they may starve out the fly aud put money iu their pockets at the same time. Unless other farmers have been more suc cessful with their wheat crops than I have been for the last few years tliev will find the fly, which may drive them into raising other crops, rather a blessing than otherwise. The fly, the rust and the frost with other, " ills" which wheat " is heir to" make it too uncertain a crop just now, when " money is made by the operation" and would put me in " speculating iu Shanghais."— Record of the Times.

The oat meal has been thought by some physiological chemists to contain much muscle or flesh-forming matter, and the coru meal to contain much fat-forming material ; and, therefore, when combined together, we get both principles combined.

IYER'S PUIS. A ND CHERRY PECTORAL.—The fol -XX. lowing remedies are offered to the public an the best, most perfect, which medical science can afford. A YER'F CATHARTIC PILLS have been prepared with the utmost skill which the medical profession of this age possesses, 1 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 aud 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 arc 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 they are sick they will cure them, if they are well they will do them no harm. Give them to some patient who has been prostrated with bilious complaint; see his bent-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 has been drenched inside and out with exery every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Give him "these Rills, and mark the effect ; see the scabs fall from his body ; sec 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 ; ' he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body with liuaiuents and salves ; give him these Pills to purify his blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there cases which no mortal power can reach ; but mark, he walks with crutches now, and now he walkes alone ; they have cured him. Give thein to the lean, sour, haggard dyspep tic. whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every smilp from nis face and every muscle from his hodv. 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 organsof 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, jov 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 pinehed-up nose and ears, and rest less sleepings. 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 svmptoms'of these "distempers, they are the easier cured. Jaundice, Costivencss, 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 perseveringlv, .and under Hie counsel of a good Physician if you can ; if not, take them judiciously hy such advice aa we give you, and the distressing, dangerous diseases they cure, which afilict 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 11. Through a trial of many years and through every nation of civilized me, AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL has been found j 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 bevond 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. He tries everything ; but 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 has stopped his cough and ma do 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 lie j found which has not some living trophy like this to shad- i 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 hy them, and they will find it an id valuable pro tection from the insidious prowler which carries off the parent sheep from many a lioek, the darling lamb from many a home.

DAVIS' FX.ATFOB.irc BEE HIVE. subscriber having been appointed Agent for the A counties of Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming, has the pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful invention. The Hive is truly a great improvement on the old square box ; and the facilities it affords for taking out 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 unquestionqhly ahead of anything hitherto known. A description of this Hive is impossible, 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.

This is consider ed one of the greatest and most useful inventions of the age, and the manner in which it forges iron of every des cription has greatly surprised the numerous sons of Vul can who have seen it operation.

Put up in Quart Bottles, a single bottie of which does more good, and goes further in the cure of Disease, than tan bottles of any Sarsaparilla in use, and warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening effect. The method bv which all Sarssaparillas.and other simi lar medicine® are prepared, is by boilingthe Roots of plants 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 bottles of these Sarsaparillas are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine By tne 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. This is to certify, that 1 have used Dr. Halsey's Forest j 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 I am acquainted, and those who are afflic ted with the above, or any similar disease, may safely re ly on its virtues. E. G. MUSSEY. MORE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES. DR. G. W. HALSKY —Dear Sir : My wile last autumn was reduced to a low state of Debility." My family physician advised her to take your Forest Wine. Accordingly I 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. HALSKY: Hempstead. Dec. 1, 1847. A bottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which I procured of James Carr, (your agent for this place,) has i 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. I be came almost a skeleton, and had lieen unable to leave my room for more than two months; my friends told me "l had the Consumption and despaired "of my recoveiy. 1 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 stwmach. 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 lietter health than I ever did before, having increased twenty-five pounds tn seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are nighlv 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. 308 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.

From their efficacy in my OAVU case, ami 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.
