Bone Meal for Poultry. Tho following is nn extract from the Tcport of tbo poultry committee of the Bristol (Mass.) county fair : " Last winter I procured two barrels of bono, intending to use it lor Irish pota toes and otber garden crops. My wife appropriated somo of it for her roses iu the garden, by simply strewing it on the urface of tho ground around the bush es. Tho fowls liavo free access to the garden, und wcro discovered eating the meal very eagerly. Thinking it might bo of service to them, we gavo them some for several weeks, and I assuro you it was but a short time beforo the eggs began to como in, in such numbers as we had never known beforo. If a nest was broken up to prevent a hen from setting, it was but a few days till sho was laying again, and thus it has continued to tho present time. One hen has taken possession of a barrel that has some bone meal in it, and is lay ing in the moid. Whether she will lay tho barrel full or not, time will show. My wife thinks that care and bone meal are great institutions for her poultry yard, and very extraordinary in their ef fect, but as tho bcu bus got an unusual amount of cackling to do, fears it may bririjr on bronchitis. Tho manuring of hens to make them lay, we think is orig inal, but wo have no idea of taking out a patent for it, and hence leave the dis covery open to the use of all who may choose to try it." To TrcserTe Eggs. There are several ways to preserve eggs but they must in all cases bo prepared fresh or new laid, otherwise thoy will not keep, no matter how they are fixed. The principle of preserving is to keep them fresh, cool, and in the dark. To preserve with mutton l'at, melt the suet, dip them in it twice do not have the suet too hot and follow the above directions. To preserve with mucilage, dissolve the gum arabio iu water to an ordinary thin paste, cool them, or dip them in it twice. When dry, which is in a few minutes, lay them away in charcoal dust, or bran, or dry sawdust ; put the box in a cool, dry closet or eellar, small end upward. To preserve with lime, take ten quarts of water, add two pounds of salt and two ounces of saltpetre; boil togcthcrjfor twen ty minutes; when nearly cold, add eight ounces of iuiek lime ; let it stand three days, stirring it every day ; place the small end downward in layers in ajar; when filled pour in tho mixture. They will keep for months. Tho water should be over them two inches. Snlt for Swine. Swino are such greedy feeders that not a few farmers pay very littlo attention to their feeding. Tho swill-barrel is very little better than a sink, und tho poor hogs are expeeted to eat any thing and every thing which is refused by tho oth er animals, human and brute alike. This short sighted treatment, however, works its own euro, or punishment rather, for swine thus treated make poor pork, and often die before killing time. Others who are particular about feeding their pigs forget to supply them with salt, as they do other animals. They require to be salted, however, just as much as cat tle, horses, or sheep, und suffer as much when neglected as uny of these animals. If the food bo not regularly salted, there should bo a trough or box in every sly, in which salt may bo deposited regularly for the use of tho animals. Salting the food judiciously would bo much tho best way. A Secret Told. The long celebrated "white Diamond Cement" is composed of Itussiu Isinglass 8 ounces, soft water 1 pint. White Car bonate of Lead. '1 ounces, and Absolute Alcohol 5 fluid ounces. This forms tho strongest known cement, ami is used by jeweler. in setting diamonds, which gives it its namo. For cementing glass, porcelain, wood, iron, or any other solid material it is very useful, und us it will keep good for years, will savo many times its cost in any family. The ingredients for making this useful article may bo bad at any drug-store. Jta)T Boiled gems can be be ninde by taking old funhion, hard wheat meal Cor Graham flour) dumplings of a good size, put into boiling soft wuter und cook from twenty minutes lo half an hour. Thoy aro delicious, and must be eaten while hot with fruit and molasses, etc. Will bear boil ing up again once or twice. They prove very light. VaT Onions uro often injured by keep, iiig them iu too warm a place. It u the alternato freezings and thawings that de stroy them ; und if placed iu a positiou whero they will remain frozen ull winter, and theu thawed out slowly and in a durk place, no considerable injury would result from this apparent harsh treatment.

The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or Tclns, which servo as a deposit for tho nrlno and convey it to the Exterior. The Exterior Is a conductor nlfo, terminating In a single tube, and called the Ureter. TheUrete arc connected w 1th the bladder. Tho bladder Is composed of various cover ings or tissues, divided into rmrts, viz. I the Upper, the Lower, tho Nervous, and tho Mucous. The upper expels, tho lower retains. Many have a desire to urlnnto without tho ability"; others urinate without tho nblllty to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these nirectlons, wo must bring Into action the muscles, which aro engaged in their various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must nleo bo made nwnrc, that however slight may be the attack, it is sure ta aflcct the bodily health nnd mental powers, as onr flesh nnd blood nro supported from these sources. Gout, ok Rnm-MATisM. Pain occurring In the loins are indicative of the abovo diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalkv concretions. Dear Sin I have been a sullcrer, for upward of twenty years, w ith gravel, bladder, and kid ney nfl'ections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, nnd been under the treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ndvertised, I consulted with my family physi cian In regard to using your Extract Buehu. I did tliis because I hud 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 ta uso no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted mo to uso your remedy. As you ndvertised that it was composed of buehu, cubebs, nnd juniper berries, it occurred to mo und my physiclun as an excellent combination, nnd, with his advice, after un examination of the article, nnd con sulting again with tho druggist, I concluded to try It. I commenced its use ubout eight months ago, nt which time I wus conllned to my room. From tho first bnttlo I was astonished and grat ified at the beneficial e fleet, and alter using it thrco weeks, was able to walk nut. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at tho time, but thought my Improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing theu lt would bo of more vuluetoyou, and moro satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effect ed after using tho remedy for fire months. I have not used any now for thrco months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nico tonic and invigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its uso In such affections. m. Mccormick. Should any doubt Mr. MeCormick's state ment, bo refers to the following gentlemen : Tim Gravel. Tho 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 ; It becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It la from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel ensues. Dropsy Is a collection of water In somo parts of tho body, and bears dlll'erent names, accord ing to tho parts affected, viss. : when general ly diffused over tho body, It Is called Anasarca j when of the abdomen, Ascites ; when of the chest, Hydrothornx. Treatment. Hclmbold's highly conccntru cd compound Extract Buehu is decidedly one of tho best remedies for discuses ol tho blad der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gouty affections. Under thia head we have arranged Dysurla, or difficulty and pain In passing water, Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges of wntcr Stran gury, or stopping of water j Hematuria, or bloody urine ; Gout and Khcumutism of the kidneys, without any change iu quantity, but increase In color, or durk wuter. It was al wnys highly recommend by tho lute Dr. Phys ical, in these affeclious. This medicine increases tho power of diges tion, end excites tho absorbents Into healthy exercise by which tho wutery or calcareous de positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well ns pain and lufiamallon, nro reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children.
