Cultivation of Indigo. The cultivation and manufacture of indi go is a great Industry in Bongal, butof late years no little inconvenience has been ex perienced from tUo disaffection of the "ryott," or native peasantry. There are frequent disputes about the terms of the agreement between these laborers and the capitalists who advance the money for sow ing and harvesting the crop. The manufacture of the mahai, as it is called by the natives, commences about the first week in July. At this season the indigo plant is cut and carted to the factory. The leaves and stalks of the plant are steeped in vats from twelve to fifteen hours, the time which is calculated to be sufficient to extract its properties. The water is next let oil' into a lower or " beat ing vat," and the mass is agitated until the pulp begins to granulate. The flakes are then loft to settle, whon the water is grad ually drawn off. The indigo settled at the bottom of the vat is taken to the "curing house," whence it is poured on to what is called the " table," where it is thoroughly strained ; subsequently it is placed in presses of about six feet square, and forced into a compact mass to tho exclusion'of all moisture. It is taken out of the press, cut into square cakes and placed on shelves to -dry, and at the end of the season is packed and sent to Calcutta, for sale. The value of the product depends in a great measure upon the fine particlos called farina, which adhere to the leaves of the plant, and care must be taken that this be not shaken off while it is taken from the field to the steeper. While in the vat it is also necessary that the fermentation should be equable'; if too violent, small quantities of oil are required to be thrown in to allay the working of the mass, which instantly 'subsides to a healthy condition. Lime water is also frequently used to assist the granu lation. The curing also requires strict at tention, or the indigo will greatly deterio rate both in quantity and quality. The refuse matter makes an excellent fertilizer, for which purpose it is extensively used. To test the quality of indigo, two methods are employed ; one of fire, and the other of water. If it floats on the sur face of water, it is good ; if it sinks, it is inferior. Pure indigo, when exposed to flame, is entirely consumed ; but when adulterated, the substance is very difficult of combustion. At one time indigo was an important crop of South Carolina and Louisiana, and to some extent in other portions of the South, and experience proved that one acre of the best and most suitable soil for this plant would yield sixty pounds ; and the expense of cultivation is said to be on ly about one-third the cost of cotton. But the industry has languished, having prov ed, on the whole, unprofitable. Borne have attributed this to the severity of the Win tors, which are unfavorable to the foreign plant, while the wild plant, which is in digenous to the South, is said to be of in ferior quality. Wool a Sure Thing. An Illinoisan, who doubtless contrasts the profits from his corn and wheat fields with the wool his sheep Y produces, says : "Wool is a sure thing every year, but will keep years and years and not spoil if you can afford to hold. Wool-growing requires but little hired help, and you are free from these strikes that wheat harvests will al ways have. The work is done when we have pleasant weather and there is no ab solute pressure. Sheep will increase the fertility of the land, clear out weeds, briars, dock, everything. Wheat harvest may find you in the shade. Josh Billings said of flies, ' Darn a fly ;' if be bad been a farmer and raised wheat, he would have said worse than that." Blgge&t not Best How often whon the monstrous egg has been boiled and opened, the idea has pre sented itself, what sort of a rara ant would this egg have produced bad it been left to undergo its natural course. Would there have been a quadrupedal chick to strut its little hour upon the stage of life, with two heads and four eyes wfcerewith to view the strange experiences of life, or what would have resulted? Lest any too curious in this way should attempt to solve the prob lem and waste their time and egg too, let them learn that as a rule such oggs are infertile and do not hatch, and that as they contain an extra quantity of meat, the best use to which they can be put is to cook and eat them. A Cheap Disinfectant. Dissolve a bushel of salt in a barrel of water, and with the salt water slack a bar rel of lime, which should be wet enough to form a kind of paste. For the purpose of a disinfectant, this home-made chloride of lime is nearly as good as that purchased at the shops and drug stores. Use it freely about sinks, cellars, gutters, and outhouses. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin egar Bitters the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustainod the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and romain long unwell, provided thoir bones are not do Btroyea by minoral poison or othor means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter mittent 1 evcrs, which are bo preva lent in the valleys of our groat rivers throughout the United States, especially those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grando, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoko, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during tho Summer and Autumn, and remarkably bo during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at tho same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. - Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidomio can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Tasto in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi ta tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid noys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee, of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, TJlcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Sorofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affootions, Old (lores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Sis eases, Walker's Vinegar Bittbiis have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent aud Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are cansed by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en- I! aged in Paints and Minerals, such as 'lumbers. Type-setters. Gold-beators. and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis oi me Doweis. to guaru against this, take a dose of Walker's Ylir boar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Bult-Khoum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, C&rbnnclos, King-worms, Soald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug tip and carried out of the system in a short tiino by the use of these Bitters. Pin, ' Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are eiiectnally destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelminitlcs will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the tnm of life, these Tonio Bitters display so docided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins: cleanse it when it is foul: your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. 9 u. h. Mcdonald a co., Druggists and Gen. A gts., Sun Franoiioo, California, and cor. of Washington and Charlton Su., N. Y.
