TO THE PUBLIC,

I have been suffering for several years with
CANCER of the most malignant kind, in my un
der lip. Any and all remedies applied were of no
use, and my life must have been sacrificed, had
not heard of radical cures effected by physician
in Western New York. Thinking it my last hope
visited him; submitted to his operation, which
is only tho application of simple but intensely
powerful plaster, and the cancer was drawn COM
petely from my frame, The wound is healed,
and have never felt the slightest twnge or token
of my old trouble. The cure was SO complete that
returned to New York, and at considerable cost,
purchased the receipt for the cure and the plaster
accompanying it, Since then l have extracted
malignant cancers from the persans of two of my
neighbors, A. D. Osgood and saml Farnham as
appears by their certificates below. The cure in
each has been pronounced com plets by competent
physicians. From the persons Of any that may
be afflicted with cancers of any kind l will extrac
and cure them at a reasonable rate. These can
GERS that have been taken out, can be thoroughly
examined by any wishing the opportunity. Twill
also furnish medical attendance and advice, by
physicians of good standing, for any who may wish
me to operate upon them, if it is required, Com
muncations addressed to Edward Wight, Bucks
po1t, Maine, where shall be in constant attend

LINE HAsTENs THE MATURITY OF THE CROPS.
johnson says sit is true Of nearly all our
cultivated crops. but especially those of corn
(wheat,) that their full growth is attained
more speedily when the land is lined, and
that they are ready for the harvest from ten
to fifteen days earlier. This is the case even
with the buckwheat, which becomes sooner
ripe, Though it yields no larger IA return
when lime is applied to the land on which it
is grown" have our readers any experience
on this point?
PEA BuG.-The editor of the Ohio Farmer
recommends every one to steep their peas III
boiling water, in order to kill the pea bug
and thus lessen the reproduction of this insect
which all lovers Of peas detest. If all would
do this, we have no doubt it would soon les
sen the prevalence Of tho nuisance. 1t is also
suggested that the remainder of the crop, oil
those not intended for seed, be exposed to 8
slight kiln drying in the fall or winter, to des
troy the ''bug."

subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled
him to accumulate a vast collection OF speeihca-

These besides his extensive library of legal and

All necessity of journey to Washington. to pro-

TESTIMONIALS.
During the time l occupied the Office of Com
missioner of Patents, r. IL. Eddy, Esq, of Bos-
ton did business at the Patent Office, as Solicitor
procuring patents. There were few, if any,
persons acting in that capacity, who had 50 much
bushes before the Patent Office and there were
none who conducted it with more skill, fidelity and
success. l regard Mr.. Eddy as one of the best in
formed and most skllful Patent Solicitors in tho
United States, and have hesitation in assuring
inventors that they cannot employ person more
competent and trustworthy, and moro capable OF
putting their applications in Il form to secure for
them an carly and favorable consideration at tho
Patent Office. EDMUND BURKE,

QUERY ABOUT PorAroEs.-Last summer |
drew hay through my potatoe field l made
bat one road through them, occupying three
1t of Sept. The tops of all but these
ed green till the frost killed them. The tu-
bers in these three rows did not rot at all,
1t in all the other rows, they rotted badly
NV the query is; what caused the differ
ence? Was there fly that stung the stalks
of the other rows And was it brushed of
and scared away from the three rows? And
as a consequence, were the tubers Of the lat
ter unaffected by the rot, while the rest were
badly damaged? Will some of your CORES
pondents tell NJ. j. NUDGE.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1858-05-28

THINNING PLASTs.-Cobbet said, in,speak-
ing Of the culture of cucumber, that two
plants in hill would bear smaller crop
than one. three less than two, four s. than
three, until fifty plants would bear nothing
at all The remark will apply to all eucur-
bilious plants, as melons, squashes and pump
kins-which are often allowed to grow too
thickly. A single plant, Tor two plants at
most, 80 as to insure one in case OF accident
to the other,) on rich, well prepared and
well cultivated piece of land with a space Of
six or seven feet, is far better than large
number. The culture of turnips ndespecial-
ly those of the ruta baga tribe, requires bold
thinning out. A novice in the culture of
these roots may be readily distinguished by
the thick drills, who would be startled at the
'.frightful waste Of thrifty young plants,
which the experienced cultivator boldly prac-
tices, and with such decided advantage.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1858-05-28

GRASS AROUND FRUIT FRESNO one who
has the least knowledge of the cultivation o
fruit, will allow grass to grow around hi
young trees. 1t is a great drawback upor
their growth and health. For several years
at least-and we would recommend 1t at al
times-the soil should be kept pulverizec
around the trunks of fruit trees. Only givt
your trees as much attention as you give YOU
corntield, or your cabbage bed, and there vii
be no secret in the raising of superior crop
Of good fruit.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1858-05-28

EARLY BEANs.-The N. E. Farmer tells
how to raise them, in this wise: "Plow, ma
nure and prepare the ground well, as for COM
mon garden purposes, then make holes which
will contain peck or more of horse manure
and the usual litter that accompanies it. If
for running beans, set the poles in the centre,
and then drop the beans upon the manure af-
treading it down slightly with the foot
Now scatter over the beans and manure a
very little fine mould, and then cover with
clear sand. The warm horse-manure acts as
hot-bed, while the sand becomes heated
above by the suns rays and has the further
advantage Of throwing up no weeds. In this
manner beans and most other garden vegeta-
bles may be obtained very early"
