'' "What I Know About Farming.
V .noTTi.
Mr. Editor What I know nbnut farm
ing has refcreuce to Small Fanners, and
may not always be practical to large fann
ers. I know that whatever is worth doing
on a farm at all, is worth doing right.
I know that soiling cattle, instead of
pasturing them, both makes and naves.
It saves inside fences ; it saves land; it
saves young fruit trees; find it makes
manure.
I know that every good farmer is as
saving of manure as he is of his money,
and docs not believe that letting it lay
out in the weather makes it rot better
4han when it is covered.
I know that a barn and a barn-yard
should both be covered under one roof.
I know that farmers can learn much to
their advantage by reading agricultural
books and papers.
I know that a great many farmers
would profit by raising more fruit and
less acres of crain.
I know that farming rich land will
make a rich farmer, and farming poor
land will make a farmer poor.
I know that corn is the most certain
and profitable crop a farmer can raise.
I know that the best farm lands may
be made much better, and that all farms
will sometime be made as rich us our
Hardens now are.
I know that farmers are only beginning
to learn to farm.
A Small Farmer.
V. S. Smedley, Leonville, Pa., writes
the l'armers Club: " hast winter we sav
ed our coal-ashes, sifting them and keep
ing then) dry till spring, which we mixed
with about hull their bulk ot ground
plaster, and when the corn was well
through the ground set a boy to putting
the mixture on the hills, at the rate of
about a half-handfull to each hill, going
over about half the field of twelve acres;
and thought nothing more of it until har
rowing time, when I noticed, in crossing
the field, a very distinct difference in the
appearance of the corn that where the
ashes and plaster had been applied beinsj
very dark and healthy, the other part pale
and feeble. However, the whole field
made a very fair crop for a dry season ;
but I am satisfied that that part where
the plaster and ashes were applied, made
fifty bushels more shelled corn than where
there was none and the ashes were coal
ashes. Plaster alone had never acted so
well for us."
COMMUNICATED.
Hog Cholera.
A subscriber in Lancaster count', who
says ho has tried it, gives the following as
u sure preventative against hog cholera :
" I have been accustomed for several
years, to take white oryellow pine roots
or tops, when wilted, and make a strong
decoction, by pouring hot water on them
and then mixing in that coi n-meal. This
I feed to my hogs three times a week
and though my neighbors have lost hogs
all around me, I have never lost one, nor
lias another neighbor, who tried the same
remedy. If there is no appearance of
disease in the vicinity, I still give it to
my hogs once a week, and they like it.
It is worth trying as it can do no harm
even if no good is done.
BSyTho Canada Farmer says that
the attacks of the apple-tree borer may
be prevented by washing the whole trunk
of the tree up to and including the forks
i . 1 1 1 v'
ot tne main urancnes, wiut, son soup, oi
a solution of potash. The alkali kills the
eggs or young grubs as soon as hatched
Insects are endowed with wonderful in
btiucts, and it is very doubtful whether
the parent beetle ever deposits eggs on a
iree man is covereu wuu siruuir uiik.uu.
Death to Hats. The following means
are recommended to housekeepers as a
cheap and effectual remedy for the rid
dance of rals: " Take common cork and
slice it as thin as a wafer, and fry it in
the gravy of meat, but be careful not to
burn it, and place it where it may be eat
en, and they will soon disappear. The
cork on being swallowed, swells, and thus
destroys them.
Signaling at Sea.
An old naviuator, writing for the LiU'e
Corporal, tells us something of the way
ships speak to each other at sea. To the
andsnnm, he says, who is in every day
titercour.se witu Ins leiiow-nian, it win
ppear strange that sailors, who are some
times for months confined on board ship
at sea, can communicate with passing
ships on the lonelv waste of waters, both
asking and answering questions, as well
as if speaking to them byword ot mouth.
This is done by means of flags; and when
the colors and numbers of the different
flags are understood, it is a very amusing
and instructive recreation. The flags are
numbered from one (1) to the cipher 0
nothing. For instance, No 1 is a square
white flag with a small blue square in the
centre. No. 2 is blue, white, and blue,
longitudinally. No. 3 is a square flag. one
half white and the other half red. No. 4
is a swallow-tailed flag, blue ground, with
a white cross in the middle; and so on.
Four of these flairs in line are hoisted-
say 4, 9, 1,0 which on referring to the
book of signals, mean : hat ship is
that 'I" The ship you are asking may be
seven or eight miles off; but with a good
spy-glass, the flags are easily distin
guished. She answers by hoisting 4, b, 1,
2 with a small pennant above. Uu relcr-
ring to the book, you find her name ti
be " America, lou then hoist .., i), U, -
" From what port, and where bound to,
She answered with four flags above
What is your longitude i answered in
degrees and miles, with a small flag be
tween the degrees and miles; and so on
Almost any question can be asked and
answered, as : Have you had bad wea
ther ! Can you spare me any provisions t
My crew are sick. 1 have fever on board
Heave to, and I will sendaboaton board
And sonic hundreds of other questions
and answers can he mane uy mereiy
transposing the flags. And while sailin
in company with a ship of the same
speed, it relieves the tedious monotony
of a long passage to be expert in the
signals, the signal-books being transht
ted into all the different languages ot
all niaratime nations the numbers and
colors of the flags, of course, remaining
the same.

THE KIDNEYS.
IIIE Kidneys arc two In number, ditunted at
the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz i the An
terior, the Interior and the Exterior.
The Anterior ubeorbs. Interior consists of
ssues or veins, which fcrve ns a deposit for
be urine nnd convey It to the Exterior. Tho
Exterior Is u conductor also, terminating In a
single tube, and railed lite Untcr. The Ureters
are connected with the bladder.
The bladder Is compofed of various cover
ings or tlesucs, divided into partR, via. i th
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
tic upper expels, the lower retains. Many
have a desire to urinate without the ability;
others urinate without the ability to retain.
this frequently occurs In children.
To cure these affections, we muft bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be mnrte nwarc, that
however slight niny be the attack, It is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers, as
our flesh and blood are supported from tbcee
sources.
Govt, ok Riif.vmatism. Pain occurring In
the loins are Indicative of the above discuses.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
The Guavfl. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water Is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ;
t becomes feverish, nnd sediment lornis. It is
from this deposit that the etone is formed and
gravel ensues.
DitorsY is a collection of water in sonic parti,
of the body, and liciirs dilleicnt names, accord
ing to the pints a ilected, viz.: when general
ly ditluscd over the body, it 1b called Anasarca ;
when of tire abdomen, Ascites; when ot thti
chest, llydrotliorax.
Tueatmf.nt. Ilcltiibnld's highly eoncentra
cd compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one
of the best ri medics for diseases oi the Wud
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical . swellings,
rheumatism and gouty a flec tions. Under thih
head we have arranged Dysuria, or ditlicultv
nnd pain in passing water, scanty cecretion, o
small and frequent discharges of water ; Etran
gury, or stopping of water; Hematuria, o
bloody urine : Gout ana Klienmulism oi vni
kidneys, without any change in quantity, bu
increase in color, or dark water. It, was nl
ways highly recommend by the lute Dr. I'hys
Ick, hi these alicctlous.
This medicine increases the power of dices
tion, end excites the absorbents Into heulth

II. T. IIelmbold, Druggltt :
Df.au Sin I have been a sufferer, forupwnr
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, und ki
nev alfections, during which time I have usi
various medicinal preparations, and becuundc
the treatment, ol the most eminent Physician
experiencing but little relict.
Having seen your preparations extensive!
ndvcitiscd, I consulted with my family phyt
clan in regard to using your Lxtnx t liuchti.
I did this because I had used all kinds of a
vertiscd remedies, nud had found them wort
less, nnd, some quite injurious ; in fact, I 6
spuired of cvergitting well, und determined t
use no remedies licrcnltcr unless 1 knew ot ti
ingredients. It was this that promi ted me
use your remedy. As you advertised that
was composed of buchu, cubebs, nnd junip
berries, it occurred to me and my physician i
an excellent combination, nnd, with bisndvh
after an examination of the article, and co
suiting again with the druggist, 1 concluded
try It. I commenced Its use about eight mont
ago, ut which time I was confined to my rooi
From the hrrt bottle 1 was astonished and gn
illed at the benclicial ell'eet, and alter using
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt mu
like writing you a lull statement of my case
the time, but thought my improvement mie.1
only be temporary, nnd therefore concluded
defer nnd see if it would elici t a perfect cu
knowing then it would be of more value to yi
and more satisfactory to mo.
I am now nble to report that a cure Is effc
ed after using the remedy for live months.
I have not used any now for three montll
and feel ns well in all respects ns I ever did.
Your liuehu being devoid of nny unplea:
taste and odor, a nice tonic and Invigorntor
the system, I do not mean to be without
whenever occasion may require its use iu si
utl'cctious.
