Experience has proved that nearly every Dis.

But are as easily swallowed as bits of candy.
Moreover they neither nauSeate or grippe in the
slightest degree, but operate equally on all the dis

Thus, if tie Liver be affected, one ingredient will
operate on that particular organ, and, by cleansing
it Of an Excess of Bile restore it TO its natural
state. Another will operate on the Blood and
remove all impurities in its circulation; while a
third will effectualIy expel whatever impurities

hence they STRIKE AT THE ROOT OF DISEASE re-

CORN CULTURE,

At the last Fair of the Susquehanne Coun,
ty Agricultural Society, the premium of SIS
was awarded to Rodney Jewett, of Brooklyn,
for the best acre of Indian corn, having near
ly ll9a bushels.
Gentlemen of this society-fn presenting my
claim before you again for the premium on
corn, it is with pleasure that inform you
that by the bountiful bestowments of a graci-
ous Providence my expectations for my labors
have been more than realized. Last year
selected portion of my field to compete for
the premium, and the yield was at the rate
of 2l6 bushels of ears per acre. This year |
have selected another part of the same field,
containing one acre and one perch, from
which have harvested 1891 bushels of ears
of the white flint corn. Last year1 manfred
this piece heavily from the barnyard, spread
and turned under with the sward, then har>
rowed and planted with corn, cultivated it
with the harrow and hoe, did not break up
the sward in the process. This springl gave
it dressing of horse stable manure well rot
ted, which l spread upon the land before
ploughing, about 20 cart loads TO the acre
ploughed it under the last week in April, har-
rowed the ground the second week in May,
tidged it in high ridges (being careful to move
all the ground under the ridge with the plough
in the process, throwing the ridges about 8
to the rod) planted across them at about the
same distance (cutting the ridge down with
the hoe so as to lay the corn as low as if the
ground had all been narrowed level) Soak
ed the corn - hours before planting, in q
strong solution of'copperas and vitriol. After
the corn had been up few days gave it a
dressing of ashes, plaster and lime, with some
bone burned and pulverized. As soon as it
was large enough narrowed Crossing the
ridges) and hoed, hilling but little, which
left the surface nearly even. About week
after the first hoeing | went through it put.
ting on the same composition as before went
through the corn with plough each way and
hoed it the last week in June, elevating the
hills considerable above the spaces between
them. Sowed plaster on, broadcast, one BUSH
ell to the acre the first week in July. Cut il

am firmly of the belief that 100 bushels OF
shelled corn may be raised from the acre
which is one bushel to the square perch, from
these facts, that corn will grow and ear well,
at three feet distant between hills each way
which would give 80. hills to the perch, five
ears to the hill would be ISL ears. Well

two ears will exceed a pint. 1t is not unrea-
sonable to calculate as much as of the lar.

The above, gentlemen, is very respectfully
submitted for your consideration.

MORE ABOUT TIE GOLD.

The ". Y Journal Of Commerce publishes spirit
ed letter from California, dated Monterey, Aug %.
We copy few curious particulars:
AT present the people are running the coun-
try and picking it out of the earth here and there,
just as thousand hogs, let loose in forest, would
root up ground nuts. Some get eight or ten
day, aud the least active two. They make
the most who employ the wild Indians to hunt for
them. There is one man who has sixty Indians in
his employ; his profits dollar minute The
wild Indians know nothing of its value, and wonder
what the pale faces want TO do with il; they will
give ounce of it for the same weight of coined
silver, thimblcful Of glass beads or glass of
grog. And white themselves often give an ounce
of it, which is worth at mint s Is or more for
bottle of brandy, bottle of soda powders, plug
of tobacco.
AS to the quantity which the diggcrs get, take
few facts evidence. / know seven men who
worked seven weeks and two days. Sundays except
ed-on Feather River; they employed on
age fifty Indians, and got out in these weeks
and two days, 275 pounds of pure gold. know the
men and have seen the gold, and know what they
state TO be fact-so stick pin there. / know ten
other men who worked ten days in company, en-
ployed no Indians, and averaged in these ten days
s 500 each; stick another pin there. l know
another who got out Of basin in rock not larger
than wash bowl, - pounds Of gold in fifteen mi
nutes; so stick another pin there! Not of these
statements would believe did not know the men
personally, and know them TO be plain matter of fact
men-men who open vein Of gold Just cooly as
