Hints for the Season.
WINTER PLOUGHING.

s.,a As all stiff clays are improved BY be.
ing ploughed in time to subject them TO
1.-the meliorating influence Of frost, we
would advise all who may have such
VI soils intended for spring culture, TO
seize every opportunity through the
''wlnter to get them ploughed. and to
- recollect that it is their interest to
plough them rs deep as a strong team
will enable him to do; that in pIoughing
they should see that The work is we'll
done, no balks left, that the furrow
sdsice be so turned as to present the
greatest possible surface to be opera
~ ted upon by the frost, and that the
- ploughing be not done when the ground
III is Det,-as clay soil when turned up in
b such a state becomes a bed of mortar,
whose condition cannot be improved
E'it.uring the entire ensuing season.
$40 FATTENING HOGS.
-'-' As it is an acknowledged fact that
swine fatten much quicker in mild than
in cold weather, The process Of feeding
should be pushed forward with all pos
slble despatch, 50 that the work may
be accomplished in good time. The
iheorist says that Il portion of the food
given TO hogs in very cold weather
n. goes to supply heat to his body, and
that such portion is distracted from
that which should go to form flesh and
fat, and that consequently II takes more
grain to fatten them in very cold than
ii does in moderate weather-the prac-
itical man knows that they do tatten
faster in mild weather; without inquiry
into the why and wherefore. So then,
as we have practice sustaining theory
as 10 the results, all should act upon
the fact.
Regularity in feeding is essen!ial.--
Swine should receive three meals a day
at appointed hours, they should be wa
tered twice a day, have clean bedding
and a warm dry place TO retire and
sleep in, they should be sailed at least
= twice a week, have a rubbing posi- in

ed for Consumption.
The above certificate from the Druggists Of

months after the Cany was placed with them for
sale. Trey have been long and favorably known

satisfy the public that this medicine possesses

We might give the certificates of many Of their

space, theirs is substituted.
The action Of DR.. Storms Scotch Cough Can
dy differs very materially from any other COM
pound ever invented. 1t not only allays Bron-
chial Irritation, but operating as a very mild
purge, it keeps the stomach and bowels in a
healthy condition, leaving the patient an appetite
which few other Cough Mixtures could impart.
We have no disposition to injure the inventor
Of any particular medicine, but in Justice to the
world, we will give it as our honest opinion,
formed by the observations of eleven years in
the school of medicine, that large and frequent
draughts of nauseous iiquid---C Compounds taken
into the stomach from fine 10 fime---must haze a
tendency TO destroy the healthy tone of Mat uital
organ Of the human system.
No such objection can be urged against the use
of this valuable Medicated Candy, for Sugar is a.
greeable both 10 the palats and stomach, and we
honestly believe that this preparation will do all
that medicine can do towards the relief Of per-
sons suffering with Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Bleeding of the Lungs, Pain in the Side
and Breast, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoarseness,
and all other symptoms of Consumption.
