.farmer's §epttmeut.
SAVING MANURES. —After the hay harvest is
over farmers have leisure time enough to attend
to the making of composts. Stable manure
must not be suffered to lie long in heaps with
out mixing it with much other matter. That
from horses in particular will heat to excess
in a very few days, provided it lies light and
udmits the air to the heap.
But even this kind of manure will not heat
in case it is trodden down to exclude the air.
Let a horse in a stable, twelve feet square,
stand on his manure and tread it close and
there is no danger of heating. It is on this
principle that when we want to prepare manure
for the field early iu the spring, we overhaul it
often aud throw it up as light as possible.
This is a good time to gather weeds and
sods and peat mud to increase the compost
heap. All the scrapings should be gathered,
for all will be wanted for September seeding,
or for spreading 011 grass lands in October.
As to the barnyard, that may be plowed be
fore the compost matter is carried out. Hut
we doubt much of the propriety of the practice
of plowing often in the summer in barn yards.
We only expose the strong portions of the
manure to evaporation. And if the cow-yard
in the spriug was well covered with loam or
other matter, it may lie till September to be
eiriched by what is dropped by the cattle.
We object not to the use of a plow iu the
yard a few days before carting out to the field,
"for this makes the labor of shovelling easier
and also serves to mix up the ingredients. It
is a good practice to cover all the fresh manure
by throwing on a little loam each morning.—
Have two or three heaps of loam in different
parts of the yard, and use a shovel instead of
a plow.— Muss, Pluicman.
TRIMMING TREES. —As soon as haying is over
fruit trees of all kinds may be trimmed. Now
is the time to expect the wounds to heal
rapidly, as the trees make wood fast at this
season.
Never cut off largo limbs from fruit trees,
unless yon choose to induce premature decay.
Yon canuot do worse than to cut otf large limbs.
If there are too many of them let them remain,
while you thiu out the twigs that are not too
large to bear fruit.
Let no man with heavy boots climb your
trees. Pliable shoes are much better than
boots. Nails in boots may do to goon ice, but
they are quite too hard for the limbs aud bark
of fruit trees.
HOGS. —Give them occasionally a table
spoonful of a compound, three parts ashes and
one of salt, for each hog, mixed with their food,
and it will destroy the kidney worms. For
costiveness, with which they are oftcu affected,
take copperas, pulverised, and put it iu a skillet,
and put it over a quick fire ; it will soon boil ;
then stir it till well mixed, and take it off to
cool ; then pulverise it, and give to each hog a
tablcK|oouful as often as the excrement shows
them to be costive. It can be mixed with milk
or other food.
POULTRY DISEASES. —Onions seem to be a
preventitive and remedy for various diseases
to which domestic poultry is liable. Having
frequently tested their excellencies, we can
speak understanding^. For gnjies and inflam
mation of the throat, eyes, aud head, onions
are almost a specific. We would recommend
feeding fowls, and especially the young chicks,
as many as they will eat as often as twice or
three times a week. They should be finely
chopped, a little corn meal added.
TOMATO SAUCE. —Gather your tomatoes when
fully ripe, aud after washing, mash them in
some suitable vessel. Then place them in a
kettle over a moderate fire ami when just
warmed through, press a cullender down upon
them—then dipping from the cullender all the
watery juice possible. After boiling a short
time, strain the mass through a wire sieve just
fine enough to retain the rinds of the fruit—
then return it to the kettle and boil it down to
the desired consistency, (some prefer to thin,
as it retains more of the flavor, taking all care
that it does not become scorched in the process.
Heat the bottles you intend louse, in a steamer,
to boiling heat, and while they retain this heat
fill them with sauce iu a boiling state. Then
cork immediately with good corks, and place
them where they will cool slowly.
Tomatoes thus prepared will keep good and
retain all their original freshness and flavor
until their season comes round again.— Portland
Advertiser.
To PRESERVE PI.UMS. —Make a syrup of
clean brown sugar ; clarify as directed in these
receipts ; when perfectly clean and boiling hot,
pour it over the plums, having picked out all
unsound ones and stems ; lot them remain in
the syrup two days, then drain it otf ; make it
boiling hot, skim it and pour it over again ; let
them remain another day or two, then put
them in a preserving kettle over the fire, and
simmer gently until the syrup is reduced ad
thick or rich. One pound of sugar for each
pouud of plums. Small damsons are very fine
preserved as cherries or any other ripe fruit ;
clarify the syrup, and when boiling hot put in
tfie plums ; let them boil very gently until they
are cooked, and the syrup rich. Put them ill
pots or jars ; the next day secure as directed.
PUT IN WHEAT EARLY. —Fanners ! now is
the time to prepare land for wheat. Don't
forget the lesson of the past two years. Re
member that early sown wheat generally
escapes rust and the iuidge worm, (weevil)
We know some farmers who intend to sow all
their wheat before the last of this month,
August. See to it also, that the land is deeply
plowed, and well drained, then the crop will
be able to withstand cither a dry or a wet sea
son.
PROFITS QF POI'I.TRY. —Few farmers expect
to realize anything of any amount from their
poultry, liens are left to take care of them
selves. as a general thing, while sheep and other
animals, from which they cannot possibly realize
so large a per cent, on the cost, occupy the
whole of the breeders time and attention.—
Now let ns suppose that a man owns 300 hens,
and takes care of them as he ought. He
selects six acres of respectable land ; makes a
good fence around it, and divides it in the
middle. He puts up a good warm building, 12
feet by 40. In one of these three acre yards
he keeps his hens during the summer ploughing
it onee in two or three weeks for their benefit.

icy lay on an average, two hundred eggs each
per annum, or 6,000 a year, in all, which worth,
at a low estimate $()0. The hens should be
changed from one yard to the other everv year

HELMBOLD'S GENUINE PREPARA
TIONS.
Helmhold's Highly 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 cajise
they may have originated, and no matter of how long
standing.
If yon 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 very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Buchu has l>ecn pronounced by emi
nent Physicians
THE < IRK A TEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi
lates every particle of the rank and poisouous 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, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many 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. 110
equal"is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive.
HEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED
Compound Fluid Extract Sarsaparilla.
For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising
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 Rheum,
Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs, i'uins
and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the face
and all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
This article "is now pre-scribed by some of the most dis
tinguished Physicians in the Country, and lias proved
more-efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa
pariila 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 cases furnish
striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine
in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the
glands were destroyed and the bones already affected.
NOTICE. — Letters from responsible Physicians and Pro
fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cures
from patients will be found accompanying both prepara
tions.
Prices, Fluid Extract Buchu, $1 bottle, or 6 bottles for $5.

Tit is is to certify, that I have used Dr. Halsey's Forest
Wine in my family with the nm-t entiresnecc-s. Me wife
was badly afflicted with Neuralgia. I'ffe tions of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She Imiid speedy re
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
Frrni my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend it tor the good of others who m'av
lie suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi
cine with which I am acquainted, arid 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.
Pit. f. \\ . Halnkv—Dear Sir : M v 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 towu, and procur
ed a bottle of it, which restored her in a very short time
to perfect health.

DREADFUL COUGH, DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
Dn. HAI.SKY: Hempstead, Dee. I, 1847.
A bottle of vonr Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
I procured of James Uarr, (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 niv
room for more than two months ; my friends told me *1
had the Consumption and despaired of niv rerovejv. I
could not obtain any lx-rnianeut relief from any medicine
I had taken, or my physician, until vour Wine and Pills
were procured. The first dose of the f'ills brought up from
my sLetuach, much phlem and greenish matter, and my
stools were perfectly black. I then commenced taking
yonr 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, haying increased twenty-five |tomids
in seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pill's are highly
valned in this vicinity, and 1 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 Broadivav, New York, cured of a severe affection of
the Kidneys by the Forest Wine and Pills.
Dr. G. W. HALBEY : New-York, March 12, 1K.*,3.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year I had a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me quite
unfit tor business. I procured your Forest Wine and l'ills
which cured me in a few weeks time, aud I have since en
joyed 1 >otter health than 1 had for manv years previously
t rem their efficacy in my n.un ease, and from what 1 know
your medicines to have done for others, I am induced to
recommend them as the la'st medicines with which 1 am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
' T. J GILLIES.

There are thousands cured every year or this disease bv
the l orest \\ me and Pills; Dyspepsia, Costivencss and
