The Rural Register says : Too little re gird is paid in this country to anvaritfiges ihat are to be derived fVoiit ploughing heavy lands in the fall of the year, aiid leaving them h)Ugh and exposed to the action ofr the frost throughout the winter. This winter follow ing is of great service iti bthbr respects ; it tends to rid the lfifid of weeds find of the seeds of nolibfis plants, which woiild other wise germinate, but fthrbhj to a very consid brable exteritj are destroyed by exposure to the frost; So highly is fall ploughing esteem fed In Clandef's that the farmers of that coun try make use df fin instrument unknown among our agricultural implements, but which is especially adapted to elevating the soil and leaving it in ridges so that the larg est possible surface may be exposed to the beneficial influence of winter frosts. The fiction of frost mellows even the stiffest clays, breaks down the clods, and leaves the land in the spring far more light and friable than it could possibly be made with any nnmber of ploughines. PEGGING OATS TO HORSES. The sfitrie quantity of oats given to a horse produces different effects according to the time they are administered. I have made the experiments on my own horses, and have al ways observed there is iu the dung a quanti ty of oats not digested when I purposely gave fhein water after a feed of oats. There is an other bad habit, that of giving corn and hay on their return to the stable after hard work. Being very hungry, they devour it eagefly j and do not masticate ; the consequetlco is, it is not so well digested and not nearly so nutri 'ious.—When a horse returns from work, per" spiring and out of breath, he should be allow ed to rest for a time, then given a little hay, half an hour aftervVard wfitef, and then oats. By this plan water may be given without risk~of cold, as the oats act as a stimulant.— ! JounoVd Agriculture. - TREATMENT OF HORSES' FEET. Mr. Gamgec, Sen., in the Fdinbnrg V*trri- \ tinty. Review for August says : " The day i will I believe soon come, tVhen people will not allow cutting instfuments to touch the soles of their horses' feet, t hate said m for me? papers that the wall sole and frog are so Constructed that they mutually co-opcrltC, and that the intermediate horn, which I have shown is secreted between the wall and sole ' at their union, is also required to be left en tire ; but by the prevailing cusfom of cutting the hoof these substances, which in tUeir na ture are rebounding, springs, ere destroyed or very mnfch impaired.

VENTILATION IX STABI,Etf The great mortality occurring amongst the horses of the French cavalry has been dimiri ; died by more fhan one-half by increasing *he amount of air supplied to the stables, no other change in the management having oc urred. At the end of the Italian war, 10. 000 cavalry were left with no si din- bir mere temporary sheds ; hut the inortuhn was quite insignigcant, and not a simile c;.-e of glanders occu red. The French Govern ment are now trying some experiments with respect to the results of the exposure of hors es to even currents of air, some of the results having p: oved of the most favorable kind \s might be expected, the effects of the im roved ventilation of stables have been still more fully exhibited With" respect to sick and bounded horses. • KEEPING FRUIT.

QUITS. —A coroner's inquest was lately held in the interior of New Jersey upon the body of a man who died from the effects of an entirely vegitable diet. On opening the body, the interior was discovered to be one huge cabbage, but dead to its core from con finement and want of water—a beverage which the patient never drank. The jury rendered a Vebdict of " quits.''' " Quits, gentlemen ! ,s exclaimed the dis mayed coroner, " never heard of such a thing ! What do you mean by it ?" " Why," replied the foreman, "we find that if the cabbage killed the man the man killed the cabbage ; aud if that ain't quits, blow me !" An Irish Preacher was once consid erably annoyed (as many before and since have like-wise been) by persons getting up and going out of church during the sermon. Ilis patience being exausted, he stopped his discourse, and exclaimed : * "Go on, my lad, I've seen the top of your head, that's enough !" The fellow turned around and, with an an gry, menacing look, muttered : " I'll see you again, sir !" " You had better see me now," replied the preacher, " for when I'm in the pulpit I fight for the Lord Jesus, but when I'm out oi it I fight for myself," _ PRETTY Goon.—The following conversa tein took place at a dinner table one day last week between a Lady and Gentleman : Lady— It is astonishing that with an im mense Union army lying in Maryland, these rebels cannot be kept out of Pennsylvania.

Gent.—\\ hy let old Abe issue a procclatria tion forbidding the rebels from en tcring the State. & "tST" A Captain of vessel just arriving in harbor, directed one of his crew, an Irish man, to throw they buoy overboard; lie was then stepping into the cabin.

SdEr Sydney Smith tells cf a maid who used to boil the eggs very well by her mas ter's watch, but one day he could not lend it to her because it was under repair ;so she took the time from the kitchen clock, and the eggs came up nearly raw.

BALDWIN, Proprie AYER'S MM puis. FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY FIIYSIC THERE has LONG existed a public demand fot aii effective purgative pill which could be relied on an sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This hag been prepared to meet that demand, and an extcn 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 junfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicin.'is acrimonious and irritating to the bow els. This is not. Many of them produce so much 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 any 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 cured by them, we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap petite, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, l'ain in the Side and I.oins ; for, in truth, all these are but the con sequenec of diseased action in the liver. As an aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos tiveness. Files, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood, Irregularities; in short, any and every case where a purgative is required. 'J hoy have also produced some singularly suc cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel, Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Fains 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. The y purify the blood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno vate the strength of the body, and restore tho wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even though 110 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. '1 he thousand cases in whicii a phv.-ic is required cannot be enumerated here, but they suggest themselves to the reason of every bi :'v , and it is confidently believed this pili will answer a better purpose than any thing which has hitherto been a\ a liable to mankind. "When virtues arc once known, the public will no longef doubt what remetly to employ when in need of a ( at; rtic medicine. Being sugar-wrapped, they are nl isant to take, and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use HI any quantity. For minute directions, see wrapper on the JP-. FIG FAKED I!Y DR. JAMES C.
