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

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
ANT>
DIRECT &. TO &. 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.
