FACTS FOR FARMERS
There are some things that farmers should
know, which. it practiced upon, will result
ill good, oiz :
They should know that it is an error to
plant trees from a State limiter south than
their own.—ln a cold season only the seeds
from a colder climate will ripen well.
Often* breaking up a surface keeps a soil
in heath; for when it lies in a hard bound
state, enriching showers run off, and the
salnbrious sir cannot enter.
\Vends exhaust lII,‘ strength of the
grobnd, and, if Putit red to grow, may be
called girden sins.
The hand and the hoe are the instru
ments fur eradicating weeds ; yet if there
it, room between the rows for the spade,
it ie well to Luc it
Never keep your cattle short--if you
starve them they will in turn start you.
It - *•ilt not do to hoe a great field for a
little crop, or to mow twenty acres for five
triads of hay. Enrich the-land and it will
pay you for it. Butter farm thirty acres
well than fifty acres poorly. ' '
In dry pasture dig water on the brow of
L' hill ; springs are more frequently near
the surface on a height than in a vale.
Rain is cash to a farmer, provided he
has land in order to drink up its riches.
The foot of the owner -is good ; manure
for lank
. . Out bushes:. that.you wisli_to destroy. in
the gummier, and with i sharp intrument
—they will bleed freely anti die.
Never plowin' bad weather, or when
the ground is very wet, because tt makes
the surface rough.
Accounts should be kept, detailing the
expenees and products of each field.
When an implement is no longer want
ed fur the season, lay it carefully aside,
hut first let it be welt cleaned, and a coat
of paint would not hurt it.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground
well, sow early, and pay no attention to
the
Cultivate your own heart aright; re
member that whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall lie reap.
Do not begin farming by building an
extensive house, nor a capacious barn, till
you have something to store in it.
Avoid a low and damp sight for a dwel
ling. Build sufficiently distant from your
barn and stock yard to avoid accidents by
fire.
Keep notes of all remarkable events that
may occur on your farm.
Recording even your errors will be a
benefit.
Good remits make good neighbors—as
do.sholtkeyjcm! .. 94p4p long friends,.,
Experiments are highly commendible,
but do not become an habitual experi
menter.
The depredations of birds are fully com
pensated by the services they render in
preying upon destructive insects.
Sheep put into fresh stables are apt to
be killed by eating too much grain.
A. hare pasture neither enriches the soil,
fattens the animals, nor increases the wealth
of the owner. One animal well fed is of
more value than two poorly kept. The
better animals can be fed, and the more
comfortable they can be kept, the more
profitable they are.
SOW clover deep—it secures it against
drought.
Ground once well plowed is better than
thrice hutxly
Bountiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones. Make the soil rich, pulverize
it well. and keep it clean, and it generally
will be productive.
Weeds that grow unmolested around the
fences, stumps, 'and stones, scatter their
seeds over the farm, and are very likely to
grow.
Cows well fed in winter. give an increa
sed quantity of mills, in summer.
An cm that is in good condition in the
spring„ will ill perform more labor, and stand
the heat of suiumer much better than one
that is poor.
When you see the fence down, put it
up—if it.rernains unit to-morrow the cat
tle may get over it.
What ought to be done to-day, do it, for
to•merrow it may rain.
A strong horbe will work all day with
out food, but keep bins at it,. and he will
nut last long.
A iich soil will produce good crops with
out manure, but continue to take off with,
out putting any thing on, and you will
won Gad empty barns and poor kitchens.
Finally : It is an errorlot to have a
perfect system or order of managing a farrn.
FOOD FOR MILCH COWS
Ate large milk establishment, near New
castle; England, the cows are fed in the
following manner : 19 pounds of clover
hay--out or chapped-178 lbs. brewer's
grains. 12 lbs. ground flaxseed, 2 lbs.

divided as the daily food for twelve
cows. The hay, after being cut, is put in
the mash tub and scalded with boiling wa

with it. It is *wed that a gnod cow, thus
led, will yield an average of fourteen quarts
of milk per daY; for eight months in suc

tried every means to restore him to hi, natural
shape, but all without avail. We took him to N.
York, and placed him tinder the care of a physi
clot of skill, and, after remaining. them for some
time, inn brought him home no better than when
we took him there. For several days at • June
he was so helpless that he could only walk. by
placing his bards upon his knees for support giv
ing him the a prearanceof a deformed hunchback .
He vs as also taken to Newburg and prescribed for
without any better success. At times he would be
strong enough to go out of doors, but atter play

and for several days atter would be again perfect.

leg continued to eel Worie ; during the early part
of August my sufferings s ere intense. I neither
went to bed or slept regularly for neatly two
weeks, being compelled to set up, with my leg
supported on a choir. About this time my sun
brought home with him from Cincinnati market
one of your circulate, which had been thrown
in

the signers to the Certificate of the case of Ala
Brooks, and believing from toy knowledge oftbeit
characters that they would not lend their names
for the purpose of palming an imposition upot,
the public, I concluded to try what effect it would

I made arrangements to take 20 bottles, provided
he would . guarantee to cure me. He agreed to do'
so, and gave me the privilege of stopping shorrfif
