farmer's §epariintul. Acommodation for Horses. Now that the Winter is approaching, we hare to sj>esk in behalf of that noblest, and most abused of onr domestic animals, the horse. That sign, which used to hang out np ou country taverns of the old school, " Accom modation'for man and beast," was usually a great fraud ujon the public, at least in the latter part of its promise. The accommoda tion for tiie horse was generally a narrow stall in an overstocked stable, with a hard pianfe floor, and a mere apology for a bed of straw. Here, after a long day's work upon the road, old Dobbin was expected to refresh his weary limbs. The thing was impracticable in that atmosphere, foul with the breath of twenty other tired horses, and with the effluvia of am monia coming up from the saturated floors ; and upon those hard planks, where the weight of the horse made a firm pressure upon the weiried muscles, as he lay down to sleep.— There was no chance for that relaxation of the muscles, which is as necessary to the brute, as to man. At borne, the horse is a little better off ex cept that the stable was not so full of horses, and he had a better atmosphere to breathe.— There was the same hard bed, and the same pungent smell from the filthy floors. Not one horse in a hundred is-properly accommodated ill the Winter. In the Summer when turned out to pasture, they resume their natural hah its in some measure, and regain their health which is often lost in their Winter confine ment. The benefit of the Summer pn*tnre, which is universally conceded by all who have any acquaintance with tiiis treatment, is not owing to t'iie change of food, than to the change of atmosphere and hod. I'iie horse, in his native condition, breaths the pure air of the prairies, and has under his hoof continual ly the soft turf. When he lies down, it is up on a bed of grass which yields to the pressure of his body, and puts every muscle at ease. Now, we believe, that all the conditions of the pasture, can be supplied to the horse in his stable, aud. that lie can be kept in the highest, health and spirits, in the barn, the year around We speak now of horses upon the farm, where green fodder is accessible for a part of the year. In the city, though their condition might be ameliorated, it can not be entirely remedied. Nature gives us the needful hints, if we will but heed her voice. The horse can have as pure wholesome air in the barn, as lie has upon the prairie, with out any exposure to the keen winds and storms that assail him in his natural state. Barns are generally constructed, without attention being paid to ventilation. The walls are near ly tight,and not unfrequentlv the supply of hay is stored in the mows over the stables, so that all the foul odors, escaping from the? lungs and bowels of the horse are absorbed by the hay, until it becomes unfit for food. He is com pelled to breathe over, many times, this foul air, and finds no relief except when lie is taken out of the stable. Is it any wonder, that hor ses become diseased under this treatment and die prematurely. A barn should be constructed with ventila tors, of a size corresponding to the number of animals it is designed to accommodate, so that the air will be changed as fast as it is breath ed. Tiiis can be done so tbat the animals will not be exposed to currents, or suffer from any undue degree of cold. Again: we can prepare a bed in the stable quite as comfortable, as any horse find* in his grassy pastures. The best bedding we have ever found for a horse, is a coat of dry pent, muck or sods, covered with straw. It should be a foot thick, and the drier the better This makes a soft warm bed, and while it ac commodates the horse in the best manner, it furnishes in the course of a year an enormous quantity of tnannre. The straw, and the solid fasces are removed every morning, and all the liquid is immediately absorbed. The stall should be at least six feet wide, and about a half a cord of muck will make a good bed.— This will last nearly two weeks before it be comes so saturated as to emit the smell of am monia. A horse stable should always be as sweet as a parlor, and it is a constant waste for a man ever to have it otherwise. Of course ' it requires more labor to furnish a horse with these accommodations, but we know from our own practice of several years, that the labor is abundantly paid for, not only in the health of the horse, but in the manure made by this process. We are confident that no farmer, who adopts this plan and iearns its advantages, will ever abandon it. We have lately seen stables constructed with deep cemented pits under the horse, in stead of a plank floor. The pits were four or five feet deep, and would hold perhaps two cords of muck or loam. They were filled with loam to the ordinary level of the floor, and the horses stood directly upon the loam, having a bedding of straw, of cotirse, at night. The advantages of the pits are, that they save ex pense of flooring, and the muck does not need removing so often. Such stables, of course, have to be upon the ground floor of the barn, and can not be had in all eases. The bed of muck well covered with straw, and the ventilation, are the things of chief im portance, and these are within reach of nearly all farmers. Attention to these things would add greatly to the power of their horses, and to their own pecuniary advantage. KEEPING POTATOES IN WlNTEß. —Potatoes spoil in Winter, if buried, from three causes. First and greatest, want of ventilation. Sec ondly, and nearly allied, dampness. Thirdly, and more rare, freezing. Farmers find most of their potatoes spoiled at the top of the heap where they suppose they become frozen ; but this is not the usual cause ; the damp, steamy air ascended there, and conld not escape, and this spoiled them. A hole made in the top, with a crowbar, and closed with a wisp of straw, would have allowed egress to the con fined air, and saved the potatoes. The best way to secure potatoes outdoors, is to make lurge heaps, say 50 or 60 bushels ; see that they are dry and clean, by digging be fore wet weather comes on ; cover them all over with one foot of packed straw, and three inches of earth. The straw will prevent dampness, and the few inches of earth will fa vor ventilation. A farmer who raises many |rotatoes, and practices this mode, does not lose a peck, on the average, in fifty bushels. A Western paper has discovered some grass from the " path of rectitude." We fear that path most be sadly overgrown with grass, it is so little traveled now-a-days. 83T There is n lady down east so high-mind ed that she dksdd' t< own that she has corn r or iilertfjanbue, TOWANDA HARDWARE CUTLERY, IKON AND STOYE STORE. gg I>.

Indeed very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much hi kness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless hut effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon pern-rates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judi cious are of a pood purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They all tend to lieeome 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 | :'ee*ed will; consummate skill to meet that demand. An [ extensive trial "t its virtues by Physicians. Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything : hrtherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef | fee ted beyond tieiief. were they not substantiated bvper j 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 : ! Port. A. A. HAVES, Analytical Chemist of Boston. and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high l'rofes- I sional character is endorsed bv the—• Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States. ROBERT C. WIXTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister P'.en. to Encrland. +JOHX B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop ol' Boston; also Dr. J. R. CIIILTON, Practical Chemist of New York j Citv, endorsed 1 y Hon. W. L. M ARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B. ASTOR. the richest man in America. S. EEL AND 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 Pills, the result of long investigation and study, arc offered to the public as the be-t and most complete which the present state of medical science can afford— Tiiey 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 compoiti >n for medicines lias 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 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 substauce 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 tlie world. As it is frequently expedient that many medicines should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi cian, and a> he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac curate Formula; by which both my Pectoral and Fills 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 that are offered, bow few would be taken ir their composition was known! Their lite consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. The composition of ray preparations is laid open to all men, and all who are competent to judge on the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of tlieir intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic ir.--n to le a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, aud 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 stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstructions of the stom.,ch, how els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, aud hy correcting, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease.
