.S.-Since writing the article above,
friend, has who spent the last winter in
Florida, has informed us Of a new plan Tor
killing Bed Bugs, very similar to that now
in operation upon the Seminoles. He says
that if house keepers will take their bed
steads to pieces and place them around an
ANTS NEST, that the little fellows will lnozle
out the Bed Bugs, no matter how snugly,
they may Lie hid, and not only kill them,
bur eat up their eggs. This looks a good
deal like bringing Blood Hounds "to end
the war" and may possibly horrify some of
our exquisitely. tender hearted brethren,
north of Mason and Dixon, who have beg
ged Congress not to let 'the dogs" bite the
Indians. However, as we think it quite as
well to leta dogbite an indian as to let the
Indian bury his tomahawk in the bosoms
of our suffering neighbors wives and chill.

Moffat's Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted for
their name 10 their manifest and sensible
action in purifying the springs and chan
nels of life, and enduing them with re
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub
lie, and in almost every species OF disease
to which the human frame is liable, the
happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknowledge
ed by the persons benefited, and VINO
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrip-
ion. Their first operation is to loosen
rom the coats of the stomach and bowels,
The various impurities and crudities con-
:tantlv settling around them; and tU re-
move the hardened faces which collect. in
the convolulion Of the small intestines.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be-
hind as to produce habitual costiveness,
with allits train of evils, or sudden diar-
rhea, with its imminent dangers. This
fac, IS we'll known to all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death: and hence the prejudice of
these we'll informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded 10 the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of the Life Medicines is
to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder,
and by this means, the liver and the lungs,
the healthful action of which entirely de-
pends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red
color from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before it passes into the heart, be-
ing thus purified by them, and nourished
by food coming from o clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner Of health in the bloom.

ARTICHOKES FOR HOGS.
A correspondent in the Mississippi Far.

A correspondent In the MISSISSIPPI Ear
mer, says:
"One of the cheapest articles which
can be raised, as food for hogs, little
experience has proved to me. to be the
common ground articheke. This sweet
and nutricious root is SO thrifty in our cli-
mate that it may be produced abundant
ly with no other trouble than that of
planting it. Indeed so thrifty and hardy
is it known to be, that l. have heard Sc
veral farmers insist that it yielded better
without, than with cultivation. Itmay be
propagated either by the seed or the root,
though. by the root the most speedily and
safely. On the examination Of one of
the roots, it will be found covered with
germs, or 'eyes,' and from each, if plant
ed separately, there will spring stalk
Hence one of the roots may be cut into
great number of small pieces for plan
ting; and from the rind panied off by the
cook when the article is used for the table,
(where it is very fne) the plant will spring
aswell as.from the whole root. The man.
ner of producing the artichoke which ]
would recommend-alt although very slo-
venly one-is that the farmer would in
the spring, plant the corners of his fences
and the waste spots through his fields with
it. By this means, with no further pains
whatever, except (of course) to keep his
fields closed there will be produced by the
fall, whenfe opens his farm to his stock,
enough of these roots to keep his hogs in
food during the winter. Nor would there
be necessity for replanting in the sue
ceeding spring; for though hogs are re-
markably fond of the artichoke, and will
root to considerable depth for them, yet
they seldom exterminate them from spot
on which they have once taken hold; and
the young plants often spring after all their
depredations, thicker than ever. The ar
tichoke is 50 productive that nearly half a
bushel of roots may sometimes be gather
ed from single stalk. !
Another excellent plant for hogs, and
one easily cultivated, is the pindar or gou-
ber pea. The yield of this pea is most
astonishing, being at the rate of from six
to eight hundred bushels to the acre, i
properly cultivated. A venerable and
experienced planter of Madison county,
Maj. Wick, as 1 have understood, has
been for number of years practising what
cannot but be an excellent system in
the cultivation of this plant. He plants
| It with his corn between the hills, and after
the same cultivation, leaves it untroubled
to turn his hogs upon in the fall.
