RAISING BLOOD & CONSUMPTION
Mr.. Mime, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
ATTACKED with raising blood, followed by
a cough, pain in the side, and al the u
suaI symptoms of consumption. He en-
pIoyed two Of the best physicians; they
did him 40 good, and tod him he could
not Hre
Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
formed by Shcrman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs. Hayes, 1876
Fulton street, and got a bottle; it operated
like a 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
l27 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
a long time, which at last become so bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than year. She then commen-
ced taxing the All-Healing Balsam-
which soon alleyiatcd her symptoms. She
is now fast recovering, and has resumed
her laborious occupation as a teacher.
II years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave-
nue. and 2lst street, suffered with cough,
raising Of phlegm, and pain in his side.
He could get no relief til he tried the
All-Healing Balsam, which drove the pain
from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease upon the surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.
PLEuRIsV AND CONSUMPTION.

t4JhNI SUtN--"EsA ySfIMtGtSs
Mr.. EDITOR:-Experiments have con-
WINGED me that in sowing clover seed, there
Is great danger of covering it to deep
When the seed is sowed and covered in
with a heavy, long -toothcd harrow, as it
invariably is, in some sections, it is not
only possible, but very probable that no
small portion OF the quantity applied.
fails to come up in consequence of the
great depth at which it is placed beneath
the surface. Without detailing my own
experience, permit me to present the fol-
lowing extract from a late paper, prom
ising however, that the results given,
though arrived at by more exact and
methodlcal process, agree, precisely, Iii
the main, with my own:
Experiments performed in England,
have shown that clover seed does best
when but slightly covered, or very near
the surface Of the earth. Thirteen com
partments or beds were sown, the seed Ill
each successive bed being buried quar-
ter of an inch deeper than that in the
preceding one; and varying from mere
sprinkling on the surface, to three inches
deep. The following numbers indicate
theuumber Of plants which came up III
each bed, from an equal number of seed,
each successive one being a quarter of an
inch deepcr:-l7, l6, IA, IL, IL, 6, a, 4,
o, Q, 0, 0, o. From no depth, to about
one iuyh. the seed mostly came up
Hence the impolicy Of covering clover
seed with a heavy harrow; washing in by
rain, or fresh earth, or working in by the
crumbiing influence offrost, being better
Where lands are very nearly fiat, or so
level as not to be washed at all by the
water from the melting snow, or severe
spring rains, have found that sced-clo-
yer, herds-grass and other kinds, is well
enough buried by the action Of the frost,
a. recommended above The assures
caused by this principle, if the seed be
scattered on the surface of late snow,
will receive and cover it so that It's ger
mlnat!on will be very certain, but on land
liable to wash, this method is not practi-
cable. 1t should also be remarked, that
the climate Of England is much more moist
than ours, and that consequently, seed
sown near the surface would not be so
likely TO fail from lack of moisture, dur
ing the terminating period, as with us
where few days Of drying sun and wind
leaves the surface almost wholly destitute
OF water That seed is lost from being
sunk too far below the surface, as much
OF it must be when covered with the har-
row, have not the slightest doubt.
\ New ENGLANDER.

NoTE-In Pennsylvania, the almost
universal mode of putting down clover
seed, Is to SOW the seed upon the winter
wheat, in February and March If there
d slight snow upon the ground the bet
ter. The porous nature of the ground at
this season, 10y the action Of the frost, to-
gether with the accompanying moisture,
carry the seed into the soil a sufficient
depth for all the purposes Of termination.
Nowhere are there more luxuriant crops
o! clover produced than in this State
