Corn Cobs and Corn Stalks.

Corn cobs contain considerable nutri-
ment, and if ground up and mixed with
cut straw, fodder or hay, make excellent
food for stock; this fact should prevent
corn from being shelled before it is sold
those who have no mill for the purpose of
grinding cobs, can have them chopped and
cooked, either by boiling or SCANNING
By economising thus, cattle will require
less long provender to take them through
the winter months. Corn stalks that have
been cut after the corn has become glaz-
ed, with the fodder on, if cut up by cut
ting machine, will also make an excellent
provender-half bushel cut up and mix
ed With peck Of bran, or peck of cob
meal, will make two good feeds for a
mich cow, and enable her to add materi-
ally to the milk pail.-Rural Register.

healing properties of the Balsam, with the
invigoreting qualities of Cordial, produce
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 pumo-
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 Prussan Dr. Hoof-
land, the originator of the Balsamic Cor
dtal. His life was devoted to the produce
ton of remedies that would stand unri-
vailed. How we'll 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 commendatlons from all
classes of society, as the remedies of DR..
Hoohand, prepared by DR.. c. M.-Jackson
s. Co, CT 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
''slight cold." That eminent authority,
DR.. Bell, says: 81 will not say that colds
are to our inhabitants what the Plaque
and KeHoD FeUer are to those of other
countries; but can aver confidently that
they usher in disease of greater compiled
ty and mortality than the latter"

PADDY's BLEssiNG.-A poor old Irish
cripple sat begging At a bridge, urging his
appeal to the charity of passengers, with
the eager and versatile eloQuence Of his
country. A gentleman and lsdy-young,
gay andlhandsome, with the peculiar look Of
gratiiicd and complacent consciousness
which in1icates the few weeks Of married
life, crossed the bridge. They regarded
not the petitions Of the beggar; 50, just as
they passed him he exclaimed, MAY the
blessing Of the Lord, which brings love and
joy and wealth. and fne family, follow
you 81 the days Of your hfe." A pause !;
the couple passed heedlessly on, and the

APPLICATION OF MANURE.-It is worth
about double, if applied in autumn and
spread on the surface, and worked in spring,
especially if preceding corn. Heavy crops
Of corn have been raised by spreading the
manure on grass before winter, and after
the grass has begun to spring up green and
vigorous the next spring, to tsrn it under
to moderate depth, and plant. Drawing
it out in winter as it accumulates, answers
a good purpose. The application to wheat
in autumn as been already spoken Of
Compost heaps for this purpose may be
made on the intended wheat field the pre-
vious spring, by thin alternating layers Of
manure and soil. In all instances when
manure is plowed under, it should be first
we'll narrowed after spreading, to break it
fine and intermix it well with the soil. In
some instances, its value is thus doubled.
It is the fine diffusion with the soil, that
renders autumn manuring so valuable, the
soluble and enriching parts soaking thro'
every particle Of soil. In large Jumps,
manure cannot be Of much use and in dry
seasons it thus Injuries while, finely inter.
mixed it prevents the bad effects Of drought

WEEDS AND BUsHEs.-DEAR PRINTER -
You should declare unceasing war against
weeds clean your lands thoroughly, no
matter what the labor or exposure and
keep them cleaned. Few are aware how
much nutriment they abstract from the soil.
When the corn, or wheat, or potatoe crop
fails to realize eur expectations, we vent
bitter invectives against the soil, or the
season, or the seed, overlooking the fact
that the weeks have been silently, yet stur-
Oily at work in pillaging from the treasury
whence alone the aliment necessary to their
development can be derived five must
cultivate weeds, let US, by all means appro-
pirate to them certain prescribed portion
Of our soil, and there keep them. But the
man who should do this, would be regarded
as insane, while he who permits them to
overrun and strange his corn and other val
liable crops, is regarded as anything but a
fit subject for straight waistcoat.
Every inch of your enclosed lands sho'd
be turned to profit-made to produce some
thing of value. Therefore, remove all the
stumps, stones, and bushes, that encum.
bereth them. August is the best month
for the destruction of briars, bushes, &C. +;

bees greatly improve the fructi6cation Of
fruit trees. Orchards i'm which several
hives are kept always produce more fruit
than those in which. there arc none. In the
Provinces on the Rhine, the fruits are more
abundant and finer than in any other part
Of Germany, and there it is the custom to
keep hrge quantities Of bees. Plants, too,
which bees visit, thrive better in the neigh.
borhood Of hives.
