sometimes thrown into heap, under
the shelter, and. incorporated with
straw or leaves, until they are mixed
or composted. prefer to have each
kind thrown at once in the square set

manner, in which ease some earth or
straw should Immediately cover the
deposite. This plan enables one to
compare the value of fertilizer, and
arrive at results. The garden should
all be broken up in the fall roughly,
that it may get the benefit of the frost.
The ground intended for potatoes and
other roots should have a heavy coat
of straw or chat, turned under in the
fall blowing. If you have not manure
enough for your whole garden, that
intended for late vegetables should be
sown in rye, which being plowed un-

81 AYERS 4 as
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t Is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLEs, PUsruLEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILIrIc and MERcURIAL DIS
EASES, DRopsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " insps1ity of the blood" is founded IN truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rlla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption OF the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, It
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
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 faint is variously
caused by mercurial 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, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, II
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 disorder:
which, although not scrofulous In their nature
are still rendered fatal by this faint in tht
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 o.
are aggravated by the same cause.
80 One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it
To cleanse it from the system we must renovat
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and IN
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such a medicine we supply in saef

Eight Reason. for Planting on Orchard.

1. DIR. Dwight used to remark to his
pupils at Yale, that the raising of fruit
was the cheapest and pleasantest way
of entertaining ones friends. We are
creatures of society, and it is very
important object to make the social
board attractive to all who homer us
with their friendship. A dish of well
grown apples is always wholesome
and acceptable. e - e
= 2. An orchard is an ornament to the
farm, beautiful in its spring blossoms,
ats summer drapery of green, and its
autumn burden of yellow and ruddy
fruit No farm is complete without
Its acres of orchard.
3. The cultivation of fruit is very
pleasant occupation, and has an impor-
-tant infaence upon the mind and heart
Of the cultivator. 1t requiers higher
intelligence than the growing of the
annual crops. 1t fosters forecast and
hopefulness, and tends to cheerful
temper. ffei O. t1galao 'fg
A. 1t makes home attractive-chil-
dren are universally fond of fruit, and
the home where this luxury is always
5 enjoyed, will be more loved on that
account. 1t will be in pleasant con-
trast with many homes around them.
5. 1t will tend to guard children
against vice apd crime. So strong is
the desire for fruit, that they may steal
it If it be not provided for them at
home. And the boy that grows up
plundering his neighbours fruit yard
and orchard, is very likely to steal
more valuable things when he becomes
a man. 500 -raai-i IS
