Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of thsI
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated.
weak and poor. Being in the circulation, id
pervades the whole body, and may burst on i
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercnrial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and :.
above all, by the venereal infection. What /
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con.
stitution, descending " from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " |
will visit the -iniquites of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which. in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in tho
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
In this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous /;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
| To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
| the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.

Bees DtUidinq ,StcaymS Those who
use the Longstroth hive will now begin
to divide their swarms, instead Of wait
ing for the natural swarming, and thus
save time and labor BY the use of
movable comb frames it becomes very
easy to divide q strong swarm, and the
time in which it may be performed is
short, say fifteen minutes; an expert will
do it in less. When the bee-keeper can
remove his swarms to distance say two
or three miles, the operation can be per-
formed mnch more satisfactorily; but it
it can be we'll done even in city lot,
with the distance Of removal reduced to
rods. Some apiarians, in dividing, re-
move both new and old hives a consid-
cradle distance from the old seat, wnile
others place the new hive on the exact
spot where the old one stood, and thus
all the bees that return to the old stand
enter the new hive; the old hive, in the
meantime, being removed to greater
or less distance, In our practice, we re-
move every alternate frame with the
comb, from tue old hive, removing the
mass Of bees from il, and letting them
return to the old hive, and then placing
It in the new hive, with an empty frame
between each, one of these empty ones
being placed at each side; The same
order is adopted in the old hive. One
advantage of this is that the bees are
compelled to build their combs straight
on the frames, and are thus more easily
examined and divided, in future. At
Ter tho frames are all properly placed
the old hive is removed, and with it the
larger number Of bees to the new stand,
and the new hive is then placed in the
old position. The object of retaining
the most of the bees with the queen, in
in the old hive, is evident to every api-
arian, for nearly all who fly out that day
will return to the old stand,

TIE CoRN GRUB. The crop of corr

TIE CoRN GRUB.-The crop of corn
has several formidable enemies to con :
tend with, and among them is the grub,
which sometimes literally destroys whole
fields, and frequently damages the crop
severely. One of the best aud most jul
dicious remedies, perhaps the very best
ever suggested, is the application of salt
as soon as the plant makes its appear
ancc above the ground, prepared in this
way: Take one part OF common salt
and three parts plaster or gypsum, and
apply table spoonful around each hill,
and it will be sure protection The
mixture should not come in contact with
the young plants, as it may destroy
them. This method has been tried over
and over again by some of the best far
mers in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Jersey, and when properly applied, has
never failed to be perfectly successful.
We hope our farmers, who have rea-
son to fear the dcpredations of the grub,
this season, will try the mixture, leaving
n few alternate rows of corn without the
salt, and communicate the result to us.

CULTURE OF BUoKwHEAT. This IS an
important crop, and We present few
hints in regard to its cultivation aud
uses, for the consideration Of our readers.
The time of sowing varies with the
season and place but from the Goth Of
June to the 4th of July is regarded as
che best and most proper season; but we
have known good crops from that sown
on the 18th Of July. If sowu too early
It is liable to blast, aud if too late it is
liable to be hurt by the frost. The land
hest adopted to this crop is light loan
and it is also a good crop to subdue aud
ameliorate newly cleared or recently
drained land. The general practice a.
mong farmers has been, to SOW buck
wheat on their poorest land, when there
is DC crop in fact, which Will better pay
for liberal and generous manuring. The
quantity OF seed per acre should receive
due attention. 1t is a crop that spreads
very much, and therefore less seed IS
Just rs good rs more. From repeale ed
trials, we have found that half bushel
is amply sufficient for an acre of ground
and if this is sown evenly over that
surface, will give as many stalks as can
comfortably grow; for if larger guam
tity were sown, the groth of straw would
be so abundant that it would lodge down,
and thus would not fill so heavily, or ri
pen so evenly. After being cut it should
lay fer number of days upon the ground
and if out in two or three showers, no
damage is done, if it be turned over SO
as to dry off. When hauled into the
barn it should be thrashed Immediately,
as at that time it shells out more readily,
and it can as we'll be done then, and it
is out of the way. The average yield is
from twenty to twenty-five bushels per
acre, although some accounts Of the
yield of this crop seem almost fabulous
ono of which occurs to us at writing
that of Mr.. Samuel Allen OF Benton,
Yates county, who, in 1855, raised one
hundred aud tw nty-seven bushels from
one bushel sowing, on about two ami
half acres.
The seed is valuable for food TO both
man and beast, and the straw, if cut be.
fore being killed by frost, is most cx'
cellent fodder for sheep, they being par
ticularly fond of it. It seems that this
crop should receive more attention from
our farmers, as its merits certainly de-
mand.-C0untry Gentleman.
