('i-r.Trttß OF LATE CABBAGE.— The preseut I
facilities for transportation of produce ha
wrought wonders for the gal'dencr as well as far
mer in obtaining a ready and profitable market
for any overplush of vegetables he may have,
over and above the demand for home eon
sumption. With what is called a "good Lit,"
no crop pays a better per cent age for the out
lay than late cabbage. The planting does not
come on till after the spring planting is over,
and when once in, and fairly started, they arc
but little trouble in comparison with many of
the other crops. A cultivator will do must of
the work.
The principal.trouble lies in the seed bed.
and soon after planting out. for without constant
vigilance, if their enemy, the fly, once appears,
ami is not checked, they soon make short work
of them. Tobacco dust, shook over tbeui, is
undoubtedly the best preventative ; lime, soot
or wood ashes is sometimes used, but either of
them must be doue thoroughly to be effective ;
not so much the quantity, as, if too ofteu done
with large quantities of tecbaco, they would
be ki led that'wav. The tobacco generally used
is too coarse to be used judiciously ; if ground
to a powder and used perfectly dry it would
6tick on the leaves much better and be far
more efficacious.
We heard that if the seed is steeped in oil
(probably fish oil) no bugs will iufest them, but
ou what principle this acts as a preventive we
are unable to perceive.
There is no fear of having too many plants :
ready sale can always be found for the surplus.
There is probably over a hundred acres of
cabbage alone grown in this vicinity, a consider
able portion of which is shipped for the New
York market.
The plants should be up and in rough leaf
by this time, though in ease of the first sow
ing missing they will often be later. The soil
requires well manuring, and to be ploughed deep
for this crop.
If ploughed early in the spring and again
at planting time, so much the better, but oue
should always be at the time of plautiug. If
possible, too, a rainy spell should be selected
for the plautiug, as much fewer misses will
occur than in dry weather. If a puddle of
muck is made of eow dung, soot and weak
tobacco water, to pluug the root in before
planting, it will assist theiu. They ought 'not
to be less than two feet apart each way, and
put in by the hand rather than a dibble. It is
more expeditious with a practiced hand, besides
giving the roots a better chance to strike out
than in the hole made by a dibbling stick ;
but care must be taken to leave them firm i:i
the soil, which may be known by taking hold
of the point of a leave and giving it a jerk,
when if it breaks rather thau come up, it is well
planted, and vice versa.
If the weather be dry at the time of plant
ing. they must be watered if possible, or there
will be many vacancies from this cause. A
dusting of tobacco should-also be given after
the wateriug ; with a dredging box it would
be the most conveniently done. When establish
ed, the cultivator should be used several times,
and when large enough the plough run up
each side of the rows to give an earthing but
little more cau be done tilf pulling commences.
All vacancies should be filled up as they occur,
till the whole has taken.— Country Gentleman.
PATTERSON'S WHEAT CCLTURE. —Since the
issue of the .May number, we have seen Mr.
Patterson, who wishes us to make u few
additions to the statement then made by us of
Lis wheat-growing scheme.
He says plough between the 25th of May
and the 25th of June, as deep as you please,
but at least eight inches.
Let it lie till about the middle of July, and
then give it a single harrowing ; letting all the
stock you can command run upon it till a week
before sowing.
Then harrow it till the surface is sufficiently
mellowed to cover the grain, which is best done
with a drill, as aforesaid. From one-fourth to •
half an inch is sufficient to cover the seed.—
Mr. P. thinks it a damage if the seeds are
buried so deep as to form the second root
common to wheat too deep to send forth its
tillers at the point of germination.
For spring wheat and oats, plough initmnc
diatelv after harvest ; let it lie till spring, and
put iu the seeds with harrow or drill. He
thinks land is ploughed too much, and that one
good deep ploughing 0:1 prairie soils is better
than more, lie calculates that spring wheat
and outs will yield an additional three to live
bushels per acre, put iu after this mode, over
that cultivated as usual.— Prairie Former for
June.
FARM IMPLEMENTS. —To use that old plow
longer is bad economy ; repairs have already
come to more that original cost, and still it is
an old, rickety plow. It always did " run to
land'' to much, and always will, perplexing the
plowman and fretting the teani. It has a
radical defect past all cure of inventor or
mechanic. Do not work with heavy, uncouth
implements—they drag down the body like a
perpetual sorrow upon the mind. Boys often
acquire a disgust for farming, merely from the
use of the miserable implements placed in their
hands. The lighter the tool, the better, if
strong enough for the work for which it was
intended. The workman who uses his shovel
to pry up a stone, and breaks it, should be
required to pay for it, and the next time, if not
incorrigibly lazy, he will probably use the bar.
Use light rakes, made of good material, and
so of hoes, spades, shovels, and all other
implements. We have beateu the Kuglish in
the construction of our agricultural implements,
in their adaptation to the work required of
them.—-V. E. Parmer.
To PREVENT Burs IN HORSES. — .V person of
much experience in veterinary science is never
troubled with this disease in his horses. . His
simple practice during the full months is to
keep a greasy cloth in the stable, and once a
week rub with it such parts of the animal as
may have been attacked by the nit-fly. Urease
destroys aud prevents the eggs from hatching.
CHEAP MAXTRE. —We often see, in the door
yards of our farm houses, large accumulations
of sawdust, chips and rotteuwood. Just per
mit me to suggest to those who are iu posses
sion of these"valuable materials, that by plac
ing them around their fruit trees, currant
bushes, and, other similar productions, they
will not only free their enclosures from a most
undoubted nuisance, but secure a very import
ant accession to their stock of fruit. The
mass is rich in carbonaceous matter, in salts,
both of which are congenial to all descriptions
of frait-bearr.g trees e.nd ?hrab3.— C:r." Tie

HELMBOLD'S GENUINE PREPARA
TIONS.
Helmbold't Highlit Concentrated Fluid Extract Buehu,
for Diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases.
Strictures, Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female, from whatever cause
they may have originated, pud HO matter of how long
standing. ~ , ,
If you" have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution, and
sapping the verv vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of (bucks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and till th papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot lie too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Buchu has been pronounced by emi
nent Physicians _
Till: GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN,
it is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yit so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease: and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self-abuse, n most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting iu the bud the glorious
ambition of niauv a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive.
HEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sursoparillo.
For purifying the Blood, removing all disease arcing
from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in
life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from an im
pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and effect
ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula. Salt Rlieuni,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs. Pains
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter. Pimples on the face
and al! Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now pre cribed by sonic of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa
parilla yet offered to the public. Several cases of secon
dary Syphilic, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en
tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti
tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of
treatment that could be devised. These eases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, alter the
giauds were destroyed and the bones already affected.

fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cures

DAVIS' PLATFORM BEE-HIVE.
CIA HE subscriber having been appointed Agent for the
x counties of Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming, has the
pleasure of callingthe attention of the public to thisusoful
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 protita
i hie to the owner. No resort to drums aud pans is needed
to hive the increase in the sprftig, 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
unqnestionqbly 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.

SCOTT'S PATENT BLACKSMITH'S STRIKER!
rpilK undersigned, having purchased the right to sell in
X a number of the counties of this state, and elsewhere,
Scott's Patent BLACKSMITH S STRIKER, re-pectfuilv
announce that they are now stopping at BLACK'S Hott I.
in Towanda. where they will exhibit the Patent Striker,
and explain its operation. They expect to remain about
three weeks. By the aid of this invention, every Bls< k
smitb can dispense with the additional hand required to
forge iron, and will consequently effect a great saving of
labor to all who become possessed of it. 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.

DK. HALSEYS' FOKEST WINE.—The
discovery of the FOREST WINK is the greatest bles
sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottle-, a single bottle
of which ih>es more pood, and pa- ii.rfher in the cure of
Disease, than ton bottles .f any Sar-aparill.t in use, and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
effect.
The method by which nil Sar-sapnriHns.arid other simi
lar medicine- are prepared, is by builingtlie Itoots of plants
to ol)tain tlie extract-. Tin ir \n -di inai virtues are tlius
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to fie wondered at then, that in and even 20
bottles of these Sarsnpnrilb- arc sonic! lines taken without
anv perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.—
By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a jer
fectwineis produced without heating; 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 I have used Dr. HaDey's Forest
Wine in my family with the rao-t entire success. My wife
wxs badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re
lief. and regained iter health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
From my ovn knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend it for the good o! others who may
1 -• 1 P-ni-iiuil ir complaints. It is the fiest medi
itie with which [am mqnainted aixl those who are affl ic
tcd w-.th thi -v. or any aiintl i tii-e.ise. may safely re
ly on its virtues. E. G. MUSSEY.

DREADFL'E COUGH, DEBILITA . AND LuSS OF
APPETITE.
DR. HAI.SKV: 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
done wonders for me. 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 be
came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my
room for more than two mouths; my friends told me I
had the Consumption and de-paired of my recove.iy. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
I had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pills
were procured. The lirst dose of the Pills brought up from
my stomach, innch phleni 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 Ilealth
than 1 ever did before, having increased twenty-live pounds
in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills arc highly
valued in this vicinity, and 1 owe my recovery entirely to
their virtues. Yours, respectfully,
MARTIN CALDWELL.
AFFECTIONS Of THE KIDNEYS.
Mr. T. .1. 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. HALSKY : New-York, March 12,1553.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year 1 hud a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me unite
unfit for business. 1 procured your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me in a tew weeks time, and 1 have since en
joyed better health than I had for many years previously.
From their efficacy in my "ami ca-e. and from what I know
your medicines to have done for others, 1 am induced to
recommend thciu as the Iwst medicines with which I ain
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
"T. J GILLIES.
DYSPEPSIA.
There are thousands cured every year of this disease by
the Forest Wine and Pills; Dyspepsia, Costiveness and
Indigestion, are kindred complaints, frequently existing
together, and the cure of one is generally the cure of all.
The Forest Wine and Pills above all remedies are pre-emi
nent in the care ot Dyspepsia.
Testimony of J. N. Verarile, of New York City, dated
July !>, Iho'2.
Dr. G. W. HALSEY :—Dear Sir—Having been cored of
Dyspepsia by the use of your Forest Wine and Pills, I take
the liberty to offer you my name,'helieviug many who

For many years I have been afflieiedwith this malady so
bably that nearly one-third of my time has been lost front
