Mtplr Sxjir. Miple eu;ar ahould now be
muljby all who have trees auilable for it. No
two should he tapped before it i from 50 to (W
years of e.sry I J to 15 inches in diameter; and
f veD then, if the annual drawiug of the sap is too
profuse, the tree will become aickly and die from
premature decay. The amount of su','ar obtained
Irotn each tree varies from different Cannes. A cold
and dry winter renders them more productive
than a changeable a.id humid one. Let it be re
membered that when a frosty night ii followed by
a dry and sunny day, the sap fliws abundantly;
and that in cold, troaiy weather, or in raiay
weather, or whe.l the nights are mild, with little
or no' frost, 'it almost ceases to run. Trees which
fc-row in low, moist places afford a greater qoanti
y of sap, butleiasur, than those which occupy
rising grounds. The sap, alio, from isolated
trees, left standing in the middle l pastures or
'fioids, or by the sties of fences, is regarded as
bast, and will prolur-o more sugar than that from
trees growing in a forest.
' Fitien . They ehou'd underjo a thorough ex-
amiuation and repair, new ones built, and all
superfluous ones lorn away, as soon as the frost is
out of the ground.
Meadows and Old Ficlds.-U you have any
meadows or old fialds that are award-bound, oi
which bore but indifferent crops of hay last season
give them a thorough harrowing as soon as the
frost is out of the eurface.while the ground is solt;
then sow to each acre 4 quarts of Timothy seed,
10Hs. of clover need, 1 bushel o( plaster of Par
M, 3 bushels of wood ashes, and 5 bu-hels of new
ly slacked lime, all well mixed, and finish off by
rolling.
' iTinfrr Wheat and Rye If your fields of
winter wheat orrye are much killed by frost, let
each acre be sown with 1 o lbs. of clover seed, 1
bushel of plaster, and 10 bushels of newly-slacked
lime, well incorporated together; then pass over
the field a ligt harrow, add lastly the roller.
Most of the grain roots that will be torn op by the
harrow the roller will restore to the earth, where
they will not only grow again, but each joint,
which may thui be pressed into the soil, will form
'Hew roots, snd forth additional stalks, arid con
tribute to an increased yield.
Allotment, or Clasification of Spring Crop.
This is the e lason when all plans should be ma
tured, and all arrangements completed for putting
in spring cropi. In the first p'.ac, do not attempt
to cultivate more land than you can properly at
tend to, let it ba ever so rich, nor to sow, or plant
more than you can well manure; for, a fow acres,
judiciously tilled, will yield a more profitable re
turn, and at the end of the season will be in a
better condition (or the succeeding crop. Par
ticular regard, also, should be paid to rotation ;
lor, as a general tule, seeding the same ground
far the same kind of crop, two years in success
son, tends to the impoverishment of the soil.
Spring Grain, t(c As soon as the frost is j at they certainly are the most saleable. Any ac'

adapted to spring culture, may be so vu with bar

Manures Lose no opportunity in hauling nut
manure, in order that there may be no hindrance
in tpcaadlng and plowing it in, previous to plan
ting, nrsowinyour seeds.
Early Potatnes should be planted as soon
as the gronnd can be properly pulverized or
ploughed. B a fore planting, the tubers should be
cut in sets, rolled in dry asha, plaster or lime,
and kept in a moderately warm, light place a few
week. The ground in which they ara to h
planted should bj liberally supplied with fine
.table or horse manure, and thrown into beds or
drills exposed to the morning and mid-day sun.
Swe't Potatoes may be planted this month in
hot bed. or some ether warm place, whers in two
or three weeks, they will throw out a number of
runners, or sprouts, which, as soon as Ihcy reach
height of three or four inches above the surface,
ehould be taken off, transplanted into hills four or
five feet aptt, in open ground, when the soil is

Dr. Swawe Dear .Sir: For the good ofthe
public, I fell myself in duty bound to testify lo the
great cure which your Compound fcynip of Wild
Cherry performed on me. For my part, 1 feel as
if every body ought to know it. 1 was afflicted
with a violent cough, spitting of blood, night
sweats, hoarseness, and hound of the voice indica
ting an alarming state of disease; my appetite was
gone, and my strength had so far failed me, thai
my friends and physicians were persuaded I could
not survive many days. My sister, who was my
anxious care-taker, made inquiry where she would
be likely lo procure most certain relief. Mic wa
told that if Dr. Swn)iie,s Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry failed in the ctu my lile was then hope
less. Your tnederine was immediately procured,
and the first bottle gave relief, and hy the lime
I had commenced the sixth bottle, my cough had
left me, and my sitentth much improvid. In
short, it lias made a perfect cure of me; Mid I arr
at present as hearty a man as I wish, and (mi
good reason lo believe thai the ne. of yruir nedi
cine has saved me from a premature grave. s l.o I

that vast mines of precious inelule would be re

-Goliloiueter," hy whose aid we expected lo be
directed at once to the "Gold Placer," it any
such exiMecl. Nor were his expectations disap

richest gold minis 111 tlmt coontiy, upon an ob

ot hills extremely rocky and difficult of access,
and seldom visited by the native Californium
Disguising his object under Ihe pretemeol pure
ly scientific research, he obtained the aid of some
tifleen or twenty simple nnd faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued tits task collecting often mote
than :i,uu0 worth of gold in a single day, which
he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting
any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery

Testimonials.
Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to
encumber this notice with a long list of testimo
nials, in proof of the value of his GDLDOME1 ER
and t..ULU M.I.KlJiS GUIDE. The brilliant
results ot bis labors in California, and the discov
cry this very w eek, ol fresh veins of Gold in Vir
ginia, and beds of coal in Rhode Island, bv its
i use, are alone sufli'. ieiit to eiantp it as the great
est discovery ol the age. Nothing hut t lie ex
treme cheapness ofthe insliument and his desire
to see it used lor the benefit ol mankind induces
him lo dispose of il at Ihe low price of which he
offers it. Resides (his, his own desire for wealth
is nearly satisfied.
The following testimonials, in proof ofthe val
ue of the Goldometer, selected from a great num
ber equally atislactnry, must suffice lor the pits

Astor House. New York, Dec. 21, 1S4S.
The undersigned, having Ihis day witnessed the
practical operation of Signor Jose De Alvear's,
newly invented magnetic instrument, Ihe Gold
ometer, feel entirely satisfied lhat it possesses
Ihe extraordinary power of defecting Mineral ores
hidden beneath Ihe surface of the earth, and have
no doubt that it w ill prove an invaluable aid in
the discovery of the mineral resources of the
United Slates and the world.

This may cerlily that Ihe undersigned is fullv
convinced that Signor Jose He Alvear was the
first discoverer ol Ihe Gold depositee of Califor
nia, and lhat this discovery was marie by Ihe aid
of a magnetic instrument called the Goldometer,
w hich I have seen successfully applied to the dis
covery ol veins ol gold ore, in' places where no in
dications of that substance appeared upon the
surlace 01 tne eartn.

No Agents.
In consequence of the difficulty of finding faith
ful agents and of preventing tra'uds, where arti
tides of this nature are sent out for general sale,
Signor D'Alvear has determined to sell none 0!
hi works or instruments unless ordered by
letters sent directly to him, when the desired
publication, or instrument, will be forwarded un
der his signature and seal, so that all doubt as lo
its genuineness may be removed.
$y Beware of all Imitation of this Instru
ment which may hereafter appear, as the secret
of imparting the Gold detecting power is known
to no person whatever, except the original in
ventor. (X3-The Goldometer, and gold seeker's guide,
will both be sent by mail closely enveloped and
sealed, and therefore, not subject to inspection by
Postmasters for the sum of Three Dollars, jen't
post paid to Signor Jose De Alvear, Rox 2713, N.
York city. The instrument is very light, and the
Guide is printed on thin paper so that the charge
by mail, or express, will be very small to anv
part of the United States. The price of the Gold
Seekers's Guide alone is One Dollar sent as above.
