How We Did IT.

Some twelve years since, my father
bought n farm, which was " worked to
DEATH" as the neighbors said. Well, we
found out how it had been worked, when
we put heavy team and new pillow at
six inches below the four inches worked
to death. Our neighbors prophesied a
failure. and when ouricrops We'd with and
excel!ed their own, they were full Of sur
misses as TO the wonderful strangers SO
successful in renewing such till killed soil.
e What manure did you put on that
field 90 a neighbor asked my father one
morning, as they were looking at the deep
green waving corn, growing so rankly
therein.
IS Plo.Ued deep, plo,Oed Deep" answered
he; ID" there is nothing like blowing deep,
and thoroughly pulverizing the soil, to
bring good crops in all kinds of weather"
That field has been used as a meadow
some fifteen years. producing half ton
Of hay TO the acre. We broke itup deep;
planted one year. sOwed oats the next
with clover and timothy, and the third
. year, cut two tons to the acre.
Another field had been used for oats
the same length of time. We plowed,
but had poor oats, as SO much deep new
soil was turned up, never having been
exposed to The Gather, hard and al
most impenelrable crust having been
formed. at the depth Of three or four in
ches, where the pillow had scraped fol
years.
AS soon as possible we grassed it, and
had excellent meadows, where others
thought nothing but bad weed called
devil-gutcould grow. sta-;
All the pasture land had a vigorous
growth of elders on, but we fixed them
by blowing and carefully picking up the
roots. drawing them in piles to some
large log or stump and enjoying beau.
tiful bonfire after they had become well
dried. So ended all trouble with our
elders" but not betters. as they had
failed to establish themselves in our esti-
mation.-Cio Correspondent Ohio Farmer.

GROUND AND UNGRoUND FEED.-Those
experienced and skilful farmers, the Leb
anon N. Fl. Shakers, state that more
than thirty years practice leads them to
estimate ground corn, at one-third higher
than unground. as food for cattle, and es-
peciaIly for fattening pork. The same
experience also induces them 10 put a
higher value upon cooked than upon raw
meal and for fattening animals, swine
particularly. they consider three bushels
of cooked meal equal to four of raw
Until within the last three or four years,
they have fatlened annually. for 80 years,

into notice by the aid of printer's ink, with Q
zeal worthy Of better cause, notwith standing all
that has been said and the essays written against
their use by the profession, and out of the pro
tfession. Indeed so prevalent has, become the
mania for quackery, that recent writer, o man
of eminenee in the medical profession strongly
advises that the subject be let alone. 1t exists,
says he, Gin every walk and occupation of life,
by the exercise of which men procure bread, !"
and thinks it time wasted to endeavor to stem
the tide. f.-,ss.
tfectual method of counteracting this strong cur
rent of quaekery was to place in tho hands of the
people, regular medicines, preparedin accordance
with the rules of pharmacy.
When our prairies and mountains catch fire,
and the inhabitants behold the devouring ele-

counter-fres which rush forth to meet the ap-

of its course. Now this is precisely what we arc
trying to do. The counter fire which we are
kiudling consists in presenting to the public, mo-
laws of Science, from the bast of drugs, and I'M
der the supcrintedncnce of irregular physician.
For testimonials of their efficacy in the treat
ment of the various diseases for which they arc
recommended, we would refer to all that have
ever used of them. We bring forward no certi-
fcates from. obsure individnals, stating that
they have been cured of all manner ofincurable

of tho community to try to palm off such stuff
