LIME WATER FOR HENB
poring the last season, Joseph Wilcox,
of this Sown, having occasion to administer
lii!te Water to a sick horse, inadvertently
telk a pale of the preparation in his barn,
which retheitted there for several months,
serving as a favorite drink for his hens.—
He soon afterwards found that the laying
of. his hens was increased to a consider:a
blatuttent. •Being convinced of the (to him)
nen'tifleovery, he has during the present
seastki,,kept his hens constantly supplied
with lime water, placed in troughs within
that. eitinVenient access, and the result has
he t& increase in eggs of some four-fold
as compared with previous experience.—
He is willing to share the benefits of his
•ermiiitnent with his neighbors, if they
'elitise to try it, and hence this publication.
The newness of the di'scovery (though it
may not be new to all) is claimed only as
!applicable to the mode of imparting the
• lime in this case—its use in another form
foil thisantepurpose having been previous
ly:Mitlerstmxl by many.—Wayne Sent.
" ' ART, ' NATURE, AND MACHINERY.
The earth, says the Scientific American,
owes more to art than to nature after all.
s till: the effect of clover end plaster on sand
ivas discovered, our barrens were
as. unproductive as rocks. Since that dis
covery, however, they have become the
inoitrilitakt farms in the State. Till art
lo.tok hold of apples, the largest one grown
inas about the size of a walnut ; the cab
bagZrof nature was nothing but sea-kale,
while nature's unsophisticated peach was
link 'better than a poison. Indeed, with
'out art the product of our whole state might
yet be carried to market in wheelbarrows
--while the value of our lands would be
about equal to those of the Rocky Moun
taids. The invention of the cotton-gin in-
Creased the value of South Carolina land
t4etity.fitre per cent., because it saved that
usuch in. the expense of harvesting the
.crop. Without the plough, any land might
-be purchased for a shilling an acre. This
beit* , The case our farmers should take
mere interest in the progress of machinery,
than even our artisans. Not only their
sweat, but their. very substance depends
upon it. Till the horse rake was invented,
gathering hay into cocks wa; one of the
most 'laborious works connected with the
farm. Now, it is one of the easiest and
tend delightful, and what is true of mow
ingis the same of all the other toilsome
work that has long been considered neces
sary ip turn manure into bread.

t,ow HORN.—It is familiar to far
mere.
that, when any animal has been sub
ject to this disease, in winter the corn
.pl ipt I Will,return again frequently. The
iciinifitiritthay often be kept off in such
cases,,simply by wrapping the horn with
woolen cloth or sheepskins with the wool
turned inwardly, and keeping it well bound
on through the winter. As soon as the
`fibirtt bqins to become carious, it becomes
uttetnally sore, and it sometime happens
that all efforts to save an animal afflicted
with this complaint are ineffectual, merely
fcir the'vrant of wrapping the horns, and
thereby imparting that warmth to the parts
intended to be healed, which all know is
necessary for any wound or sore in winter
in order to heal ft.—Albany Cultivator.
COOKING FOOD FOR STOCK
The Albany Cultivator says:—We are
frequently asked whether the cooking of
food for stock, by steam or otherwise,
would be profitable. So far as regards
feeeding cattle, we are without any reliable
expirlments which hare been made in this
country to test this point. The subject
hos attracted much attention in Egland and
Scotland, and the results of several experi
ments there made have ben recorded—
These experiments seem mostly to lead to
the conclusion,that though in some instances
cooked food does produce a greater gain
than the sante amount of raw food, yet the
ad4antage of the former is not sufficient to
ilefrm the expenses. In feeding hogs,
however, especially where grain of any
'bud is used, the advantage of cooking
seem. generally to be admitted. We are
oho Inclined to think that there may be
advantages in partially cooking some
kinxle of Land for cattle—such al corn
stalks, chaff or straw, which by this means
becomes more palateable, and the nutri
ment they contain rendered more soluble,
And more easily assimilated. The whole
enbiast of feeding animals, however, is one
dioetvineof more thorough investigation
than it is his here received, and we would
taitiesdi commend it to the attention of
of our, agricultural societies.

M'Cullough, A G Miller. T A All'Kinley,, Philip

ants of Cumberland and Adams counties to the
cheapness of the rates, and the many advantages
which this kind of insurance has over any other.
Ist. Every person insured becomes a member
of the company and takes part in the selection of
officers and the direction of its concerns.
2d. For insurance no more is demanded than is
necessary to meet the expenses of the Company,
and indemnity against losses which may happen.
3d. The inconvenience of frequent renewals is
avoided by insuring for a term of five years.
4th. Any person applying for insurance must
give his premium note for the cheapest class at
the rate of five per cent., which will be $5O on the
1000, for which he will have to pay $2 00 forfive
years and $1 5.0 for survey and policy, and on
more unless loss be sustained to a greater amount
than the funds on hand will cover, and then no
more than a pro rata share. These rates are
much cheaper than those of other companies, ex

lead either a very sedentary or irregular
life. Although not regarded as a fatal di
sease, yet, if neglected, it may bring on in
curable Melancholy, Jaundice, Madness,
or Vertigo, Palsy, and Apoplexy. A greet
singularity attendant on it is, that it inay
and often does continue a great length of
time without any remission of the symp

CAUSES.—Grief and uneasiness o

UNT'S LINIMENT ia sustaining a notori
dia ety unequalled by any similar temetly, It
requires no pudfing to give it a reputation, it has
been for some time silently and surely securing
it, and now, when ito beneficial abet have been
experienced by so many, the expressionsof grat•
itude are continually appearing.- and those who
have been made whole by its means, stedesirous
that the afflicted should no longer remain ignorant
of its invaluable and infallible efficacy.
Mr. Cleo. E. Stanton, the Proprietor, is con•
stantly receiving testimonials of benefits received
from its use, and many of the cures it haseffeeted
almost exceed belief. In one•ease a child had
been a cripple for eight-years, having wrenched
the spine, when at the age of two years, by s fall
from a chair. Medical treatment failed, but four
bottles of the Liniment restored him to strength.
and he now joins with his playmates in their
youthfUl gambols, as robust as the healthiest of
them, and only a small hump on his back to re.
mind him of his early sufferings. Price 25 cents

would aggravate disease, and ultimately result in

Dr. S. P. Thompscin--:•Dear'Sir: I soneiderit a
Crateful duty to publielracknowledge the benefit
I have derived from the use DI your invaluable
medicine, the Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood
Naphtha, In the spring of 1844, 1 Was taken ill
with bilious fever, and was very ill for a long
time. After I had partially recovered, my physi
cian informed me my lungs were affected, and
treated me accordingly. His skill had no effect,
for instead of getting better, I daily grew worse.
I was finally informed by him that "I was incu
rable, and must die, and that nothing remained
but preparation for another world." My weak
ness increased until I was confined to bed; 1 had
very severe pains in my breast, side and back,
shortnt•ts of breath, and I was so very hoarse that
my voice could not be heard, unless the ear was
applied close to my mouth. My cough was ter
rible, harassing me night and day, so that I could
obtain very little rest. While suffering in this
way, with no relief, I saw your advertisement in
the "Union," of this borough, with the certificate
of a lady of Philadelphia appended, which so near
ly described my case, that I resolved to try your
medicine and its effect upon me. I accordingly
sent to your agent, Dr. M'Pherson, and procured
a bottle. I had not used more than one-third of
it, before the hoarseness left me;
I then took it
regularly ; the pain in my breast,Src.left me ; the
shortness of breath and cough was removed, and
I am now able to walk about with renewed health
and vigor. You can make what use of this you
please. lam willing to give any satisfaction
that may be required of me if called on personal.
iy. With great respect, I remain your's, &c.
