ToMAToEs--EeG PLANT--RED Pep
PERs.--Sow; seeds of these in pots or
boxes, in warmly southern exposed
windows, to produce plants to be set
ont, when all danger from frosts are
over, in order to produce early crops.
If placed in pots, an oyster shell or
piece of broken crockery should be
pnt over the hole in the bottom to in
sure drainage, as stagnant moisture is
apt to injurc, if not destroy the roots
Of the plant. If a box be used, bore
a hole in the bottom 1 inch, or 4 OF an
inch in diameter, and cover as recon-.
mended for the pots. The earth used
TO fill the boxes or pots, should be a
rich mould fertilized with organic ma
nure Of some kind, so as to secure an
early and vigorous growth ofthe plant.
The fertilization OF the soil may be ef-
fected by dissolving half an ounce Of
puano in water to each large sized
pot or box, if the latter does not con-
tain more than 200 square inches
The solution to be poured over the
surface; or, the same effect may. be
produced by making a decoction OF
seven parts fresh horse dung and one
part SCOT, and watering three or four
tunes with it.

PLANTING EARLY PoTAToEs.--As
soon as the weather is open aud the
frost is entirely out Of the ground, is
the time to prepare your ground for
and to plant potatoes for an early crop.
Select the dryest and best exposed bed
in your garden--a light sandy mould
if possible. Manureit broadcast with
about half the manure you intend to
apply. Dig that in to the depth OF
the spade rake finely; then lay of
rows four inches deep, 8 feet apart
then strew the residue of the manure
along the rows and cover. Then give
the bed broadcast mixture, compri-
Sed of 6 parts ashes, 1 part plaster
and one part salt, taking care to give
the drills full dusting. The vines,
when they come up should receive
another dusting, as also at each work.
ing, and once a week after being laid
by, until the vines 60 out Of bloom. -
As to working the potatoes, it is suf-
ticient to say that they must he kept
clear of weeds and grass and the earth
open, from the time the plants are
from 8 to 8 inches high until laid by.
The dusting, with the prescribed mix
tura must be done early in the morn
ing while the vines are wet, SO that
portions Of the mixture may adhere to
them.
With regard to the sets they should
be so cut as to have two eyes to each.
AS each set is cut, it should have the
wounded part rubbed in plaster Of
ashes and put away in a cool dry
place where they would not be subject
to freezing. If cut two Or three days
before being planted, so much the
better.

VAN1LLA.-The Vanilla, SO much
priced for its delicious flavor, is the
product Of a vine which grows to the
top of the loftiest trees. It's leaves
somewhat resemble those Of the grape;
the flowers are red and yellow,
and when they fall off are sue
ceeded by the pods, which grow in
clusters like our ordinary beans; green
at first they change to yellow and fl.
nally to dark brown. To be preserved
they are gathered when yellow and
put in heaps for a few days to ferment.
They are afterwards placed in the sun
to dry, fattened by the hand, and
carefully rubbed with cocoa-nut oil,
and packed in dry plantain leaves 30
as to confne their powerful aromatic
odor. The vanilla bean is the arti-
eused to scent snuff, flavorice-cream,
jellies, &c. The plant grows in Cen
tral America and other hot countries.

COMPARISON OF AMERICAN AND
ENGLISH IRoN.-American iron has
been tested with English in hundre DIS
of experiments, and it is believed has
always been approved: Railroads
have been laid down with both kinds,
side by side, and equally used, and the
American has been estimated, in some
INSTANCES, at double the worth Of the
English. 1t has been tested in ordi-
nance. An eleven inch gun, made OF
American iron at the Washington ma

mander Dahlgreen, was fired over
1000 times, showing four times the

TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASE.


hrs. L. & j. W. BARBER, will devote special
~ attention TO the treatment of Chronic Dis
cases. And believing, as we do, that no Physic-
ian who is engaged in the active duties of gen
eral practice, has time to give these diseases that
attention which they must have, if they ore sue
cessfully treated, one Of this firm will hereafter
devote his exclusive attention TO this branch of the
profession and from our experience heretofore.
we can assure the public that a great majority Of
Chronic Diseas es can be cured. Below we mention
few that we treat with success.
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Ep-
iepsy, Scorfula, Spinal diseases, Uterine Affect
ions, Cancer Fistula, Piles Ulcer, Diseases of the
Eye, Skin, Kidneys, &c. In tho treatment of
Cancer, we do not rely on the knife, for the reas-
on that it will not permanently cure this disease
We have for several years treated Cancer by the
local application Of medicines that will remove
the entire cancerous mass, and also the roots,
(Which cannot be removed with the knife,) then
heal the ulcer with suppuraton Every case of
Cancer, unless it has been standing so long that
the system has given way and become impregna-
ted with the disease, can be speedily and perma-
nently cured this way.
We treat Fistula upon the same plan, except
where the case is obstinate, when we have recourse
10 the ligature and with complete success in eve
ry case.
Persons wishing treatment for Cancer or Fistu-
la, should come to Chillicothe, where they will
have to remain short time, as they should be
seen daily while under treatment. We would
also call especial attention to the treatment of dis
eases Of the Throat and Lungs, by the Initiation
of medicated Vapor; the old plan of taking the
medicine into the stomach has always been un-
satisfactory, but by Medicated Inhalation we can
bring the Medicated Vapor in contact with the
Mucous Lining of the air passages and air cells,
and it lis very efficient in removing diseases of
those parts. For removeing diseases ef
the Throat, Bronchitis and Asthma, this
treatment is almost infallible.
We make extensive use Of Electrieity,in the
treatment Of all nervous diseases. Paralysis will
be greatly benefited, and if of recent standing,
permanently cured by its use.
As above stated, one member of this firm will
give exclusive attention to the treatment ofthis
class Of diseases. He will visit patients, when de-
sired, in this or the adjoining counties. The
other will always be found, when not absent on
professional business, at their Office and residence
on Paint street, nearly opposite the Market House
Chillicotho, Ohio. ~
