About Antumn Work in Orchards.
At this season of the venr farmers ore more
frequeutlv in three orchards than at any other.
.Judgiug "from the replies made to some inqui
ries to the condition of the bark, marks of in
sects depredations, &c., we have some occasion
to fear that many regard not the state of their
trees, and can give an account only of the
amount of their produce even after repeated
visits to their orchards. If it should be else
where and everywhere as we have found it
within a limited circle of observation, it will be
generally true that the few who give evidence
of having observed and cared for the condition
of their trees, or have even taken any special
pains to put or preserve them in a thrifty
state, are themselves the most thriving, indus
trious, and intelligent of their several neigh
borhoods. Such men will generally be found
to be amoug the not-large class of " very lucky
fellows." So at least we have found it.
Now if the " good luck" of those thriving
men who look to their ways, their crops, their
trees, aud everything else about them, should
be connected in any way with their more than
usual watchfulness of the state of their or
chards or their greater than usual pains taking
therewith —and " good luck" is so mysterious
a matter that there is no telling, according to
some, what is independent upon or connected
with—then the lucky ones might easily allow
the example of their more lucky and some
times envied neighbors, at least in this one
respect. They might easily, certainly, aud
without much of that " trouble" which many
of them so greatly dread and detest, devote a
few momeuts, when visitiug their orchards to
pick fruit, to observe whether their trees
look healthy and thrifty or otherwise, wheth
er the bark is rough or smooth, and whether
there any signs of the preseuce or depredations
of injurious insects. If the bark should not
look clean, and bright, as it should do, or if
there are marks of iusect depredators of any
kind, then those not yet " in luck" may, per
haps, have a change of fortune if they will imi
tate the more lucky of their brother-tillers of
the soil, aud scrape and scrub aud wash both
in autumn and in spring, or in one of them at
least, those trees whose bark aud outward ap
pearance do uot look quite right. Let them
imitate the example of those who have hail
good luck with their trees for ten, twenty, and
even forty years, and wash every tree with
lye made from wood ashes or potash. Even
young trees will bear a lye strong enough to
make an egg swim ; but less strength will suf
lice to kill " varmin" and make the bark
smooth. Those who attend to these hints may
look out for visit from Good Luck at no very
distant day.—X— .Country Gentleman.
SriMCH.—Spinich, or spinage, may be sown
during the early part of this month for fall,
and early spring use ; the sowing may be con
tinued at intervals up to at least the in d
die of the mouth. The quality of the spinach
depends much upon the richness of the soil ;
the object should be to induce a rapid growth.
Spread ou and dig under a good coating old
barn-yard manure ; the older the better.—
Sow the seed in drills about six inches apart ;
for the last sowing, inteuded to be kept over
for early spring use, the drills uiay be only
four juches apart.. When the seed is well up
give the plants a hoeing, as well to destroy
the weeds as to encourage a rapid growth If
the seed has been sown thickly, the plants will
probably need thinning out. On the approach
of cold weather, cover the beds intended to be
kept over winter with hay or straw. This
coveriug is not indispensibie, but its advauta
ges are sufficiently great to warrant the trou
ble. The plauts are not so liable to be thrown
out by frost ; the tops are less injured by ex
treme changes in the weather ; and an early
growth takes place in the spring. As to kinds
the broad leaved Savoy is probably the best.
PIGS AND PIGGERIES. —Wc never could con
ceive why some of our fanners would persist
in feeding one of these long geared, flatted si
ded animals unless it was for the purpose of
ascertaining how much corn it would destroy. !
The attemp to fatten them for market with !
profit is insane—we know nothing that will so 3
quickly consume a man's patrimony except it
be bank and railroad stocks. Secure good
stock for the farm, whether it be cattle, sheep
or swine,—these are the right kind of " fau
cies"—they always declare houest dividends,
never suffer from street panics, nor, when they
are wanted, do they collapse
Rapidity and economy arc the objects which
should be kept in view by those fattening
swine, and every means calculated to promote '
these ends shou.d be readily adopted. Exjieri-1
meats have frequently been made in which, [
the comparative effects of raw and boiled food ,
have been tested, and the great benefits aris
iug from the consumption of the latter suffi
ciently demonstrated to warrant the expendi
ture and trouble necessary to thus prepare it.
Regularity in feeding is of paramount impor
tance —delay will soon cause a loss equal to
the good resulting from the previous meal.—
The quantity should be so gauged that while
none be put upon •' short allowance" there will
be, at the same time, nothing wasted
The kind of food best adapted for fattening
swine is well known to our readers, still, as the
pig is almost au omuiverous eater —anything
seeming to " tickle his palate"—variety is an
essentail. The Smithfield (Eng.) Club directs
all exhibitors to state how their animals are
fed, aud from these statements it appears that
barley, bean, pea-meal, peas, corn-meal, pota
toes. middlings, skim-milk, whey, &c\, are us
ed, the barley, and pea-meal taking the palm
as the choicest food. The following mixture
is highly recommended by English feeders.—
" A few roots of manglod, or Swedish turnips
well steamed, a little bran or meal added ; or
instead of those, brewers' gains or half-malted
barley well boiled, and given moderate cold
and in a moist state." Potatoes, with a little
meal, are much used in the earlier stages of
fattening, the quantity of meal being increas
ed as the period of slaughtering approaches.—

ANEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure
of all Billions diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion
Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers "Gout, Ilumors,
Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamations, Headache, Pains
in the Breast. Side, Back, 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 isalike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billious derangements. Tliey
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
midable distempers wnich load the hearses all oer 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
lirtherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fected Ijeyond l>elief. 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 :
l)oct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes
sional character is endorsed bv the—
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United
States.
ROBERT C. WIXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Rep resentati vcs.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE. Minister l'len. to England.
+JOHN B. FITZPATUICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
Dr. .1. It. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
Citv, endorsed by
Hon. W. 1.. M ARCY, Secretary of State.
WM. Is. ASTOB, 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 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 eß'eets upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and study,
are ottered 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, 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 best results.
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 by the
old mode of com position, 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 cftect 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 takeu under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he 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 ana British American Provinces. If however there
should be any one who has uot received them, they will
be forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would be taken it their composition was known ! Their
i 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 intriusic
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
i same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were more
j than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow
els, liver, uml other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derangemeuts as are the first origin of
disease.
