Black Hawk Horses.

In late number Of Porter's Spirit,
Mr.. Jas. ID. Ladd Of Ohio, good authori-
ty,) gives tho following interesting statis-
tics relative 60 the Black Hawk branch Of
the Morgan Horse family:
"Black Hawk earned as q foal getter
for D. & Il. Hill, $50, 900; they and 9th
ers sold out Of Addison county alone for a
number Of years from $40, 900 to $4,000
worth Of his colts annually, A great
many stations Of his get have been sold
at from 2 to 6 years old, for from $500
to $4,000; some atfron $4,000 to 81
600; some at $4,000 to $4,000. The
owners Of Ethan Allen refused $4,000
for him. OF fast trotters he has Ethan
Allen, Lancet, Know Nothing, Black
Ralph, Lady Lawrence, Belle of Saratoga,
Black Hawk Maid, Ticonderoga, Sherman
Black Hawk, Stockbridge Chief, and
many more. His stock have taken the
first honors at the Vermont and Massa-
chusetts Fairs for years, with scarcely a
single exception, At United States Fairs,
Ethan Allen has taken first premium,
Ticonderoga one, and Stockbridge Chief
two. Ethan Allen has always when
shown for them, taken the first at Spring
field, Mass; last fall he took the first at
Nashville. His colts have taken all the
premiums at Ohio State Fairs with two
exceptions, as roadsters, and great many
as horses for general purposes" 6

Learn to Use Tools.

First own them, and then use them
Some farmers look upon jack-plane as a
mystery. They never suppose it proper
for farmer to own set of bits and a
stock. He is regarded crazy. who under
takes to lay out, with "scratch and square"
frame. 1t is heresy to add to ones un-
derstanding by the use Of the shoe-ham-
mer, awl, pegs; and piece of leather-in
other words to tap ones boots.
Few men have ever learned how to hoop
a barrel, or make new head for the
same. If the plow-horse needs three nails
in a shoe he must send from one to four
miles, at a great loss Of time. Keep the
nails on hand and learn how to use them.
Better to pay skillful, blacksmith FIVE
dollars to show you how to do it, than not
to know how.
Accumulate a set of tools. Handle
them. Use them every Opportunity
What if the first piece of work is botched |?
The best mechanics were botchers at first.
1t should be part Of the education of q
man to know how to handle tools
IL is an axiom that trouble recedes as
it is boldly faced, and as one advances to
meet it. The mystery of the use of tools
will soon cease as we familiarize ourselves
with them. ~ a''5 "a '~2"

The FARMERS FR1END.-At an agri-
cultural meeting in Switzerland, Baron
Won Tschudi, the eminent Swiss natural
ist, spoke upon the important services of
birds in the destruction Of insects, making
the broad assertion that without them az.
riculture and vegetation are not possible.
He stated that in few months they would
destroy more that would injure the crops
than millions of human hands could do in
as many years, and therefore blamed the
foolish practice Of shooting and destroying
them, recommending instead that such
birds as swallows, titmice, &C., be allured
into gardens and cornfelds, He mention
cd the case Of oneof his neighbors in whose
garden three tall rose-trees were suddenly
covered with about two thousand treelice.
He recommended marsh titmouse to be
placed in the garden, which in d few hours
consumed thewhole brood and left the ro-
ses perfectly clean.

PREVENTION OF WooDs RoTTINa.-To
prevent posts and piles from rotting, says
the american AgricultaTist, the following
coating has been recommended, which is
the more suitable, since it is economical,
impermeable to water, and nearly as hard
as stone: Take so parts Of rosin, 40 Of
finely powdered chalk, 300 parts (or less)
Of fue, white, sharp sand. four parts OF
copper, and two parts sulphuric acid
First heat the rosin, chalk, sand, and oil,
in 40 iron boiler; then add the oxide, and
with care, the acid stir the composition
carefully and apply the coat while il Is
hot. II il DO NOT liquid enough, add q
little sors oil. This coating, when ii is
cold and dry, forms varnish which is
hard as stone. ..si

Group, HoarsenesS, Bronchitis,
Pneumonia, Diseases of the Boacezs,
arising from Cold, lncipient Consumption,
and for the relief and IF at all pos
sible) cure Of patients in advanced
stages Of the latter
THE Balsamic Cordial is entirely We
i getable production, combining the
healing properties of the Balsam, with the
invigorBting qualities of Cordial, produc-
ing a combination so well adapted to the
purposes intended, that there are but few
cases of disease which will not, at an ear
ly period, succumb to its healing and life
giving properties.
For ages, has the treatment of pulmo-
nary diseases occupied the greater portion
of the attention of the scientific of the
medical world, but none acquired more
eminence in his treatment of these diseas-
es, than the celebrated Prussian DR.. Hoof-
land, the originator of the Balsamic Cor.
dtal. His life was devoted to the produc-
ton of remedies that would stand unri-
vailed. How well he has succeeded, the
American people are able to Judge; and
we positively assert, that no preparations
that have ever been placed before them,
have conferred the same amount of bene-
fits on suffering humanity, or have elici-
TED so many Communications from all
classes of society, as the remedies of Dr..
Hoofiand, prepared by DR.. c. M. Jackson
s. Co, of Philadelphia.
The Cordial is designed for class of
diseases more general and more fatal than
any other to which the people of this
country are subject-those springing from
"sligM cold" That eminent authority,
DIR. Bell, says: 81 will not say that colds
are to our inhabitants what the Plaque
and YELLOW Fever are to those of other
countries; but | can aver confidently that
they usher in disease of greater complete
ty and mortality than the latter.''
