Two HEAPS OF MANURE.--The lesson
inculcated by the following from the pen
OF Hon. L. II. Holbrook, in the New Eng.
land Farmer, is enc of great value to the
thinking farmer;
'tHow true is the remark of Mr.. Coke,
late Earl of Leicester, that the value of
farm yard manure is in proportion to what
it is made Of Ii cattle cat straw one,
che cattle are straw, the farm is straw,
and the farmer i, straw-they are all straw

thought might yield good supply Of milk

which were not expected to give milk till
the following grass season The first four

each in addition to hay and stalks, four
quarts of small potatoes each morning and
two quarts Of corn and oatmeal each
evening during the winter. As we expeo

come out well in the spring, The manure
of the four COWS was thrown out Of the
cattle shed by itself. The other four an
imals were tied in the same stable next TO
the first four and received only hay and
corr fodder. Their manure was thrown
out By itself at the next stable window,
and under the same shed so that the two
heaps lay side by side. The heap that
was made by the drst four COWS that were
daily messed with potatoes and meal, kept
hot and smoking all winter, and was
wholly free from frost. The heap made
by the other animals that had only hay

Scrofula, or Kings EvM.

is constitutional disease, q corruption of fhe
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatsA
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, n
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 1t may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, ands
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,
IL seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers Upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from tho
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs livor and internal organs, is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gendors in the blood, dopresscs
the energies of life, so that scrofuous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, bat they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases eonse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this ecrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain.
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from on
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking ins
facton, and their health is undermined by it,
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and ina
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise
Such medicine we supply in

ROOT STRUOTURE-PHYsOLoGI-
CAL CUhIOSIIY

In recent article in the Gardener s
Chronicles (Lond ny, it is very pertinent.
ly argued, that sufficient attention has not
HERETOFORE given to the nature, laws OF
growth, and requirements Of roots OF
plants. While the branches, leaves, how-
ers and fruit have been thoroughly stud
led, the paris upon which these depend in
very great degree for their support, have
been allowed TO seek their living, aud
contend with their enemies, almost with
out the aid of science, at least so far as it
might throw light upon the peculiarities.
Recently, however, the subject appear to
be exciting the interest of regc table phys
iologists. The Chronicle announces new
discovery made iu pursuance ofresearches
in this direction, by parties independently
in their Investigations, viz /; Professor
Henry in England, and Messrs. Garrean
and Bra wers, in France. 1t says; One
thing seems 10 have been already made
out by these careful Observers, namely,
that the growing point of young root is
always protected from injury by 9. natu-
raj guard.
1t has long been Known that in certain
plants the end Of the roots is covered by
kind of cap or hood within which the pro-
cess of growth is carried ou. OF this the
common Duckwcod offers familiar exam
pie, which any one may see with the aid
of a pocket lens Another, on far lar
ger scale, is to be found at the end of the
stout eria, roots of the S pew Pine { Pam
danus,) in which it looks like great
brown cap, 1t now appears that the
structure in question is general. not excep-
tonal. Mr.. Heufrey fluids that "the grow
ing point Of a root Is not at its absolute
extremity, which is covered by a cap
shaped or hood like portion of epidormis
of its own, continuous likewise behind with
she Gambia structure This cap like
sheath of the point of the root may be
compared with the head Of an arrow, for
ming FIRM body, which can be pushed
forward By the growing force behind, tc
penetrate through the resisting soil. This
cap is subject to dcstl uction and decompa.
sition by external agencies, and is less dis
tinctly seen in roots growing in the earth
than in those of aquatic plants. In al
cases, it is constantly undergoing renewal
by ell-development at the back part; ant
when it remains undisolved, as in many
water plants; it becomes very large; whes
it undergoes decomposition in proportion
as it is renewed behind, it presents an ir-
regular ragged appearance, which proba
bly, gave rise to the idea of spongy struc
sure at the end Of the roo lets.
In like manner Messrs. Garreau an,
Brauwers find that the ends of the root
undergo a process of exfoliation, (throw
ing off scales) the rapidity of which dc
pends upon the peculiar constitution of tn
species, and the temperature and moistur
to which it is exposed This exfoliatio
is connected with the formation of ne
tissue in the midst of yscous matte
beneath the skins Of the hoods of opideI
mis- which are eventually thrown OF.
