The effect of agricultural chemistry thus
far has only been to puzzle the brains Of
those farmers who pay any attention to it.
In the present state Of the science no farm
er should subscribe for more than one ag-
ricultural journal. He may thus, if the
editor is wise and prudent man, escape
being perplexed by the glaring discrepan-
cies which exist between any two of them.
1t would be much better for the credit Of
the science, and the interests of those en-.
gagged in agriculture, if our chemists would
consult more together; let the views OF
each, where they differ, be frequently and
severely tested; let there be an interchange
of opinion between themselves before con-
tention in public. Let everything that will
admit of it, be subjected to the test of lre-
quent and actual experiments; let what is
thus proven be published to the world as
correct. A work thus accredited would
be entitled to more confidence than the
crudities we are at present treated to, and
would receive it.

FARMING SCENES IN THE WEST.

About eight years ago, Dutchman.
whose sole English was good-natured
"yes," 10 every possible question, got en-
ployment as stable man. His wages, six
dollars and board, that was thisty.six dol
lars in six months, for not one cent did he
spend. He washed his own shirt and
stockings, mended and patched his own
breeches, paid for his tobacco by odd
jobs, and laid by his wages. The next
six months, being now able to talk good
English, he obtained eight dollars month;
and at the end of six more, had forty
eight dollars; making in all, for the year,
eighty-four dollars The second year, by
varying his employment,-sawing wood
in the winter, working for the corporation
in the summer, and raaking gardens in
the spring,-he laid by hundred dollars;
and the next year one hundred and fifty
five dollars; making in three years, three
hundred and ninety.nine dollars. With
this he bought eighty acres of land. 1t
was as wild as when the deer fled over it
and the Indian pursued him. How should
he get living while clearing it! Thus
lie ulu IL. he nlreS man 10 CledT anu
fence ten acres; he himself remains in
town, to earn the money 10 pay for clear
ing. Behold him already risen degree;
he is an employer. In two years. time he
has twenty acres well cleared, a log house
and stable, and money enough to buy
stock and tools. He now rises another
step in the world, for he gets married, and
with his ample, broad-faced, good-natured
wife, he gives up the town, and is now a
regular farmer. In Germany, he owned
nothing, and never could own anything;
his wages were nominal, his diet chiefly
vegetable, and his prospect was, that he
would be obliged to labor as menial for
life, barely earning subsistence, and not
leave enough TO bury him. In five years
he has become the owner in fee simple Of
a good farm, with comfortable fixtures, a
prospect of rural wealth, an Independent
life, and by the blessing of heaven and
his wife, of an endless posterity Two
words tell the story-industry and econ
omy. These two words will make any
man rich. .-Indiaaa Farmer,

our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best k,70tDn, and has been most
fully tested. The first year, its sales amounted
only to about 1000 bottles; but such was its ass

which it is recommended, that it soon acquired
an immense popularity, and the present year its
sales will exceed $50 900 battles.
Nor is the demand for it confined to the west
