ITe ntte communication from all personswhoare

department.
RctItuI of Peach Trees.
A discovery of no small moment in tlio
interest of ariculturo 1ms been miule by
Dr. George B. Wood, and communicated
by him to tho American Philosophical
Society, of which he is President. Peach
trees iu this vicinity, after producing a
few crops, not only eeaso bearing, but
perish themselves in u short time; whereas
their natural life is fifty or sixty years, or
more. Tho cause of the defective power
of growth is believed by Dr. Wood to be
owing to a deficiency of potash in the soil
and ho asserts that if this alkali be sup
plied to the tree so that'it shall reach tho
small roots and be absorbed, the fruit
bearing power is restored, and tho tree
itself, if prematurely perishing, is revived.
Believing with most persons that the
cause of the decay lay iu worms at the
root of the peach tree, he put in operation
n plan which he hud sceu his father per
form more than fifty years before, viz: of
digging around the base of the stem a
hole four or five inches deep, straping
away all the worms that could be found
at the junction of tho stem and roots,
and filling the hollows thus made with
fresh wood ashes from the fire, which, of
course, retained all their potash. This
was done in the autumn of 18G3 ; and
with a result, in tho following spring, at
which he was himself astonished. The
trees appeared to have been restored to
all their early freshness and vigor; they
put forth bright green leaves, blossomed
copiously, and bore a crop of fruit such
as they had never borne before, many of
the branches breaking down under the
load of tho peaches. Dr. Wood in re
flecting on these results, and noticing that
several of the peach trees treated had no
worms, came to the conclusion that wo
must look for an explanation to some oth
cause than tho destruction of a few
worms, and this cause he believes to be
the ashes, the potash of which being dis
solved by the rains, had descended along
the roots to the rootlets, audj presented
to them tho very food for want of which
they were dying.
Decaying apple trees bearing stinted
and inedible fruit have been revived by a
similar process, and with tho like results.
All of Dr. Wood's orchards give promise
of an abundant supply of fruit this
season.
Bait a Remedy for Fever and A sue
A correspondent of the Baltimoro
American says:
During a recent trip through several
of the western states I met a gentlemen
who had used salt externally for years as
a preventive, with entire satisfaction. A
physiciau from Pittsburg told him to
wear it in his shoes, and he had his
stockings prepared by dipping the bottoms
in a strong brine and letting them dry.
For ten years he escaped the chills, but
tiring of tho experiment, and believing
ho was indulging in a mere fancy, ho dis
continued the use of salt, but ho contract
ed tho disease again, and it continued
with him until he resumed tho practice
of the former ten years. He also stated
that in ono ague district through which
he traveled he met with several members
of a firm who had escaped the disease,
and on inquiry ho learned that they had
been in the habit of tasting salt as they
dealt it out to their customers.'
Pateut Horse Shoe.
Samuel Stone, of North Manchester,
Connecticut, has patented a horse shoo
which promises to become widely useful.
Tho shoes are made plain and of size to
fit any horse. Tho calks are four in
number, two for tho too, and ono for each
heel end of the shoo. They aro made
separate from the shoo, and each has a
shank which screws into a holo in the
shoo. The shape is conical with a square
baso to fit an ordinary wrench, and each
calk has a steel core. The theory is that
tho soft iron will wear away leaving the
calk always sharp, and when one set is
worn out, it i only necessary to screw in
another. Thus the shoe need be re
moved only when the growth of tho foot
makes it necessary. The invention is
worth a trial, and tho experiments thus
fur made are said to be highly satisfac
tory to tho patentees.
Cutting: up Corn.
Tho best implements wo ever used for
cutting up corn was a common farm hoo,
ground sharp, and the haudlo shortened
to about two feet. A single clip to n
hill is oil that is required, severing tho
stocks close to tho ground, which is rap
idly dono. A center row between four is
selected for n lino of shocks, and corn
from the two on each sido carried to
selected hills in tho center, and the rest
cut with tho other four. This gives five
rows to a line of shocks, but tho number
can be extended as may bo desired.
Shocking about a hill gives steadiness to
the mass, keeping it upright till tho time
of husking. American Farmer.

THE KIDNEYS.
rpnE Kidney are two In number, situated at
L the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of threo parts, viz : the An
terior, the Interior and tho Exterior.
The Anterior absorbs. Interior consictB of
tissues or veins, which servo us a deposit for
tho urino and convey It to the Exterior. The
Exterior Is a conductor also, terminating in a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The U reters
are connected with the bladder.
Tho bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided Into parts, vir.. i the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
The upper expels, tho lower retains. Many
have a desire to urinate without tho ability
others urinate without tho ability to retuiu.
This frequently occurs In chlldrcu.
To cure these affections, we mutt bring int
action the muscles, which are engaged In their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gruvel
or Dropsy may ensue.
' Tho reader must also bo made aware, that
however slight mny be the attack, it is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers, as
onr flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
Gout, on Ruevmatism. Puin occurring in
tho loins aro Indicative of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
The GnAVEL. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or Improper treatment of tho kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain j
It becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It is
from this deposit thnt the stone 1b formed and
gravel ensues.
Dropst is a collection of water in some part
of the body, and bears dillercut names, accord

ly ditfuscd over tho body, It is called Anasarca j
when of the abdomen, Ascites ; when of the
chest, Hydrothorax.

of the best remedies for diseases ol the blad

This medicine increases tho power of diges

Philadelphia, Ta., Feb. 25, 1807.
n. T. Helmhold, Druggltt :
Dear Sir I have been a BufTercr, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney atlcctions, 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
ndveitised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Buchn.
I did this because I hud used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, nnd had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hcreufter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was this that prompted mo to
nse your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of buchu, cubebs, und juniper
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as
tin excellent combination, and, wit h his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced Its use about eight months
ago, at which time I was confined to my room.
From the llrt-t bottle I was astonished and grat
ified at the beneficial effect, and niter using it
three weeks, wus able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a lull statement of my case at
the time, but thought my improvement might
only bo temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and seo If it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value td'you,
nnd more satisfactory to me.
I um now able to report that a cure Is effect
ed after using the remedy for live months.
I have not used any now for three mouths,
und feel as well iu ull respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic nnd invigorntor of
the system, I do not mean to be without It
whenever occasion may requiro Its use in such
affections.
