DRAINING.-Don't forget to drain your wet
lands. They will be more than doubled in val
ne by a thorough system of draining. Wet or
swampy land is of little value to the farmer,
but when dried it generally becomes the best
part of the farm.

Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of
Consumptive Patients in advanced
stages of the Disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so numerous
are the cases Of its cures that almost every section of
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored from alarming and desperate diseases
OF the lungs by its use. When tried its superiority
every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to
escape observation and where its virtues are known the
public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ for the
distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary
organs that are incident to climate. While many in
terior remedies thrust upon the community have failed
and been discarded this has gained friends by every trial
conferred benefits the afflicted they never forget
and produced numerous and too remarkable to

Some years since, an experiment was made
to Flanders. which went far towards ascertain
ing the value of urine when applied as slim
ul9nt of vegetable life. A box of fine, white
sand was exposed to a heat sufficiently intense
to dissipate its moisture, and thoroughly to de-
stroy every particle of organized matter it
contained. 1t was then placed in a dry situa-
ton. and some seeds Of Egyptian wheat being
planted in it, the whole mass was saturated
with urine in a state of incipient putridity.
The result of this experiment was, that the
wheat vegetated, grew rapidly through the
season, and in autumn, rather before the ma
turation of the same grain in the open fields,
produced heavy yield Of fine and perfectly
developed grain.

Most farmers are now so well convinced of
the value of liquid manure, that they take
more pains than formerly to preserve it. They
have not only placed cellars under their barn,
where it falls, when dropped, upon meadow
muck saw-dust loan, refuse hay, leaves, or
other matter where it is soon absorbed and
saved from evaporation-but some have sunk
tanks, or wells into which it is led by cutters,
and after passing through the putretactive pro-
cess, is conveyed to the fields and sprinkled
upon grass or other lands, as it is needed.
This process is highly commended by some
who practice it. 1t seems to us, however that
where meadow muck is abundant on the farm
and there are high lands of sandy or graveny
loans that need dressing, that q cheaper, cas-
Ter, and more beneficial way would be to let
the droppings fall upon old, finely pulverized
meadow muck. This not only absorbs all the
urine, holding its virtues most tenaciously
within its grasp, but every cord of muck APP
piled 10 such lands las we have mentioned is
nearly equal in value to a cord of the common
barn-yard dung.
Sir John Sinclair an English writer of &C.
lcbrity, speaking of the value of this article as
fertilizing agent, says:
every sort of urine contains the essential
elements of vegetables in state of solution.
The urine of horse, being so much lighter,
would be more valuable than its dung, if both
must be conveyed to any distance. The urine
of six COWS or horses will enrich a quantity Of
earth sufficient to top-dress one English acre of
grass land and as it would require "a worth
of dung to perform the same operation, the
urine of a COW or horse is worth about II shill-
ings per annum, allowing s shillings per acre
as the expense of preparing the compost. The
advantages of irrigating grass lands with cow
urine almost exceeds belief. Mr.. Harley of
Glasgow, who keeps large dairy in that town,
by using COW urine cuts some small fields of
grass six times, and the average of each cut
ting is fifteen inches in length. '-MaSSachuSets

ON RODG ERs AGAIN.

We make the following extract from 6
letter from friend in Louisiana concerning
this worthy functionary:
'Old Ky Rodgers let off some good things
during his six weeks term Of court which
has Just closed.
Ky had kept the Bar and Jury up until
one O'Clock A. NJ, and be slept nearly all

and Col. p. defending. B. was frequently
objecting, and would call upon the 'Court'

would wake up and ask Mr.B to state his
objections again:
| object on the maxim of law, if it please
the Court, viz: Res judicata pro reritate
accip,tur.'
ola Ky doesn't know latin from Chinese
but he rubs his eyes, yawns and says, '1his

to sleep he is. Presently b. finds another
hard point of evidence to get over-he
wakes up sthe Court,' and says: 'May it
please your Honor, object to the testimo.

the Court to sustain single objection. con-
cluded to try the force of Latin on him

he finds a point of testimony which he
wants out Of his way he ,vakes up 'the

'This Court sustains the objection, Col.

AN INDIAN LOVER.

Miss Bishop, the writer of s'FloraI Home"
who went to Minnesota as teacher, receiv-
ed an offer OF marriage from an Indian. lie
came to her dwelling decked in all bis tinery
scarlet flannel, rings, feathers, newly
secured brass ornaments, and bears claws
and through an Interpreter, announced to
her that she must be his wife. 1t was urg. d
that he had one wife. He replied: Call the
band have as many as they can keep, and
have but one." As an extra inducemcnt,
he promised that she should have the best
corner of his lodge, hunt by his side and
cat with him, while the dark seurw was to
hush the papoose, cook the food, carry the
game, plant and hoe the corn, and provide
wood and water. Miss Bishop, a little in
fear of the ''green-eyej MONSTER" even if
the other claimant did hold an inferior posi-
ton, declined the distinction. The Indian
then begged dollar to buy shirt, and lefs
with naughty air. Next day he was drunk.
But Miss Bishops associate almost Jared

A loving couple walking up from the llli-

pictures strung along the waA attracted the
attention Of both. The girl had bran,

pearance, had a foot in it; and as if to COM
plete the toute ensemble, q pair of panta-
Iettes hung gracefully around her ancles.-
The arm and hand to which the fan was
suspended, ever and anon conveyed to the
brides mouth-we insist that she was
bride--an apple! She handled the fruit
naturally, and as her pretty little mouth
took it in, she chuckled at the ''pictures!"
