Diseases OF the Bowels and Stomach are
always caused by large deposits of hur,ful
matter, leftsby hard or impure blood in those
important orgt ms, and the poisonous material
in this vitiated blood, acting on the systom,
makes it to weak TO throw off this matter by
the natural channels, or if any is carried off it
is very small portion. So arise diarrhoea
and dysentery, collie, costiveness, bad breath,
Indigestion, nausea, loss Of appetite, be!chng
OF wind off the stomach, etc. To cure all these
''the blood is the life,n and must be perfectly
pure and clean, then you cannot be sick. A
short use of Judsons Mountain Herb Pills will
delight you. You Wilt with surprise their
mighty powos, andbe willing to say with the
red men ofthe west, they are the "mighty
healers.' Sold by all Medicine Dealers.

FALL Wharf.-The reports in relation to
Fall Wheat from different sections of this
county, are somewhat conflicting; but the
better opinion seems tobe, that it is generally
uninjurea. Very little, however, was sown.
Our Farmers generally deem it more pru-
dent to rely upon spring wheat

FAIRBANKS SCALEs.--In that magnificent
block oflon buildings erected upon the cor
ner OF Lake street and Wabash Avenue, by
/. II. Burch ESQ.,, and which challenges COM
parison with any editice designed for mercan-
tile purposes in the Union, is the Warehouse
and Office of Messrs Fairbanks 4, Greenleaf,
Manufacturers and Dealers in those Platform
and other Scales which have given the
name of Fairbanks world wide oelebri-
ty.
Messrs. Fairbanks & Greenleafoccupy No.
35 of this block, and their rooms are entered
both from Wabash Avenue and Lake street.
They have three rooms, lao feet deep and of
q proportionatc width, filed with every vari-
ETY. and description of Scale that will weigh
Q locomotive, down to the delicate balance in
which the Chemist measures his infinitersi-
NAL drugs. These Scales are all from the
mandatory at st. Johnsbury, Vermont
AT this mandatory the original inventor of
these Scales still presides, devoting the whole
of his time, and the entire resources of his
mind, now enriched by an experience and
practice of thirty years, to the improvement
and perfection of the Scales, which to the
general eye appear advanced to the ne Plus
ultyn of utility and protection. The reputa-
ton of the Fairbanks Scales is unequalled,
and never has the demand for them been gra-
ter than now Orders for them are sent, not
only from all parts of this country, but from
China, France, Spain Central and South
America, and even from England herself,
the fact being recognised and admitted that
the Fairbanks Scales are really better than
any which can be made at the most celebra-
ted English manufactures.

Cinders fcs Pigs.

j. j. Mechi of Triptree Hall. England
has been publishing his experience in fat
teniog swine, and. among other things,
he has learned the fact, THAT pigs are
very fond of coal ashes or cinders, and
thst you can hardly fat pigs properly on
boarded floors without giving them a
noderate supply daily or occasionally"
He says "In the absence of coal a-hes,
burned clay or brick dust is good sub
stitute. If you do not supply ashes they
will gnaw or eat the brick walls of their
sheds. / leave to science to explain the
cause OF this want. 1t is notorious that
coal dealers. where pigs have access to
the Goals. are generally successful pig
feeders. Those who find that their pigs
when shut up, do not progress favorably,
will do well to try this plan. A neigh
Dor of nioe found that q score of fat pigs
consumed quite basket Of burned clay
ashes daily. We know that there is an
abundance of alksli in ashes"

How to keep Potatoes.

More potatoes are spoiled through
swestiug than freezing. l never lose any
but save them thus:
| raise the place six inches where 1
want the pit OF hole, beating it hard with
the spade. l throw the potatoes on,
shaping like pyramid, and cover thick
ly with straight clean straw. l then
commence at the bottom, tbrowing on tho
earth and trsmping it hard with my feet !;
one foot thick is plenty. When within
foot of the top, l make hole in the straw
with my hand, and put in small funnel,
one foo: long and three inches square
Close the straw tight around the funnel,
and cover closely with earth, clspping the
whole solid with spade. Let the fun
mel remain two weeks, (cover it with
small board in case of rain, then take it
out, close the hole With straw. cover With
earth. place green sod on top, set four
forked stakes in the heap, cover With
boards to keep off rain, and will insure
your potatoes.-Anserican Agricultluist.
