farmer's gepitrhimit.
Hay Making.
Cut yonr liny fit (lie right time Philosophy
nrni practice seldom agree. When in the right
time ?is the question for solution. Our neigh
Dor—one of them—cut his liny a week in ad
vacc of most of his brother farmers —cut it
verv soon after the seed had commenced to
form, frequently before the bloom had disap
peared—cured it in the sun partially—not al
together. No one had better hay. 11 is crop
was secured before any of it had became wood.
Pry sticks, and the fragrant, well cured hay
in his barns, were not analogous. Another
neighbor waited until others were done, that
he might obtain help at cheaper rates. Two
weeks after other had finished his " last day
of haying" came. There was another gain,
he sail, by this course. The grass was riper
and made faster —more was accomplished in
a day—hence, it did not cost near the amount
to do his having that it did other people.
Of course not, but his complaint was. when
winter came, " My hay does not spend well.
My cattle eat heartily,but do not thrive as they
should. Neighbor A. does not feed his cattle
as well I do miuc, vet they are in far better
flesh."
The hay, sir, the hay makes the difference.
Cut it at the right time—just before the seed
is matured—before woody matter predomin
ates in the stalk. Some suppose the woody
matter is useless as an article of nourishment,
but it is not Indigestible, though insoluble in
water. The age of the grass alone does not
govern the amount of nutritive matter when
made into hay, but soil, climate and season
modify its value greatly. We would prefer
to cut it in bloom, (or a portion of the crop)
rather than let it remain to shell its seed.
There are chemical considerations which enter
into these directions. There is no doubt but
there is more of the element of nutrition in
grass at the time of flowering, but it is a ques
tion if such nutrition remain in greater quan
tity after the process of curing, when such
process is commenced before, or soon after,
the seed commences to form. This is an open
question. The quicker your hay is made and
secured after it has reached the proper state, the
better. The cutting of the first hay crop
ought not to extend beyond three weeks.
We think the value of the grass crop, alter
it is made into hay, depends as much on the
manner of curing as on the time of cutting.
The whole crop may be spoiled in curing, no
matter when cut. The following practical
directions arc given from experience :
Cut in the morning. If the grass is heavy,
or grccu and damp, stir out. Let it wilt.—
liake up and put in small cocks, if good weath
er, larger if " catching weather.". Let it
remain in the cock until it has sweat thorough
ly. Tip over, shake apart, (jive it one or
two hours good sun, and stack, or slow it in
your mow.
Do not mew more than you can secure in
cocks the same day. Night dews injure hay,
if partially cured. Throw salt on your hay,
especially if it is clover, as you put it on the
mow—four quarts to each ton. — Pra-rie For
mer.
DESTROY YOUR WEEDS. —It is curious sight
to sec farmers fighting weeds all through spring
and summer, aud then letting all that escape
go to seed and spread their mischief though
out the fall !
Look at any of our corn-fields or potato
patches in September, and lo ! what a choice
assortment of pig-weeds, beggar's lice, and
other of the weed tribe, flaunt their seed-pods
to the breeze, ready for any amount of mis
chief in the spring.
Even our gardens, wherein, if anywhere, an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
are usually left to mature u wilderness of weeds
every season, and not a blgw struck to remedy
the matter, when blow would be worth stri
king.
It is true, some very prudent proprietor
may an hour or two spend in pulling up dock
or burdocks, but instead of exterminating them
bv fire and faggot, he throws thorn into the
highway, where hoof and wheel thresh them
out, aud the first wind or rain is sure to scat
ter them broadcast over all the region ; and
so next year he has all his work to do over
again.
Now, wc hold that no good farmer or gar
dener will ever let a weed g<> to seed upon his
domain. Have them out ! hoe them out—
out with thcin at any cost ! The barn-vard
and muck heap will be glad of them ; and
when secured green, they are worth their
weight in any kind of manure, hardly except
ing guano. Hut when the seeds, are ripe
then nothing but fire should be their portion.
There is an old story of a race of beings
who were doomed as a punishment, to pour
water in a seive till it should be full.
Let each fanner see to it, that the seive
through which daily meal comes has no tares
in its bottom.— T.ifc Illustrated.
WT. V.PJ.VG THE H ARDEN - -Much of the suc
cessful gardening now depends upon keeping
the weeds down and frequent scarifying of the
soil. Every weed that is suffered to stand,
draws something from the aliment of the cul
tivated crops. Every one that is plucked up
loosens the soil, and admits the air and moist
ure to nourish the plants. Keep the hoe mov
ing in the garden briskly this month, if you
would refresh yourself with green peas in .Ju
ly : beets ; tomatoes beans, and corn, nutmegs
and water-mcllons, in August.
HINTS KOR THE FARMERS.— If the following
are worth a place in your paper, they arc at
your service :
Swellings in oven, cows and other domes
tic animals, may be easily " scattered," by
usiug an embrocation composed of the follow
ing ingredients :
One quart proof whiskey, one half pound
soft soap, and half an ounce of camphor.—
The soap must be dissolved in the whiskey or
other proof spirit, and the camphor added af
ter the mixture is poured into the bottle.—
These articles, prepared in the manner above
prescribed, form a liquid opodeldoc, with
which every farmer should be supplied. Lame
oxen, from swellings on the legs and neck, is
quite frequent, especially at seasons wllcu
their assistance is most needad by the farmer
and when, oonseqnentlr. he caii but ill afford
to allow of their lying still.
Old toncs make an excellent ingredient in
the comjxjst heap. Break them up as fine as
practicable, and place them in a tub with sul
phuric acid,and they will speedily be dissolved.
Four the saturated liquid 011 the compost hesp
and the acid will perforin good service in "fix
ing" the ammonia, aud the bones in furnishing
pabulum to your vegetable crops.

j Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much
• sickness and suffering might be prevented, if ;t harmless
j but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per
• son can fee! well while a costive habit of body prevails ;
j besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases,
; which might have been avoided hv the timely and judi-
I cious ue of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
j all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all oer the
! land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the lirst fan
| portauceto the public health, and this Pill has been per
! fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
I extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors,
i and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hrtherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
j fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated byper
i sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid
J the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
j favor of these Pills. v;e may mention :
Poet. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assayer oi Massachusetts, whose high Profes
' sionai character is endorsed by the -
Hon. EDWARD KVKUKT'i', Senator of the United
; States.
ROBERT WINTHROP, Kx-Speakcr of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Pleu. to England.
tJOHN B. FITZP ATKICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston:

j Or. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
I City, endorsed hy
lion. W. L. M.YRCY, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR. the richest, man in America,
I S. EELANI) A CO., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
j Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred -crti
fieutes from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
; evidence even more convincing than the experience of
j eminent public men, i> found in their effects upon trial.
I The>e Pills, the result of long investigation and study,
j are offered to the public as the best and most complete
: which the present state of medical science can afford.—
They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
! the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies cxtract
| od by Chemical process in a state of purity, and eombiu
j ed together in such a manner as to insure t he best ITS ilts.
This system of composition for medicines has been found
in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While liy the
; old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with
; more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
j this each individual virtue only that is desired for the ru
rative effect i> present. All the inert and obnoxious
qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the
I curative virtues only being retained. Hcucc it is self
evident the effects should prove as tbev have proved,
j more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
; tidote to disease than any other medicine knowu to the
; world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
j should l>e taken under the counsel of an atteudiug Physi
! dan. and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
| without knowing its composition, i have suppled the ao
i curate Formula: by which both my Pectoral and Pills arc
] made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
; States ano British American Provinces. If however there
| should he any one who has not received them, they will
j be forwarded by mail to his request.
I Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
\ would lw taken it their composition was known ! Their
, life consists in their mystery. I have n<> mysteries.
The composition of mv preparations is laid open to all
! men, and all who are competent to judge on the subject
j freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
j merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti
, fie men to he a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
1 same tiling of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
! than realized by their effects n|H>n trial,
i They operate by their powerful influence on the inter
-1 rial viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into lieal
! thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow
i els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
j irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
I they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of
{ disease.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE
CHAIN PUMP TUBING.
TITHE snbscrit>er having lately commenced tiic inanufae
-1 tare of WATER TCBIXO, at Wilkes-Rurre, Pa. with
WYCKOFF'S PATENT BORING MACHINE,
which produces the article so long sought after by Pump
Manufacturers and others, would call the attention of Rail
road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village
Corjioratioiis and all others in want ot cheap and durable
Water Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured by this pro
cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling
from 3 to ti inches square, according to size of bore and
pressure required, in sections 8 feet long, with a socket
joint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As Wy
clioft's Machine bores directly through the centre every
time, the timber need Only be large enough to sustain the
pressure wanted, as the smaller they arc the more perfect
ly they become saturated with water, and the longer tbey
will last when laid in the ground. It is a well-ascertain
ed fact that while the body or thick part of a pump log is
entirely decayed, thethiu sharpened end will be sound ;
at the sauic tunc they never stop up from impurities of
tiic water or being flattened, are free from rust or poison
ous oxydes, lasting about as long as lead or iron, at only
one-sixth the cost.
The above-mentioned Pipes have been extensively and
thoroughly tested in most of the Northern States, for the
past two years, and wherever introduced they immediate
ly supersede all other kinds of Pipe or Chain Pump Tub
ing. They can lie made to stand any desirable head of
water, and can be shipped to any part of the country with
safety and at small expense.
