WINTER WHr.AT.
Otittsiderible auention is now being paid ;
to UW litlitire of winter wheat. Some
Itaiiill*etled very well with it during
the'Ptalt ~,:se, ; others have found that
their ortrywas badly winter-killed. A
friend writes us that when his farm was ;

remedy. We have seen some excellent

therishybreaking off the roots of the wheat
ancLitlecayidt ;it. On ploughed lands
therfili none of this covering, and the soil
is tible to the lifting by frost, and the
wheat constantly suffers as above stated.
Wtqar,o9l know, from ally practical ex
perience, the best mode of preventing
wheat, thus sowed on plowed ground, be
ing winter-killed; but nature would seem
to point 4,14 the. fact _that if the soil cony
be tobvered with a similar coating of light
muck or mould, as it is in case of burnt
land, the object would he accomplished.—
We will give you some observations puh
lished in the transactions of the New York
Agricultural Society, by Thomas Mellen,
of Madison, in that State, on this subject.
lgtiny years since, says he, I knew a
farmer in the county of Saratoga, to suc
ceed well in cultivating a crop of full sown
wheat, when his neighbors wholly failed and
abandoned the crop, by reason of its being
frolen out. This successful farmer pre
pared manure from his barn-yard, the
strew, scrapings of the yard lee., and put
th4oe ingredients into compost heaps.—
slimmer followed and sufficiently plow
editis lands, from which he had taken a
crep, and then smoothed the furrows with
theinurow. He then drew out his corn-I
post matinee, twenty-five or thirty loads to
the acre, and harrowed it in, thus incorpor
ating the surface of the soil and the ma
num together. The result was that he
always succeeded with his crop of winter
wheat, when his neighbors, who pursued
a different culture, failed. Ills wheat.
thus treated, was never winter-killed. Af
ter becoming acquainted with the circum
mince, Mr. M. adds that he communica
ted the plan to others, who tried it and
succeeded completely.
.110 also relates the following experiment.
tried by his brother, which we think will
be %Wresting to our friends , who are desi
rous of trying the winter wheat culture.—
The soil on which the experiment was
trielf;airai asleep, friable loam with a sou
thern ,exposure. After ploughing he
smoothed the furrow with the harrow, on
the t ,part. he proposed to top dress. He
then_ 'carried on thirty loads to the acre of
tho manure of the yard that had accumula
ted by bedding both neat cattle and sheep,
the previous winter. It had laid through
the summer, and had not been in compost
helots, which: would have been better, but
it 4 wis pretty well rotted. This was even
ly wpread over a part of the field, he not
having enough to spread ()e'er more than
oisktalf the field in question. On this be
.4?iedt his seed wheat, and at the same
tints the residue of the field, anil harrowed
the, whole in.
wheat that was top dressed bad in
the fall evidently the most luxuriant growth.
led all the field looked promising. When
the snow disappeared in the spring. the
wheat was green, and looked well; but
during, the month of April, thawing and
freezing commenced, and continued for a
considerable length Of time, interspersed
with oeensional snow squalls, and some'
rzip, sufficient to keep the top of the ground
moist, and exposed to the action of the
treat: The result was, that the wheat oa
that. part of the field not top dressed, soon ]
afebnied a blanched appearanet, while the
coact' part renuinedeomparatively as green I
as baste; and the wheat on the part not
tniflotseetl was almost entirely killed, so
that he sewed it to spring wheat, while the
pOilitrtf .was top dressed was not injured
Ity-ehokost, but produced a good crop of
hiiir headed and well filled wheat.

wesinam and decrepitude of age. Can itbe be
lieved that alter being before the public for ninety
one years, their sale should only now be a little
rising s million boxes per year ! But so it is, and
it is only to be attributed to fatal prejudice, or
their Me would be at lean twenty mitlionesdbox

all
the sick ewe them—they will soon be among the
healthy, let all who would secure themselves from
sickness have them by them in ease of a sudden I
attack; for a few domes taken when the body
commences to get out of order, and the. benefit is
secured at once. Fathers and motheys t lettend to
this subjeet; aims and daughters, attend to this

the question, whether what has stood the test of
time so long does not deserve some attention.

ity of your Vegetable Cnivernal Pills over all oth
ers as a Cathartic Medicine, which opinion is
founded on our own personal experience—haring
used them for years as a family medicine. We
therefore take pleasure in thus recommending them
as specially excellent in preventing and curing
those bilious difficulties to winch almost every in
dividual is. at certain periods of the year, subject.
In all dyspeptic cases in which we have seen them
used, they have effected a perfect cure. The
method of using them was to take cite or two eve
ry night before going to bed. Whoever that in
dyspeptic, and follows this advice, will be sure of
a cure, so we believe, as we- hate never known
them to fail. Nothing but the welfare of our fel

Such is a brief view of what She "United States

It is believed that the establishment of such a

place it within reach of the great masses of. the
people, at the commencement of what promises to
be a moat interesting and etentful period in 'the
history of Congressional proceedings, will be m

• ' . ' PHILADIILPHIA, AtIGUST 11,1847.
Near'the'elose of the year 1845,1 had an Wade'
of the Pleurisy and while recovering from it, 1
r
took severe cold. My condition soon became
alarming and I grew gnsduelly worse and worse.
The symptoms manifested by my disease were
those ordinarily found in pulmonary , affections—s
but mine were of an exceedingly aggraveted chin-
acter. For a long period I expectorated a great
quantity of matter, which appeared a mixture of '
pus and blood.—at times it seemed as ill was dis
charging Itie very substance of the Lungs. My
voice was gone so as„, to be unable to utter a few
words without great difficulty, amid I experienced
a thoutand other painfuleensations that cannot
be told. One of the moat unpleasant attendants
of my disease were chilling sweats. The cold
perspiration ran from me continually; not only at
night, but also dining the day so as to keep my
cloths at all times continually wet,
I employed every means of cure I could hear,
and was attended by several eminent and skillful
Physicians. But the obstinacy of my disease
baffled all their efforts. They indeed .raised me
from my beat, but they also pronounced me incur
able. 'rho 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 tew weeks or
months, 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 I
lingered on during the greater part of the year
1846—for three months of 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 suffering* by
."lhompson's Compound Syrup of Tar and N aph
tha," came and urged upon me a trial of it. Al
most despairing of any relief, anihkith no hope of
recovery, I commenced its use. Imagine then
my satisfaCticin in being able to state that I am
NOW WELL! and I attribute my restorationen.
tirely to the wonderful efficacy 01 the above medi
cine. Froth 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
• has raised me horn the grave. All unpleasant
. .
symptoms have vanished and I have for several
months attended to my business as formerly ,and
(except some less degree ttl strength than I once
possessed ,0 as well as ever.
People come from various places to see me, in
quiring for the man curd of Consumption! Those
who have known me and are well acquainted nith
my long continued afflictions, s:op with astonish
ment when they meet me, at seeing the wonderful
change wrought by thence of the above medicine.
