Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

Is constitutional disease, corruption of the

weak, and poor. Being in tho circulation, Il
pervadcs tho whole body, and may.burst out
in disease on any part OF it, No organ is fieo
from its attacks, nor is there one which Il may
not destroy. The scrofuous tnint Ia variously
caused by mcrcnrial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure Dir, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by tho vcncrcal infection. What
ever he its origin, IL is hereditary IN the con-
stitution, descending "from parents to children
unto the third and fourth gcneration;" indeed,
1t seems to be the rod OF Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquitics Of tho fathers upon
their Children"
Its effects commence by deposition from tho
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, 10 termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constit,i.
tions not only suffer from scrofllous com.
plants, but they have far less power to with.
stand the attacks of other diseases; consc-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in tho
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 or
are aggravated by the same cause. pf'
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in.
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renova,e
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

Honey.

Honey, it is well known, when taken fresh
from the comb is clear yellow sirun con.
tanning no trace Of solid sugar. Upon
straining, however, it assumes crystalline
appearance, and finally becomes solid lump
OF sugar. 1t has been found that this
change is due to Photographic action, chrys-
til zing only when exposed to light. This
explanation furnishes us the reason vhv
bees are SO careful to work in perfect dark
ness. always carefully obscuring the glass
", windows which may be placed in your hives.
Inc young bees can feed on the liquid honey
only' and it light were allowed access to It,
the sirup would gradually acquire more or
less solid consistency sealing up the cells and
IN all probability proving fatal to the inmate
Of the hives.

AGRICULTURAL.
Why 1t ls that Potatoes Yield
Less than formerly,


A correspondent wishes to be told why
the yield Of potatoes is less than formerly.
The reason is not difficult to discover. 1t
exists as law of nature, embracing animals
as well as vegetable organi ms. These all
have excrctory as well as sesretory functions.
All throw off efIete matter, aud this matter
is hateful to the secretory vessels on which
vegetables depend for their Development
Ifmany crops in succession Of the same
vegetable are grown, the eifete matter in
creases in proportion to the nutritiye and
finally overcomes all efforts at successful
cultivation. The food decreases and the
poison increases, with every crop. If ma
nure general or special, is added to the soil,
it increases the food, but does not necessarily
diminish the poisonous effete matter. One
hundred years ago potatoes were but little
cultivated, and most grounds we're lett fresh
for their production. Then and long after
wards, 400 bushels was not an extraordinary
yield. Now the increased taste for its use
and the great augmentation Of our people,
in number and ability to purchase, have
it necessary that great breadths Of land
should be used for its growth. In conse.
qucncc Of this, much Of the land have become
weakened to degree that invites destructive
enemies to feed on its substance--to take
advantage of its weakened organization. -
Hence the rot, SO called, and other ailments
Mother earth is good mother, but like her
sex generally she has taste for variety in
outer adornment. She will change her
dress, even the most durable Of her fabrics
her forests. These are ever varying in COM
position, and finally thrown off altogether
for grasses. These, again, have their round
of varieties, and in long course of years
give place to other plants. Mother earth
will have her way and those of us, her chill
dren, who best understand her requirements
will partako most largely of her bounties.

Straw Shelter for stock.

Very goodand durable sheds may be made
from straw, with little care and pains
taking. A good thatched toof, well laid on,
of good straw, will shed rain and wet equally
well as shingles, and last nearly as long and
the expense is nothing compared with shin
gle roofs.
A thatched roof may be made something
as follows: Put up the rafters as for sheet
ing, on these place ribs, which may be spit
poles, nailed one foot apart. The straw may
be straight. Winter rye, threshed by hand
is the best fasten by laying on thin split
poles, fasten to the ribs by splits of strong,
tough bark +; lay the courses thick and evcn
and finish off at the top. This will make a
roof that will not leak and be serviccable. -
Sides ofbuillnes may be covered with straw,
and made serviceable and warm, with little
trouble. Doors Of straw may be made
strong, light and tight Tie, wire, or nail
together together frame Of round sticks, wind a
straw rope Of about two inches in diameter
around the long way, to cover the frame
Then weave tighter round straw rope,
back and forth weaving the whole in a single
mat. The strands on each side of the frame
may be plated separately, thus forming a
mat or door Of double thickness. Straw
sheds can havethe wallssprinkled with mud
to prevent the cattle from pulling out the
straw-be made quite marin and durable,
and stock provided with such, with ordinary
care, will come through the winter in very
good condition; and the expence of keeping
is very much less than when allowed to lie
exposed to pclting storms. NORTH Western

IAE AMERICAN SQUIRREL. this most
beautiful, active and graceful of all the fur
red denizens of our woods and plains, there
are no less than sixty known varieties, and
the number will most probably be increased
when our Pacific possessions are more fully
explored. 10 the sportsmen east of the
Rocky Mountains the most interesting spe.
cies are the gray, the fox and the pine sauir
rel, called on the tide water of Maryland
and Virginia the cat squirrel. The gray
squirrel frequently migratcs in vast numbers
and is then very destructive to the corn
crop. 10 such an extent did their deprada-
tions reach in the colony of Pennsylvania,
in the year l749, as to excite the alarm Of
the authorities, and bounty Of three pence
was offered for squirrel scalps; and the
colonial treasury was depleated to the ex-
tent Of eight thousand pounds, and rendered
nearly bankrupt, six hundred and forty thou
sand scalps having been paid for in sngle
year. In view of this great fecundity, it is
fortunate the squirrel has so many enemies,
anu probably the least destructive of them
all Is man. The black snake asscnds to his
nest, and at one fell swoop will DESTROY
whole litter; the rattlesnake, We are told,
will paralyze poor bunny by the glitter Of
his eyes, and draw him on, an unresistine
victim into the jaws of death. But the owl
is his greatest and most destructive enemy,
as towards the close of day he fits on noise.
less wing through the darkening woods, and
pounces on his unsuspecting prey. The
red-tailed hawk is another Of his foes, but
he Is an open enemy, and wages war mag.
