SIN YEARS experience has proved that for the
~ cure of Coughs, Colds, Consumptions, Asth-

Breast, there is nothing equal to HANcE's Con-
POUND SYRUP OF HoARmouND.
ms medicine has now been in use for six wears
during which time there has been a constant de,
mand for it, and its popularity instead of decli-

During this time many new medicines have
sprung up for the cure of the above complaints
some of which only lasted few months, and 9th,
ers not as long but Hanee's Syrup has readily
gone on gaining favor with all classes of society
until it has now become identified by many ia
miles as regular family medicine.

1t is probable that the numbers in this
table do not err very widely from the true
relative value of these different manures,
SO far as the organic matter they seve
rally contain is concerned. The reader
will bear in mind, however.

while farm-yard manure or rape dust will

2.That besides their general relative
value, as represented in the above table,
each of these substances has a further
special value not here exhibited, Deepen
dent upon the kind and quality of saline
and other inorganic matter which they
severally contain. Thus three of dry
flesh are equal to FIVE of pigeons dung,
in so far as the organic part is concerned;
but the latter contains also considerable
Quantity of bone earth and of saline mat
ter scarcely present at all in the former
Hence pigeons dung will benefit vegeta-
ton in circumstances where dry flesh would
in some degree fail. So the liquid excre-
tons contain much important saline mat
ter not present in the solid excretions,-
not present either in such substances as
horn, wool. and hair,-and, therefore,
each must be capable of exercising as in
Auence upon vegetation peculiar to it.
self.
Hence the practical farmer sees the
reason why no one simple manure can
longer answer in the same land and why
in all ages and countries the habit of en-
ploying mixed manures and artificial COM
posts has been universally diffused."
1t will be seen by the above table that,
so fnr as its organic constituents are con-
cerned, five loads of pigeons dung is set
down US the equivalent of one hundred
loads of farm-yard manure, and believe
it; but, however valuable this manure
may be, we implicitly believe that it is
not more so than hen dung.-and as ev-
cry farm has its stock of chickens, so
should every pains be taken to preserve
their excretions, as without the possibility
of comparison it is the strongest and most
powerful manure made on farm. We
have no ultimate analysis of hen dung,
but the following analysis of one of its
