It sometimes happens, either through the lateness of the season, or neglect in early planting, that cabbages do not head complete ly before cold weather sets in. These are of ten fed out to cattle or thrown away, while by little care they might be made to head during the Fall and early winter. To ac complish this, proceed as follows : First. Make a wide trench, and transplant the cabbages into it, setting them together in a triple row. At each end of the row, drive in & crotched stake, and lay a rail from one to the other, to form a ridge pole a pole a foot or more above the cabbages. Make a roof of eld boards or slabs, one end resting on the pole and the other on the ground,so as to shed Water. Over this lay a little straw, six or more inches thick, and when Winter se's in, put on asmany inches of earth making the sur face smooth and hard so as to be nearly rain proof. At each end, of the row, leave a ventiltaing hole which must be loosely filled with straw in cold weather. Cabbages so managed will continue to grow, and will fill up their heads considerably before mid-win ter. When taken out in the Spring they will be tender, crisp, and beautifully blanched. -— CRIBBING. This disase originates from a sour stomach. First caused by a habit of biting the crib whilst eating, and in so doing, the horse 6wallows wind, which causes the stomach to become sour. Over-eating, and drinking would aid in this disease. A horse with this disease is the tame as a person, who after eat ing, belches up wind from the stomach, and will in time, become a dyspeptic. CURE. —Take one table-spoonful of pulve rized charcoal, one teaspoonful of sal soda, mix in a gill of corn meal, and give three times a week until a cure is effected, which will de pend on the length of time the horse has been addicted to the habit. The horse should be fastened in the middle of the barn floor by a rope from the beam overhead, so that he can not get hold of anything to bite, and feed him from a basket fastened on the head. It is said by those who have tried it, to be a sure cure. REMARKS. —Que leading cause of the habit of cribbing, is in the irregularity of feeding, and in not satisfying the appetite of the anim al. If a hoise is fed liberally and regularly, we doubt whether he will ever contract the unpleasant habit of cribbing. Is it not the neglect of this regularity and supply that oc casions the sour stomach ?— N. E. Farmer. FALL PLOUGHING. The Rural Register says : Too little re gard is paid in this country to advantages that are to be derived !rom ploughing heavy lands in the fall of the year, and leaving them rough and exposed to the action cf the frost through out the winter. This winter following is of great service in other respects; it tends to rid the land of weeds and of the seeds of nox ious plants, which would otherwise germin ate, hut which, tc a very considerable extent, are destroyed by exposure to the frost. So highly is fall ploughing esteemed in Flanders that the farmers of that country make use of an instrument unknown among our agricul tural implements, but which is especially ad apted to elevating the soil and leaving it in ridges so that the largest possible surface may be exposed to the beneficial influence of win ter frosts. T. e action of frost mellows even the stiffest clays, breaks down the clods, and leaves the land in the spring far more light md friable than it could possibly be made with any number of ploughings. _ FEEDING OATS TO HORSES. The same quantity of oats given to a horse produces different effects according to itie time they are administered. I have made the experiments on my own horses, and have al ways observed there is in the dung a quanti fy of oats not digested when I purposely gave them water after a feed of oats. There is, then, decidedly a great advantage in giving horses water before c>rn. There is an ther bad habit, that of giving corn and hay on their return to the stable after hard >v rk. Being very hungry, they devour if eagerly, and do not masticate; the consequence is, it is not so well digested and not nearly so nutritious. When a horse returns fr<-11 work, perspiring and out of breath, he should be allowed to rest for a time, then given a little bay, half n hour afterward Water, and then oats. By this plan water may be given without risk of eold, as the oats act as a stimulant.—Jour naPd Agriculture. KEEPING. FRUIT. We all know the difference in flavor of a perfectly sound and plump fruit, and that which is withered and the flavor gone. To keep well for a long time, it should be kept as much as possible from the air, and various methods have been restored to, by picking in bran, chaff, meal, &c, with different results. Immersion in water has succeeded in some eases with much satisfaction ; also burying in the earth in packages. For packing material when lefl above ground, nothing can excel eommon land plaster as gronnd to apply to the land. When carefully packed, and tie fruit sound, it will last a long time. BLACK KNOT ON PLUM AND CHERY TREES. We have repeatedly examined the fte-l'ex crescences with tlie best microscopes, without discovering the least indication of am insect. If the curculio were present in ninety-nine cast* out a hundred, yet i were shown con clusively thai it is absent in the hundredth*, it is hard to conceive how it should cause the excrescence in this hundredth ewe.—Country Gentleman. Pise aittr pjietta. DRAWING LOTS. A friend of ours was traveling a day or two since in the vicinity of Buxton. While cross ing the bridge he was stopped by some young men, one of whom addressed him as follows : " Say, Mister, got any whiskey with yer, eh ?" "No, sir," politely responded our young friend. " Don't yer never drink whiskey ?*' " No, sir." " We-a-1, that is too bad. I should like mighty well to get some good whiskey, but can't get none here. Tell ye what 'tis, strang er, it's dangerous stuff they have hereabouts. We are bound to drink it anyhow; but we draw lots to sec which shall drink first. The one that draws it goes and drinks and sits down. We all wait an hour, and if he ain't dead then we all drink, if he is we try anoth er place.— Bangor Press. A CASE OF CATECHIZING. A reverend master was lately endeavoring to enforce upon his countraband the truth of the miracles of the Bible. The poor darkey submitted with a proper humility to the re citals and explanations of his teacher, making but one answer to all, " tnasaa b'leve 'em, I b'leve 'em," though he hesitated a little at the story of Jonah. But when the wonderous escape of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was recounted, it was too much for his weak understanding. " What! no burn he toe ?" " No." " Not singe he wool ?" " No." " Den," says Cuffee, " I no b'leve him—nor de fish stoxy neider." SAMBO'S OCCIPUT. It is related of a Southern slaveholder that he was wont to boast of the head endurance of a favorite house servant. Upon the occasion of a dinner parly, he bragged that Sam could not be knocked down by any blow, however severe, upon his head. An athletic man of the party laughed at such an idea, and as Sam was about entering the room with the can dles, lie stood behind the door and struck him a powerful blow on the head. The candle 8 flickered a little, but Sam passed quietly on> merely saying—" Gemmen, be careful ob de elbows, or de lights will he distinguished." STtST A M rs. Dobb made her appearance before the drafting commissioner of Polk co., lowa, recently, with two small infants in her arms, and followed by fourteen other children of various ages and sizes. She said she had come to plead for her husband's exemption from draft, on account of physical disability. The commissioner bashfully suggested that her large family was not very good evidence of disability, and declined to grant her re quest. *.- Ky A Geography seems to be wanted badly down South, as well as several other things. A letter from a Sergeant in the 29th Massachusetts Regiment, nated " Near Nor folk, Va., Camp Misery, fifteen miles from ' the knowledge of God,' May 13th, 1862," says that Captain Tripps company was as well as could be expected, considering their situation. REVENGE. —A man applied to the Drafting Commissioner to have the name of another man placed on the roll of the militia subject to draft. He said that the fellow had got his girl away from him and married her, and he, " meant to get even," if it cost him fifty dol lars. If he could get his rival drafted and shot, he would be contented and happy. IT LOOKS SO.— The redoubtable X., in pay ment for a cigar, pulled out a little swab of gummy, greasy, filthy postage stamps. " Can't you give me hard money ?" asked the cigar lady. " Well, Madam," responded X., " I have seen very little harder looking money than that!" ABUNDANT DISQUALIFICATION " Ugh ! How d'ye make out that you arc exempt— eh ?" " I'm over age, I am a negro, a minister, a cripple, a British subject, and an habitual drunkard." person was relating to a son of the Emerald Isle how one of our generals had gained a victory with ouly a few hundred men on his side, when Pat said : " An' he had several hundred men on his side ?" " Yes." " Begorra, wasn't his ribs 6trong." EST A pig lately walked into a tailor's shop, and before he was noticed by the pro prietur, made his way toward the cutting board—attracted doubtless by the smell of cabbage in that locality. £'-25T Our customs and habits are like the ruts in roads. The wheels of life settle into them ; and we jog along through the mire, because it is too much trouble to get out of them. As no man can tell where a shoe pinches better than he who wears it, so no man can tell a woman's disposition better than he that hath wedded her. XTST A preacher, in a funeral sermon on a lady, after summing up all her good quali ties, added that she always reached her hus band his hat without muttering, sy A noble mind disdains to gain its pleasure from another's pain.

BALDWIN, Miller, Proprie ?SJ9 AYF.R'S PILLS. FOB ALL IKE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC THERE has long existed a public demand for mf effective purgative pill which could be relied on.u sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten sive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success it accomplishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a physical pill, but not easy to' make the best of all pills one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages, of every other. This has been attempted here, and with what success we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for" the patient hitherto that almost every purgative* medicii.j is acrimonious and irritating to the bow els. This is not. Many of them produce so raucb griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from' them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,- unless it arise from a previously existing obstruc tion or derangement in the bowels. Being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in anjr quantity; but it is better that any medicine should be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases to which they are ap~ plicable are given on the box. Among the com plaints which have been speedily eured by them, we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forme* of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap petite, Listlessnpss, Irritability, Bilious Headache,- Bilious Fiver, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side and Loins ; for, in truth, all these are but the con sequence of diseased action in the liver. As ac aperient tliey afford prompt and sure relief in Cos tivencss, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcere* and impurity of the blood, Irregularities; in shorty any and every case where a purgative is required. They have also produced some singularly suc cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel. Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, rams in the Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the system for the change of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno vate the strength of the body, and restore the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even though no serious derangement exists; but un necessary dosing should never be carried too far,. I as every purgative medicine reduces the strength. ' when taken to excess. The thousand eases in which a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but they suggest themselves to the reason of every bodv , and it is confidently believed this pill will answer a better purpose than any thing which has hitherto been available to mankind. When their virtues are once known, the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine. Liemg sugar-wrapped, they are pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no harm ean arise froni their use in any quantity. For minute directions, see wrapper on the P*v. PKKPAHKD BY DR. JAMES C.
