the Winter- , -
Sat of
ihiring the mild weather of December
'aind 'January lust, we heard the fear of.
ten expeossed that the buds of fruit
trees would begin to start; and that
they and other trees would be injured.
ISGell fears will not bear the test of a
little examination. All trees have a
natural period of pest, and will not al
low themselves to be awakened until
they have enjoyed it. That period be
gins in Autumn, at the usual time of
the fall of the leaf,and even before. It,
begins when the buds for next year's
growth have become fully formed, at
the nzillns of the loaves, and the now
wood has well ripened. Growth then
Name, and the leaves begin to full.—
The soft, hazy weather of Indian Sum-
Atter.uuty then intervene, yet it will not
disturb the slumbering tree. A few
• plants, such as daisies, violets, Noisette
and Bourbon roses, the natives of w.irm
-pt climates., may open their eyelids and
. antilo fur a few days, but trees will not
be aroused. They will sleep through a
•
fortnight of warm weather in early
winter, for that is their appointed and
necessary period of repose. Their
plumber is sound and heavy, like that
of it weary man in the early hours of
.41tursery men have experimented with
lilacs, spirueas and similaiplants which
are moot easily excited ; and they find
that if taken up in the , Fall and planted
in a warm green-house, they will not
Mart, for at least a month, although
exposed constantly to light, heat and
moisture. So with hot-house grapes;
they refuse to push until they have had
their needful rest of from tiro to four
rnontbs. Heat of 60° will not start
them during their natural time of rest ;
but after that period, 40° will develop
their buds. •
The Oak and Beech trees drop their
loaves, in the Island of Madeira, even
while the temperature is as high as
that of our own Summer; and they
take a nap of several months, undis
turbed. hy the untimely heat around
.them. In that country, theheech casts
•its leaves in November, and buds out
again in April, making% rest of about
]5O days. The oak sleeps about 110
days; tho button-wood 90; the tulip
tree the grape vine a little less.
So that these trees, the natives of cold
:climates, drop their leaves nearly as
early in warmer latitudes, and rest
nearly as long, as in their native habi
tances. Were we to moralize here, we
-might say that when "Young America"
travels in foreiga parts, he might well
learn a lesson from the trees,and moun
tains while abroad, to strengthen the
good habits learned at home. But wo
cite these facts rather to show that
mild weather, at least in early Winter,
can do little or uo harm to vegetation.
Preparation of Land for Corn.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says :—ln the first place care should be
taken not to stir or plow land at any
time when it is wet. It may be plowed
when just wet enough to crumble as the
farrow is being plowed. And if plow
ed while wet it should be done in the
winter, or early enough in the spring,
so that it may freeze and crumble by
violating time; for, by being plowed
early enough to freeze, the land will be
jight and more easily cultivated.
In planting corn on broken or hilly
land, care should be taken to' run the
furrows that the corn is to be planted
in round the hill sides at a grade of
from one to two degrees descent tow-
Ards the bottom of the hill; for by this
plan each furrow; carries off the water
that falls in it, and thereby prevents ,
the broken or hilly lands from washing
in times of munh rain.
The furrowsshould be from three and
half to four feet apart, according to
the strength of the land. This is what
le called drilled corn, and cannot be
plowed but one way, as the rows or 1
farrows aro to run round the hills.—!
Corn planted in this way makes more'
per acre,.but requires more hard work.
When planted in this way it, should be'
dropped eighteen inches to two and a
half feet apart,according to the strength
Of the land, and when the laud is good

• Important Discovery.
CONNUMPTION and all Diseases of the
Lungs and Throat are positively Cured
by ;inhalation, which conveys the remedies
to the cavities in the lungs through the air
passages. and corning in direct contact with
the disease. neutralizes the tobercultir matter,
alkyl; the cough. causes a free and easy ex
pectoration. heals the longs, purifies the
blolxi. imparts renewed vitality to the nervous
aysitetn. giving that tone and energy so indis
pertstable for the restoration of health. To be
able to state confidently that Consumption is
eursble by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control of niedical-trestmeut as any other for
midable disease; ninety ont of every hundred
cases can be cured in the first sages. and fifty
per cent. in the second but in the third stage
it is impossible to save more than five per
cent , for the Lungs are so cut up by the dis
ease as to bid defiance 'to medical skill.—
Even. however, in the last stages, Inhalation
affords: extraordinary relief to the suffering
attending this fearful scourge, which annually
destrnys ninety-five thousand persons in the
United States alone : 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
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
'irate, the beautiful, the graceful end the
gilled.. By the help of that Supreme Being
from whom cometh every good and perfect
gilt, I a n enabled to offer to the afflicted a
permanent and speedy core in Consumption.
The. first 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
cruses 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 moinseh ; the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy. after Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhala
tion is a local reatiely. nevertheless it acts
eonsti;utionally. and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of thin mute of admittialrat on,
chloroform inhaled will entire'y destroy sensi•
billy in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire
nervous sy-tein. so that a limb may be am
putated without the slightest pain ; inhaling
the ordinary burning gas will destroy life 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 way be immediately detected in
the blood. A convincing proof of the consti- '
tutional effects of inhslation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
air—is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously;
administered through the lungs should pro
duce the happiest results? During eighteen
years' practice. many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have
been under my care, and I have effected many'
remarkable cures, even &Ger the sufferers had
been pronounced in the last stages. which'
folly satisfies me that consumption is no
longer a fatal disease. My treatment of con
sumption is original, and founded on long ex
perience and a thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, &c., enitias me to distinguish readily,
the various forms of disease that simulate con
aumption, and pply the proper remedies, rare
ly being mistaken even in a single case. This
familiarity, in connection 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 States and Canada's by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the care would be more certain if
the patient should pay me a visit, Which
would give me en opportunity to examine the
longs and enable me to prescribe with much
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my 'seeing the patient
