PINE HILL, March 4, 1854
DEAR Sir! / have been subject of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last FIVE years. Such was my
condition fJr twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said | must die. While in this con-
dition Isyas carried TO the watering places in Yir
gina, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect of
some Chalybyate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
iciie for my child and myself There were several
of the village physicians in the store and of them
seemed to take some interest In my case, and after
asking me some questions said he had been a dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the of
e noofands German Bitters," prepared by you, and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my ROOM and insisted much
that would try them that l asked him to get me
one bottle. He did il, and commenced taking it as
directed and was more benefited by 1t than all the
water and medicine had ever taken.
After reaching home, one OF my neighbors came to
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptc,)
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his He has often called
on me for more of the same kind of medicine saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken, but have not been able TO get any more for
him or myself since viii you, therefore, please ship
me dozen more as soon as possible.
Respectfully yours, W. SMITH.

HAIR REsTQRATIvE.

TNHIS Astonishing and UnequaIed prepa-
- ration, turns hair back to its original color,
after having become gray, and reinstates it in all IFS
original health, lusre softness, and beauty; re-
moves at once dandruf from the scalp, aud all un
pleasant itching as well as all cutaneous eruptions
such as Scald heads, &c. and hence creates per-
fectly healthy state of the scalp, by acting stimu-
anand tonic to the organs necessary to supply color
ing matter to the hair, and completely restores them
to their original vigor and strength and thus pre-
vents all tendency TO become gray 1t also prevents
the hair from becoming unhealthy, and falling off,
and brings it out where it is gone by resuscitating
and coorng matter to it. and hence acts as perfect
Hair Invigorator and Tonic.

GENTLEMEN: Nothing but duty and sympathy
that feel to communicate to others who afflicted
as have been would induce me to give this public
acknowledgment of the benefit have received from
Prof Woods Hair Restorative. When first COM
menced using it my hair was quite gray and in spots
entirely bald have now used the Restorative about
five months, and my hair is entirely changed TO its
original color brown, and the new hair is over three
inches in length on the spots where 1t was bald.
have also been much gratfed at the healthy mos-
ture and vigor of the hair which before was dry and
it has ceased TO come ont as formerly.

Prof o. j. wooD: With confidence can recon-
memo your Har Restorative being the most etica-
cious article ever saw. l have used the Wahpene
and many her preparations of the day, all to no eff
feet. Since using your Hair Restorative, my hair
and whissers, which were almost white, have gradu-
ally grown dark, and now feel confident that few
more applications will restore them 10 their natural
color. 1t also has relieved me of all dandruf and
unpleasant itching, so common among persons who
perspire freely. J. G. KILBY.

Mr.. J. Il. Martin, Of Lexington, Kv.,-
gives the following directions how to dc.
termine the height colt will attain when
full grown.
81 can tell you how any man may know
within half an inch, the height colt will
attain when full grown. The rule may
not hold good in every instance, but in
nine cases out Of ten it will. When the
colt gets to hc three weeks old, or as soon
as it is perfectly Strengthened in its liml.s,
measure from the edge of the hair on the
hools to the middle OF the first joint, and
for very inch, it will grow to the height
of a hand, or four inches, when il is ma.
tured. Thus, il this distance he found sin
teen inches, it will make horse sixteen
hands high. BY this means man may
know something Of what sort Of n horse,
with proper care, he is to expect from his
colt. Three years ago bought two very
shabby looking colts for twenty dollars
each, and sold them recently for $780,
So much for knowing how to guess prop

MILLET AS FODDER,

10 secure variety of fodder ought TO
be an object Of the farmer, as well as to
secure large amount. Cattle will often
eat todderng Of poor meadow hay with
as much relish as they will the best tmo
thy or clover; and this is evidence suffi-
cient of tie necessity of variety. But if,
when we furnish varie,y, We can SECURE
grasses of II nutri,ive character, that will
at once crafty the appetite and contribute
to the muscular system, then we intro
duce fitness Of things which will result
in profit.
1t seems now to be so much Of n set.
tied opinion among farmers, that we sll Ill
continue 10 have dry hot summers aud
short pasture feed, that al resort to some
green fodder to make up for the deiicien
ry--and this resort has been principally
TO green Indian corn. Few have tried
miiet but those who have, like it, and
find it profitable crop. Cut green and
fed to stock, it is one of the best soling
crops we have-and made into hay, cat
tie eat it with as much avidity as they
will our best grasses,
The mode of culture is simple and easy.
The ground should be rich, or at east in
good condition, finely pulverised, and SOW
cd with seed about the first of June, using
eight quarts TO one acre; We have never
used more than this amount, and found
it amply sufficient, When sowed rs late
as the tenth of June, il is not necessary 10
cut it until after the I'VE and wheat crops
are harvested, aud the press Of work is
over. 1t is somewhat difficult to cure it.
as i is heavy, succulent plant. Gu, it
when the blossoms are just closing, aud
make it as clover hay is usually made
Hay caps may be used to great advantage
in securing this crop, as it is necessary
that it shoald be out two or three nights.
y few square rods left to ripen will furn.
isl an abundance OF seed for any year.
