Eoot Crops.
To secure, in the most economical anil ap
propriate way, a regular supply of roots for a
whole winter several kind*, should lie raised.
Tii? common white turnip cannot he kept in
good condition much beyond the end of Do- |
comber or beginning of January. A calcula-
tion should therefore be nvide a* to the amount
likely to be needed until about the first of Ja
nuarv, at the rate of from a peck to half a
bushel each per d y for cows and cattle, and
a pro|Krtinnately less quantity for sheep ; and
enough of land lie sown with sonic variety of
tlie common white turnip to secure a supply
for the period just named. As an average
crop of white turnips ranges from tiflO to 1,000
1 nisliels per acre, n calculation can be made on
this basis, the yield being likely to correspond
in quantity to the condition of the soil and the
amount of care and labor which can he spared
for the cultivation of the crop. For the sup
pi v of roots for the remainder of the whiter,
ruta bagtis alone will answer, or what would
be better still, there may be ruta bajras, man
golds, carrots, parsnips, sugar beets, in almost
any proportion. Any of these, if well stored,
will keep in good condition as long as roots
jnnv be wanted. Were nutritivencss alone re
garded, rutabagas or some other of the roots
last named, might be used during the whole of
the winter season. But, though white turnips
contain less nutritive matter, this is counter
balanced bv their requiring less manure or a
less rich soil, or, in other words, by their leav
ing the soil with a greater supply of ammonia
for the wheat or other crop, requiring aiiimo
niaeal supplies, which limy follow on the same
land. Another advantage of the white tur
nip crop is that it requires a shorter season to
bring it to maturity than any of tlie other
roots. It mar be sown as late as August, or
after wheat, peas, early potatoes or other ear
ly crops have been removed from the land up
on which it is to be raised. And still further,
as a recommendation of this crop, it may be
raised in a sufficient quantity for the supply of
stock on the majority of farms by sowing the
seed, when the weather is showery or the soil
is not suffering from drought, between the
rows of Indian corn. The corn, we believe,
will suffer no injury ; and if more turnips are
thus raised than are likely to be needed until
January, they may lie left unharvested, and
sheep turned in on them late in the fall.—

CULTIVATION OF CHANUKRHIES. — At the New
Hampshire State Fair, It. 11. Auburn, cxhi
hibitcd some cultivated Cranberries raised in a
run not very wet, but bordering upon the high
land. His'proccss of cultivation he stated to
bo this: to remove the surface of the earth
sonic three inches in depth, which in this case
was carted to the pig stye ; he then took sand
from the shore of a pond, and spread it plenti
fully upon the ground, second year after this
he had a plentiful crop. This was done three
years ugo.—And the vines now cover the
ground completely, no grass or weeds being
present. He has done nothing to the vines i
since, and says the average yield will bo, the
present year, two bushels of cranberries to
every ten feet square. He esteems this the
most profitable crop he can cultivate. He
lias live acres of this land which he intends to
appropriate to this uso.
When it is considered that fruit is now sold
at not less than two dollars a bushel in our
markets, this may be considered as fanning to
some purpose and profit.
To PRESKRVF STRAWIIERRIKS WHOLE.
Make a syrup boiling hot, and having pick
ed fine large strawberries free from hulls (or,
if preferred, leave them and half an inch of the
stem on,) pour it over them ; let it remain un
til the next day ; then diain it off and boil
again ; return it hot to the fruit ; let them re
main for another night ; then put thorn into
the kettle and boil gently for lialf an hour ;
cut one in two ; if it is done through, take
thera from the syrup with a skimmer, and
spread them on flat dishes to cool ; boil the
syrup until thick and rich ; then put the fruit
into glass jars ; let the syrup cool and settle ;
then pour it carefully off from the sediment
over the fruit.
"RAIN WATER CISTERNS. —Wc would advise
those who are about to dig cisterns, to hold
rain water, to consider whether it is not worth
their consideration to make their cisterns
above ground. Make a heavy trussel work,
then a heavy frame work of the dimensions
desired—board that up, Hue with lead, cover
it with a tin roof painted, and direct the wa
ter into it from the roofs. It will last a quar
ter of a century with care ; and by it you
have only to turn a cock to let water run, in
stead of pumping it up with much labor. If
well [nit up, it will never leak.
Mm.—There are many farmers who scarce
ly seem to be aware of the value of the ma
nure which can be obtained from the margins
of many rivers and creeks. In most cases
this heavy black deposit is the richest part of
a vegetable soil and can be used as a manure
to great advantage.
I'ond mud is a valuable fertilizer. When
you have leisure, cart out a quantity of it, and
mix it with your compost, or put it in your
cattle yards and hog pens to be mixed with
the excrement and absorb the liquid.
SAW HI ST. —Spread saw dust over the floors
mid stalls of your cattle houses every morning
and night ; cleanse them thoroughly, and let
care be exercised to prevent the unnecessary
accumulation of tilth. Saw dust placed in
your hog styes, sheep cotes and horse stalls,
will come out excellent manure, highly salu
tary to most favorablo results Every parti
cle of alimentary matter you save adds to the
actual resources of the farm.
CORN ST.\I.KS. —A writer in the American
Agriculturist states that he thoroughly cured
a tine young mare afflicted with the heaves,
by feeding her on corn stalks, and that the
disease never returned. The writer quoted
Judge Buck's opinion as to corn stalks being
a remedy, that distinguished agriculturist hav
ing had a horse afflicted with that disorder,
which disappeared after being so fed.
BARLEY. —The high price of barley is turn
ing the attention of farmers to its cultivation,
in lieu of oats.

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
ASH
DIRECT & TO-sVFRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
J "AMES HARRIS, Lr.KCTiiiri an, 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, front its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Sonic eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extra- ting minerals from the hodv,
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, fornot only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut eared 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 tlie 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 arc tlie 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. 14. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND
TO-AND FRO ELECTRO M AGNKTIC M At'BINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic maehines 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 verv
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 taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also tlie
Maehines, at my honse in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I ani also sole agent for Bradford eountv. for the above
Machines. JAMES HAJUUS.
