RAVING GRAIN IN DAMP WEATHER
91' STRAW.
A field of white oats near Plymouth was
cut- wet, and, the weather continuing the
flame, was at last stacked in layers, with
dry' straw between. Where no dry straw
is to be had, it may be dried in a sheaf;
01,e bye a simple kiln, or without risk of
firo, by lime, as Inflows : If the rick he
made hollow, with the grain turned in-
Wsrdo a sufficient quantity of fresh quick
lime' piked within, and then all closed in
from'hollom to top, and covered over to
exclude the eternal air, the lime will
rapidly drfthe air within, which will as ra
pidly take moisture from the grain; and so
'eothinne until thcgrain is dry or the lime
fully:slaked. And as quicklime will ab
itotb one-third its weight of water, a ton of
take between 6 and 7 cwt. of
water, and thus probably dry 6 or 7 tons
'of gpltili and straw ; for all this water must
some from the grain, if the air is excluded,
and the lime raised from the soil 1 a bed
of atones, gravel,
.or straw. The lime
own not of course, touch the grain ; and,
therefore, room should be lett for it to swell
in slaking and for turning it over to slake
all through ; and a sort of doorway must
be left on the side of the rick, which can
be'opened for putting in 'the lime, and for
turning it over ; but must he closed up im
mediately, and kept close, except at those
Inotnents. • - - - • -
QUANTITY OF CORN PER ACRE-I wislt
every skeptic upon the subject of raising
100 , bushels torn to the acre., would care
fully measure the ground and count the
ears upon some garden patches of corn
during the present summer, and they can
he convinced how easy it is to raise 100
bushels of corn to the acre, upon land with
the soil of garden-mould and a similar cul
vatiOn.
V4IGNS OF A PROSPEROUS FARMER.
4. When a farmer is seen marrying
young. it shows that Providnnce helps
tho:se who help themselves, and that in fu-
Wu he will have helps of more kinds than
Azle. -
2. When •lights are seen to burn in his
house before break of day, in winter espe
cially, it shows that the day will never
break on his 'breaking' in the winter of
his adversity.
3. When you see his barn larger than
his house, it shows that he will have large
profits and small afflictions.
4.' When you see him driving his work,
instead of his work driving him, it shows
that he will never be driven from good
resolutions, and that he will certainly work
bit way to prosperity.
5. When you see in his house more
lamps for burning lard or greese, than can-
dlesticks for more expensive purposes, it
shows that economy is working its way to
happiness and plenty, with that light
which should .enlighten every' farmer into
the world. • .
6. When you always see in his wood
house, a sufficiency for three days, if not
snore, it shows that he will be a more
than 'ninety days wonder' in farming op
erations, and that he is not sleeping in his
house after a drunken frolic.
7. .Whert he has a small house, separate
from the main building, purposely for ash
and an iron or tin vessel to transport
them, it shows that he never built his dwel
ling to be a funeral pile for his family and
perhaps himself.
8. When his house is hoarded inside
swill Outside, it shows that he is 'going the
whole hog,' keeping plenty inside his
house and poverty out.
9. When his sled his housed in summer
and his farming implements covered both
winter and summer, it plainly shows that
he will have a good house over his head
in the summer of early life, and the winter
of old age.
10. When his cattle arc properly shel
tered and fed in winter, it evidences that
he is acting according to Scripture, which
. says,.that a 'merciful man is merciful to
wait!, his beasts.'
11. When he is subscribing for news
papers, it shows that he is speaking like a
book respecting the latest improvements
in agriculture, end that he will neverget his
walking papers to the land of povertp.

The following certificate of the restoration to

the case may be, there is a remedy in Hunt's Lin

G. E. Stanton, Esq.--Sir: I feel called upon by
the tie of gratitude to offer the following testimo
ny in favor of your External Remedy, Hunt's Lin
iment. .Nly grandson, Clark E. Evans, who Is
now ten years of age, has been for the last eight
years a nipple, caused by falling .from a chair
when he was two years old, and wrenching his
spine. From the time of the occurrence we have
tried every means to restore him to his natural
shape, but all without avail. We took him to N.
York, and placed him under the care of a physi
cial of skill, and, after remaining there for some
time, we brought him home no better than when
we took him there. For several days at • time
he was so helpless that he could only walk by
placing his hands upon his knees for support, giv•
ing him the appearance of a deformed hunchback.
He was also taken to New burg and prescribed for
without any better success. At times he would be
strong enough to go out of doors, but alter play
ing an hour, would come in perfectly exhausted,
and for several days after would be again perfect.
ly helpless. We had lost all hope of seeing him
restored to his natural shape or strength ; but a
kind Providence placed your External Remedy in
my hands. I have tired but four bottles. and am
rejoiced to say that the boy is now as straight as
any boy of his ag e. Any of my neighbors will
testify to the tru th of this statement. I take sin
cere pleasure in stating these facts for the benefit
of others suffering under a like calamity. Your's
respectfully, RACIIAEL SHUTE.
This is to certify that I am personally acquaint
ed with MIS. Shute, as well as the boy alluded to,
and frankly bear witness to the'delormity with
which he was seriously afflicted, apparently for
lite. Dated Sing ;Am June 9.1845.

RAD the following from Mr. Sharp, a well

Northern Liberties, Philadelphia County. This is
row of the most astonishing cum on record, and,
itwill be seen, is attested by the Rev. Mr. Starner,
sad by other citizens of that district:
Petzserizenta, !Woes,. 11,1847.
Near the close of the year t 845,1 had an attack
of the Pleurisy and while recovering from it, I
I took a severe cold. My condition soon became
alarming and 1 grew gradually worse and worse.
The symptoms manifested by my diadem , were
thine ordinarily found Iti pulnionary . isifetifOns—
but mine were of an exceedingly aggravated char
acter. For a long period I expectorated a great
quantity of matter, which appeared a mixture of
pus and blood—al times it seemed as if l was dis
charging the very substance of the Lungs. My
voice was gone so us to be unable to utter a few
words without great difficulty, and I experienced
a thousand other painful sensations that 'cannot
be told. One of the moat unpleasant attendants
of my disease were chilling sweats. The cold
perspiration 'unicorn MO continually, not only at
night, but ahio during the day go as to keep my
cloths at all tpnes continually wet.
I employed every mean. of cure! could bear,
and was attended by several eminent and skillful
Wane. But the obstinacy of my disease

from my ed, but they also pronounced me incur
able. The last Physician attending me, told me
at one time, that I had but a few days to live—at
another time I might linger on a few weeks or
menthe, but that it was utterly impossible that I
could get well, or ever be able to attend to my
business, Thus, with no prospect of recovery .1
lingered on during the greater part of the year
1848—for three months blz , which period my
friends sat up with me, expecting every night to
see my sufferings end in death'.
But last fall, a lady residing in Southwark, who
had been cured of somewhat similar sufferinp by
"Thompson's Compound Syrup of Tar and Naph

recovery, I commenced its use. Imagine then

tirely to the wonderful efficacy of the above medi
cine. From the time I commenced its use, the
disease began to yield its hold upon me, and by
steady perseverance in its employment I may say
it has raised me from the grave. All unpleasant
symptoms have vanished and I have for several
Jmonths. attended to my business as formerly, and
(except seine* less degree of strength than I once
possessed,) us well as ever.
