/;trnier's Department. Exhausting the Soil. \\ u hear ami read uuieh concerning exhaust ed soils. " Worn-out lands " would seem to ho the patrimony of many femurs in the middle, eastern and .southern State-. The " great j gun," if we may so speak, of the western a;-] rieultural ]>r.ss, is tho rich, he, so l of the jirairie and bottoms—in many instances this heiug from twelve to fifteen and even twenty feet in depth. There is doubtless in the "hand to month " proceedings of many of the tillers of the soil much cause for deterioration of land, subjected, as it is, to the skinning and bleeding processes practised bv thetn. That this, however, is the general tendencies or una voidable results of American farming we beg leave to deny, and the experience of everyday life, both at home and abroad, will, we think, fully sustain our position. That land from which crerylhing is tikev urn/ no teturns motif will in the course of time fail t<< produce its average of crops is palpa ble--but under a system of judicious cultiva tion. where that which is grown upon a field i returned to it either in the shape of manures, refuse matter or the plowing under of green crops—where the farmer will carefully hus band the various elements of fertility and give them to the soil, land instead of deteriorating will improve. Vegetation, while in process of growth, draws no inconsiderable portion of its vitality from the atmosphere in the form of carbon, and where this is given to the soil and incorporated with it, it inevitably tends to augment its fertility. Animals, in the masti cation and digestion of their food, partake of this component to supply the demands of the system, yet much of it is retained in their ex crements, and, should the soil, from which their provender is removed, receive the total of the droppings a higher standard of fertility would result. An Ohio gentleman, Clias. Roemclin, at pre sent in Europe, writes to the Ohio Farmer on this subject, as follows : "We read in America much of the ' ex hausted soil of Kurope.' I have seen none of it. So far from being exhausted, I think the soil of Kurope is now better than ever, and that it is made to yield larger crops than ever. I low can soil he exhausted which has for cen turies received plentifully of manures, and ma nures made upon the best possible system ? I think a little reflection, coupled with the pro per observance of European agriculture, must lead to the conviction that the soil of Kurope is constantly receiving more hack in manure, Ac., than is taken away in products. Of all farin products, the atmosphere and rains fur nish the larger quantity of its component parts, and whenever a proper system of ma nuring exists, the ground must become con stantly enriched. In Kurope manure is the ever-present idea of the fanner, and by gath ering all offals, and making manure in every conceivable way, he does not only bj green manuring, such as plowing clover under, hut i by stable, factory, street and dwelling nianure, j take good care to return to mother earth the ' rental she requires,and do it without grudging, 1 and with compound interest. Soil is only there exhausted where crops are raised which are entirely removed, and of which nothing is returned to the soil—for instance, tobacco.— This is very little the case in Eurojie. The tine wheat crops which smile upon the traveler as he is rushed past them by railroad speed, ' would be an impossibility if the idea of cx- i haustion were true. The meadows, too, which are mown thrice every year, and each time give a good crop, and have been so mown forages, contradict this exhaustion theory. No! the European farmer and his land are always on good terms with each other. The man gives good husbandry and the laud yields good crops." The various modes by which soil that has lost its fertility can be restored, and which are most extensively adopted, may l>e called me chanical and chemical. The first of these will more particularly claim our attention at pre sent, as every cultivator possesses the means to bring it into use. The most important of the operations in this department is deep and thorough tillage. The soil, as a general rule, is not plowed to exceed three or four inches in depth. The manures applied are carried by moisture below to to the subsoil, and remain there until brought to the surface by the sub soil plow. Thousands of acres in Virginia that have been subjected to this slovenly kind of treatment, and have been sold for a mere nothing, now rank among the best, producing lands in the country, and the change has been wrought in a very short period of time by the simple agency of deep culture. Fertilizing properties that have lain hidden for years are turned np, and the new comer is put in pos session n.t P. r>. MOKKOW.

WELLES A CO. THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, DIRECT 8t TO &. FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. JAMES HARRIS. ELECTRICIAN - , of Towanda, re-pert fully Informs tlie public that lie lias lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chcmien! Bath, which lias proven to lie one of tlie most Important and wonderful discoveries of tlie 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 his 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 liath to draw from tin- system all mi nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. A'ery often persons are afflicted by diseases which are beyond tlie comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which arc tlie effect of poisonous mine ral's accumulating in the system tor 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 i'holic, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Neuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S.T*. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND TO-AND FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINE, which is a great improvement on the Magnetic nun bines 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 skill—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. I 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 count v. for the above Machines. JAMES HARRIS. To wanda, December 22. is. L I QUOR STORE.
