THE U NIMI'HOVF.D LANDS OF NORTHERN I'EXX SYI.VANI A.— lt is a matter of great surprise that while the most energetic and pefsevering <(forts have been, and are still being made to direct the attention of farmers and others to the agricultural value of the unimproved lands of the Western States, so little has ever been said or done in behalf of the millions of acres in Pennsylvania which have not only never been turned by the plowshare, but of the very existence of which a large proportion of otn people appear to be wholly ignorant. It is impossible to conceive that anything like a correct idea of the character of the vast body of uncultivated lands lying in the Northern tier of Counties in Pennsylvania, can be pos sessed by the community in general, or cer tainly, the sound of the axe, the song of the plowman and the busy hum of industry would long since have been heard, when now the si lt nee of the wilderness reigns. Year after year we witness the departure from onr midst of thousands of our most industrious and ener getic farmers, men and women, whose enter prising spirit leads them to abandon the homes of their fathers to seek in the far west the am ple reward which is almost certain to follow their well directed efforts. It is to these men and women that the western states owe their greatness. They have felled the forests, sub dued the prairies, built and populated towns and cities, and constructed railroads and ca nals, until what was less there forty years ago, an immense wilderness is now one of the most flourishing sections of our country, or of the world. The eye of the enterprising and reso lute young man is almost instinctively turned to this great region, and when a new home is sought, the west with its thousand inducements rarely fails to win a new inhabitant. The toils and hardships incident to western life have 110 terrors for him. With a confident and cheerful spirit lie enters upon his labors ; and as if obstacles were only a fresh incentive to exertion, struggles onward until lie" is re warded with the success he so richly deserves. Hut while it is pleasant to contemplate this triumph of men over difficulties which but a few years since seemed almost insurmountable, and while we should congratulate our western friends upon the unparalleled growth of their country in population, refinement and wealth, it becomes a question how far we are justifia ble in permitting so large a number of our farmers to leave the state, carrying with them their wealth and energy, without a single en deavor on our part to direct their attention to lands equally cheap and fertile—as easily cul tivated and certainly more convenient to the best markets which are now lying useless with in our own borders. The Counties of Brad ford, Susquehanna, Sullivan, Tioga, Potter, Lycoming, Warren, Elk, M'Kean, Forrest, Clinton and several others abound in immense tracts of unimproved lands, which, if the ag ricultural value had been properly understood twenty years ago, would now be settled with a portion at least of the men whose labor and wealth have contributed so largely to the growth of the west Had the agricultural and mineral wealth of these lands been clearly demonstrated, it is not reasonable to suppose that men would travel one or two thousand miles in search of a home, when their object could have been as fully accomplished, and at no greater expenditure of toil and money, with in less than one-tenth that distance. "With the hope of awakening a feeling of interest in behalf of this long neglected portion of our State, and with the additional hope that the effect will be supported by those who have in fluence, we propose presenting a few facts to substantiate the position assumed, viz, that there are millions of acres of unimproved lands in Pennsylvania which can be purchased as cheaply, and brought into cultivation as profit ably, as any of tho lands of the Western States." In furtherance of this object, we will be mnch pleased to receive from persons residing in any of the Counties named, or from those familiar with their character, any facts which will serve to throw light upon the agricultu ral, mineral or lumbering value of these lands. —Farm Jovrnnl. CORN* AND RUTA RAO A TOGETHER.—A far mer residing at Whiteside Corners, New-York jmblishes in the Cultivator the following me thod by which rutabagas and corn arc cul tivated together in that region of country. " First we draw out our manure in tire spring on sward land, spred and plough under —plough deep and give the land a thorough harrowing. Mark with a marker, three feet apart —take two parts wood ashes, one part plaster, and pnt your seed iuto it; give it a thorough mixing up with a shovel ; drop a good handful in the hill, and plant your corn. The turnips will come up thrifty. The corn can be hoed nearly as quick the first time ; some care must be taken not to cover or ent the turnips. The next hoeing or hilling, they arc out of the way, and should be reduced down to one turnip in the hill. If your corn fails, you are snre of a turnip crop. I have tried it successfully. One turnip in the hill does not injure the corn. Hundreds of bush els can be raised in this way, paying all the expenses of labor on the corn. Every farmer who plants from five to ten acres of corn, can raise from five hundred to a thousand bushels of turnips in this manner, which is almost clear gain. Cut up the corn as soon as it is fit, five rows together ; set it around a hill, and bind with two bands. Your turnips then have a chance to grow, and can stand uutil very late iu the fall. Then take a common hoe and chop off the tops, then haul the turnips par tially out of the ground with the side of a hoe, cut off the top root, aud give them a toss iuto rows which clears them from the dirt. You can then pass along with your cart and load them for the cellar." llow TO EXI.ARGE VEGETABI.ES.—A vast in crease of vegetation may be obtained by mana ging judiciously, and systematically carrying out for a time the principle of increase. Take, for instance, a pea. Plant it in very rich ground : allow it to bear, the first year, say half a dozen pods only ; remove all others, and save the largest single pea of these. Sow it the next year, and retain of the produce 3 pods only. Sow the largest the following year, and retain one pod. Again select the largest, and the next year the sort will have trebled its size and weight. Ever afterwards sow the largest seed, and by these means you will get peas, or anything else of a bulk of which we at present have no conception. To PRESERVE MEAT.— To preserve meat, roll it up in Indian meal, and it will keep four or live days in the hottest weather. The meat should he laid down in pieces not to exceed three poniuU, and each piece should he cntire !> covered with the meal Unsiiicso (fariis. 11 F. MA DILL, M.

FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to he 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 iiis 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 not only did these Baths remove mineral poisons, but 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 lie lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflieted 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 in the shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholic, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. R. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND TO-AND-FUO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very great, in 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 hiking it int<> the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the Isirough of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are unable hy reason of disease to come to this place, at mo derate prices. I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the almve Machines. JAMES HARRIS. To wanda, December 22, 18. DIIIEI) APPLES—ft few first rate ones, forfsale at jll FOXS". L IQUOR STORE.
