ONE HUNDRED TONS OF GRAS3 TO AN ACRE.
—Mr EDITOR : The statement you published,
taken from an English paper, respecting the
raising of one hundred tons of grass on a sin
gle acre of land pertaining to Lord Derby's
estate, is undoubtedly correct, or nearly so.
1 had' the pleasure of visiting his lordship's
estate last summer, while on a tour of agricul
tural observation in England, and I am pre
pared to believe the statement. My visit was
made 'about the first of June, and they had
already secured two heavy crops of grass, and
it is not improbable that foor or live more
were cut during the long and favorable sea
son of last year. Four or five crops of heavy
stout, Italian rye grass is not unusual; Mr.
Mechi of the celebrated Triptree farm, inform
ed me that he had once grown seven during
the summer. This grass grows with great
rapidity in England when stimulated by the
rich, liquid uutrinicut so liberally, and coatin
ously applied.
Our farmers have yet much to learn res
pecting the scientific cultivation of the soil.
They have yet to learn how bountiful mother
earth mav be when properly diessed and car
ed for by the husbandman. It should be ob
served that the climate of England is much
more favorable for the growth of grasses than
our own, owing to its excessive humidity ; but
still, I do not know why several successive
crops may not be produced here, by the use
of liquid mauuriug and by careful, "systematic
culture. — J AS. lv. NICHOLS, llaterhill, Mas?.,
May, 1557.
A crop of two or three tons of hay on an
acre is considered pretty good husbandry in
these parts, with some aftermath or rowen
perhaps in the latter part of summer. lint
only figure up the crops spoken of by Mr. Nich
ols" in his letter to the Scientific American.
One hundred tons in five or seven crops of hay
on a single acre of land require each crop to
be fourteen or twenty tons ? Take either sup
position, and how could it be dried on
an English climate of very frequent rain ?
It may be Indian rye grass or any other grass ;
to convert into hay, the moisture must be ex
haled from it, after which the season's pro
duct is affirmed to weigh one hundred pounds
to an acre.
We have frequently read that some plants ,
—some plants, if not most—derive the prin
cipal part of their sustenace from the atmos
phere, the ground which holds their roots of
ficiating chiefly as convenience to keep them
right cud up, as their roots feel rather a pref
erence of being in the earth to a position high
up iu the air. Such, probably, is this char
acter of the rye grass, which r.otwiths audi g
all the liquid fertilizers with which the ground in
question was stimulated, must have its roots ;
it would seem an impossible ta.-k to take up
nourishm nt to fe<d such a voracious appetit
as it must have had, in order to expand to
twenty tons weight of hay at of five cuttings
in a year. To account for such a product we
must resort, consequently, to the atmospheric
theory, just as that experimenter did who
weighed the earth in his pot previous to plan
ting his flowers, weighed it again after culti
vating therein a large plant, and found that
on comparison, that it had lost not a penny
weight, though a heavy shrub had been pro
duced therein during the interval.—( Newark
Advertiser, May 21.
SMUT IN WHEAT. —Much has been said and
written about smut. Many experiments have
been resorted to discover its cause. The most
enlightened inference seems to be that it is a
disease, but what, and how cured, are the
important questions. Wc do not dispore a
discussion of the subject, but only to quote
from the Wisconsin Farmer the experience of
a wheat grower, lie says :
" As I have ever, in regard to all diseases,
considered an ounce of preveutation equal to
a pound of cure, I have,-from a careful inves
tigation become satisfied that the most fruit
ful source of smut is the heating of the seed in
the mow. With this view, my preventative
for some years past has been to let my wheat
for seed stand until quite ripe for cutting, and
then I advise to put it on a scaffold until
fully cured. Since I have practieedjthis mode
of saving seed, I have 110 smut in my wheat,
although my neighbors compluiu of their
wheat smutting."— Valley Farmer.
THE SUGAR BEET.—A mechanic having a
cow, and but a small piece of ground to de
rive the means of sustaining her, cannot do
much better than to plaut a portion or the
whole of it with sugar beets. He will in this
way secure more salutary aliment for his ani
mal than in any other way, and at a loss ex
pense. From eight to thirteen hundred bush
els have been taken from an acre, and in sev
eral cases, the crop lias amounted to fifteen
hundred. The roots attain a large size and
nutritious and wholesome. Swine fat rapidly
on boiled beets, and the pork made an on this
food is said to be more solid than that on po
tatoes or any other root. Wc would advise
every one this season to put in a small plot of
this vegetable, and give it a trial.-*-Acir Eng
land Farmer.
To IMPROVE POOR LAND.—l'lown down an
indifferent sod, harrow well if very jioor, apply
a coating of manure, or 200 lbs of Peruvian
Guano to the acre—sow with rye and clover.
The second year take off a mowing of clover,
and let the second crop grow as large and
long as possible. Then plow it down. Sow
again with rye or grass seed.
t>ag- A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman thinks the Spanish Chestnut common
in many parts of Europe, worthy of cultiva
tion here. Its fruit grows to twice the size
of our chestnut, aud is palatable only when
cooked—but then it is said to be excellent,
and is considered an important item of food
in some soctious of Europe.
REMEDY FOR HEAVES.—A writer in the
Agriculturist states he thoroughly cured aliuc
young mare afflicted with the heaves by feed
ing her 011 corn-stalks, aud that the disease
never returned. He quotes Judge Bud's
opinion as to corn-stalks being a remedy, that
distinguished agriculturist having had a horse
afflicted with that disorder, which disapj>eare 1
after being so fed.
A cow that runs almost entirely to milk will
grow poorer, rather than otherwise, iu good
pasture. She will require more water and
grass. Her rich food will be almost entirely
absorbed 111 the production of milk. She will
be likely, too, to be short lived. An excess
ive flow of milk has its dis d un'.agcs. Ohio

ANEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure
of all Billious diseases—Costivencss, Indigestion
Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers.'Gout, Humors,
Nervousness, Irritability, Intlamations, Headache, Pains
in the Breast, Side, BUCK, and Limbs. Female Complaints,
Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in which a
Purgative Medicine is not more or less required,and much
sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless
but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per
son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ;
besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases,
which might have been avoided by the timely and judi
cious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all over the
land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im
portance to the public health, and this Pill has been per
fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected beyond belief, were they not s ibstantiated by per
sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid
the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Poet. A. A. HAY ES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes
sional character is endorsed by the—
Hon. El)\\ ARD E\ EIiETT, Senator of the United
States.
ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speak r of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plen. to England.
tJOUN IJ. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New Y'ork
City, endorsed by
lion. W. L. MAItCY, Secretary of State.
\\ M. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
S. EEL AN I) A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
evidence even more convincing than the experience of
eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial.
The-e I'iils, the result of long investigation and study,
are_ offered to the public as the liest aud most complete
which tiie present state of nu-dical science can afford.—
They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
the medicinal virtues only of \ egetable remedies extract
ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of compos.tiou for medicines lias been found
in L berry Pectoral aiul Pills both, to produce a more cf
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
old ni'iile of composition, every medicine is burdened with
more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
this each individual virtue only that is desired for tjae cu
ratiyc effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as lie could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, I have suppled the ac
curate Formula; by which both my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States anu British American Provinces. If however there
should lie any one who has not received them, they will
be forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines tliat are offered, how few
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their
life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open to all
men, and all who are competent to judge on the subject
freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti
fic men to I** a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
'they operate by their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimnlate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow
els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action t" health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangements as arc the first origin of
disease.
