AGRICULTURAL.
Keep up the Productiveness of the Soil.
A writer in Harper's Weekly puts forth
a plea to American agriculturists to thor
oughly fertilize and thus keep up the fertil
ityof their soil, saying that the care of our
land has become one of the chief questions
of the time. If we are to pour out to Eu
rope nearly two hundred million bushels of
wheat annually, the preservation of the
powers of the soil must be the foundation
of our success. But here our inventive
genius has apparently abandoned us. We
have forgotten to apply our intelligence to
agriculture. The waste of land in all sec
tions of the country has be:n without a
parallel. The Eastern States are abandon
ed by their young men for the tempting
frtilitv of the West: vet it is not impossi
ble that industry and economy might make
our land as profitable at least as the sands
of Belgium and the heaths of England.
They have the advantage of a great manu
facturing market, and the protection of an
easy access. The worn lanls of Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia may yet be re
claimed. Wealth must return to the Genes
see Valley, and the decay of nature be
checked in its westward stride.
lie instances what can be done by careful
and intelligent cultivation by remarking
that in some of the most barren lands in
England, around Crow borough in Su3ex,
amidst tho black heath and pinched bracken,
will be found little farms, a cottage, a wood
pile, a garden, springing up in the waste, the
proofs of the victory of labor. The most
worthless tracts seem capable t f cultiva
tion, the richest to be adorned and enhanced
by it, and made perpetual. The Belgian
settler on the shore at Cam pine brings fer
tility to the bare earth : ho plants his grove
of osier, enriches his land by all the waste
of the neighborhood, covers the sand witn
rank vegetation, even contrives to save
money, and rears his healthy family amidst
the thriving evidences of his unceasing toil.
There are everywhere these proofs of the
wonderful oower of human industry : the
German farmer cultivates his mountains al
mnst. to the ton: the terraces ot the Swiss
almost mingle with the glaciers. While in
some regions of the t arth land is wasted and
thrown away, in others it is cherished as a
priceless gem, the chief aim of the purest
ambition. The rrench peasants have near
ly all become land-owners, and the best
legacy of the Revolution to France is its
unexampled army of five millions of pro
prietors of the soil, already anxious tor ed
ucation, freedom and peace.
The Grasses.
We select the following remarks on some
of the varieties of grasses as containing in
formation of a reliable nature, in a clear and
concise form :
The soils b.st adapted to clover are lena
cious or stiff loams. It is a fertilizer, as its
long, powerful tape roots loosen the soil,
admit air, and when the roots dcay, add
largely to the black mass of earth. It helps
destroy annual weeds by its luxuriant
foliage, and by shading the surface of the
soil, increases its fertility. Clover seed
should always be sown in the Spring of the
year in the Eastern, .Middle and Western
States. It is often sown upon the last snows
in March or April, and soon hnds its way
down to the soil, where, audcu uy t ie mois
ture of early Spring, it quickly germinates
and rapidly shoots up its leal staiks.
Mammoth, or Larae Red Clover. This
variety is the best lor plowing under for
manure. It grows five or six feet high, and
its stalks are so coarse and large that stock
will eat only the leavts. By its judicious
use. lands which have been exhausted can
be reclaimed and unexhausted lands pre
served. Green manuring has never or rarely
failed of producing satisfactory ri suits,
Sow in Spring, at the rate of about eight
pounds per acre. Sixty pounds per bushel
Medium Red, or June Clover. This is
by far the most important of all the varie
ties for the practical purposes of agriculture.
It is grown for hay or for pasture, and for
milch cows it is better than timothy, while
it improves the lands on winch it is grown.
It has become an indispensable ingredient
ot all mixed glasses. Sow in Spring, ar
when no other grasses are used, at the rate
of six to eight pounds per acre, more being
required on old, stiff soils than on new and
lighter ones. Sixty pounds per bushel.
Timothy. As a crop to cut for hay, this
is probably unsurpassed by any grass in
cultivation. Thrives best on moist, loamy
soils of medium tenacity and is not suited to
light sandy or gravelly soils. It should be
cut iust a9 the blossom falls. Sow either in
Spring or Fall, at the rate of twelve pounds
per acre, it alone, but less it sowed with
other grasses. Forty-fi ve pounds per bushel.
Orchard Grass, or Cock's Foot. This is
one of the most valuable ot pasture grasses
on account of its quick growth and luxuri
ous aftermath. It is ready lor grazing m
Spring two weeks sooner than most grasses,
and when fed off is again ready for grazing
in a week. It is palatable and nutritious
and stock eat it greedily when green. It
stands a severe drouth, and will endure con
siderable shade. It is less exhausting to
the soil than timothy, and will grow more
in one day in Summer than timothy will in
a week. When sown with clover, it makes
excellent hay, as it blossoms at the same
time, and they should be cut together. It
has a tendency to grow in tufts, which can
be prevented by close cropping, iorgraz
ing it has no equal, and should be used more
than it is. When sown alone, two bushels
are required per acre; if sown with clover,
half that amount. It ought not to be sown
alone except for seed. It is perennial, and
will last for years, but its habit of growth
unfits it for lawns. Fourteen pounds per
bushel.
Toads. French industry and sagacity
take the lead of the world in little things,
if rothing more. Toad culture is a regular
business with the economic people, and the
demand for toads is great and increasing.
The useful little animals are employed as
insect destroyers, not only in the gardens of
that country, but thousands of them, packed
down in baskets of damp moss, are sent to
other countries and sold to the gardeners.
The more observing horticulturists and flori
culturists have long been aware of their
value as insect destroyers, and have utilized
them to a greater or less extent.

suffered very severely from hog disease.
About the middle of May, Mr J.S. Rhem
discovered that his neighbors' hogs were
dying with Cholera, and that several of his
own hogs were . dead, and that a number
were sick. He at once procured a supply
of soda, which he dissolved in - water, and
gave to hisJaogs with their food, at the rate
ot a teaspoonful to each bog, twice a day I
The sick hogs were caught, and made to
swallow the soda. He also placed a supply

Weeds in Root Crops.
The great drawback in raising such roots
as turnips, beets, carrots, fcc, is me iaoor
of clearing out the weeds in the rows, ioo
many have permitted them to grow several
inches, reducing the crop and greatly mum-
plvinsr the labor. Hence the importance of
thorouerhlv clean crround. Those who in
tended to plant crops that require putting
in early, will have to take such land as they
have already prepared ; Dut lor turnips me
soil may be repeatedly stirred with plough I
and harrow for several weeks to come, des-
trnvW mnnv of the vounr? weeds as fast as
. 0 -- j o
they reach the surface ; and this will attord
a good opportunity to apply and intermix
manure. lhe labor thus expended in des
trovinsr weeds will be repaid in the fine
"i-4p u- i ... .Uo,
condition which is given to t he ground.

LIVER.
This important organ weighs but about tlm-e
pounds, and all the bhod in a living person (about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to have the bile and other Impurities
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
ried through the veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dyspep
sia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bilious
ness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick
and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow.
Merrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable; discovery
for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one
to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes
through it, as long as there is an excess of bile ;
and the effect of even a few doses upon j'ellow com
plexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish
all who try it they being the first symptoms to
disappear. The cure of all bilious diseases and
Liver complaint is made certain by taking Hepatine
in accordance with directions. Headache is gener
ally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that
arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is given..
Sold as a substitute for Pills by all Druggists.

Mercury rots the hones, and the diseases it produces
are worse than any other kind of blood or skia
disease can be. Dr. Pemberton's Stillingia or
Queen's Delight is the only medicine upon whfch a
hope of recovery from Scrofula, Syphilis and Mer
curial diseases in all stages, can be reasonably
founded, and that will cure Cancer. flO.OOO will

Referring to the above notice of change, I feel
confident that it will be advantageous to purchaser t
of Machinery of all kinds, as it places me in posi
tion to meet any and all competition. With ray
facilities on the spot, I can manufacture all paru
of the Erie Engines which will not bear freight
charges such as Grate Bars, Stacks, Spark Ar
resters, &c, and handle the Erie City Engines and
Boilers with little extra expense, thus enabling roe
to offer Machinery at better figures to the purchaser
than ever before.
Be sure to give me a call, or write for Circulars,
before purchasing elsewhere.
