quart of the seed in soft soap, and then dried
it in ashes, in pursuance of recommends

The other quart we treated as recon-

failures We have laid aside northern farm

previous to planting, to save it from the de
predations Of crows, birds and racoons.

Poultry Manure.

This is the most valuable Of the farm
manures and is entitled to great care in It's
collection and use. Beyond the amount OF
water it contains, it is as valuable as guano,
and therefore should never be sold by prac-
teal farmers to morocco dressers, at 25 cents
per bushe. The poultry house should be
underlaid with charcoal dust when it can be
procured, so as to receive the hen manure as
fast as made. The surface Of this charcoal
dust should occasionally be raked or moved
off to one corner, with portion of the dung.
This NAV be continued until the manure i
required for use. when it should be vel
mixed with ten times Its Sulk of soil before
applied to crops. Where charcoal dust can
not be procured, we'll decomposed swami
muck, plaster of paris or even alimoniou0 clay
NAV be frequently busted over the floor ofth
poultry house to be mixed with this manure
The object Of all this is to receive and retail
the ammonia, so as to prevent its liberatlo
from iniuring the health of the inmates ofth
nonltry Iouse. All animals, man included
snfar from breathing the effiuvia arising frol
their excretia, and this is particularly true
the fea,hered tnSes. There natural habI
in the wild state case them to pass throug
the upper strata ofthe atmosphere, and wi
such velocity as to readily rid themselves
The noxioas gases given of the surface Of th'
bodies, and to 60 beyond any deleterious
nuence from the fumes Of their eXcreta'
We should therefore, in poultry houses, ma
such arrangements as will prevent the ponl
from inhaling these deleterions gases

Many years of trial, instead of impairing the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for
it an appreciation and notoriety by far exceed
ing the most sangune expectations ofits friends.
Nothing but its intrinsic writes and the un-
mistakable benefit conferred on thousands Of
sufferers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many inferior RENE
dies thrust upon the community, have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they
can never forget, and produced cures too nu-
merous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
| While it is fraud on the public to pretend
that any one medicine will infallibly cure
still there is abundant proof that the Cherry
Pectoral does not only as a general thing, but
almost invariably cure the maladies for which
it is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the log cabin OF
the American Peasant, to the palaces of Euro
pean Kings. Throughout this entire country
