InriroveracnU of Worn-out Lands with
Grass nnd (lover.
A correspondent of tho New York
Time.; writes to thai paper ns follows :
I will tell my experience on a poor farm
in llhodo Island of 150 acres, and too
poor to keep a yoke of oxen, one cow and
one horse in good condition. This farm
was worth at that time about $4,000 or
$5,000. Lut a new man came along who
thought ho could raiso grass where none
grew beorc. lie tried, with perfect sue
cess every time ; so that in a few years ho
kept about fifty head of cattle, mostly
cows ou the place, and sold annually as
many tons or hay.
The modi's oe.rcnull was thus :
1. Plow the land.
2. Harrow.
.3. Spread 200 bushels ashes per acre
4. Harrow.
5. Sow millet and clover.
6. Harrow.
7. Roll.
8. Cut half ion of millet to the acre
in six weeks from sowing time, enough
to pay expenses first year.
He then had a good stand of clover,
which was cut twice the two years. The
next year he plowed under tho clover
harrowed, applied fifty bushels ashes to
the acre, harrowed it in, again sowed
millet and clover, harrowed and gave it
n good rolling. In six weeks ho had a
good growth of millet, say two tons per
acre, and another good stand or clover.
The next year he cut two crops of
clover again. 1 he next year lie turned
under tho clover, applied his barn-yard
compost of muck and cow manure which
he had been four years preparing, and
raised eighty bushels shelled corn per
acre, on land that, , before he com
menced was called barren, and land that
tho neighbors said, when ho was apply
ing the ashes, was not worth , ashes and
all, after it was mixed, what the ashes
cost.
Now there aro a great many inquiries
about how to raise clover. This man
never failed ; he never thought of it, and
never dreamed of it, and never knew any
failure. He had a system in his head
(for he did not get it from books') which
ho carried out like " clock work," and his
larni was beautiful to look at. Ho said
the land was not fit for manure, so ho
took four years to get it ready.
Ho thought ashes would produce millet
aud clover, and tho millet would protect
the young clover irom the scorching sun
until it would need no protection.
The harrowing and rolling were indis
pensable. Ho commenced in May, and sowed
millet and clover every day as fast as tho
land was ready, for two or three months,
and knew no such word as fail.
Treatment of Jlc'fcrs.
We neglect our heifers. As well
might wo neglect our cows, as the treat
ment of the heifer tells on the cow.
Shelter is one of the first things of im
portance to a calf. It is not accustomed
to storms, and its limbs, which arc tender,
will suffer if it is not sheltered.
Tho befct feed aside from tender grass,
is bran, oat meal and milk. Tho feed
should bo regular onco or twico a day,
and in small quantities, for it will not do
to fatten or pamper a calf; this must bo
avoided.
The first year is'tha critical time; that
passed successfully, there is littlo diffi
culty afterwards. flint H-.rahl.
To Destroy Bed-bugs.
A lady who has tried it, sends this
method oi' exterminating the repulsive
bod-bug: " If any of your readers need
a sure remedy for bed-bugs they can have
mine, and e'eaneo their houso of this
troublesome vermin without expense.
They have only to wash with salt water,
filling tho cracks where they frequent
with salt, nnd you may look iu vain for
them. Salt seems inimical to bed-bugs,
and they will not trail through it. It is
preferable to all ointments, and the biiyer
requires no ceititioate to its genuine
ness .
Qiilnoo Urowin-j.
An Ohio quinco grower has been very
successful for two years past with his
fruit. His treatment of the treo is very
simple. He spados the ground of his or
chard, every spring, and scatters a peck
of coal ashes around each tree. Ho finds
salt tho best manure for tho 'quinco, and
applies about one quart to tho ground
under each tree after the soil has been
spaded, and another quart when the
quinces are about half grown. Last year
he sold three hundred bushels of quinces
from his orchards oi' thvee-fou.'ths of an
acre.
-
Lime.
A writer in the .Journal of tho Royal
Agricultural Society, describing the per
manence of the action of lime, says that
ho knows a piece of ground containing
1GG acres, which formerly knew nothing
but heath. A good dressing of linio was
applied on the surface of the sward which
has nearly doubled its value. This was
done several years ago, and totally eradi
cated tho heath. The lime to this day
appears in full condition, as its effects
usually testify, from the richness and
sweetness of the herbage, tho texture of
which has been entirely changed.

nnd chulkv concretions.
The Gravel. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of tho 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 tills deposit thut tho stone Is formed and
gravel ensues.
Duopsy Is a collection of water in sonic parts
of the body, and bears different names, accord

II. T. Helmbold, DruggUt :
Dear Sir I liave been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bludder, and kid
ney affections, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, nnd been under
tho treatment of tho most eminent Phyglflans,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Buchn.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and, some quite Injurious ( in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was tills that prompted mo to
use your remedy. As you advertised thut it
was composed of hucliu, cubebs, and Juniper
berries, it occurred to mo and my physician ns
an excellent combination, nnd, with his advice,
niter an examination of the article, and con
sulting again with tho druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced Its use about eight months
ago, nt which time I was conllncd to my room.
From tho ilrst bottle I was astonished and grat
ified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, wus able to walk out. I felt much
