farmer's geprtincut. Clover Hay. The clovers arc jost considered as among , the best ami most valuable of the cultivated ; grasses. Yet, owing to an error in cutting ' and curing them, a very considerable portion of the rich nutritrive matters they contaiu is lost. As a preventive of this, a correspon dent of the Gennantown Telegraph gives the following : I have now a mow of red clover, sparsely intermixed with which are small quantities of white clover, red top, brown top and herds grass, which was cut when honeysuckles was in full bloom, and made in grass cock, accord ing to the rules laid down sometime since in the columns of your paper for curing this kind of hay. I iiaust say that although I had not much faith in the matter at first, the re sult has fully proved the correctness of the writer's views, and that I no longer doubt the theory upon which the practice is ba-cd. If clover is cut when in bloom and permitted to remain undisturbed in the swath till the forenoon of the secoud day nnd then turned, exposing the under and unwiltcd side to the aun for a few hours, and then pitched carefully into cocks of sixty-pounds weight, cured hay, and there allowed to stand till cured, the hay will be heavier, brighter of better flavor and possessed of far greater nourishment than hay of the same kind made in ordinary manner. The leaves and fine heads, which are inevit ably lost in drying in the ordinary way, in consequence of their brittleness wheu dried, are in this way preserved. The flavor of the hay is also vastly superior. One ton of good clover, made in this way, is worth, for feed ing, two tons cured the old way, and deprived by turuing, spreading and filching of its heads and leaves. The fermentation which it un dergoes in the cock is never suffieienlty vigor ous to dissipate any of the elimentary proper ties, nnd is rarely sufficient to be perceptible by the hand. That the heat is very moder ate is sufficiently attested by the fact that the color, not only of the foliage which is nat urally of a deep and vivid green, but the bright crimson of the flowers, is retained, which would not be the case where the fer mentation as vigorous as many would lead us to believe. Any grass cured in this way will be more nutritive, of better color and greater weight than the same grass made in the old way. IST A writer in the Scientific American recommends to the ladies a very simple ar rangement for keeping Imtter nice and coo! in the hottest weather. Procure a large new flowerpot, of sufficient size to cover the but-' ter-plate, and also a saucer large enough for the flowerpot to rest in upside down ; place a trivet or meat stand (sucii as is sent to the oven when a joint is baked) in the saucer, and put on this trivet the plate of butter ; now fill the saucer with water, and turn the flower pot over the butter, so that its edges will be below the water. The hole in the flower pot must be filled with a cork ; the butter will tbeu be in what we may call an air tight chamber. Let the whole of the outside of the flower-pot bo then thoroughly drenel ed with water and place as you can. If this be overnight the butter will be as "firm as a rock" at breakfast time , or, if placed there in the morning the butter will be quite hard for ue at tea hour. The reason of this is, that when water evaporates, it produces cold ; the po rus pot draws up the water which in warm weather quickly evaporates from the sides, and thus cools it, and as no warm air can now get at the butter it becomes firm aud cool iu the hottest day. SQUASHES. —Many persons fail to get good squashes in consequence of the bugs making such havoc with the young and tender plants, what they do not eat being so mutilated aud poisoued as to prevent their growth. Vari ous modes have been resorted to, to prevent these ravages, but with little effect. The squash is a stroug feeder, and needs a rich aDd warm soil, and when it ha 3 these, and can be kept out of the way of the bugs, there is no difficulty in procuring a good crop. The best preventative however, of the bugs, is to plant late—say from the 12th to the 20th of June ; the plants come thick at that season, if the soil is suitable and go on with a rapid and uninterrupted growth— Maine Farmer. FACTS FOR THE FARMER.— Fence posts nhould never be vet in the soil till seasoned although wood is known to be raore durable in wet ground, if the degree of mubturo is re gularly kept up. Constant wetness promotes rather than decreases the durability of posts ; still the fermeutations of the natural sap will induce rot. Wo ought to mention iu eou ncction with this, the fact that all timber used in the lower and more exposed parts of build ings, ought to be thoroughly seasoned before it is used. Whtn it is necesary to put in new sills, seasoned timber ought invariably to be selected. A sill or sleeper that is perfectly dry, if not placed too tear the surface of the ground will last much longer than a stick of the same size freshly cut and hewn. The higher a building sets above the surface, the longer the sills last. Carjjenters and other observing men assert, that wood cut in the shortest days of winter, does not prove dura ble as that cut in June. Wood partially sea soned, is also preferable, in many respects tor fuel, to that which is thoroughly dry. It is a mistake to suppose that the entire mass of fluid contained in wood, is mere water. Like the blood of the human system it is a compound liquid, of which pure aqueous particles con stitute the base ; but iu both cases chemistry has developed the presence of numerous other substances. In wood partially dry, the wa ter is in a great measure absent, and nil that is combustible, in the fluid, is left in the pores. PREPARATION* OK SEEDS. —Some seeds are so slow of genniuation that weeds grow in ad vance of them, and thus render their cultiva tion more difficult. Many of these, such as the carrot, parsnip, &e., may be buried in a bag in the soil a few days before use, and thus swell materially, by the humidity and other necessary conditions found iu the soil, before final use. This mode of treatment, in many cases, will do away with the necesajy for steeps, and render early germination quite certain. Care should be token not to have them buried long enough to cause material sprouting, as the new sprout might be broken off or iujured during planting.— Ohio Valley Farmer.

Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "Gout, Humors, j Nervousness, Irritability, Inhumation?, Headache, Pains lin the Breast, Side, Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints, Ac., Ac. Indeed very few arc 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 eO'e< to il Cathartic were more freely used. No per son can feci well while a costive habit of body prevails ; j besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, • which might have In en avoided bv the timely and judi -1 ci.ins life of a good | urgativ-. This is alike trueofC'olds, Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They | all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for | midable distemper-which load the hearses all oi-r the I land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im j nortanceto the public healtii, aud this Pill has been per i feeted with eonsnmmate skill to meet that demand. An j extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, , and Patients, has shown results surpassing anvthing [ hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef i letted beyond belief, were they not substantiated byper- I ous of such exalted positions aud character as to forbid ! the suspicion of untruth. | Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in ; tavor of the.-e Pills, we may mention : ( Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boton, and State As:saver of Massachusetts, whose high l'rofes | sional character i i ndorsed hv the— Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United | States. ROBERT C. WIXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of : Representatives. ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister Plen. to England. ; fJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston; ! al-o Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York ; City, endorsed by lion. W. L. MARCY, Secretary of State. \VM. B. AsTOK, the richest man in America. S. EEL AND A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan I Hotel, aud others. Did space permit, we conld give many hundred certi- j ficates trom all parts where the Pills have been used, but j evidence even more convincing than the experience of ! eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. | The-e rills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford.— They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, hut of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract ed by Chemical process in a state of puritv, and combin ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found iu Cherry I'ectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained bv anv process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode ot composition, every medicine is burdened with more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired fur the cu rative 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 he eonld not properly judge of a remedy | without knowing its composition. 1 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 i should be any one who has not received tbeni. they will i be forwarded by mail to his request. Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would lie taken it their composition was known ! Their lite consists in their mystery. 1 have no mysteries. The composition of my preparations is laid open to all men. and all who are competent to judge on the subject treely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic. men to be a wonderful medicine liefore its effects were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the : same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and arc willing to certify that their anticipations were more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful iuUucnce on the inter nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstructions of the stoni.ch, bow els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.
