Rroom Corn.
The cultivation oi Lruom cum, when
properly conducted, is very profitable to
the farmer, ami the brush usual finds a
;uiek market. 'J'liorc arc Fovcral varie
ties of this plant, but tho bct known des-i-c-ri
jition;i arc the evergreen, tho (vnniion
and tho ilwarl" corn. Tho evergreen
j:ives tho p'eute;-t yield, but it ripens
N.iiiu'.what. later than tho coininmi and tho
dwarf varieties. The cultivation of
broom corn is similar in n;o:-t respects to
v..v,ya but it requires more attention than
the latter to keep it free from weeds, and
prevent its going to wane.
The soil bent suited to broom corn is
rich, mellow bottom lands; but they
hhould bo free from standing water. The
Loser and dryer tho earth, the better
will be the crop. Heavy clay lands are
unstiited to its growth. About four
(uarts of seed, carefully drilled in. is
"luriicieiit to sow an acre of land. The
aggregate production per acre is from
live hundred to one thousand pounds of
line brush, but this depends entirely on
the fertility of the soil, and the variety of
corn grown.
The prices paid for brush take a very
wide range, varying from $30 to $-."U
per ton, according to the quality of tho
plant, and the condition of tho market
at the time of pale. The earliest varie
ties of corn are harvested about the last
of August, while tho other kinds are a
week or fortnight later. Tho usual plan
is to conmicuce cutting the stalks when
the seeds are still soft; but when cut too
green, tho stalks shrivel, and are unfit
for market. If cut too ripe, the brush is
brittle, and turns yellow.
The evergreen corn may be cut, in
sonic cases, even alter the seeds have ar
rived at perfection, with injury to the
brush. The seed is removed by a ma
chine made for tho purpose or it is scra
ped oil' by hand.
After the corn is cut, it must not be
allowed to remain in the field on a wet
day, as the rain causes it to heat and mil
dew. AVhcn damaged and discolored, it
must be sold at a loss, and is employed
in making the very poorest kinds of
brooms. Green brush commands the
best price in market, but when baled too
green, it is liable to heat, and spoils very
rapidly.
To be properly cured, broom corn
should be dryed in buildings having ap
propriate racks, placed sufficiently far
apart to admit a good circulation of air
to penetrate the brush. When dry and
ready for market, the brush will sell
much quicker to bo handsomely baled.
About two hundred to two hundred and
fifty pounds of brush is allowed to a
bale.
With a view to large profits, this plaut
should be cultivated on un extensive
scale, and suitable conveniences had for
drying baling, and even storing, as the
requirements of tho business make neces
sary. lirooiu corn is raised, in immense quan
tities on the Mohawk flats, the Western
bottom and prairie land, and also on the
alluvial deposits bordering swift running
streams.
Domestic Recipes.
To obtain a Good Night's Sleep
Sponge the entire length of the spine in
hot water for ten or fifteen minutes ; this
will reduce the circulation, quiet the
nervous system, and induce sleep better
than any drug.
Sweet Oil for Poisons. A plain farmer
says: It is now twenty year since I
learned that sweet oil would euro the
bite of a rattlesnake, - not knowing that
it would cure any other kind of poison
both on men or beast. I think no farmer
should bo without a bottle of it in the
house. The patient must take a spoon
ful of it internally, and batho tho wound
for a cure. To cure a horse it requires
eight times as much as it does for a man.
Here let nio speak of ono of the most ex
treme cases of snake bites in this neigh
borhood eleven years ago this summer
where the case hud been thirty days
standing, and the patient was given up
by his physicians I heard of it and car
ried the oil, and gave one spoonful, which
effected a cure. It is nu antidote for
arsenic and strichuiue. It will cure
bloat in cattle caused by eating too freely
of fresh clover. It will euro bites of j
bees, spiders or other insects, and will
euro persons who have been poisoned
by a low running vino in tho meadows,
called ivy.
J'rctjuctit Uocinjr.
Tho Maine Fanner concludes an arti
cle on hoeing with tho following para
graph :
Frequent hoeing-!, even during the dry
cst seasons, contribute to the benefit of
the crop. 1'y the loosening of the soil
tho air, and especially ni;Jit air, charged
with moisture even in times of severe
drouth, obtains ready access to the roots
of plants, and becomes condensed in the
soil. Very often during a hard summer
drouth we have seen torn leaves and
other vegetation roll v.p during the day
time, but come cut again at night in con
sequence of the i'allin;; of the dew. or the
prevalence I' moist air. Where the
ground is not stirred it. bccoii.es crusted
over or " baked,' as it is called, and
hence lho moisture from below does not
find its way up through to meet the con
densed moist air of night. J'ut where
ground is frequently hoed tho reverse is
the case, hence the benefit of repeated
hoeings during the summer months.
Upon this point one of our late English
journals mentioned the fact that during
the extremely dry season of lS'Jl, a gen
tleman was in the habit of hoeing, with
his own hand, three drills of turnips,
daily. The result was that the three
drills thus hoed were a good crop, while
the yield upon tho remainder of the geld
hoed less frequently, came almost to noth-

THE KIDNEYS.
TBMIE Kidneys arc two In number, situntcd nt
JL the upper part of the loin, Durroundcd by
l'ut, nnd consisting of three parts, viz : tho An
terior, the Interior and the Exterior.
Tho Anterior utaorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which ecrvo as a deposit for
the urine and convey it to the Exterior. Tho
Exterior Is a conductor nlfo, terminating In a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided Into parts, viz. s the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
l ne upper cxpcis, tlie lower retains. Jinny
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 mutt bring Into
action the muscles, which are engaged In their
various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader mutt also be made nwnre, that
however slight may lie the attack, it is sure t
all'ect tlie bodily health and mental powers, as
our lletli and blood are supported from these
sources.
Goi t, cm Kiit:i matism. Pain occurring in
the loins arc indicative of the nbovc diseases.
They occur In persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
Tins Ghayi:l. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or Improper treatment of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, tho water is not ex
pelled from tho bladder, but allowed to remain j
it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It is
from this deposit that the stone is formed and
gravel ensues.
Dropsy is a collection of water In some part3
of tlie body, and bears dillcrent names, accord
ing to the parts nll'ectcd, viz. : when general
ly dill'uscd over the body, it is called Anasarca j
w hen of the abdomen, Ascites j when of the
chest, Hydrothorax.
Treatment. ITelnibold's highly conccntra
ed compound Extract Uuchu is decidedly one
of the best remedies for diseases ol the blad
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty affections. Under this
head we have nrranged Dysuriu, or dilliculty
and pain In passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges of writer ; Stran
gury, or stopping of water ; Hematuria, or
bloody urine. ; Gout nnd Rheumatism of the
kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
Increase In color, or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommend by the late Dr. I'hys
iek, in these all'ections.
This medicine increases the power of diges
tion, end excites the absorbents into healthy
exercise by which the watery or calcareous de
positions, nnd all unnatural enlargements, as
well ns pain nnd intlamation, are reduced, and
it is taken by men, women, and children. Di
rections for use and diet accompany.
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25, 1807. i
H. T. IIelmhold, Druggist :
Deak Snt I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, nnd kid
ney atl'cc'tions, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I liad used nil kinds of ad
vertised remedies, nud had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I do
spaircd of ever getting well, and determined t
use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of ths
ingredients. It was this that prompted me t
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of buchu, cubebs, and juniper
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con
sulting again with tho druggist, I concluded t
try it. I commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which tlmo I was confined to my room.
From the first bottle I was astonished and grat
ified at the beneficial effect, nud after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
liko writing you a full statement of my case - at
the time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded t
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value to you,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now ablo to report that a,cure is effect
ed after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months,,
and feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invlgorator of
the system, I do not mean to bo without it
wheucver occasion may require Its use In such
Directions.
