more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire 70 reside on inc

that the officers and volunteers emitted 70 bounty

Hobensack's Liver Pills.

No part of the system is more liable to
disease than the LIVER, it serving as fill
terer to purify the Blood, or giving the
proper secretion to the bile; so that any
wrong action of the liver effects the other
important parts of the system, and results
variously, in Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
Dyspepsia, &c. We should, therefore, watch
every symptom that might indicate wrong
action of the Liver. These Pills being COM
posed of ROOTS and PLANTS furnished by
nature to heal the sick: Namely, 1st, An
EXPECTORANT, L, which augments the se-
cretion from the Pulmonary mucus mem

CLEARING GROUND OF THIsTLEs.-If
thistles be cut off while in bloom, the
open hallow stem at the surface Of the
ground will receive water, and be de-
stroyed by rotting. Parasite plants in
clumps, should be cut off at this time
and so heavily salted as to prevent re
growth. Indeed, piece of soil filled
with weeds or foul grasses, may be i'm
proved in value for next years use, by
being coated with common salt so heav-
lily in August, as to destroy all vegcta-
ton. Place the salt on the surface OF
the ground, and in such quantities as to
denude it of all vegetable growth. This
mal-cffect will last but for one season
The constituents of common salt (chlor.
inc and soda) will be separated in the
soil, leaving it clean and ready for i'm.
proved culture early in the spring. A
slight dressing of lime in early spring
will always ensure an absence of an,
deleterious effect from the previous salt

When you first put yoke on your

an apple or soft corn, (soft corn is al
lowable in this case Then they will
hold up their heads and be glad to fol-
low you No whip will be needed at
the first yoking. Let the yoke and the
corn be associated in their minds, and
they will never be shy of the yoke ; but
if you make use of force alone, they will
hold down their heads to keep them Out
of the way of the blows. After yor
have taught them to follow you arounc
in the yoke, and that it will not injur'
them to carry it, you can hitch them o;
before the older oxen, and make then

Has- A writer Of the June number Of
The Farm Journal, gives his experience
OF the injury of Oats Straw when fed to
mich cows. He states that in the early
part of June, his cows ate of the oats
straw litter, and although fresh their
milk Immediately failed, and was not
restored until the cattle were entirely
excluded from the straw. This, we be-
lieve, accords with the universal opinion
among farmers, Of the deleterious effect
of this straw upon cows in their milk
but it is we'll enough to mention the
fact, in order that, through inattention,
others may not suffer from negligently
allowing their cattle to feed upon it.

Apples for Hogs.

One of our most valuable exchanges,
has the experience of Robert Tyton, Of
Westmoreland, Pa, detailed at length,
in regard to the value Of apples for hogs.
"After an experience of several
wears, | have come to the conclusion
that although apples possess fattening
qualities, they do not possess them in a
sufficient degree to warrant the asser-
ton that alone, they can be used with
success in fattening hogs. Hogs will
sometimes thrive well upon them, and at
other times will lose flesh if confined to
them exclusively as food.
Three years since, having an abund-
ant crop, concluded to test their value
as food in various ways. First, 1 tried
them in their natural state, as they came
from the orchard. For short time the
hogs dcvoured them grcedily, but did not
thrive.
l next threw them into the hogsheads
in which my slops are kept, permitting
them to remain there for several days
before using; by which time many of
them Especially those partly decayed
when thown in) were well saturated with
the slop-water. They were then fed |;
but the hogs did not thrive any better
than before the apples were given them.
/ then erected temporary boiler in
which the apples were placed, mixed
with about one-half the quantity of corn
meal I usually led the hogs. The whole
was then boiled, until the apples were
soft enough TO be broken by stirring
they being of the sour kind. This mix
ture was then ed in the same quantity
as the meal mixture alone, had beer
formerly. On this food the hogs grew
larger and fatter, observing which,
persevered in it until killing time, whel
l found them in quite as good condition
I think, as | could have had them b,
feeding them in the usual way. BY thi
plan ! saved one-half M corn meal al
the expense of the wood necessary tc
boil the apples. Whether anything was
saved by the experiment, am not pre-
pared to say, as | kept no account o
the wood burned.
From the above experiment, / am in
cilned to believe that apples in thei
natural or raw state, do not possess suf
fcient nutrition to fatten swine but
steamed or boiled, and mixed with mea'
they may be used to advantage, provid
ed wood is not too high in price,
