Farmers Cseed.-We believe in small farms
and thorough cultivation.
We believe that the soil loves to eat as well
as its owner, and ought to be MANFRED.
We believe in large crops which leave the
land better than they found it, making both the
farmer and-the farm rich at once.
We believe in going to the bottom of fittings
and therefore, in deep ploughing, and enough
of it. All the better if with sub-soil pillow.
We believe that the best fertilizer of any sol
is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intel
gence-without this, lime, gypsim, cone and
green manure, mari and guano, will be of little
use.
We believe in good fences, good barns, good
farm houses, good stock and orchards, and
children enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, neat wife ii
it, spinning piano, clean cupboard, and &
clean conscience.
We disbeieve in farmers that will not improve

CLIPPING HoRsEs-The Rural NeU York
er. in an article on the subject of the cleanll-
ness and comfort of horses, thus aludes to the
method now practised by some horsemen, of
Ginning the hair from the bodies of their ami
mails;
$50 necessary it is considered in Eng land
that the horse should be rubbed dry, that a
practice has been adopted, and now prevails
very extensively, Of clipping the horses-that
is to say, the hair is cut off as close as possible
with pair of shears, and then, with an instrr,-
ment somewhat similar in shape to a curry
comb, containing some burning fluid, naptha.
or spirits of turpentine, the hair is burned of
completely, leaving the body as smooth and as
destitute of hair as a nearly shaved chin. The
rapidity with which the practice has extended
proves its practical value. We know many ole
farmers, who were at first so strongly opposed
to the practice, that they laughed at the bare
idea of the subject, and yet these very men
having been induced to try it, declared tina
their horses could stand as much again work
as with their coats on, and that they would no
let their horses go uncliPPed in winter on an
consideration. Stage coach and carriage horses
hunters, and farmers hacks, are now generally
clipped, saving an immense amount of labor
in grooming.

The Culture Of Onions--Mr. EDIroR.-My
success in raising onions, has led many to ask
chow is it DONE They say the maggot and
the large brown worm have been so destructive
that they have done trying to raise the valuable
Vegetable. In answer to such inquiries permit
me to reply.
There are at least six kinds of onions. But
they are of the same species. The leek, the
garllck, the hill onions, the top onions, the red
and the silver onions. From the fact, that
whenever onions have been found growing
wild. they are always found most plentifully
and most dourishing in muck soil, have taken
the hint to prepare my onion bed with plenti,
full supply of muck first put into the hog yard,
sides, onions bottom better where the GROUND
has been rotted or hard troddcn.
/ cultivate the stop onion" for several rea.
sons. All black seed onions are slow to come
up. The weeds get the start of them and then
you are obliged to get down on your hands and
knees and weed with your fingers. Then
warm weather has come on and the maggot hy
commences with the young plant to destroy it.
And the black seed onion is so late that the
black worm is inst in season to bite of the ten
der stalk, and SO devours the onion.
But plant the top onion" seed, which is al
ready little oniou, you may get them well
growing in A,ril. They come Immediately, SC
that you may hoe them twice or more before
weeds appear. And before maggot worm
time, the onion has got the ground by posses
sion. When the weeds appear, you may marcel
right along with your hoe and go over with I
bed large enough for twenty bushels before
breakfast.
The reason why maggots have ever DESTROYED
the top onion is, that they were planted too late
They should be planted as soon as the snow anC
frost disappears. Some put out in the fall ant
do well. have never tried it. They ar,
sweeter and more juicy than other varieties, anC
can be raised almost as easy a. potatoes.-S

Seed Corn.-A correspondent of the Albany
Cultivator gives the result of an experiment
made in the selection of seed and the result
the present season in raising corn therefrom.-
He says:-"At the time of gathering my crop
of corn last fall, procured number of stalks,
each having two ears upon it. which reserved
for seed last spring. On the 18th of May last,
/ planted two rows of corn 20 rods long; the
seed for which | took from eaaS which grew
nearest the root of the stalks preserved as
above; then planted two rows adjoining, the
seed for which took from the ears which grew
the highest upon the stalks preserved last fall.
These four rows had equal care and atten,
ton during the season. he two planted from
the corn which grew nearest the root, grew
more rapidly and cared better than the other
The four rows were cut up Sept. 10Th. husk-
ed out ten hills from each two rows Oct. 9Th,
and for my own satisfaction weighed the corn,
in the ear. The weight of ears taken from the
ten hills planted of the corn growing nearest
the root was III pounds, while the weight of the
ears which on the other ten hills was 81 pounds
/ am fully satisfied from the result of this expe-
riment, that farmers should preserve, not the
largest ears which grow on the stalk for seed
but those growing nearest the root of the
stalk"
The above is but single argument in IA
vor of the proper selection of the most vigor-
Gus seed for reproduction, and all farmers who
would avail themselves of every advantage, in
their business will give careful attention to Sc
cure the best seed for planting. and avail them
selves of every means possible for the purpose
OF perfecting their judgement in this matter

Brood Mares in Foal.-Animals in this con.
dition should not be solely fed on hay, straw or
fodder as it is too often the case; but should at
least receive two feeds of oats daily, in order
that the materials may be thereby furnished to
keep up the supply of bone, muscle and flesh,
in the mothers, and yield the wherewithal to
the young to form out of. Thrice week the
mares should receive one or two ounces of salt
or the same quantity of the salt. oyster-shel
lime, and ashes mixture. So recommends the
American Farmer.

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PLY &c.

THERE has long existed public demand for
effective purgative pill which could be relied
and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an exten-
siye trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections but all the advantages, Of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatlve
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstrue-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Beng purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use IN any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
pcable are given on the box Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite Iistessness, Irrtability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and LOins; for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; IN short, any
anu every case Wnete Il Stltifc II lCIuHSu.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Govt, DrOpsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Palpitaton of the Heart Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
tite and vgor. They purify the blood and by their
stimulant action on the circulatOry system. reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand eases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason OF every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues once known, the public will no longg
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a
cathartic medicine.
