In some experiments on South Down

Ma. Banos :—I have ever practiced
plowing deep for corn, although I am
Aware 1 differ in this with many fur
ors.
If yoo pot on plenty of manure the
WI previous and plow shallow, unless
ii bo a dry season, you will likely get a
crop of corn, and probably got most
Ogle strength of tho manure in the
first crop.
.But put on the same coat of manure
Aiod plow deep, (I io not mean sub
soiling,) and you will see tho good
Affects of the manure for a number of
crops.
And how will it bo in ease• of a dry
sewn, when the shallow ploiirod corn
is 'getting parched and twisted up with
the sun, while the other is spreading
its broad green leaves, and almost bid
gang defiance to the drohth?
y plan is to plow doep, harrow
deep, and mark out for planting deep,
and yon then hare the roots of the corn
ju a much better place than if you
pratticed the reverw SIMoN.

Ono great point with farmers should
be to prevent lose of their barn manures
f►yeCking their fermentation. Strong
' nutnnres heaped up, soon ferment and
barn finless math extra matter is mix-
ed in the pile. Some heaps heat so
jmneh as to turn white. They are "fire
ranged" as the old gardeners ased to
express it, and they are almost worth-
'ea t when this excessive heating has
boon permitted. We incline to think
that more of the pageant, of our manures
la wasted by this fermentation—this
beating process—than in all other modes

Conone•clore 11u11.—An anecdote is re- ,
hued of Commodore-Hull, which we do
not remember to have soon recorded in I
history. Previousto the battle between
the Constitution and Guerriore, the
gallant Commodore ordered his men
to refrain from firing until he gave the
order. The enemy at length commenc
ed a constant firing. When unable to
prevent his men from returning the as- 1
*atilt, he at a favorable moment, shout- ;
ed the command " fire." The order
was given with so much vehemence and
with such a sudden start, that he split
his tight naval pantaloons from the
knee to the' waistband.
/fir The pitch to which the spirit of
gambling will sometimes reach, is strik
ingly illustrated in an anecdote told by
Walpole in one of his letters, of an in
cident at White's Chocolate House—a
famous gambling establishment in Lon
don. A man dropped down dead
at the door,lind was carried in ; the
club immediately made bets whether
he was dead or not. and, when they
were going to bleed him, the wagerers
for his death interposed, saying it
would affect the fairness of the bet!
Stir Tel l me, yo winged winds, that
round my pathway roar, do yo net know
some spot where women fret no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell, sonic
" holler" in the ground, where babies
never yell, and cradles are not found ?
Tho loud wind blew the snow into my
face, and snickered as it answered,
"Nary place."
lir Professional pomposity is well
taken off in the following anecdote,
which we found in a late English pa
per:
Shields, doctor, looking learned, says :
—" Well, mariner, what tooth do you
wan( extracted T Is it a molar or au in
clivor ?"
Jack, short and sharp—" It is in the
apper tier, on the larboard sidg e ßear
a hand, you swab, for it is niping my
jaws, like a lobster."
Bow to bv an Early Bird.—Jump out
of bed the moment you hear the knock
at the door. The man who hesitates
when called is lost. The mind should
be made up in imiuute, for early rising
is ono of those sabjectr that admit of no
turning over.
Merl couple were married in Mis
souri a few days ago, who had never
met before the day of the wedding.—
They courted by letter. The bride was
a Massachusetts school teacher, and the
groom a citizen of lino; county, in
Missouri.
Youngster, spare that girl !
Kiss not those lips so meek
Unruffled let the f.:ir.lock curl,
Upon the maiden's cheek I
Believe her quite a saint;
Her looks are all divine,
Her rosy hue Is paint!
Her form is--crinoline!
raAn Indiana paper says that dur
in trial in Lawrence Court, a young
lad who was called as a witnees, was
asked if he knew the obligation of an
oath, and where he would go if he
told a lie. Ho said he supposed Is ho
should go where all the lawyers went."
IbirA good story is told of a Michi
gan man who recently went down into
Indiana to buy a drove of horses. He
was longer absent than he intended,
and failed to meet a business engage
ment. On being reproached fur not
being home, he made due apology : " I
tell you how it is, squire; at every lit
tle darned town they wanted me to stop,
and be president of a bank."
SiirA witness in a liquor case, re
cently gave the following testimony :
—"Sal soda is ice and water, and some
stuff squirted into it from a concern.
Don't know whether it is intoxicating
or not—it makes one feel good—feet
lift easler."
tar Among the articles announced
for sale in one of the week's auctions,
we perceive an article entitled a Kahog :
any child's chair. The father of this
wonderful infant mast have been of tho
Wood family.
iiirA late writer says that woman
has no generosity toward her own sex.
Who ever knew of a woman to go
security for another woman's house
rent?
iiiirA statistical writer has estim*ted
that the value of the buttons, worn on
the backs of gentlemen's coats, where
they are entirely useless, is Large enough

fIONSUMPTION and all Diseases of the
‘,/ Lungs
. and Throat are positively Cured
by fah/demon, which conveys the remedies
to the cavities in the lump through the air
passages, and coming in direct contact with
the disease, neutralises the tubercular matter, i
allays the cough, causes a free and easy ez-
=tion. beaus the lungs, purifies the
mparts renewed vitality to the nervous
system. giving that tone ind energy so indis
pensable
kir the restoration of bead th. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of I
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control of medical treatment as any other for- I
addable disease • ninety out of every hundred
cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty
per cent. in the second : but in awl third stage
it 1/1 impossible to save more than five per
ant, for the Lungs are so cut up by the dis
ease al, to bid defiance to medical skill.—
F.sed; - however, in the last stages, Inhalation
affords extraordinary relief to the suffering
attending this fearful scourge, which annually'
destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the
United States clone : and a correct calculation
shows that of the present population of the
earth, eighty millions are destined to fill the
Consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
1 fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has
been the great enemy of life, for it spares
neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the
brave, the beautiful, the graceful and the
gifted. By the help of that Supreme Being I
from whom cbmeth every good and perfket i
igilt, I am enabled to offer to the afflicted a
permanent and speedy euro in Consumption.
The tirst cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect produced by
their deposition in the lungs is to prevent the
free admission of air into the air cells, which
causes a weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to ex
pect greater good from medicines entering the
`cavities of the lungs than from those admin
istered through the stomach : the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhala
tion is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
' constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by tke
stomach. To prove the powerful and dirt
influence of - this mode of administratton,
chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensi
bility in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire
fl/1.170t18 11741,113, so that It limb may be am
putated without the slightest. pain ; inhaling
the ordinary burning gas will destroy Ilk in a
few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the)
system when fainting or, apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is percepti
ble
in the skin a few Minutes after being in-'
haled, and' may be immediately detected in '
the blood. el. convincing proof of the conati- ~
tutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul i
air—is not this positive evidence that proper 1
remedies, carefully prepated and judiciously
administered through , the lungs should pro
duce the happiest results? During eighteen'
years' practice, many thousands suffering 1
from diseases of the s lun - and throat., have
been under my care, and have effected many
re markable cures, evert a ft er the sufferers had
been pronounced in the Jut stages, which
fully satisfies me that consumption is no
longer a fatal disease. ' My treatment of con
sum.ption is original, and founded on long es
parttime and a thorough investigation. My
perfect aequaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, kc., enables me to distinguish readily,
the various forms of dimes') that simulate con
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
ly being mistaken even in 4 single cue. This
familiarity, in connectien with certain patho
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con
tracted chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the
blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving
energy and tone to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any
part of the United Stites and exudes by
patienti communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the care would be more certain if
the patient should pay the a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
longs and enable me NI prescribe with much
greater certainty, and dhen the cure could be
,effected withont my seeing the patient again.
