A GENTLEMAN

Who, two years ago, lay upon what his physicians
and all his friends believed to be his death bed, is
now alive and in the full vigor of health. His dis
eaoe WAS Consumption, of which nearly all his rela-
tives had died. The circumstances which led to
his recovery were as follows: His younger brother
was in the habit of reading to him from books
about the horse to while away his weary hours
One day he read to him from old book published
in London about the middle of the seventeenth
century, OF what was styled GA sympel and certain
remmeedec for diseases we Lungs" Not wholly
without hope, and unwilling to leave anything I'M
tried which gave promise of relief, the sick and
dying man had the prescribed remedies prepared
and commemorate use. The result was favorable.
In two months he was able walk about the prem
Uses withou. difficulty, and in seven months from
the time that he commenced its use he was en-
tirey well, and has not been confined day since.
Grateful towards all-wise providence for his
restoration he prescribed it for all in his vicinity
who were afflicted with diseases of the lungs and
general debility, and in every case it has proved
effective.
Thoroughly satisfied that it is the only safe and
certain cure for Consumption, and wishing to do
his fellow beings who are suffering, much good
as possible, he has concluded to send the recipe,
with full Instructions for putting up and using the
medicine, free to all who may order it. He re-
quires all applicants enclose postage stamp to
paw postage on the return of the answer and recipe,
and direct to M. +. McKelvey, Sandusky City, O.,
and they will be promptly sent by return OF mail

The HererOrds.

The New York Tribune thus speaks Of
some HerefOrds recently sold in that city:
We haze heretofore given a very IA
vorable opinion of the Herefords for beef.
There are several of them in market to-
day from Copake, Columbia Co., that
came from Geo. Clarkeis herd in Otsego
Co., about year ago, and have been
since fed with great care and have come
into market as fine specimens of beeves
as we have ever seen, particularly the
pair fed by Orville H. Wilcox, and sold by
Henry Hurd to D. MaIby. Newark, at
II lI2 cents a pound, estimating the
weight at 26 cwt. If the quality proves
as good as it looks In the animals, ii will
establish the credit of the Herefords, as
producers Of beef superior to any other
imported stock.
Another pair Of the same kind, nearly
usgood, fed by e. p. Sweet. are estiInaf-
ed al "a cwt-, sold BY d. C. Culver, who
sold four 10 Henry Kelley, and foar 10
Amos Oswold, Il ii cents, who we hope
will note and report opinions Of tAeir
customers upon the quality Of Hereford
beef.

Experimental Gardening, Cabbage.

The following brief description exhibits
the pecuIiarities and comparative excel
lence of several of thirteen varieties raj
sed the past summer. The different kinds
have been planted out and cultivated alike
and their peculiarities in growth and pre-
servation noted, and their excellence test
ed and discussed at my table, with as
much precision as colors of dress or fish
ions are at that of many others.
Premium Flat Dutch, is among the
first in point of goodness for the table,
and may justly be made standard of ex-
cellence. 1t is fall and winter variety,
sweet and tender, and one of the very
best to keep.
Large Headed. from England. A large,
late, good heading winter variety; an ex-
oellent keeper, fine favor, sweet and ten
der. green or boiled; first quality.
White Brunswick Drumhead, from
Germany. An early fall, short-stalked
variety; heads irregularly square, very
fat, large and solid, and of remarkable
uniformity in size. They stand the heat
and moisture well without bursting, and
are one of the surest varieties to head fol
late planting. Solid, crisp and tender
raw; second quality cooked-an excellen
keeper, and fine market cabbage.
Winningstadt, from France. One o.
the best keeping and most solid heading
early cabbages known-secOnd only L
Red Dutch In this particular. Heads uui
for1nly conical, large and heavy, solid t
the very extremity of the leaves, whicl
unite at the top in beautifully twiste
form. When planted early they STAN
the heat and moisture for a long tim
without bursting. Good slaughed, br
second quality cooked, fine market cab
bage.
Pldnting.-Few persons take the nt
cessary pains to grow cabbage for lal
winter and spring use. The almost un
versal practice of making one early plaI
ting only, occasions early ripeness, an
consequently early decay. The SUNNI,
of 1856, planted White Brunswick i

seed per acre. The result was, a fair
crop Of rye. and about the 'thickest catch
of grass we ever had. Last spring sow,
ed two acres, part with wheat, the bal
ance with oats; after having done using
the harrow, -sowed clover and timothy
seed, and finished off with heavy roller.
We have seldom seen a better catch of
grass, 1t being as good among the oats as
with the wheat. Early In September
last, sowed two fields with winter wheat;
after the grain was sown and the ground
thoroughly narrowed, sowed limothy seed.
One piece of the ground was rolled after
the grass seeds were sown; the other was
not rolled; IN few days after, the grass
and grain came up, and thicker stand
of grass plants we never saw, have no
doubt there was twice the number of
seeds vegetated that would had we har-
rowed the ground two or three times over
after the grass seeds were sown.
The past season was unusually wet.
and there was generally good catch of
grass. But wet or dry, for the future, we
shall not harrow in our grass seeds; shall
sow and then use the roller. If any of
our readers have doubts in reference to
this matter, will they give the thing an
experimental trial the coming spring ?-
Sow a portion of the seeds with the grain
on part of field, and then drag or
harrow the ground over two or three
times. On the other part Of the field,
defer sowing the grass seeds tiD after all
the narrowing is done; then SOW the grass
seeds and roll the whole field alike, and
carefully note the results; and after har-
vest, report your success or failure, In Ell
ther or both cases, for publication in the
columns of the Country Gentleman.

Early id October, 1856, in company
with DR.. Tyler, the then physi,ian Of
the New Hampshire Insane Hospital, |
took stroll over portion of the farm
connected with the Institution; none of
the crops interested me more than their
field Cabbages, there being not far from
three thousand heads Of the largest and
best cabbages | had ever seen, / remark
ed to him. that for few years the cab
bage crop had, In my vicinity, been almost
worthless, In consequence of being 'clump-
footed He remarked that liberal ap-
plication of salt to the land, or manure
intended for cabbages, was certain cure
and preventive for fingers and toes, and
all other ills that the cabbage is heir to.
The manure intended for cabbages, rec
eived all the beef and pork brine and salt
of the institution, amounting to many bar
rels each year. and since they had made
use of the Salted manure, they had not
failed 10 raise extra large crops. For the
three past years, cabbages from the

and Winningstadt June 1st, which were
planted out the last of the month, and
headed up finely, long before frost, and
are now, Feb. 8th, in sound fine e0ndi-

seed may be sown from the middle TO the
last of June, and be planted out in July
with good success.
Saving for Seed Before severe frost,
make choice of the finest heads for seed
plants, selecting those with fine compact
heads, with short stumps, and with few
loose leaves; with fork remove them
carefully from the soil, leaving the roots
as perfect as possible. These should be
planted fully up to their heads in fine
mellow soil, IN favorable outdoor situa-
ton; and as the season advances be fully
protected from frost; or if taken to the
cellar for protection, the roots and stalks
should be buried in dry sand in "a box, OF
otherwise In cool part of the cellar. On
removing to the open ground IN the spring
a portion of the head should be removed,
slicing off about one-haf of the head all
round, longitudinal with the stalk, using
care not 10 injure the center stem or
smal heart leaves. Cultivate and water
if necessary, as for other growing plants,
and as they advance tie the stalks loosely
to stakes to prevent accident. No two
varieties, nor should Caulifower, kahl

enclosure, or within considerable distance

Diseases of the Pear aud Apple.

There is no branch of fruit culture
which demands a more careful iTvestiga-
ton than the causes and probable RENE
dies of the diseases by which our popular
fruits are affected. There is little hope
of success In this inquiry, unless care and
perseverance, with sufficient amount of
scientif; knowledge, be brought 10 bear
on the subject. 1t IS enough for us 10
know, that annually great number Of
valuable fruit trees are destroyed by an
underlined malady, and besides a large
amount of valuable fruit injured by 81
milar cause, both hitherto merely alluded
to in books aud discussions, without any
decision being arrived at as to THAR ma
ture, Developments, or cure. Probably
it is beyond limited human intelligence TO
arrive at any satisfactory decision IN the
matter.
Much is known and has been published
which has not been brought before the
notice of our cultivators, and until our
means of information and research be-
come exhausted. / think we should pursue
the inquiry. A member of the New York
Fruit Growers Society, has lately pre-
sented some ideas to the public in a CO.
temporary agricultural journal, and de-
sires a further discussion of the topic
Two of the diseases which attack the
pear, he states are beyond his comprehen-
sion; one of them, the Fire Blight" Sc
called, lone Of the most inscrutable di.
seases in vegetable life" This conclu-
sion is certainly Just, when we consider
the conflicting opinions and multifariouE
theories which have been promulgated
! for the past ten years IN reference to 1t
The other, "Leaf Blight" he is also IN
able to elucidate-and this is precisell
the result of all the talking and writin!
hitherto. Shall we progress in the IN
vestigation or abandon it? L. B. L. o
Greece, infers that the "Rust on tn
leaf, which has recently appeared" ha
more the appearance of a LiChen, whicl
he seems 10 think synonymous with moss
than of fungus, which he translates b
the use of the term toad-stool. wish I
take exception to these two substitute
terms Of moss for Lichen and toad-stOt
for fungus, as likely to mislead. Liche
does not mean moss, nor fungus, toad
stool, in a scientific sense; no more tha
vine mildew, or oidium, means toad -stoo
Moss IS only the popular term for lare
group Of vegetable forms, and has real
no definite meaning unless those plan
included In the natural order of Musci
Moses; while the Lichens belong to Il
natural order of the Lichenes or Lichel
and the latter is the popular term.
this subject is to be thoroughly investiga
ed, lei II be done in a sensible manne

things, or we shall only confuse the read
