Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more
rather does what is of service to those SUBJ
ect to this infection If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
the great variety IF affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,

This it acoomplishes by stimulating the excre-

does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

DR.. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
AND
LIVER PILLS.

WE beg leave to call the atten-
w ton of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
DR.. Chas. M'Lane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. 1t has also been
administered with the most salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANcEMENrs, SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when adj
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTsBURGH, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DR.. M'Lane's Cele-
brated Vern,ifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to

ON AN ENTIRELY ORIGINAL PRINCIPLE.
Oln this valuable invention do away with all
the objections ever made to the elevated Oven
Stove. The pipeflue is placed in front of the oven
in fact, forming part of the oven itself, and by
this means we are enabled to regulate the baking
more perfectly than in any other stove which was
ever made. We have but one damper to it, which
has three wings never liable to get out of order,
and is also patented By turning the damper
one way, we force all the heat and fame under and
up in the back of the oven the top, and thence
down in front, until it enters into the fue, and
passes off the curvature in the bottom of the oyen
which requires the heat to descend, and hugs the
oven during the circuit. Reversing the same
damper, we totally exclude the entire heat from
the oven, it all passing into the flue direct without
even reaching the oven. This simple and beauti-
full arrangement needs, we are certain further
recommendation from u.s. The pipe being thus
located, the stove can be set close to the wall or
side of the room, with a small zinck or timed
board hung the wall; the pipe being so far from
the wall as not to injure it, the stove Set will
occupy less room than ordinary square or dividing

FaIlure Of western Frult frees.

Lewis Ellsworth, one of the most sue
cessful and intelligent fruit growers in
Illinois, says in a communication TO the
Prairie Farmer, that the loss in fruit
trees in that state within the last few
years, is millions of dollarS-that il is at
tributed to the cold winters and dry sum-
mers. But he asserts that this result in
a great extent has arisen from their stand
ing unprotected in soil underlaid with a
retentive clayey,loam subsoil, which char
acterizes most of the prairie lands. He
has adopted the practice of ridging his
landry repeated plowings, commencing
at the same ridges and ending at the same
dead burrows, and where nursery trees
were formerly thrown out by freezing,
since ridging they stand throughout the
winter without injury, and make a better
growth in summer. He recommends
the ridging system for all orchards. each
row of trees being placed on the center o.
the row.
We have no doubt that draining would
lessen the effects of severe winters on
fruit trees in other regions than thu
west.

Newspaper Writing.

The individuals who complain because
newspaper articles are not more classical,
more dignifed, more brilliant, and all
that sort of thing, pretty generally sponge
their papers, and therefore have never
considered their opinions worth any par
ticular sum. 1t is certain that any news
paper publisher who exclusively caters for
the class in question will very soon be
forced to ask aid of some charitable in
stitution. A publisher prints for the
people and not for "critics." He must
give his readers variety and in as SEN
sible, clear and attractive form as pos
sible. Ifhe is afflicted with a little Lat
in, he had much better keep it to himself
than to frighten his readers with it.
Newspaper writing is a business as
much as anything else is; and because
a man is brilliant essayist, popular
lecturer, or profound scholar, it does not
follow that he can edit any more than il
does that he can run tandem team back.

The Farm.
ROOt.GraftiDg the Apple.

Truth gradually finds its way to the
light. A few years ago, the practice of
root grating was strongly denounced by
many western cultivators, and the prac-
tue of cutting the root of a single seed
ling into two or three pieces for the in
sertion of gratis, was especially reproba-
ted. Some of the most eminent eastern
nurseymen admitted the justice of these
objections, and for a time but few dared
to suggest the propriety of using several
cuts. We published at the time our
views on the subject, founded on numer-
Gus experiments, in none of which could
we perceive any difference in the charac-
ter, growth, or productiveness, of trees
grated or budded in the nursery-row a
foot above ground, and such as had been
root-grafted into whole or bisected one
and two year roots. At the late meeting
of the Fruit Growers Society of Western
New York, this subject was briefly discus
sed. during which Mr.. H. E. Hooker of
Rochester, a nursey-man of extensive
experience, and who has the rep
utation of always adopting and advocating
opinions without respect TO his personal
profit, stated that he had experimental
fully by placing the upper and lower por-
tions of the root after grating, separately,
and could not perceive any difference beI
tween them when grown, or between
these and the whole roots.
At a recent meeting of the Illinois
Horticultural Society, the subject was full
ly discussed, and extensive and carefully
conducted experiments were reported
VIM. L. Howell of Central City, in one
experiment, cut his roots into four pieces,
keeping each separate. Those trees work
ed on the second cuts were best of all,
and the others nearly equal. D. B. Ga
lusha reported a similar trial, where q
hundred trees were worked from each
cut from the collar down. They were al
grated from the same sort, were planted
side by side, and received precisely the
same culture. The result as the tree:
now stand is, those worked on the second
cut are larger and finer than on the first
the third nearly as good as the second
and the foruth nearly equal to the first
