farmer's department.
Look out for the Winter.
The falling leaves reminds us that the cold
and stormv months are near at hand—are
even here. Silently, hut steadily aud surely
the seasons revolve, each bringing its peculiar
pleasures and duties. The boys through the
country, we take it, arc now enjoying them
selves in gathering chestnuts, beechnuts, but
ternuts, walnuts, aud the like, for their con
sumption during the long Winter evenings.
Farmers and provident housekeepers general ly
are storing away in their cellars, apples, Y\ in
ter pears and vegetables and supplying their
barns and sheds with all things needful for the
health and comfort of their stock.
Alas ! we fear we must recall the
last statement, or modify it somewhat. There
are farmers who neglect some of their duties
at this season, and need occasional prompting
from their neighbors or from the agricultural
press. To such we say, Look out for Winter !
See that your barns are in complete repair.
It is economy to spend all needful time anil
labor in doing this. All domestic animals as
you know, must keep up their vital heat by
some means, to about 100 degs., and this can
be done wholly by consuming food, or in part |
by food, and partly by shelter, if they are j
left out of doors, or kept in dilapidated sta-1
bles, they will eat us much more to keep them- i
selves warm than if they were comfortably i
housed. And besides, a uniform temperature ,
is healthier for animals, as for men, than a
changeable one. It is great folly to keep
stock out of doors in Wiuter for the sake of
" hardening them."
Our exhortation, then, is to give horses,
cattle, sheep, and even pigs and poultry good
Winter quarters. Those which are fitting for
market, will of course need more shelter and
care than others which are simply being Win
tered over ; but all should be made comfort
able. Battens should be nailed over the cracks
on the exposed sides of the barus, every loose
board should be tightened, and double walls
in the immediate neighborhood of the liorse
stalls would not be thrown labor away.
Then, as to fodder, see to it that you have
enough. Short commons in Winter is no mark
of good farming. Pinch yourself, rather than
your stool. To make food go a great ways :
provide yourself with a straw-cutter. Corn
stalks cut fine will be eaten up to the bulbs by
cattle ; and straw, clover and coarse hay, will
be eaten mnch cleaner than if fed out uneut
They will also be better digested. If grain
or meal of any kind is mixed with the cut food
it should always be moistened with water.—
Apples, carrots, turnips, potatoes, Ac., should
be kept on hand, ami fed out at intervals in
the Winter. The dumb beasts relish these
dishes exceedingly, and every trne farmer can
read their satisfaction in their expressive faces
aud such readings does him good.
SALTING PORK. — It is important to have the
pork well cooled before salting. And it should
never be allowed to freeze. It should always
have a great supply of salt, and of the strong
est quality, and brine should be made and
poured into the barrel. For if nothing but
water is put in with the salt the pork may be
injured before the salt is melted enough to
make good brine.
The meat should hare a weight upon it, to
keep it under the brine ; for if pieces of meat
are permitted to rise above the brine, and re
maiu there for any considerable time, they
will be tainted, and will not taste sweet, as
well-salted meat always will.
A wooden cover is often used to keep the
meat uuder the brine, but a stone cover is
better. A hole may be driiled in a stone
cover and a handle inserted at a very small
cost.
In regard to the scum that onr correspon
dent speaks of we say that standing pools of
water, either salt or fresh, will have a scum
on them. Agitation is the remedy which na
ture provides. The ocean is agitated to keep
it pure, and agitation, coupled with salt, is ef
fectual.
Fonda have impure water —nnd why ?
Ponds of amail dimensions are not agitated
enough. As a general rule, the larger the
more free from scum. Running brook" have
purer water than ponds, because in running
the water mingles with the atmosphere—the
grand purifier of all things.
Motion, in streams of wnter, birngs all the
foul or rilev matter in contact with the other
matter on the bank that has as affinity for it,
so that a long brook may run itself pure
though it may have been affected with filthy
matter near its source.
Agitation of the pork barrel daily will have
the effect of preventing the accumulation of
scum on the surface ; but if this is not conve
nient, the white surface may be skimmed off
as soon as it rises.
It is quite important to every family to
have good salt pork. It is the very cheapest
meat that we can procure, and for cooking
vegetables it is the best that is used. It
needs no butter to enrich it, but it enriches ali
with which it comes in contact. Farmers
should not fail to have a supply of pork in the
cellar. Then, if the butcher forgets to eotne,
there wilt be something for dinner.— Exchange.
SAVE THE SOOT.—This, thongh generally
thrown into the streets and wasted is one
of the best manures. It is extensively nied in
England, and when only 15 or 20 bushels are
applied to the acre, it induces tha most luxuri
ant crops of wheat, and other grains. It con
tains. iti small compass, almost all the ingredi
ents of the coal or wood used for fuel. It al
so contains several salts of ammonian, magne
sia, lime and muriatic acid. Its components
are toe natural food or stimnlents of plants,
and it can nsed to great advantage as a con
centrated fertilizer, to stimulate germinating
seed in the drill It is not only sown broad
cast with the grain, but it is applied to the
root crops with the best results. Potatoes
and carrots, especially, are benefited !>y it -
Six quarts of sootto a hogshead of water
make an excellent liquid manure for the gar
den. Iteau be applied with safety to all gar
den crops, and will pnv for saving. In put
ting the stoves, furnaces and fire places in or
der for Winter, bear it in mind, that soot is
valuable, and will be wanted for Spring use.
One, two, three or more barrets can be saved
easily in most families, especially where wood
is burned.
At a recent celebration of West India
Emancipation, at Pittsburgh, Pa., a eolored
orator let slip the following :—"• When a na

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 fee! 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 purgativ. This isalike true of Colds,
Feverish symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
all tend to become or produee the deep seated and for
midable distempers which load the hearses all over the
land. Hence a reliably family physic is of the first im
portance to the public health, and this Pill lias 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
hrtherto 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.
Ainoug the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
favor of these i'ills, we may mention :
J>oet. 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
estates.
ROBERT ('. WINTIIROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives.
ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England.
+JOHN B. HTZPATUICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston;
also
i>r. .1 R. CHILTON. Practical Chemist of New York
City, endorsed by
lion. W. L M VItCY, Secretary of state.
WM. B. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
S. KELANDA 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.
These Pills, 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 purity, and combin
ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
This system of composition fur 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 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 empioved 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, aud 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 could not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, 1 have suppled the ac
curate Pormulse by which both my Pectoral and Pills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States arm British American Provinces. If however there
should he 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 it 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 effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
- same thing of my Pills, and even mere confidently, and
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 stomach, bow
els, liver, sod other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such tie range incuts as'are the first origin of
disease.

As its name imports, this Ointment Is of Sw iss Origin,
and is the most remarkable Ointment, for curing old Sores
and Bad Legs ever known. Its curing properties seem
to Iw perfectly irresistible.
#r The receipt for making this rare medieine, was ob
tained from Janus Rondon, an old Swiss tar-maker in
North Carolina, who brought it with him from Switzer
land.
AS A FAMILY SALVE,
it has no equal, both in its powers for doing good, and
its extreme neatness as a
CLEAN. SWEET, PURE. PLEASANT OINTMENT,
healing without the least injury everything to which it
is applied.
MOTHERS USE IT
for their Caked, Broken and Inflamed Breasts with 'harm
ing success. Thousands of Mothers are this day blessing
the hour in which they first applied the GOOD SWISS
SALVE.
SALT HHEUM
and SCROFULOUS SORES and Swellings it rapidly
