Effects of Clover Hay on Animals.
Sonic late writers have taken tlie position
that clover hay produces a most injurious ef
fect on domestic animals, particularly horses ;
aud that to this cause the great increase of dis
eased horses is to be attributed. We lately
heard a farmer affirm, that he believed the in
troduction f clover hay into general cultiva
tion the greatest curse yet inflicted on the
country, and assigned as a reason for this sin
gular opinion, its effects on auimals when used
as a fodder. Late English writers have at
tributed to this kind of hay the prevalence of
heaves in horses, and the great iucrease of
other diseases that effect the respiratory or
gans. This is a most important subject, and
should receive a full investigation. Clover is
too important a plant to be discarded or con
demned, except upon the most satisfactory ev
idence. Its value as a fertilizer and a prepar
ative for wheat, to say nothing of its use for
pasture and hay, would demand that it should
not be condemned unheard. For ourselves,
we have very little belief in the injurious prop
erties assigned to clover. Wc have used it
constantly for pasture and for hay, more than
thirty years, and never, to our knowledge, has
an auiraal suffered from it ; certainly, no horse,
has been taken with the heaves when fed on it
or while in our possession. As hay for sheep
wc have considered it unrivaled, and should
have no fears that any of onr stock would not
winter well, with a supply of well of well-cur
cd clover hay.
And here lies, we think, the great source of
objection to clover hay. It is too often im
perfectly cured. To save the leaves and the
heads, which arc apt to fall in handling or cur
ing the hay is put into the barn while the
large stems are full of moisture or the natural
juices, and the fermentation which ensues the
causes the whole mass to become damp ; ami if
not spoiled wholly, it becomes mouldy, black,
and when used raises such a dust, it is no won
der that horses and cattle are choked or their
lungs destroyed. Our experience shows that
clover may be perfectly cured without losing
any of its valuable parts —cured so that when
fed out, no more dust will be flying than from
timothy or herds-grass, and we are slow to be
lieve that from such hay any injury to auimals
ever ensues.— Ohii Vail y Farmer.
LIME BARRELS FOR PRESERVING APPLES.—
A correspondent of the New Jersey Farmer
says :
'• I had occasion to overhaul some apples
the other day. They were picked in the or
chard, and on the same day, and were put
away the same day ; and some in flour bar
rcls aud some in lime barrels. Those in the
flour barrels were much decayed, while those
in the lime barrels were sound, and but very
few showed any signs of decay. The apples
were of the same variety." Under certain
circumstances, it is well known that lime act
us an antiseptic, though under other cireum
stances it accelerates dcconqiosition. For in
stance, it will preserve dry straw, but decom
poses wet straw. Iu the above instance, tin
lime on the barrels probably excluded the air.
and absorbed the the moisture given ofTby the
apples, and thus counteracted two of the prin
cipal causes of decay.
We also see it stated that apples have bcei
preserved perfectly in salt barrels. A corres
poudent of the Scientific American says he
" purchased five barrels of choice apples last
Fall, from one pile and put them in his cellar.
On the Ist of April he found that those in four
of the barrels were mostly decayed, while those
in the other were perfectly good and sound !
Upon examination he found that the one bar
rel had contained salt, and to this fact he at
tributed the pseservation of the fruit. We
ate perfectly sound apples on the 20th of this
month (July,) which had been kept without
any unusual care. Perhaps the most impor
tant part of preserving apples and other fruit,
is to pick them carefully by hand from the
trees aud to avoid bruising them.
ASHES AS MANURE. —No farmer now-a-days
throws away his ashes, but all do not know in
what quantities to apply them to their lands.
A practical correspondent of the Gevessec Far
tner, gives his experience briefly in the follow
ing terms : On the use of ashes, leached and
unleuched, I can speak with confidence, hav
ing seen very encouraging results from their use
on grass. On a meadow of the aforesaid soil,
which had been in grass several years and
nearly run out, leached ashes were spread 011
in the fall at the rate about forty bushels to
the acre. The next season the hay crop on
that part treated with ashes was more than
double what it was on the rest of the field, ac
cording to the extent ; and the season follow
ing the effects of the ashes were nearly as great
—the grass growing more luxuriantly, and
keeping green longer than the rest. Unlcach
ed ashes were tried in smaller quantities, with
similar effect. For reclaiming grass land that
lias been cropped for years, I think there is no
manure, accessible to all farmers, that is as
beneficial as wood ashes, as they contain, to a
great extent, those elements, which have been
exhausted from the soil by the growing plauts.
CUTTINGS —In putting in cuttings, never
leave but one bud above ground. Whether
the cutting have two, three or four buds, but
one should be put under the ground, and that
one but jnst above the surface. If yon put
but one bud under ground and two or three
above, the leaves from these above, arc out
of proportion with the roots from that below ;
they evaporate water faster than the roots cau
supply it ; and the cutting droops and dies,
upon much the same principle as when, in
transplanting a tree, you deprive it of a large
portion of its roots without equally diminishing
the top. Whether a cutting should be placed
horizontally and shallow, depends much npon
the nature of the soil. If the soil is inclined
to retain water, it may be shallow, but should
approach a perpendicular direction, running
deeply, in a soil that readily evaporates water.

To KEEP RHOKED MEAT IN SUMMER. —We
have preserved our hams for twenty years, iu
the following way, and have the first one yet
to be attacked by insects or become tainted.
It is simply when the warm weather approach
es to have them well rubljed with clean, dry,
hickory ashes, then packed down, well sprin
kled with ashes, in a tight cask, and closely
covered. The ashes are easily washed off and
help rather thau otherwise, to cleanse the meat

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 liecome or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all o*er the
land. Hence a reliable family physic, is of the first im
portance to the public health, aud 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
lirtlicrfo known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated 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 :
Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assaver of Massachusetts, whose high Profes
sional character is endorsed bv the—
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United
States.
ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the Honse of
Representatives.
ARBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England.
fJOHN B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. M A RCY, Secretary of State.
WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
S. KELAND A Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
ficates front all parts where the Pills have licen used, but
evidence even inore convincing than the experience of
eminent public men. is found in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and study,
are ottered to the public as the best and most complete
which tiie present state of medical science can afford.—
They arc compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the liest results.
This system of composition for medicines lias been found
in Cherry Peetoraland Pills both, to produce a more ef
ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
old mode 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 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 moire powerful an
tidote to disease thau any other medicine known to the
world.
As it is frequently expedient- that many medicines
should lie taken under the connsc-1 of an attending Physi
cian, and as he could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its cora|>osition, 1 have suppled the ac
curate Formula! by which lmth my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States ana British American Provinces. If however there
should be any one who has not received them, they will
be forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would be taken ii 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 be a wonderful medicine before its cll'ects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
same tiling 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 jMiwerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove" the olistructions of the stomach, how
els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangements as arc the first origin of
disease.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE
CHAIN PUMP TUBING.
THE subscrilier having lately commenced the manufac
ture of WATER TUBING, at Wilkes-Rarre, Pa. with
WYCKOFF'S PATENT BORING MACHINE,
which produces the article so long sought after hy l'ump
Manufacturers and others, would call the attention of Rail
road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village
Corporations and all others in want of cheap and durable
Water Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured hy this pro
cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling
from 3 to 6 inches square, according to size of bore and
pressure required, in sections 8 feet long, with a socket
piint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As Wy
choflTs Machine bores directly through the centre every
time, the timber need only be large enough to sustain the
pressure wanted, as the smaller they are the more perfect
ly they iiecome saturated with water, and the longer they
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, the thin sharpened end will be sound ;
at the same time they never stop up from impurities of
the water or being flattened, are free from rust or poison
ous oxydes, lasting about as long as lead or iron, at ouly
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 be made to stand any desirable head of
water, and can he shipped to any part of the country with
safety and at small expense.
