It Word to Mothers.
THE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
" Fanny," said Mrs. Adams to her sis.
ter, " how do you manage to teach your
children everything f Mine go to the same
school, and are in the same classes, but
they seem so far behind them when they
are playing together. Now I believe we
learned a halt-a-dozen things from Maria
and Willie when they were at our house,
last Saturday. She showed me how to
kill the moths in my carpet,- .by laying a
wet cloth Over it and then passing -a hot
iron over it softly. The steam is _sure
death to them. Then Will got our bucket
out of the - well by using the steelyards and
clothes line. We were at our wits end
because the rope had broken, and we had
not a drop of water to get, dinner with.
How do they know all these things; I
should like to find out ?"
"They read the papers, Annie l" said
the mother, laughing.. "That is the only
branch they take up, different from your
cli=drert. Then I have taught them to
make a scrap-book together, in which they
save all the useful, interesting little items
that would otherwise be lost and forgotten.
I dire say you will find that 4 remedy for
moths' in it among the receipts, and I re
member Willie's telling me of some boy he
read of, who got the bucket out of the well
in that manner. You know I have often
urged you to take a good family paper if
only for your children's sake. The politi
cal one you have can of course not be very
interesting or profitable to them. A good
religious newspaper, which the children
are taught to read every week, is like a
gold mine in your garden. You cannot
estimate its worth in money. They will
gather new and valuable ideas from it by
hundreds; they will learn lessons that will
be useful to themselves and others all iheir
lives ; they will be more intelligent' men
and women when they grow up, and be far
better fitted to take care of themselves in
the world. The reading men and women
get a living a great deal easier than others.
Then, too, the religious knowledge they
gain mayfie,as it often has been, the means
of leading their souls to Jesus. By all
means, Annie, take a religious newspaper
this year, for your familY, if you wear
your Winter bonnet all Summer to pay
for it. It is an easy matter to save out
two dollars from your household expenses,
when you have such an important end to
gain."
Will not every mother take to heart
this lessen, and encourage her children to
read with oars the family paper, and in
struct them how to preserve in a readable
shape the useful items they may find in it ?
And remember, you de a life-long kindness
to every family you can by any means in
duce to take your family newspaper.
I' He -Hung his own Dove."
James, George, Frank, Freddy, and a
host of otherboys lived in a quiet New-
England village. Pretty good boys they
were too, though they were sometimes
naughty and troublesome. They were all
pupils of the same Academy, and shared
the same pursuits and amusements. As
usual with boys similarly situated, they
were fond of having things just alike; so
when one boy bought a beautiful dove, the
others soon procured similar ones. The
silver-winged birds came down by day
and played on the green, and at night went
to sleep in the barns and belfrys of the
village.
One morning George came into the school
room sad and disconsolate, while the other
boys were in high glee over some fun or
mischief, I could not guess which.
4 6 What is the matter with George.?" I
asked.
"Hai ha I" shouted the boys together,
" George has hung his own dave. Hal ha I
good enough tor him."
I asked an explanation. The boys read
ily told that George had a misunderstand
ing with Fred Thompson the evening be
fore, and had determined' to plague him.
SI between daylight and dark he went into
Mr. Thompson's barn, and caught, as he
supposed, Fred's dove and hung him up by
a cord to a beam overhead. In the morn
ing he called Fred to go with him to the
barn, and there they found, not as he ex
pected, Fred's, but his own pretty dave
stiff and cold, his silver wings hanging
down and his bright eyes closed. He had
taken it by mistake for Fred's and killed it
with his own hands.
Theloke was too good. Fred told the
boys; the boys told everybody .else • so
George was long after' known as the fellow
that hung his own dove.
Every boy, and girl too, posiesses a spirit
of peace that nestles dove-like over their
hearts. I say all own such a spirit—l
should say all might own it if they would.
It hovers over them and will rest in their
bosoms if they wish. No one can take it
away, yet they themselves can drive it off
by doing wrong. Nothing more effectually
does so than indulging revengeful feelings,
or performing revengeful" acts towards oth
ers. People may wrong you and you can
still be peaceful and happy ; but whenever
you retaliate that wrong, you will find,
like poor George, you will " hang your own
dove."
Prayer Answered.
" AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM."
A Christian wife had for years prayed
earnestly for the conversion of her husband.
Strong in his pride of intellect and manly
vigor, he looked upon religion as a credu
lity fit only for women and children. The
failings or peculiarities of Christians elksited his bitterest sarcasms, and many a
tear was wrung from her eyes while his
wit was mercilessly used upon some sin
cere, but illiterate or unpolished follower
of Jesus. Her anxiety for• his soul, so
dear, and in such awful peril, made her
own walk and conversation truly blame
less.
She had one child, a daughter, inheriting
hei father's passionate temper. Many and
trying were the mother's struggles with her
darling, in which love always came off con
!purer ; for Mrs. Arlington never faltered
in her firmness—never lost her sweetness
and gentleness of-manner. Subdued by
love Basle (dung to her with renewed
fondness. But whlle she was yet a little
one, and Mr. Arlington still unmoved by
her prayers and tears, the exemplary wife
and loving mother was removed by a few
brief hours of suffering, which gave her
no time for last adieus. But although un
expected, the call found her ready. Her
house was literally set in order; her lamp
Was trimmed and burning.
Bereft of one whom he bad loved ; With
all the strength of his ardent nature, alone .
with his grief, the father felt his burden :
trebled when he folded his daughter in his
arms, and strove to beguile her sadness.
She did not weep passionately for a time,
and then forget everything in play, for her
mother had been her constant companion
and her only playmate; -and she now
brought all her thoughts and desireibto her
father with the same artless confidence,
making constant and pathetic allusions to
her " dear, dear mamma." Bedtime had
been a precious hour to the two, and Mr.
Arlington knew its and feiringßseie might
grieve herself to sleep, he went to her real.
to ,sit with her. The sweat fain nestled'
among the pillows was raised to his with a
smile, then a shadow crossed its brightness
that stirred memories it was agony to recall
—memories of the meek and patient saint
who had borne so much from him for
Christ's sake. "
"Papa, please read me a hymn," asked
the soft voice. " Mamma always used to."
Hymns! how often he had mimicked the
tones of those who had loved their sacred
meaning better than they had known how
to turn it into pleasing melodies for scoffing
ears ! But now the child's soul-lit eyes
were fixed upon his face nothing doubting,
and he read. A sigh of satisfaction flut
tered up from the grieved heart.
" 0 papa, that was the very one mamma
liked best ; and now pray."
He dared not, it seemed mockery, brit it
was hard to tell her his reasons. Essie
brushed away a tear and then offered her
own simple petition, a touching one for
him to listen to, filled, as it was, with art
less, yet confident and earnest petitions for
his soul. She lay for a time clasping his
hand, then broke out in subdued earnest
ness:
" When mamma prayed, she always
prayed for.you; and when she did," hastily
wiping .away" a tear, ‘g she cried, oh, she
would cry so I Eat she does n't cry now;
she is happy now, dear papa, she is happy
now ;" with a sweet, assuring look into his
face, as if she would fain soothe the an
guish that' shook his frame.
A week passed; at every meal she would
slip from her chair, glide round-to him, and
holding his head down to her trembling
bosom, with soft clinging arms, beg him to
say 'grace. Every night, earnestly, yet
with wonderful tact, she would strive to
persuade him to pray for his "dear little
daughter," until at last he assured her that
he was trying to learn to pray. .
td Essie must be discouraged, about me,"
be added sadly.,
"Oh, no," she ansWered, "never. I
promised mamma not to be. "I told her I
would ask God every day to make you a
Christian, and I know he will do it, for he
is so good."
Sublime, childlike faith, to which all
things good are granted. Not a fortnight
had passed before Mr. Arlington, taught of
the Spirit, united the penitent prayers of
deep conviction, to' the child's petitions,
and became a Christian. The, headstrong
spirit of the child had been completely
subdued by her mother's death, and both
have walked since in such a manner, that
the ransomed spirit gone before may well
rejoice over the change wrought by God's
blessing upon her death, untimely as it
seemed to human eyes.
Spring Concert.
There's a concert, a concert of :gladness and
glee, •
The programme is rich, and the tickets are free,
In a grand, vaulted hall, where there's room and
to spare,
With no gas lights to eat up the oxygen there.
The musicians excel in their wonderful art,
They have compass of voice, and the gamut by
heart;
They have traveled 'abroad in the Winter recess,
And sang to vast crowds with unbounded sue-
cess,
And now 't is a favor and privilege rare
Their arrival to hail, and their melodies share.
These exquisite minstrels a fashion have set,
Which they hope you'll comply with and may
not regret.
They don't keep late hours, for they've always
been told
"I" would injure their - voices and make them look
old.
They invite you to,oome, if you have a fine ear,
To the garden or grove, their rehearsals to hear;
Their chorus is full ere the sunbeam is born,
Their music the sweetest at breaking of morn—
It was learned at heaven's gate with its raptu
rous lays,
And may teach you, perhaps, its own spirit of
praise. —Mrs. Sigourney.
How to' Keep Children Healthy.
The mortality among the children in our
cities, as well as in the country, is sad to
contemplate. Is there any necessity for
this ? Are all these children sent into
the world to be thus early cut down ? Are
not nine out of ten of these early deaths
the result ot ignorance.? What parents
ever lost a child, except by accident, with
out thinking ; " If I had treated it differ
ently, it would not have died ?" The loss
of our own three first-born has led us _to
think mush upon this topio, and three al
most always healthy living ones are evi
dences that our studies on, the subject have
not been in vain. A few hints on the topic
may not be without use.
Next to securing plenty of sound sleep,
or rather before it, we place the proper
preparation of food. The kind of food
they eat is not of half so much consequence
as the manner of its preparation. Give a
child a hard apple and let him swallow it
pieces from the size of a large - pea, upward.
The result will be, that the lumps will be
partly worn off by the coats of the - stomach,
and partly dissolved by the gastric jaice ;
but after a time, the remaining portion, of
the lumps will be forced down into the in
testines and go through the length of fif
teen to tweet) , feet, producing at least
griping and irritation all the way, if- riot
diarrhma or dysentery. Bat first serape or
mash the apple to a fine pulp; and it may
then be eaten - with impunity, and with ben
efit,. if ripe or nearly so. -
Feed a child on boiled potatoeS cut up,
or on potatoes coarsely mashed and fried in
fat; and you will be pretty sure to find more
or less lamps of potatoes remaining undi
gested. How can it be otherwise than that
these Jumps must have produced irri
tation in the intestines ? But mash these
same potatoes finely before feeding them,
and then the fine material will be digested
and afford nutriment instead of giving un
easiness and pain "under the apron." ,
The same holds true. of most _meats.
Cat up fine—as fine as shot almost—they
will be digested, and produce nourishment;
while if fed in coarse pieces, they will lie
in the stomach, like a meat poultice °lithe
outside, the cause of uneasiness if not of
inflammation. Feed raisins and nuts to
children, and unless very strong and vig
orous, the chances are that they will induce
immediate sickness or a weakened 'system,
liable to be affected by the first change of
heat er cold.
Chop these same raisins or
_nuts finely;
reducing them almost to powder, and they
may be eaten in moderate quantity with
Impunity. These remarks. apply to all
kinds of food, and, in a measure, to grown
people as well as to chil4ren. '
Many persons are over nice or anxious
as to_what their children eat, and often re
duce them to skeletons, and unfit them for
a vigorous resistance of colds: and malaria
diseases, by.feeding them on toast or rice,
weak gruel, etc. Give them rather a good
supply of food finely reduced that it may
be quickly digested in the stomach, and
they will grow vigorous and be able to
Withstand the changes of Clioiate, and the
exposures to which they are ever liable.
Mothers, consider these things, and see if
they are not true and in accordance with
renson.---ArneriCan Agriculturist,

The City of Richmond.
Richmond, by the last census, had a pop
ulation of 88,000 souls, but the great in
tim; of civil and military officers and refu
gees from other parts of the State,has
probably raised it to a. much. higher fgure.
It is situated at .the head of Aide-water, at,
the km Ails of James Brver, about 100
mites 'from its mouth. The city occupies a
most picturesque situation, being built on
Richmond and. Shookoe hills, which are
PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESD AY, JUNE 29 C 4
separated by Shockoe Creek, and surround
ed by beautiful - scenery. It is regularly
laid out and well built, the streets, which
are lighted with gas, crossing each other at
right angles.
On Shockoe Hill are the State Capitol
and other public buildings. The Capitol
is an-imposing edifice, and contains in its
central hall ouden's celebrated statue of
Washington. On the east of the square is
the governor's mansion. Jeff. Davis's res
dance is a private mansion, which was pur
chased for him by the rebel Government.
The city has many fine public building;
siu banks, thirteen newspapers, and twenty
three churches.
The falls of James River afford immense
water-power, and there are very extensive
factories, including four cotton and about
fifty tobacco factories, flour mills, rolling
mills, forges, furnaces, machine shops, eto.,
the latter of which, and particularly, the
Tredegar Iron . Works, have been of im
mense service to the rebels in turning out
Ordnance and material of war. The an
nual exports of Richmond before the rebel
lion reached nearly $7,000,000, and its
imports $750 000.
But since it'had the honor of being the
rebel oapital its foreign commerce has been
extinguished. Vessels or gunboats draw
ing ten feet can, ascend to within a mile of
the city, at a place called the Rockets.
Vessels of fifteen feet draft ascend to War
wick, three miles below. A canal has been
built around the falls, and above them there
is navigation for two hundred miles. The
James River and Kanawha Canal, intended
to extend to Covington, is completed for
two hundred miles.
Richmond has very extensive railroad
communications, being the terminus of five
roads, running to Fredericksburg and the
Potomac, to West Point and' the York
River, Petersburg and Norfolk, to Dan
ville, Va., to Jackson's River,. by the Cen
tral Railroad , ; and from these the conned- 4
tions lead all through the Southern States.'
Opposite the city are the two, towns of
Spring Hill and Mancheiter.
Richmond'was founded in 1742, became
the capital of. the State of Virginia, in
1779, and in June,-1861 it was made the
seat of government of the "Confederate
States of America," whose Congress as
sembled there on July 20. Its history
since then is only too familiar- to the coun
try. Around the city are various hills,
extending a great distance; on the most um ;
portant of which fortifications were erected
in the days of the "' On to Richmond "
cry.
Petersburg was, at the outbreak of the
rebellion, a handsome and flourishing city
of 16,000 inhabitants. It is situated in
Dinwiddie Co, on the right or South bank
of the Appomattox, at the crossing of the
great Southern railroad, 22 miles from
Richniond, and 10 miles frordJames River
at City Point, with which it is connected
by railroad. It is the third town in . Vir
ginia in respect to population, and posses
ses extensive facilities for business. Yes
eels of 100 tons ascend the Appomattox
from the James as far as Peteraburg, and
those of "larger size to Waltham's landing,
6 miles below. The largest vessels en
gaged in the Petersburg trade , discharge
their cargoes at City Point. Large: quan
tities" of flour and tobacco were formerly
exported from this point.
Petersburg is well built, and contains 8
churches-2 Presbyterian, 2 Methodist, 2
Episcopalian, 1 Baptist, 1 ltoman Catholic,
besides several for colored people. It had
3 banks, several cotton factories, 1 woolen
factory, 2 rope walks, 1 iron furnace, 6
forges, numerous mills, and .3 newspapers.
The falls of the river, 'Alai arrest the as
cent of the tide,. furnish extensive water
power. Around these falls a canal has
been constructed; by which mean small
boats ascend the river about 100 miles.
In addition to the railroads to Richmond
and City Point, Petersburg is approached
by three railroads connecting it with the
South; one South-east to Suffilk and Nor
folk; a second due South to Weldon, Ra
leigh, Wilmington and Charleston ; and a
third due west td Barkesville, connecting
there= with the railroad from Richmond,
through Danville, Salisbury, and Colum
bia, to Charleston. It has long been a
matter of surprise to uninilitary men that so
important a place as Petersburg, and so ac
cessible to our forces, should have enjoyed
such an immunity from attack. •
The Value of Patented •inventions,
There is a class of minds in all commu
nities that affect to despise or under-rate
the value of inventions, and declare with
emphasis that not one patent in a hundred
is worth the, parchment upon which it is
engrossed. This view is entirely erroneous,
and only shows that those who speak thus
at random are, wholly ignorant of the prac
tical bearing of the subject. To all such
doubters the following re - marks,
,upon this
point, of Commissioner Holloway, may be
comitended. He' says that :
" In this" country, in consequence of the.
protection which the patent laws afford; the
inventors have found a ready sale 'of good
inventions to capitalists and manufacturers
who possessed the capital required to put
the inventions into 'practical form. It is
to those manufitcturers that the intro-clue
d= of the seeding, harvesting, and mow
ing machines, thrashers, cultivators, etc.,
is immediately due. With a •single eye to
commercial results, they sent their agents
through the rich agricultural districts,
principally" ef the West, to exhibit the new
machines and teach their operatien. The
agents convinced the farmers that - the say
ing in the ,gathering of one year's crop
would reimburse the •cost of the machines,
and readily made sales upon the under
standing that the notes given in payment
for the purchase ahotild be paid out of the
proceeds of the crop gathered"by their use.
The unparalleled. rapidity with which the
labor-saving machinery of the farm has
been introduced throughout the West, in
contrast with the.proverbial slowness of the
farmers of former times in adopting new
improvements, must be attributed to the
system I have just described. Losing sight
of this practical truth, the goreirement of,
Canada prohibited Americans fro& obtain
ing patents in that province, mainly for
the reason that they could obtain the ben
efit of our inventions without liaying for
them. The result has been that, as it was
for no one'sinteiest to instruct the Cana
dians in the new mechanical:arts of agri
culture, they have plodded along: with the
old tools, and have been' benefited by none
of the inventions which have. Stimulated
the agriculture of the neighboring States.
" We can hardly over-estimate the ben
efit which our country has derived from
these inventions.
"It is stated by Mr.'/Cennedy, in -the
census report for 1860, that a thrashing
machine in Ohio, worked by three men,
with some assistance from the farm hands,
did the work of seventy flails : and that
thirty steam thrashers only, were required
to prepare for market the wheat crop of
two counties in Ohio, which' would have
required the labor of forty thonsand men.
It is, estimated that a single reaping ma
chine,effects the saving of the labor of five
men. With a good reaping machine ten
men will cut, bind, and stack and house
from ten' to twelve acres per day, or two,
hundred totes in a single season—a task
Which fwonld have required, without ma

tured and sold within the last year; and it
is estimated by the manufacturers that
over ninety thousand will be required to
meet the demand for the next year. They
will effect the saving of the labor of. 450,-
000 men. The quantity of wheat grown
in all the States and Territories in the year
1849 was 100,485,944 bushels. The quan
tity grown in 1859 was 171,183,381 bush
els--an increase of nearly seventy per
ceat., or about double the increase of pop
ulation in the same period."
larm, Oarbtu, &c.
flints for the Season.
Deep Tillage:---The present season is
likely to be one of severe trial to' many
farmers. At the West the Spring was ex
tremely backward, and this has crowded
Spring and Summer work together most
uncomfortably. The great scarcity of labor
everywhere, is but to a very small extent
supplied by a most unexpected immigra
tion, and the veryhigh wages demanded
will lead many farmers,-perhaps unwisely,
to "get along" with very little hired help.
Nevertheless it is. likely that prices for
farm produce will rule high, and that the
husbandman's labor will be well rewarded.
Deep tillage and frequent stirring are, next
to' thorough draining, the surest preven
tives against the evil effects of the dronth.
We have known crops of,both corn and po
tatoes greatly benefited by running a lifting
subsoil plow &awn by a pair of horses
driven tandem, deeply between the rows.
132ickwreat May be very profitably sowed
in June for plowing in as a green manure
crop. Two crops may-thus be turned un
der in a season. The grain sawed nowwill
not filhwell.
-june butter is commonly the
best of the year: The grass is fresh and
sweet; the weather is not so hot that but
ter.making is interfered' With, and the flow
of milk is larger than at any other period,
so that butter may ordinarily be made in
larger quantities, and better. Milk should
not be disturbed at all after it is set, until
it is skimmed. It should bept at a temper
ature not lower thanss° : F., and not high
er than . GO°, though, without a cool,
spring dairy room, this is seldom practi4-
ble. The cream ought to be, kept as cool
as possible and : thoroughly stirred every
time any new cream is added. Scrupulous
cleanliness, the use of tin or earthen pans,
scalded daily and most thoroughly, good
ventilation and perfect freedom of the air
from any odors of cooking, putrefaction, or
anything else, but 'clover blossoms or new
mown hay, churning at the 'lowest natural
temperature, - never touching the butter
'With the hands, working out the butter

Cabbages.—At the time of setting out,
dip': the roots in strong brine to kill the
white worms. The application also benefits
the plait Delay setting out the main crop
until July, and then if possible put them
upon new ground.
Carrots may still be sown for main crop
as early as possible, or between rows of on
jons, to succeed them. If - the onion rows
are nearer than two feet leaVe every third
space vacant to cure the onions in.
Turnips.—Rutabagas and all. Swedish
varieties should be sowed this month, best
before the 20th, though good crops may be
gained, sowed any time before the middle
of July. Put the rows far apart so that
the cultivating may be done as much as
possible by horse-power.--American, Agri
culturist.
Wien to Cut Wheat.—There is a right
and a wrong time in which to cut wheat.
As the result of a careful experiment made
by a correspondent of the' Germantown Tel
egraph, it has been ascertained that the
proper time to out wheat is when the grain
in the middle of the ear can be crushed be
tween the fingers, and leaves nothing but
the husk; and a thick pulp, without any
fluid around the edges.
Gapes -in Chicleens.—An observant far-
mer states that gapes in chickens are caused
by small worms getting into the windpipe.
He gives the following remedy : Procure
three or four hairs from the mane or tail of
a, horse, double all in the centre, and twist
the six or eight ends together until they
become, like a wire, stiff and easily handled.
Catch the chicken and insert the doubled
end of the hair-wire into the windpipe and
twist it around two or three times and
draw it out; and the worms will be found
!twisted' around the wire: Repeat this op
eration three or four times, if the can seems
to demand it.
Domestic Wines.—The medical purveyor
of New-York has, upon special request,
furnished many of our army surgeons with
the native wine and brandy, and they have
reported on them so favorably that it would
seem bnly necessary to make known to 'all
the fact that we have, of our own - produc
tion, a cheap and perfeot substitute for two
such valuable and - costly articles. .
Mushrooms,—Atr - the last meeting of the
Philadelphia Horticultural Society, Mr.
wharles V. Hagner exhibited mushrooms
ised in the cellar of his residence. Some
of them weighed a pound and an ounce.
The . cellar contains three beds, ayeraging

Hew to render Leather Vermin•proof.—
By a il f eent dispatch from California, we
notice that some 8200,000 worth of boots
were destroyed by cockroaches on a vessel

thoie" interested in shipping boots and
shoes,leather in bulk, or manufactured in
any of its varieties, to know that an appli
cation of castor-oil will render leather ver
min-proof, at the same time it is as . good a
dressing, if not better, to preserve it as
there is known. It may be mixed "with
tallow t .or other 'oil if preferred, i say halt
and half. Hiving resided ill Cuba (where
roaches, rats - and other vermin ;abound),
abound),
and ,having had care of leather belting,
fire-engine hose, horse harness, etc., I have
found its application entirely effectual; no
vermin will touch it.—Scientific Amer

Preservation of Purs.—Shake them well
and tie" them up in a cotton 'or linen bag, so
that the miller cannot possibly enter, and
tile articles will not be injured, though the
bag is hung in a wood-house or garret.*
This is _cheaper than to build cedar closets,
and better than to fill the bed-clothes and

How to grow Helms, Cucumbers, Squash-
es,_etc.—As soon as the seeds begin to crack
the ground in upward vegetation, lay over
each hill half a newspaper or other sheet, a
little raised in the centre, and place a hoe
ful of dust on each corner, so that the
winds cannot blow the papers away. Keep
them on till the third leaf grows, and no
bugs will trouble the vines, and they will
grow as fast as in a hot-bed.
Pumpkins.—The cornfield is not the
only place on the farm where pumpkins
will grow. Planted in well prepared holes,
three feet in diameter, on sunny, stony
banks, or in spots where the grass cannot
be cut, and cultivation of other crops is
difficult, much good fruit may be secured.
They do well by themselves in hills five or
six. feet apart each way.
Nadel Farmer.
J. Ross McLean, of Salem townkliP)
Mercer County, Pa., owns and works a
farm of fifty acres, and he is the oily
farmer in that township who is assessed
with an income tax under the Internal Rev,
nue law. The secret is that-he is an intel
ligent, scientific aoriculturist and makei
every rood of ground . count. Naturally his
soil is no better than his neighbors, and
yet he makes more clear money off 50 acres
than others do off 150.
Soiling Cows on Dairy Farms.
The feeding of milch cattle in a way to
save all their manure, and to enable them
to make the most economical use of all that
grows upon the land devoted to fodder
crops, is accomplished by what is termed
"soiling. " This is seldom practised in this
country„not front any lack of 'minute ex
planation of the system and of its advents!
ges by the agricultural press, and not by
reason of there existing any reasonable
doubts whether> it would succeed in this
country. ' It has been successfully prae
'tised by farmers in many different locali—
ties. Nevertheless few femora- can be
brought to believe that `the benefits are so
great as they really are, and they seem to
feel as if they could not, spare the labor re
quired to take care of the stook in stables.
Besides few farmers have buildings adapt.
ed to the purpose, and so centrally situated
that the labor of hauling. the fodder from
the fields to the cattle is not a great bug
bear. Soiling cows will pay, and may easi
ly be done on many dairy farms. The
advantages may be briefly enumerated, viz.:
L The cows are kept in better condition,
give more milk, are kinder, more docile )
and hold out in milk longer, than if allowed
to roam.
2. The interior fences of a farm may be
entirely dispensed with; a large yard being
provided for the cows-to take exercise in
for an hour or two in a cool part of each
day.
3. The entire - product of the land is se
cured and fed to the cows. None of the
crop is spoiled by - the droppings of animals,
nor hurt by their - tread, nor by being lain
upon; nor is it stinted in its growth by
close cropping during the heat of Summer
when it can least endure this.
4. Both the solid and liquid excrements
of the animals are saved without loss, to be
applied to the soil at the best season, and
in the best form, according to the judg
ment of the farmer—an advantage which
outweighs all others.
We do not propose to argue the question
of expediency.. -The advantages above
stated are obvious facts, - or any one may
prove them such after having bad sufficient
trial to learn how to manage with reasona
ble economy.
FE GRANT SOZODONT.
Only True Dentri'fioe Known.
Theonblic have long been want of some convenient,
sale and beneficial Dentrifice, which could be relied on as
having a healthy and preserving effect on the teeth and
gems. Hundreds of worthless preparations have already
been offered as such, in the foam of powders, pastes and liquids,
when a trial has only proved
.theni.liaturions to the enamel
of the teeth, or :else too inconvenient And unpleasant for
daily use, so indispensable to the preservation of the teeth.
The Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a Beautifyer.
and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination, every
ingredient of which is known to have a beneficial influence
on the teeth and gums, imparting a. delightful and refresh
ing taste and feeling to the month, correcting all disagreea
ble odors analog from decayed fteeth, use of tobacco, flc.
Its fragrance and convenience make it a pleasure to use it;
it Is perfectly free from all acids or other ingredients having
the least tendency to Winn, the enamel.
This popular Dentrifice Is now used and recommended by
many of the first Dentists in the country, as well ashy many
of the most eminent Divines, Physicians, Chemists andficien
lift Gentlemen of the day. .
-The following eminent clergymen and their families, of
New-York City, together with hundreds of others, having
used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and ix,
valuable qualities, and give it their most cordial commends..

into facts and established a basis from which we need not
err. We are not surprised at such facts as the following

Nffer-Bxoyoao, Maas., Nov. 24,1863.
Sm havebeen afflicted many years with severe
prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a
general disordered system. Physicians and medidnoi fatted
to relieve me. While visiting some friends in New•fork
who were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me
to try them. I commenced with a small wine-glaasfttl after
dinner. Feeling better by degrees, la a few days I was
astonished to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left
me, and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being.. My appetite and
strength have also greatly improved by the use of the Plan
tation Bitters. . Respectfully, Juni= Straimun
