Hero are some bints iu regard to eider mak ing, wliuli may prove serviceable to those of our readers who contemplate producing that pleasant beverage for the coming winter even ings. Whatever be the sort of apples employed,.cer tain it is, that the longer the fruit remains on the tree, without decay or being injured by frost, the letter ; for not only is the perfect maturity of the fruit a great consideration, but such is the susceptibility of applejuiee, that the colder the weather, short of actual frost, the more qui et and equable will be the fermentation. The proximate elements of this juice are held togeth er very feebly, and tend to such a rapid fermen tation, that the destruction of the whole is the inevitable result of too early an excitement by our mild temperature, The apples, therefore, should remain 011 the trees, and not be gather ed until the approach of cool bracing weather ; and then during the finest and driest occasion that offers itself. They should he carefully gathered. It is not that a bruise would of it self injure the price, but experience teaches, that whatever the cause of mould, mouldiness speedily establishes itself upon the edges of eve ry wound of a fruit gathered in autumn ; and whenever this mysterious visitant establishes it self, it communicates a most disgusting flavor to a great bulk of any material, solid or fluid. Being gathered, the apples are to he stored in some shady, cool room—fenced in heaps, wherein they undergo a further ripening, acquire more sachariue matter, and lose a considerable quantity of watery juice. In the ordinary prac tice of extensive apple growers, they are suf fered to lie for some days in heaps on the grass under the trees, and suffered this change there." Another writer of standard authority says of this subject : "The characteristics of a good ci der apple are, a red skin, yellow and often tough and fibrous pulp, astringency dryness and ripe ness in the cider season." It appears to us that these are uot the qualities usually sought for in apples by our eider makers. Mr. Knight, the distinguished horticulturist, asserts, that "when the rind and pulp are green, the cider will always be thin, weak and colorless ; ami wheu these are deeply tinged with yellow, it will, however manufactured, or in whatever soil the fruit may have grown, almost always JKJS sess color, and either strength or richness." Nearly all writers of any repute, who have trea ted the subject of cider making, agree that the apple thiu-d be thoroughly ripe, and gathered on a dry day. The soil has something to do with the qual ity of cider. That made from apples grown on a shallow loam with a limestone basis, has been found to be the strongest, as well as the most highly flavored. Calcareous soils are well ad apted for cider orchards. It is contended that the pomace should be exposed to the air sometimes before pressing, Mr. Knight ascertained by experiment, that pomace thus exposed for a few hours had the specific quality of the juice increased from 1. 0154 to 1.078. This accession was ascertained by after experiment to be oxygen, which, accord ing to Lavoisier, contributes f>4 percent, of su gar. These are points of interest, and as an unusual quantity of cider will be made this sea son, we direct the attention of the reader to them. SAVING MAXLBF.S. —After the hay harvest is over farmers have leisure time enough to attend to the making of composts. Stable manure must not lie 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 ad mits 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 in the spring, we overhaul it often and 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 on grass lands in October. As to the barn-yard, that may be plowed be fore the compost matter is carried out. But we doubt much of the propriety of the practice of plowing often iu the summer in barn-yards. We only expose the strong portions of the ma nure to evaj>oration. And if the cow-yard iu the spring was well covered with loam or other matter, it may lie till September to be enrich ed by what is dropped by the cattle. We object not to the use of a plow in the yard a few days before carting out to the field, for this makes the lalior of shovelingeasier and also serves to mix up the ingredients. It is a good practice to cover all tiie 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, Plowman, STACKING CORN-STACKS.—A correspondent of the Boston Cultivator lias tried various meth ods of curing his cornstalks, but without satis factory success. Last fall after the stalks were sufficiently cured, lie carried them into the barn, and instead of setting them up, as for merly, he packed tliem down and on every layer of stalks put a layer of fine salt, say a bushel to a ton. The cattle eat them up clean aud he is satisfied with the result. CARRAGF. FOR COWS. —The editor of the Agri euUuraJ Oazette, (Eng.) estimates one acre of cabbages to be worth throe acres of turnips for cows, lie recommends sowing seeds iu beds, either in autumn or spring, and trans planting towards the end of May, at the rate of 8,000 plants to the acre. One pound of seed will produce about 1,400 plants. To FATTEN FOWI,S. —The best food for fat tening fowls is potatoes mixed with meal.— Boil the potatoes and mash them fine while they are hot, and mix the meal with them just before it is presented. They fatten on this diet in loss than half the time ordinarily requir ed to bring them to the same condition of ex cellence on corn, or even meal itself. SUBSOIUNG. —The roots of wheat have been traced four feet. Farmers usually plow four inches. Well, let the other three feet eight inches of roots take care of itself ! A man must IHi iu small business to be fussing over a place for wheat roots to run! The fact is, they have no business to run so far.— Exchange JLuvzr. ° He who writes what is wrong, wrongs what is right. ° Business CCatiis. TF, MA DILL, M.

If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when once seated iu 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 till the papers with glaring falsehoods t<> 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 liuchu has lieen pronounced by emi nent Physicians THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN'. It is a medicine perfectly pleasant iu its taste, and very innocent in its action, and yet .->0 thorough that it annihi lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this disease; and, nnlike other remedies, it does not dry up the disease in the blood. Constitutional Debility,brought on by self-aluise, a most terrible disease, which lias brought thousands of the lot man nice to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth, can he 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.

This article is now prescribed by some 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.

Put up in (.Mart Bottles, a sin trie liottle of which does more pood, ami poes further in the cure of Disease, tliau ton bottles of any Sav-ajiarilla in use, and warranted to cure without ail unpleasant or weakening effect. The method l>y which all Sarssnpnrillas.nnd other simi lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots of plants to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus principally evaporated and destroyed. It is not to he wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 bottles of these Sarsaparillns are sometimes taken without any perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per fe'etwineis produced without beat ing: 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.

My ife was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affl'ctions 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 pood of others who may be suffering from similar complaints. It i> the best medi cine with which i am acquainted, and those who are afflic ted with the almve, or any similar disease, may safelv re ly on its virtues. " K. (i. MCSSEY.

DREADFUL COUCH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF APPETITE. Dn. HAI.SEY: 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 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 b>.-s of appetite. 1 l-c --canie almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave my room for more than two months ; my friends told me 1 had the Consumption and despaired'of my reenvejv. 1 could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine I had til ken, or mv physician, until your Wine and Fills were procured.
