WINER,S
Canadian Vermifuge.

TNHE best remedy ever yet discovered
L for all kinds Of WORMS. It not only DESTROYS
Worms and invigorates the whole system, but it
dlssolves and carries off the superabundant slime of
mucus, so prevalentin the stomach and bowels of
children, more especially of those in bad health
The mucus forms the bed or nest in which Worms
produce their young, and by removing it, it is i'm
possible for worms to remain in the body. 1t is
harmless in its effects on the system and the health
Of the patient is always improved by its use, even
when no worms are discovered; the medicine being
palatable, no child will refuse to take il, not even
the most delicate.

A FAIRY TALE.

O did YOU not hear in your nursery,
The tale that the gossips tell,
OF Two young girls that cane to drink
At a certain fairy welR
THE words Of the younger were as sweet
As the smile of her ruby lip;
But the tongue of the eldest seemed to move
As if venom were on its tip.
A, the well a beggar accosted them,
"a spite in mean disguise,l
The eldest spake with a ~scornful brow,
The youngest with tearfuleyes'
Cried the fairy. whenever you speak, sweet
Pure gems from your lips shall fall; LglrI,
IN, whenever you utter a word, proud maid,
From your tongue shall q serpent crawl"
And have you not met with these sisters OF,
In the haunts Of the old and young;
The first with her pure, uusullied lip,
The last with her serpent tongue!
The first is GOOD NATURE-diadem bright,
Ger the darkest theme she throws;
And the last is sLAHDER-leavlng the blight
OF the snake wherever she goes.

| When corr is raised to be pulled while
green for boiling, the stalks will contain
much more sacharine matter than when
suffered to ripen. The stalks should be
permitted to grow after the corn has been
pulled.
Corn stalks may be grown for fodder
with much greater strength than hay, and
entirely capable of supplying food for an
imaIs, without the addition of grain of
any kind, and for mich cows it would be
equal if not superior to any other food
We refer the reader to the method adopted
by Mr.. Webb, of Delaware, for the pur-
pose of making sugar.
As soon as the ears appear, pinch them
off, and repeat this treatment twice; the
consequence will be, that the juice of the
stalks thus treated will contain as much
sacharine matter as that of the sugar can
indeed, we knew Of n experiment
being made, which gave the juice of ele-
ven degrees Beaume, while the juice of the
sugar cane as grown in Louisiana is but
nine degrees Beaume. This mode of
growth, however, will not answer in such
districts as from want of market, find it
improbable to raise corn for the ears
When this mode is adopted the planting
should be early, for the stalks will necessa-
rily require a hot sun to cure them. If
cut too late the sugar contained in the
juice will become acid before they are dry.

TESTED BY THOUSANDS.
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE
PILLS.

NVERY day is this celebrated medicine extend>
LIZ ing the sphere of its usefulness, and every
year adding to the long catalougue of its triumphs.
A Million of Boxes are distributed annually with
~outfulIy meeting the demand. For some time past
the sales have been limited, solely for want of faci-
Iities of supply. Truly this Is a universal remedy.
Unheralded, these Pills have found their way into
the remotest corners of the Union, every where
proving their title as "The Poor Mans Friend
Sick Mans Hope-The Marvel and Blessing of
the Age" For a trifing sum, every individual and
every family may have Health Insured to them for
an indefinite period; and what is life without health
but a miserable existence?
Life is too precious a boon to be tampered with,
by trying all sorts of experiments with it. The sick
should use those medicines only which experience
has shown to be the best,

VALUE OF coBNsTALKs AS FODDER.

VALUE OF ~coBNsTALKs AS FODDER.
The question is often asked, if corn
stalks are of much value as fodder. We
answer, without fear Of. contradiction,
that if well saved and properly used, they
are fully equal to the same weight of good
hay. ~
Last year we fed three yoke Of oxen on
cornstalks, with the addition Of no more
feed than we should have used with the
best English hay. Our mode of prepar-
inn them is as follows:
The stalks were cut with the usual cy-
iindrical machine in pieces Of half an
inch in length, and placed in a hogshead !;
three gallons Of boiling water, containing
one gill of salt, were thrown upon them,
and the top Of the cask covered with a
blanket. The steam arising from the hot
water swelled and softened the cornstalks
to their original size, and when cold, a
little ground feed was thrown upon them,
and thus fed to the cattle.
The oxen worked hard all winter, each
yoke bringing three loads per day, Of
more than a ton each, from a distance Of
three miles. and in the spring they were
as well conditioned as in the fall.

AGRICULTURAL.

SUGAR CANE ON COTTON LANDS
We have recently been gratifed by the
notice from a southern correspondent, Of
the luxuriant growth of the cane upon
WORKOUT cotton ~uplands. This seems to
have been looked upon with much Won
der and admiration, by such as are not
properly versed in the first principles OF
agricultural science. The land which had
become exhausted by the constant crop
ping of corn and cotton, is found to pro-
duce largely ola plant never before grown
upon it. This is simply a good ~illustra-
ton of the beneficial effects of rotation,
one ofthe great and important discoveries
of modern times. The available matters
Of nutrition for certain plants have become
exhausted in the proportion required,
leaving others, however, in sufficient
quantities to provide a full supply to a
different class Of plants. On occupying
the field with these, a luxuriant growth is
the result; which the scientific farmer
would have confidently expected, but
which the unreAecting, more especially
the non-reading portion ofthe community,
look upon with unmitigated surprise
This is one aspect Of the case, and the
same non-reading class are destined to
another disappointment, but in opposite
direction. Like the simpleton who ac-
cidentally found a knife, they will be look
ing constantly at the same place for ano-
ther, which they may never be destined to
find.
II sugar cane be continually ~replanted
on the same field, without the addition Of
manures, this crop, too, will be found 10
exhaust its proper pabulum or f~ertilizing
ingredients, and soon it will yield no more
sugar than it now does of cotton or corn.
Rotation; with the addition of specific
manurss, (such as contain the ~silicate of
potash, the carbonates Of lime and potash,
the phosphates of lime, soda; and mag.
nesia; phosphoric acid, the oxides of iron
&C., &C., the ingredients most essential
to the successful growth of the cane, or
those which are most largely taken up
by it.) will be found the only means of
securing the continuance of good and
satisfactory crops.

CURE FOR FEVER AND AGUE.

DR.. Wright-Sometime since your agent left me
a supply Of your Indian Vegetable Pills. I have
found said pills to be in great demand lately for the
cure of Fever and Ague. MIR. James Boyd has a
son who has been aid up with fever and ague, and
had tried various other remedies, all of which prov
ed of no avail. He determined to try your Indian
Vegetable Pills, and by using one box he is now
well. Mr.. T. Spencer had a daughter, Mr.. Hugh
Groves a son, and Mr.. C. Nichols and three of his
family were all down at the same time with fever
and ague, and had also tried various other reme>
dies without effect. Your Indian Vegetable Pills
may be relied on for a permanent cure of fever and
ague. Yours, respectfully,

raising blood, to such a degree that could scarcely
talk without coughing. A friend Of mine advised

two weeks after its use, find myself perfectly well,

with success.

Having accidentally become acquainted with the

family warrants the assurance that it possesses all

where the medicine was taken OH my recommends
ton. the effect was almost magical, as the Cough
and Expectation of mucus matter bore a strong
analogy to a decided consumptive tendency. l be-
lieve a more general knowledge Of this medicine is
