Agricultural §eprtmcnt. Manures—Their Increase and Preser vation. However much may have been said on this subject, it does not seem to have had the desired effect, when we see so many of those who are considered as oar best farmers neg lecting to take any steps toward promoting this end ; who, instead of devising means for increasfng itsa mount, even suffer a large part of that already obtained to be wasted. Now, I believe that most of those who permit this are entirely ignorant of the great injury tLey are doing themselves, and there may be a few who, though they have had their attention called to it, yet fail to adopt any means to remedy so great an evil. I will endeavor to point out a few of the most prominent sources of waste,aud the means by w liieh they may be obviated. To begin with the most important of all the mauures, which is that obtained from our stables and cow houses, and which is usually thrown out into the barn yards to remain there without any protection from the weather until, after it has been soaked by rain after raiu, it is carried out into the fields to restore the waste occasioned by the removal of preceding crops. Now, if this waste, after soaking through the manure and extracting from it a large amount of its usefulness, was carefully saved by being caught iu tanks, the loss would uol be as much felt ; but even this is not done,and as barns are generally built on the side of a hill when possible, the water which falls into their yard runs off almost immediately ; and when not so situated, drains are usually out from them to permit it to escape, and thus a quantity of the most fertile pari of the manure is lost. Now, this loss could easily be prevented,and with slight expense, by the erection of a shed under which the manure could be stowed, or, what would be better still, if a covered pit could be prepared in which it might be de posited, and any expense incurred iu this way would soon be repaid. Ammouia is also constantly escaping from the manure in the form of gas, aud as it is a substance which contains a largo amount ot nitrogen, which is especially beneficial tocrops, it would be well if ii were a Isosaved. Now.tbis can be accomplished by the application of sev eral substances to the manure, among the cheapest aud best of which is the sulphate of lime has a greater affinity for the ammonia than it lias lor the lime,and it therefore leaves the lime aud attaches ilaeif to the ammouia, which is a fixed salt. Ilence the frequent application to the ma nure, particularly that just carried from the stable, of a little of the plaster would greatly tend to prevent the escape of this gas. There is yet another point to which I would call attentiou, and that is the way by which we can increase our stock of manure ; aud though they are many, L will only speak of two of the most prominent: The first is by means of the compost heap, aud the second by the pig pen. If you w ill only give poor pigs the material, the quantity of manure they will make will be immense. Old straw and hay can be given th<m with advantage, but still better than these are dead leaves ; you may fill the pen half full of them, and they will soon be converted into the best of manure.— Cor. Ger viu ntoicn Telegraph. Use and Abuse of Implements. VJ ere we to assert that American farmers,as a general thing, are wasteful in many particu lars, we should be taken to task on all sides,for where shall we find a more prudent and eco nomical class of men than they ? Well, we are ready to admit their economical disposition ; but this is by no means a contradiction of what we have asserted in the previous sentence.— There is such a thing as false economy—"pen ny wise aud pound foolish" economy—"saving at the bung hole and wasting at the spile " economy ; and under this category we class the policy which so almost universally prevails in regard to the use aud abuse of agricultural im plements. One of the heaviest taxes to which the farm er is subjected is the purchase and repairing of agricultural implements; and that this tax is in many cases double aud treble what it should be is very evident. How can it be otherwise ? TV ere implements to be had for the asking, some farmers could uot manifest more indiffer ence in regard to their use, and their care of them when not in use. In very many eases, when a field is plowed, harrowed and rolled, the plow, the harrow and the roller find a rest ing place in the first convenient fence-corner, there to remain until next wauted, whether it be the next day or the next year. The dam aging effects of sun, wind and rain are never once thought of. The fact that such exposure injures both wood and iron work does uot alter the case. Some farmers bring their implements from the field, it is true, but only to subject them to the same qut-door exposure in the vi ciuity of the barn. It is uot very surprising that such miserable management makes heavy demauds upon the pocket, or that the bill for implements in such cases is double what it should be. There arc a few simple rules in regard to the care of implements, which in most cases can be readily and always properly observed. First: Every farm should be provided with a tool or implement honse of sufficient dimensions to accommodate every tool or implement on the premises. Second : It should be a fixed and unalterable requirement, that whenever a tool is doue with it should be put in its appropriate place in the tool-house. Third : Uefore put away.it should be carefully examined, to see whether any parts are broken or damaged,and jf so, the very first leisure moment should be appropriated to repairing it. Fourth: No tool should be put into the house in a dirtv condi tion. A very few minutes will be required to clean off the dirt, which will prevent the rust ing of the iron, as well as damage to the wood Fifth : All the polished parts of an implement as the shure, mould board and coulter of the plow, and the blades of axes, mattocks, mow ing machines, Ac , should be oiled, to prevent rnsting. They will then be ready for use at any moment. Sixth : Every wooden part of an implement should be painted at least once a year, aud such as are required for out-door use, as plows, harrows, &c. f twice, llainv days can be appropriated to this purpose. One dollar's worth of crushes and paint, properly applied, will save S2O worth of damages. Mineral paint, such as Hunter's Irou Faint,answers ad mirably, because it has more body than white or red lead,and is far cheaper and more durable It not only preserves the wood from decay,but from cracking, aud cosequeutly easy break age.

It is a con centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances ol still greater alterative power a- to afford an effective antidote lor the dis, ases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove ot immense service to this large class ol our afflicted fel low-citizens. How completely this eompouud will do it lias been proven by experiment on many of the worst caes to be found ot the following complaints : SCROFI'I. A AM) ScKoFiT.ors COMIT.AINTS, EBCPTTONS AND ERI TTIVE DISKASKS, LT.C HKS, PIMPI.ES, BLOTCH KS, TI'NOBS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND .SY PHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,NFX KAI.UIA 011T11; DOCLOCBEIX, DEUIEITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INUIOESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole clasit of complaints arising troin IMPCRJTY or THE BLOOD. This compound will be fonml a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu mors wnieh fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion ol thorn many rankling disor ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance ot eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impuiities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is loul, aud your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the Mood healthy, and all is well ; hut with this pabulum of life disordered, there can tie no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the giea machinery of lile is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves mu, li, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. Rut the world has been egre gious!}- deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to he concentrated extracts of it, contain hut little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anything else. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla lor one uollur. Most of these have been frauds upon the sjck, lor they not only contain little, if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, hitter and painful disappointment has lollowcd the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly de spised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this com poll n't Ssrsaparilla, and in tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name Iroin the load of obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judi ciously taken according to directions on the le'ttlc. Prepare Iby Dr. J.
