LlHE FOR PorA1ors.-A correspondent.
Of the Scientific American. Smith Groom,
ofTroy. N. Y. says that. his experience
In the culture Of potatoes has convinced
him that about half handful of dry
slaeked lime placed in each hill tends to
prevent the potato rot. The lime, he
states. bfings the potatoes earlier to ma
turity. and imPsrts to them vigo, which
resists the attacks Of the disease. Anex-
periment with lime can be conducted BY
any ofour farmers at small expense. and
ifis does not prevent the potato rot. the
lime will certainly enrich the soil for eth
or crops. Some Of the farmers in Bal.i.
more county intend trying the expert,
ment. having confidence in its success.
We also notice q statement in another
paper. that lime lightly s2rinkled over
potatoes when putting them away ha. al.
80 been found q pressrvasive from the
rot.

ECONOMY OF LABOR IN GULTIyA.

There is great difference TO be marked
in the economy Of farm labor in different
sections OF the country, and even OF the

care and attention in this respect.
In the item Of hoe culture in . crop for
example, one farmer thinks il necessary
90 give his corn or potato crop one or two
hoeings, another will cultivate the same
crop without putting his hoe into it at all.
the difference in the cost Of cultivation is

crop.
five analyse the methods Of the two.
We find that he whose labor 10 abundant
makes an imperfect preparation OF the
ground, because he expects to use the
hoe in planting the other prepares his
ground perfectly with harrow and roller.
because a. he does not mean 10 use the
hoe, it 10 necessary. For The after cult
Walton, he who uses the hoe Is not afraid
to let the grass get hold Of the ground
the hoe will take it out. He who does
not use il starts his harrow on the FIRST

FOR ALE THE PURPOSES OF A 9

THrnH ha. long existed public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on as
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sye trial of its virtues has cusiyely shown with
what success it accompanies the purpose designed
make the best Of all psls-one which should have
none of the objections, but all the adyan tages of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce SO much
gripping pain and revulsion IN the system as ore
than counterbalance good TO be derived from
them. These pill, produce no irritation or pain,
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely.
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plieable are given on the box: Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them We
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Langner and Loss Of APP
petite, Listlessness, 1ritabity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors; Serofnla
and inpurty of the blood, Irregularities; in short,
any and every case where purgatiye is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
Erysipelas Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, stomach. and Side. They should Be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change Of seasons:
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
lite and ygor They purify the blood. and, by their
yate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of n
cathaHtic medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
