SaWdust for Orchards.

4 year last fall | hauled a load O.
rotten sawdust and threw it around ny
young apple trees. My neighbor over
the way is one of those character,
who plod on in the same old track thai
his father and grandfather did, believing
that they knew all, and more too. My
uighbor said if l put sawdust around my
trees it would surely kill them
lie said be put manure around some Of
his trees and killed them. l told him !
would risk it anyhow"
put fresh stable manure a.
round one row and sawdust around the
next; around another row l put leached
ashes; and the remainder Of the orchard
/ manured with well rotted barnyard II a
uure, and in the spring spread it and wei
planted the ground with corn and pota
toes. The result was that many trees
grew iuzuriently, but the trees where tht
sawdUst was grew the best, the bark be
ing smoother and the trees had a health
Ter appearance. | will also state tha
part of the orchard planted to potatoe
grew greatly better than that part plant
ed in corn. The sod was clay loam.-

Bronchitis, and all diseases of the
throat, lungs and liver cured by Sher-
mans All-Healing Balsam.
RAISING BLOOD & CONSUMPTION
Mr.. Mime, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
ATTACKED with raising blood, followed by
cough, pain in the side, and all the u
suM symptoms of consumption. He en-
ployed two of the best physicians; they
did him no good, and tod him he could
not lire.
Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
formed by Sherman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs. Hayes, 136
Fulton street, and got bottle; it operated
like charm, stopped the bleeding and
cough. Before he had taken one bottle
he was able to be about his work. 1t had
saved his life His daughter, residing at
I27 Myrtle Avenue, can attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of Williamsburg
living in Tenth, near South Fourth ST.,
says-That she had been troubled with a
hacking cough, and pain in the chest, for
long time, which at last become so bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than a year. She then commen-
ced taxing the All-Healing Balsam-
which soon alleviated her symptoms. She
is now fast recovering, and has resumed
her laborious occupation as teacher.
ii years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave-
nue. and 2Ist street, suffered with cough
raising of phlegm, and pain in his side
He could get no relief til he tried the
Healing Balsam, which drove thepain
from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease upon the surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.
PLEuRISY AND CONSUMPTION.
Mrs. Baggas, a lady upwards of 20, re-
siding SO Sheriff street, has for years been
subject to ATTACKS of Pleurisy, Raising
of Blood, severe Cough, Shortness OF
Breath, Pain in her Head and variosu
parts of her body. Her friends believed
past recovery. The All-Healing Balsam
relieved her at once of all her alarming
symptoms, and now she is able to attend
to her work.

Agricultural.
Classification Of Toils.

The want of some system of classifying
soils has long been felt The arbitrary
terms in common use convey no definite i
dea of the subject. A writer in the Far
naer'S Magazine recommends classifca-
ton based on analysis. We are not pre-
pared to say that this mode is at present
practicable, but it is at least worthy OF
attention. His plan is as follows;
[. Slljce0aS soils, contain from W to 20
per cent. of sand. These would be divi-
ded. on the same principle, into blowing
sand. coarse sand, good agricultural sand
and calcareous sand.
.. Lo7ny soils, 20 to 90 per cent, of
sand separable by washing, subdiyided
into coarse sandy loan, fine sandy loan,
rich loam, and calcareous loan.
3. Gsyey S05Is, with 40 to 20 per cent,
of sand; divided into clay loan, clay, and
caleareous clay.
Each of these soils, termed calcareous
sand, calcareous loan, &c, contains 5per
cent of lime.
lTarlcy soils constitute fourth group,
in which the proportion of line ranges be-
tween FIVE and twenty per cent, and are
divided into sandy marls, and ciayey
marls.
Calc0ro0uS soils contain more than
20 per cent. of lime They are divided
into calcareous, loamy calcareous, and
clayey calcareous sands, clays, and loans
the proportion of loam does not exceed 3
per cent. The difference of composition
denoted by difference of name, is similar
10 the sulphates and sulphites of chemical
nomenclature, which contain different
proportions of sulphuric acid.
According to the quantity of pebPly frag-
mcuts yielded by a square yard, or by a
cubic foot of the soil, they may be denOm
mated grauels, or grarelly sands, loans,
and clays.
Vegetable soils vary from the common
garden mould, which contains from 5 to 10
per cent of vegetable matter is about GO
to 20 per cent. They will be vegetable
sands, loans, clays, marls, &c.
Considered geologically, soils may be
classed in three groups:
!! LocaI soils, OF those derived exclu-
sively from the debris of the rock Oh
which they rest, unmixed with material,
Of other rocks.
? E,rotic soils, containing the unmix-
ed materials of several, aud in many ca
ses distinct formations, transported By
currents of water which, at the close OF
what is called the tiertary period of geol-
oty, acted irrespectively of the present
lines of drainage and sea levels
3. AL7trial soils, composed of finely di-
vided matter, transported and deposited
by rivers and tidal currents, in subordin-
alton 10 the existing levels and lines of
drainage.
