‘.IRIBII ItOSE .1117TTER:
.A notice was published initlie Cultiva
tor for July, as to "Irish Rose Butter,"
said to be the article which the govern
ment required to be conformed to in con
tracts.for supplying the navy. I have
lately received letters from England and
Ireland in relation to this Irish butter, and
the reeult-is, that so far as I can learn,
there is no such butter manufactured in
Ireland for their shipping, as "Rose But
ler,"
A letter from Clonnel, Ireland, Bays :
...kV° never heard - of :-tßose Butter"—but
we know Ono of the Waterford houses
breeds the best quality he ships with a
Another letter says. "Ho understands
that:there is "rose batter" which is put
up witfilety little salt, and is nearly as
gotid as.fmsh butter; but it is not fit for
••••. ;
A;teiter 'from Cork, from which port
the Muter for the British navy is purchased,
beinemade in, the counties of Cork, Lim
erick, and Kerry, says, "The term "rose
butter" we know not the derivation of.—
There is may one description shipped
hem, end ell is brought id" for inspection,
to a Italie market in this city."
The letter front. Cork gives the method of
manufacturing butter for the British navy,
which I will give for the benefit of your
readers, trusting that it will be useful to
our dairyman, and may perhaps enable
some of then► to compete for the supply of
the Navy, with the one country referred
to by your correspondents. The writer
says—
"The butter brought here, is packed by
the farmer iu original packages, which
814)1;01W good casks of about 60 or 70
lbs. uett'each.capable of containing pickle,
the pickelleries and cooperage, (with some
1 or 2 lbs. of the salt on each package ad
ditional, to keep the pickle at full strength)
should be done at the port of exportation
as' here: The quantity 'of salt mixed in
the making of the butter, to be 1 lb. of
salt-to 10 or 11 lbs. of butter, and the but
termilk to be well worked out of the but
tar, without using, however, the hand too
much. In packing, care should be taken
to pack it as closely as possible. This.
we believe, is the only instruction that
can be given." H.
tsinita-Daapasto.—Mr.Johnsto - n is of I
opinion that the winter-killing of wheat is
caused by two great a retention of water 1
inthe tail and subsoil. In this we fully
agree with him: To obviate the evil he
had resorted . to under draining with tdes.
of which he laid 700 rods. The tiles are
made by Mr. , Whartenby. of Water
loo, after a pattern procured by Mr. J..
from Scotland. They cost at the kiln
twenty cents per rod. The drains are
dug about two and a half feet deep. or so
low that the water does not come up
through the bottom. The digging costs
from eight to ten cents per rod. The tiles
spear to be made in the best manner,—
They are not in the - least injured by the
weather; even when exposed to the most
severe frost. When the bottom of the
ditch is firm, the tiles are placed immedi
ately on it; if the ground is soft, a hem
lock board is laid down, on which the tiles
are placed. A little straw is laid over the
tiles'and the earth which had been exca
vated is Then thrown on.
'w The beneficial effects of drain,g on Mr.
'Johnson's farm are very apparent. Pla
ces which formerly would bear no wheat,
nor indeed scarcely any thing but a kind
of sour grass and reeds, are made, merely
by draining, to produce the finest crops of
every descriptfou of grain. He is so well
convinced of the advantages of the practice
that he has laid 400 rods the present sea
son,: and intends to continue it still mere
extensively.

Mahon, more than he has formerly been
able to, do, to the improvernenaliis"builtl

unitising the rail fences, and substituting
for them neat and substantial board, and
he is preparing to remodel and repair his

could not get something that would relieve her,

Medicine," and would do her more • harm
then itiod: But I'determinial tb take your advice,

first dole she felt easier, though unable to sleep
on accountlif the quantity of phlegm that loosen
ed and would almost choke her, but which die
could spit up with but little difficulty; the follow

tions,.and that time for the first time for nearly
two weeks, she enjoyed a good night's rest and by
the time she had finished the first bottle, she was
entirely cured. Make what use of this you think
proper, for such an invaluable medicine should be

MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
Philadelphia, Dec, 4,1847.
Penetrated with a deep sense of gratitude for
the benefit experienced by the INC of Thomson a
Compound Syrup of Tar, and that others who,
like me, have languished through years of affliction
and suffering, without being able to find a remedy
may know where it can be obtained, I voluntarily
make the following statement.
About four years since, after being affected with
,a violent cold, it left upon me a troublesome and
severe cough. Whilst the cough continued, which
was with scarcely an intermission daring this
long period, language fails to tell what I have suf.
feted from debility, pains in the breast and side,
night sweats, difficult expectoration, oppressed
breathing, and in fact all those symptoms which
mark a severe pulmonary affection. The relief
occasionally obtained by the discharge of the mat
ter which obstructed the healthy action of my
system, but increased my fears, as the purulent
matter discharged was frequently streaked with
blood.
During this tittle I was under the treatment of
*erase phySicians,and took many of those preps
ratierns recommended as serviceable in the cases
of others, but without relief t and 1 at length con
cluded that a cure in my case was hopeless. But
how agreeably chunged is now my opinions I
have used for about three weeks Thomson's Com
, pound Syrup of Tar. By the -use of one bottlemy
cough hasheen relieved and my system reinvigo
rated, sad by continuing the use of it up to this
time, l atn satisfied that my complaint is entirely
removed and eradicated,

AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE.
ESSRS. ROWAND & WALTON—Having
experienced the extraordinary efficacy of
your Dr. Cullen's Indian Vegetable Panacei upon

and had eaten into the bone, and one or twb intrel 4

clan anirothers Pronnuiced it &Fora& 114 to
this time every remedy used gave no relief; the
leg continued to get worse; during the early part
of August ray sufferings ware Litotes. I neither
went to bed or slept-legularly for nearly two
weeks, biting campelloTto set up, with myjeg
supported on a chair. About' this time my son
brought home with him from Cincinnati market
one of your circulars, which had been thrown is
to the wagon. I reedit, and knowing some of
the signers to the of lb. ewe of Mr. .
Brooks, and believing from my ktrerlodfle of their
characters that they, would not lOW their names
for the purpose of palming an imposition upon •
the public, I concluded to try what effect it would
have upon me. On the 20th of August I proem
red the first bottle, commenced taking it accord
ing to directions, and in four hours the pain ,wee
so much relieved that I fell asleep and enjoyed that
greatest of blessings, a few hours repose. I con
tinued using it until the 28th of August, when I
found myself so much better that Iwent %An,
cloned to your Agent, Mr. Danenhonr,with whom
I made arrangements to take 20 bottles, provided
he would guarantee to curs me. Ht agreed todo
so, and gave me tie privilege of stepping short of
die 21) bottles, whenever I considered myself well.
I now felt encouraged, and continued to use it an
tler Mr. D's instructions, until I had taken It bot
tles, (using no other medicine whatever.) when I
found myself entirely well ; the tumor on 14..- , •
breast having softened. it opened, crane our, and
was healed up when I hail taken 6 or 7 bottles.
I will here observe, that for many years 1 had
Ova troubled with a kind of dry Teues, .which
greatly annoyed me, particularly when heated or
worm in bed ; I have telt nothing of this since ta
king your medicihe, and have fro doubt that my
system is now entirely free intim disease, my gen
eral health never having been better.
On the 30 of December 1 again called ea Mr.
Danenhower. I then pronounced myself well and
offered to give him a Certificate to that 'Sect,
which I promised to send him in a few days. A
few days thereafter, however, while killing hogs,
I hurt the same leg badly, in consequence of
which I postponed giving the prettified Certin
cote, wishing thoroughly to test the permanency
of the cure. I now used nothing but the nasal
simple remedies for fre.h wounds. and found my
flesh perfeetly healthy. and in the usual time for
such rases my leg healed. Sufficient time bee e
lapKA to convince me that I am now a sound man
and that I have been cured bv your Panarnalone.
In short. I have every conflrience in itirirtifer:=
