Dr. J. Walker's California Yiiie-
gar Bitters arc a imrely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without tho u-e of
Alcohol. The question U almost daily
asked, " What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of ViXEfiAi: Uitti:i;s .? "
Our answer is, that they remove tho
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are the piv.it
blood purifier and a life-givinjr princi
ple, a perfect Renovator and l!ivh.'orator
of tho system. Never before in the his
tory of tho world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable.
qualities of Vixegak Bittkiis in heaiinj
the Fick of every cliscaso uiun i.i heir to.
They are a gentle I'nrgativn well a-i a
Tonic, relievimr Cnnsestion or Tnfln!innniio!i
of tho Liver and Visceral Organs ia j:ilio.i-.
Wisenses.
Tlie properties of Dr. walker's
Vixeoar Hitters are .Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, .Sudorific, -iltera-tire.
and Auti-Biliouii.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wondarful Invigor
ant that ever sustained the sinking systom.
No Person can take these Uitters
accordinp; to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones aro not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are bo prev
alent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout tho United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, B-razos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
J invariably accompanied hy cxtensivf
j derangements of tho stomach and liver,
j and other abdominal viscera. In their
; treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
; erl'ul influence upon these various or
; pans, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr.
i J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remove tho dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the samo time
j stimulating the secretions of the liver,
' and generally restoring tho healthy
j functions of the digestive organs. fc
; Fortify the hedv against disease
i by purifying all its fluids with Vixeoar
1 Hitters. No epidemic can take hold of
! a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Ilead
j ache Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
. Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour
! Eructations of the Scomach, Bad Taste in
tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation
of the Ile.irt, Inflammation of tho Lung?,
Pain in the region of tho Kidneys, and a
hundred other painful symptoms, aro
tho offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottio
will prove a better puarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or "King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker's
VrxEOAR Bitters havo shown theii
great curat ivo powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory arid Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious? Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers,- Diseases
of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blad
der, these Bitters have no equal. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
paged in Taints and Minerals, such 33
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters,
and "Miners, as they advance in life, are
subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To
guard against this, take a dose of Walk-
er s tnegar Bitters occasionally,

Scald-head, Sore Lyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
.Scurfn, Discoloration" of thu Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin if whatever name
or nature, nro literally dug np and carried
out of the system in a short time by the nso
of these Bitter.--.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the nystem of so many thousands,
are efltttually destroyed and removed. Ko
.5tem of medicine, no verniifuees, no an
thelniinitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitter.-.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old. married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the tuniol' life, the.-e Tonic Bit
ters display so decided an influence that im
provement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Wood when
ever vou tind its impurities bursting through
the t"kin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you llnd it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleau.-c it when it id
foul; vour feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.

Men have grown old in our patronage
Rabies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed.
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silverray.
And among the honored and lasting impres

circumstances, we stand a living monumental
memento of the ingenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, piying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci

which the presence of superior appliances and es

Always to please

Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
Aud color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town".
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To gel shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of the ballot for prin
ciple sacred and right nor under the common
secret and invidious guise of enmity to complex

Desthsction f the Canada Thistle. In a
brief note recently we directed the attention of
our readers to the necessity of watchfu'nesa
against the introduction of vile weeds, and es
pecially of the Canada thistle. Jt is woith while
a;,Oin to repeat that it does not take very long
to annihilate pests like these in the beginning, if
only people wil! go at the work earnestly and
energetically. Siuce writing Cue paragraph re-,
ferred to, a fact has come to onr notice which
shows what may be done by a watchful man.
One of dar friends in going over his gronnds
last spring was mazed to find that he was guil
ty or harboring and entertaining the Canada
thistle. There it was and no mistake, thickly,
covering a tract of over one hundred srjnare.feet.
He did not send Jo tow n for a bnshel of salt or
wait till the full of the moon, or thick of any of
the cheap aud easy ways oltea given in the pa
pers as substitutes for hard labor; bnt he sent
Ezra to the tool-house for a digging-tork. and,
loosening the ground about the plant, drew them
np as mocli as possible 'by the roots." The
task he tells us took just half an hour. About
midsummer he examined the spot 'again, and.
found thai about a dozen weak spronts had ap
peared in the place where there "were hnudreds
in the spring. These were served as the rest of
the gang had been served before them, occupy
ing fifteen minutes only, all told! On again ex
amining the tract recently be found but a soli
tary piece which had evidently been overlooked
before no new ones having appeared. This
was drawn out by baud, breaking off. and as he
says leaving a small nest-egg which may proba
bly hatch a little brood to be looked after next
srring ; but he has no doubt that fifteen minutes
more next spring will totally destroy bis crop of
thistles "root and branch.' Thus, in an hour
of good work, a man who resolved to conqoer
the enemy will have come off full victor, show
ing how easy it is to cope with these pests when
taken in this way.
The fact is we begin to have rather a poor
opinion of the man who allows his property to
be overrun with Canada thistles. A strong
coarse weed like this, which can be easily seen
and handled, ought to be looked after and drawn
out, as well as the dock, which every good far
mer about here thinks it an imperative duty, if
not au intense pleasure to hunt, pull and destroy.
: Iudeed, it sometimes seems, as we note the in
tense satisfaction with which some of our neigh
bors go at dock-drawing, that it would almost
be adding to their recreations for some one to
sow dock-seed among their crops that they might
enjoy the pulling of them up In due seaf on.
There are thousands of weeds much more injuri
ous ; at least our friend, the victor of the Cana
da thistle-patch, thinks so. lie is sure he would
sooner have a dose of Canada thistles to swallow
j "any day," than be bothered with sorrel, toad
j Cax, cough-grass, or land-rass and we think
, he is right. Ktrmantoirn Tdej;nph.
Eskicuino Ouchakds. To have large and
' fine apples aud pears, an occasional, or wheu
; necessary, au annual top-dressing with manure,
applied in autumn, is found to be just the thing.
; On soils naturally very rich this is not necessary,
i Where manure is scarce, green crops piowed
' uudef are next best. Clover has been used for
! this purpose with success. The'seed shonld be
sown on a clean mellow surface early in spriDg
; and roiled or brushed in. It will make a fair
, growth the same season, and being allowed to
lYemaiti on the ground, the second year it will
! afford a copious snpply of enriching material by
i the first of June, which is as late as it will do to
I plow it under, and not have too grmt check to
the trees. The only objection to this mode is
the absence of cultivation through one whole
season while the clover is growing. The diminu
tion in the growth of the trees, if they are young,
is apparent, but it is more than made up subse
quently after the clover is plowed under. If tb
clover is alldwed to grow to years it will then
afford a larger quantity of enriching matter, but
this course should be adopted only for larg
trees or bearing orchards, which will not meet
with so much check from the two clover years
We have adopted the practice with good results
of top dressing moderately with manure the an
tumn of the first year, all the slower growers
for a distance often feet or more on each side
This partly counteracts the exhaustion by th:
clover, gives it a stronger start, and fiord.
these trees, plenty of enriching matter when ai
is plowed under. Another, and a very good wa
is to sow rye in the orchard in August ; th
young crop affording a fine green carpet whei
the fruit is gathered, and plowed under immedi
ately afterwards it enriches the land. This en
be repeated every year without any difficulty
Where these different modes aro not required fo
apple and standard pear trees, they will be nse
ful and important for dwarfs. Country Genth

Proper Mode of Feeding Horses. Let m
say a word or two in reference to feeding th
horse, as bearing upon the condition of the foot
Every owner of a horse must have observed tha
the growth and strength and appearance of th
horse's foot is materially affected by the condi
tion of the horse himself. A half starved hors
may have a foot injured by deficient nutrition
an over-fed hore may have a foot heated int
ait inflammation ; and so dependent Is the foo
upon a healthy state of the animal economy
that for the foot alone, if nothing else, the di
of the horse should be regulated with the ntmos
regard to his health.
I am confident that we give our horses to
much grain and too little hay especially horse
under seven years of age, Jiho will work wit!
more endurance and courage on a good suppl.
of hay and a moderate supply of grain--of th
latter say six quarts of oats and a pint of con
daily. Older horses require and will hear mor
grain but even they want more hay than is ns
nally given. Every horse should pass a fei
weeks of each year without grain either th
first half or the last half of the winter, whic -'
ever is the most convenient. And this mode
feeding can be adopted without suspending ib
animal's work.
I have one horse fourteen years old, whica ha
had this regimen for four months every year t
his life (and 1 bred him,) and he is as smootl
vigorous and healthy as a colt has a soun
smooth foot, was never lame and has alway
beeu iu good order. He is a good specimen c
what box stalls, brick floor, tar ointment, tin
nips and hay will do for horses towards preserv
ing their health and strength, and soundnea
and promoting longevity. Mass. rUwg'unax.
Fattesinv. Hoos on Cooked Food. Some o
the agricultural papers have lately denied tl i
great advantages of cooking corn for swin.
Omitting our own experiments, we refer to a fe i
others. The two best farmers among our neigh
bors at Union Springs, who weighed and mea
sured, arrived separately at nearly the same re
suits, as to the great superiority of cooked mea
over corn in the ear. Oue of these found tha
when coru was worth C'J cents per bushel, fed i'
the car, it was worth 87 cents in dry meal, an
$1.1-2 to SI. 25 in cooked meal that is, it wa
about double in value. The other farmer mer
ly scalded his meal, lie was fn the practice, i
preparing his feed, of injuring ninety pounds t
hot water on sixteen pounds of meal, then a
lowing this to stand from 12 to IS hours in
coverered lub without feeding. The whole swel
ed so as to make thick pudding, although tli
bulk of the water applied was three times a
great as the meal. He found thi scalded men
soaked in cold water, and at least double in v:
lne of corn in the ear. George Gedds told c
that his experience showed .cooked food to t
doubled in value over coru, iu the ear. A skit
full farmer in Wayne county, who had tried :
many years, placed It between twice and thre
times :he value. Results will of course var
somewhat with the manner of conducting tl
experiments. Country Gentleman.
"When Tn Cows Cove Hove," Many
onr farmers hnve wasted years of valuable tim
just because they did not teach their cows t
come homo at night. Any one who has lived I
traveled in the country will remember the familu
"Cobos, Cobos V of the farmer's son or hir
man, as he endeavors to coax thacows from tl
great pasture. We have had a little expetieue
in these matters, arid well remember how man
times we have waded through the brush am
bog looking, and, boy-like, we thought their
dreadfully contrary animals ; but we have livec
long enough to learu better, and now think that
the biped was the more contrary animal of th
two. Boys, we will tell you a secret that wil'
save you "a great deal of trouble, and it i this :
Every time'the cows are diiven up at night or U
the morning give them a good lick of meal o'
bran, and our word for it the cows will alway:
be onhocdat milking time. Besides this, the'
will give more milk, and forget to kick over th
milk pail, and even if yon do wh'stJe a litt!
too loud.
