F.lled to the brim with military ardor, he pro eeedel to the front yard of his house for the purpose of going through-the manual exercise: alone. Whether his knowledge of military tac tics was not altogether perfect, 1 have not been informed ; but bis first order to himself was, " advance three paces backwards !" and suiting the action to the word, he did advance back ward, and tumbled heels over head into the cel lar. His wife observing his unlucky descent, cried out, "my dear, are you hurt ?" The fal len soldier, casting a glance of supreme con tempt on his spouse, indignantly replied, "(!o to grass, old woman, what do you Know about war ?" It occurs to mc that there are a great many farmers in this world, whose progress, like our military friend's above quoted, is decidedly back ward. Whenever I see a farmer wlio refuses to pay a dollar for a good agricultural periodi cal merely because bis father farmed without one, I am strongly inclined to think he is ad vancing backward. Whenever I see a farmer "spreading himself' by attempting to farm two hundred acres, when his means are scarcely suf ficient for one hundred, I cannot help thinking that he is "advancing backward" Whenever! sec a fine meadow overrun with sorrel and meagre blue grass, instead of tfill tim othy or some other good grass, it always oc curs to nie that its owner is " advancing bark wards." Whenever I sec a farmer selling ev ery ton of hay and straw, and every bushel of wheat he raises, and afterwards endeavoring to keep his land in good heart by applying only the manure of his own farm yard, and by plow ing five inches deep, it needs not a prophet to predict that he is "advancing backwards." Whenever I see a farmer sowing timothy, clo ver or any other grass seed, in which the seeds of foul weeds abound, when for a shilling or twenty-five cents more lie could have purchased good clean seed, it always occurs to me that he is " advancing backwards." Whenever I see a fanner in this progressive age, delaying from year to year the purchase of good labor saving implements, and urging as a plea for the latest improvement," I always feel afraid that he is "advancing backwards ." Whenever I see n farmer feeding his hay, straw and fodder uncut, when a few dollars would purchase a good cut ter, I strongly suspect that he is "advancing backwards." Whenever I sec a farmer's fields covered with pernicious weeds, and those weeds permitted to ripen and sow their seeds for the next season, I have every reason to believe tliat the owner of those fields is "advancing back wards." Whenever I see a farmer's fences bro ken down, his cattle trespassing in the grain and cornfields, the hogs uprooting the potatoes, and the chickens in indisputable possession of the garden, it is not difficult to perceive that he is " advancing backwards." But when I sec a farmer who feels that lie has something yet to learn—who takes one or more agricultural papers—who pays for them and reads them—who tills no more land than he can till well—whose meadows are well drain ed, and covered with heavy sweet grass—who always reserves enough hay, straw and grain to replace in a great part, at least the vegetable mutter his crops have taken from his soil—who is willing to pay a dollar more for a bushel of clean seed rather than sow that which contains weeds—who, instead of " waiting for years for the latest improvement,'* is amongst the first to test the value of new labor saving implements —who cuts all his hay, straw and fodder before feeding—whose fields arc not overrun with weeds, and who never permits a weed to mature ; its seed where it is possible to prevent it—whose I fences arc always in good repair—whose grain and corn ficld3 are never trespassed upou by Ins i or his neighbor's cattle—Whose garden is not only well cultivated, but also never invaded and destroyed by mischievous fowls—who is syste matic in his feeding, seeding and breeding—who keeps a regular farm accounts—who rises early, and who has strong faith in the old but truth ful adage that " the eye of the master is worth both his hands," 1 say when I see such a farm er, there is no difficulty in understanding that, Unlike onr military friend above quoted, he is ad vancing not" backward," but straight forward, and in the right direction for complete success, and will, most assuredly, Go AHEAD. JSev castle Co., Del. ACTION OK LIME. —FIRST. It breaks up the foil, and forms combinations that can render soluble. SECOND. It fixes part of the atmosphere, forming nitric acid, from it making nitrate of little. THIRD. Nitric acid contains the same essen tial elements as ammonia, and is capable of be ing converted into it or the plant. Forttftt. Useful directly to a certain extent for the nourishment of the plant. FIFTH. It is particularly useful on gravelly soils, and on clayey soils devoid of lime. SIXTH. Lime and barn-yard manure should not be mixed in the barn-yard, inasmuch as the lime causes too sudden decoaijiQsiticßi, and con sequent loss of ammonia which is driven off by the lime to be received by the air. Charcoal Bust is quite valuable on a manure heap, as it fixes the ammonia and other gases, which otherwise to a great extent would bo was ted. The coal dust should be scattered on when dry ;if wet the pores of the coal being filled with water cannot then receive the ammonia. This fact is valuable to all masters of char coal furnaces and farmers within five or ten miles of the same, inasmuch as- the dust- and braes from coal pits—wasted yearly—would benefit very many farmers at a comparatively small cost, if properly applied. Hons.—o ive them occasionally a tablc apoonful! 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 arc often affected, take copjieras, pulverised and put in a skillet, and jait it over a quick fire ; it will soon lioil ; then stir it till well take it off to cool; then pulverise it aud give to each hog a table spoonfull as often as the excrement shows them to be costive. It can be used with milk or other food. _ HOGS ROOTING. —To prevent hogs from root ing, cut across the snout, by which you will sev er the nasal tendon, by which the ojieratiou is performed. Then split the gristle of the nose up and down the face, aud the work is done. For the long-nosed, flap-eared breed, cut the nose off eighteen inches alove the snoqt, •ST" It is a noble species of revenge to have the jKtwer of retaliation aud uot to exercise it. -- ■ Dusiuess (Euros. rn F.

If you have contracted the territde disease, which when once seated in the system, will surely go down from one generation to another, undermining the constitution, ami sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself in tne 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 Bucbu has been pronounced by emi nent Physicians THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN. It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very innocent in its action, and"yet so thorough tiiat 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 lmpcs of parents, anil blighting in the hud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth, can l>e cured by this INFALLIBLE REMEDY.

Dll. JIALSKYS' FOREST WINE.—The discovery of the FOREST WINK i- the greatest Mi s singof the age. Put up in Quart U -ttles. a single bottle of whieli d'M's more good, and goes further in the cure of Disease, than ton bottles.of auy Sar-aparilla in use, ami warranted to cure without an unpleasant or Weakening effect. The method by which all Sarssn pari lis s. and other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by lio:'"n- r the Hoots of plants to obtain the extracts. Their nxviieiaa! virtues tire thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to tie wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Harsapnrilhs are sometimes taken without any perceptible henetit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— By" the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per fect wine is 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.

From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I confidently recommend it for the good of others who may lie suffering from similar complaints.

DREADFUL COUGH. PEiill.lTY, ANI) LOSS OF APPETITE. DR. IIAI.SEY: Hempstead, Dee. 1,1547. 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.

The first dose of the f'ills brought up from my stomach, mnch phleni and greenish matter, and my stools were perfectly Mack. 1 then commenced taking your Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite began to return immediately, my cougb left me, and in less than two weeks i was almost well. 1 now enjoy better health than I ever did before, having increased twenty-live pounds in seven weeks.
