farmer's Department.
Ornamental Grounds for Fanners.
It is not so surprising, in this age of utility
and economy, that comparatively attention has
hitherto been paid to beautifying the sur
foundings of country residences with shady
lawns and avenues, or taste fully arranged gar
dens of fruit, when we consider that " speed
the plow" is practically, and perhaps necessari
ly, the leading motto of a very large portion
of the denizens of ruraldom. Yet it is appa
rent—if you exclude the nmetenrs and subur
ban residents about our large cities —that., ex
cepting the standard apple orchard, and per
chance an occasional grove of flourishing ma
ples and oaks, reserved for the building site,
through the forethought of the tasteful owner,
the farmers of this country have too much
neglected the refining and pleasing accessories
to the homestead.
The introduction of so many excellent va
rieties of fruits, and the rapid increase of nur
series in many of the States, as well as the
prodigality of our American forests, of orna
mental shade trees and shrubs, must eventual
ly, it would seem, force this branch of rural
art upon the attention of every lover of the
country. Indeed, a growing interest has been
uwakencd in this respect within a few past
years, that certainly promises much for the
future—at least with that portion of the land
owners who can, or think they can, afford to
let the trees grow.
It should be the aim of the thrifty, before
handed fanner, to render a country life plea
sant and attractive by some associations be
yond the merely useful. " Encourage the
beautiful, the useful encourages itself," is a
good maxim, and it is to be hoped many may
be induced to act upon this advice, and make
a beginning the present year, if not more than
the adoption into their dooryards of a few
handsome specimens of whitewood, white ash,
rock elm, rock maple, or other native trees,
from the nearest woodland. The work need
not be done all at otice ; but a few seasons'
perscverencc thereafter, as leisure or fancy
may suggest, will accomplish it.
Wc trust, as the ability of the rural popula
tion improves, and their attention becomes
more generally directed to the embellishment
of their homes, they will proportionately grati
fy those tastes which are not wanting, but on
ly dormant from constant attention to the
tnorc practical details of husbandry. A libe
ral display of accomplishment in this charming
department of rural affairs not only surely ex
erts a genial, humanizing influence upon the
inmates and upon neighbors, but often is an
index that gives the first favorable impression
to the eye of the passer-by, who pauses to ad
mire a tidy farm-house, encircled and skirted
with ample pleasure grounds, or half embow
ered with interlacing trees and vines.
A sufficient area might be enclosed about
evi ry farmer's dwelling for the exhibition of a
degree of practical taste in landscape garden
ing, and for those who cannot afford to rear
a their best lands purely for shade,
there are plenty of good substitutes in the rar
er fruits not usually grown in the orchard ;
many of them ornamental and quite appro
priate as lawn trees. We would prefer plant
ing near our premises at first a good propor
tion of trees that combine beauty of form and
foliage with fruits for the family to get a taste
of, or some of the improved varieties of nuts
foi the children to gather and crack during
the long winter evenings, instead of setting
out forest trees exclusively, or 011 a large scale.
Cherries, apricots, pears, quinces and grapes,
as well as some of the finer kinds of sliellbarks,
Madeira nuts, almonds aud chestnuts, are in
keeping with the dooryard or park, and are
planted less frequently than they deserve to be.
Meantime, room could be found for a sprink
ling of our native oak, elm, maple, pine, hem
lock, Ac., from the woods, interspersed with
an occasional group or arbor of the many ele
gant species of both deciduous atul evergreen
trees and shrubs cultivated in the nurseries.—
The horse-chestnut, for a dense, deep shade—
the mountain ash, conspicuous from its profu
sion of bright scarlet berries—the larch, for a
spire-like form, and its vix id, silky foliage, and
tire weeping willow, without a peer, for pen
dant gracefulness, and desirable from its long
season of verdure, though not indigenous to
our climate—are all of them striking for con
trast, and should not be overlooked in locali
ties w here they can lie readily procured.
Many, doubtless, are discouraged or deter
red from planting, either for the grove or or
chard, through an impatience to enjoy the
fruits of their labor ; for, unlike the majority
of farm improvements, a lapse of time is re
quired to bring them to well grown maturity ;
yet in many cases trees of large size can be ee
lcctcd, aud it should be borne in mind that a
tree once well established is continually pro
gressing, and that there is a beauty and a
source of satisfaction in every stage of its af
ter dovelopement to the real lover of nature.

EARLY ASPAP-HlUS. — Those who have hot
beds and forcing houses, and raise this article
for the market, will not need our hints ; hut
any one who has a good bed of this vegetable
can anticipate the season two weeks without
taking np the roots, nnd with very little extra
trouble. As soon as the frost i out of the
ground, we clean off the portion of the bed de
signed for this use. It has been well manur
ed in the previous fall and salted. We re
move to a considerable depth the surface soil,
so that the eyes of the stools may feel the
heat quickly, we then put over the stools a
large frame, twelve feet by six, aud cover with
glass. The outside ot iht frame is protected
with a bank of fresh horse manure, covered
with seaweed or other refuse matter.
Keep the glass close upon the frame until
the pmple shoots begin to make their appear
ance. Then give fredi air every clear day,
until the shoots arc high enough for cutting.
This is among the earliest and most delicious
of vegetables, Every garden should have a
good large bod of it, at least six square rods,
for tin use of the family. If you arc not .al
ready furnished, do not put off the prepara
tion and stocking of a bed till another season.
This vegetable is not only palatable and nu
tritious, but is slightly medicinal in its influ
ence upon the system. It is a good diuretic,
nnd wiil save the doctor's biils.— American

LAYING TT KVS. — A correspondent says that
hens will lay all winter if fed with a variety of
food ; a little meat, Ac., and adds : I have
found that liens fed on boiled oats, with a mix
ture of scraps of meat, will lay all winter.—
Twenty hens gave me exactly one hundred eggs
in a week, averaging four apiece—not a bad
lay at any time of the year. A warm and clean
low 1-liQusc, however, is absolutely necessary.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT & TO-&-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has jiroven to be one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
ids art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for uot only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system for years, taken iu the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's I'holic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND
TO-AXP FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHIXE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the llath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine Is very
great, iu introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
