Rants for the Season.
•
1. Now is the time—a late time we admit
—to cut all briars and weeds of various kinds
that may be growing in corners or unculti
vated.rooke. If the seeds.are mature enough
to germinate, be sure not to scatter them.-
- gather the plants, and burn the whole.
2. Do trot forget to keep sour yard acid
gaiiien treat: - This is apt to be neglected
bow, because most gardens have yielded near
ly all they will this year. But these. weeds
will.show Themselves for next year, unless
they are deNtreyed., Besides s o m e thing i s
dile to neatness and taste •
'3. ( Do you pick_up all the apples every day
and have the defective ones - fed out to pigs
• or cattle? If not, begin at once to do so.—
Those - apples that have fallen, are likely to
have ;vents in them: These worms multiply
rapid's's tetiot destroyer', Gathering them
each da1 . . , , mid reeling them out, prevents this
propagation greatly. The nourishment in
these fipples will pay fur . the. trouble. But
the great reason tor this operation, is the fu
ture value of your orchard.
4. If you have pears that are' ripening, do
not let them hang-on the tree. Gather them
now, and let them finish ripeping in , some
elry,-cool place, under cover: Alt pears
should "be gattered at least one week before
they ale dead ripe. Their flavor and rich
tess.a re greatly improied thereby. Besides,
you thus save them from pilferers.
5. Early grown meadows have now a sec
- bud growth of grasp, almost fit to mow, so
abundantly have been the rains. When such
meadows are'in or near orchards, we suggest
that they..may he mown, or in some way fed
off, else they will furnish homei for hosts of
mice during the next winter. We have in
:mind two instances where flourishing orch
ards,have been nearly destroyed by mites hut'.

7. The season of Fairs is at hand. We

ROOT PILLS. This philanthropist has spest
the greater part of his life in travelling, having .
visited Europe, Asia; Africa and South America
-wpent3.years among the Indians of our West
ern country,-it was In this way that the Indian
Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was
the first man to establish the feet that all disea
ses arise front IMPURITY rg. THE BLOOD-that our
strength, health and life depad upon this fluid.
When the various passages become clogged,.
and do not act in perfect harmony with the diff
erent foneticms of the body, the blood lases its
scion; becomes thick, corrupted and ditteased;-
thus causing pains skinless and distress ofestry
name; our strength is exhausted, we are sdepriv
ed our health, and if nature is not Waisted in '
throwing off the stugnantbontors,the blood will
become stagnant and tease to 'as% Aria WU* our
light of life be forever bleien eat. !low itpier-1
taut is it then to keep the passagehtftlie body
free and open. And bow ptekint to ifs to be 1-
ble toput a medicine in yottleisc'h,Morse's
Indian - Root Pills, Blade plants and roots
that grow around the mountain cliffs in Natnre's
garden, for the t hikth Ind 'comfort of diseased
man. 'One'ortles 'roofs from Which thetse Pills ,
are wide lattßtdOr l ific, which opens the !setts of
the elan, Mid . itssists - Nature in throwing ot the
finer portiditth bf corruption within. The second
which is k plant is au Expectorant, that opens
and unclogs the passage to the lungs, andthus,
in a soothing manner, performslts duty bythrow
log off phlegm, and other humors from the lungs
by copionSispitting. The third is a Di' relic,--
which ,gives ease and double streegth to the kid
neys; dna encouraged, they draw laye amounts
of impurities from the blood, which is then
thrown out bountifully by the niinary or
water passage, and which 'Mad net have been
discharged in any other way: ..The fobrth is a
Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties
of the Pills while bngaged in tintifyting the WO;
the e,oaraer particles of impurity' which cannot
pais by the:other otittoth, at thus taken upend
conveyed off in krent - quantVes by the - bowels.
From the above, it is shown that Dr. Morse's
Indian heel. Pills not ohiy enter the stomach,
but become united with the blood, for they find
way to every part, and completely cleanse the
systebt from all impurity, and thelife of the body
which is tht blood, becomes perfectly bealthy;--
coriseptently all itiekness and pain is drivenfrom
the sySteie, for they cannot remain when the bo
dy beeontes so pure and clear. The reason why
poeple are so distressed wheu sick, andso many
die, is because they do not get a medicine that
will pass to the allictecl parts, and which will o
pen the natural paSSftges for the disease to be
cast ont; hence. a small quantity _of food rind Oth
er matter is lodged, and the itonlach and intes
tines are literally overttowlog with thebotrupted
mass; thus undergoing disagreeable fermenta
tion, constantly mixing with the blood, which
throws the corrupted matter through every vein
and artery, until life is taken from the body by
disease. Dr. Morse's PILLS have added to
themselves victory upon victory, by restoring
millions of the sick to health and happiness.—
Yew thousands who have been- racked or tor
mented with sickness,
pain and . anguish, and
whose feeble frames h ate been scorched by the
burning elements of raging fever, and who have
been brought, as it were, within-a step of the
silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they
would have been numbered wittt.the dead, had
it not bten for this great and wonderful
in'c, Morse's Indian Root Pills., After 1 or 2 do
ses had been taken, they were astonished, and
absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charm

ease and strength, and take away all sickness,
pairiland anguish, but.they it Orate go to work at

OSWEGO STARCH.
(FOR THE LAUNDRY,)
ITAS established a greater celebrity than has
1.1 ever been obtained by any other Starch.
This_ hala been the resnit of its marked supe
riority. in quality, and its Invariable uniformity.
The public may be assured of the continuance,
of the high standard now bistablished.
The production is over Twenty Tons daily,
and the demand his extended throiighotit the
whole of the United States, and to foreign coun
tries.
Worktil thus on n verv . Arge scale, and under
a rigid systern,ilieY are able to secure a perfect
uniformityin the quality throughout the year.
This Is the. great Desideratum in Stareii making;
and is realized stoic , for the first tithe. ,
The very . best Starch that .Can Made; and
so OTHER, is always wanted by conihtners, and
this willpe supplied to nerd by the grocers, as
soon as their customers have learned which i;
the best, and - ask for it—otherwise they, would
be likely to get that ankle on which the largest
profit ran be made: .
Mr. Kingsford his been engaged in the matt
facture of Starch continuously for the last 27
years, and ddring the whole of this petiod, the
Starch made under his supervision has been, be
yond any question, the best in the market. For
the first 17 years, ho had the charge of the
works of Wm. Colgate-it n which period
heinvented the Ptecess of Co.,Se minnfacture of
Corn Starch.
It is sold by till the best grocers in nearly every

Potatoe Starch has been extensively packed
and sold as a Corn Starch, and has given faille
