Good Advice.

Let our possessions be what they may-marble
palaces, broad lands, magnificent plate, or caskets
of precious stones"-they all sink in the balance
against Heavens great boon, Health. and they
cannot be enjoyed without it. And yet how lit
tie is it valued, and how carelessly preserved.
The laws Of nature cannot be violated with i'm.
punity. Night revelry, luxurious living. irreg-
ularity of meals, and disordered appetite, will
gradually destry the power and activity Of the
stomach. How many ladies and gentlemen eat
and drink disease at late suppers, and arise in
the morning with headache, loss Of appetite,
feeling languid and unrefreshed. There can be
no medical remedy that will turn lead into food,
or poisoned drinks into nutriment, bat medical
science can assist nature, supply exhausted fluids
and to great extent correct the effects Of dis
ease. In oil cases suoh as the above, we recon-.
mend PLANTATION BITTERs. You will find
them just the thing-at the same time most
delicious tonic and appetizer.

MowINa FIELDS MORE THAN ONCE.-The
complaint which was m .de against the Ameri-
can hay that was sent 70 ,r-land last year was
that it was too coarse objection that We
think not few have notic"d on this side OF the
Atlantic. Such hay may give large yield to
the acre. but much OF it wall never DO eaten By
stock, aud much of what is eaten will never 30
digested. There is another difficulty connected
with our present mode Of cutting grass after the
stalk has attained its fall size and put forth
blossoms or has matured its seeds. Unless such
stalks can remain until desiccation commenced it
is Injurious 70 the roots to cut them. That it is
not injur GUS to the roots to clip the foliage of
grass before the stalk shoots up any considerable
distance appears to be proven by pastures. Here
the grass is clipped many times during the sea-
son, and still the vitality of the roots does not
appear to be injured In the least
Most farmers have noticed that grass lands
will run out quicker when they are moved, than
when pastured, and that it requires more power
to break pasture turf, than that in q field that
has been cut with q scythe, an equal number of
years. The oftener lawns are cut the finer the
grass becomes, and the 6rmer the turf. Grass in
q lawn that is mown every week or two, is not
half 30 likely to winter kill, as that in field
that is only cut once in season. A team that
will draw pillow through field that has been
in timothy hay five or six years, with as much
ease W through field Of wheat stubble, would
be "stalked" if taken into lawn or pasture Of
the same ago.
Nature, in providing grass as the food for do
mestic animals, seemed to have designed it for
frequent clipping Can we not, therefore, make
our hay Of better qualities and at same time
give greater permanence to the crop, cutting tho
grass oftener than we do! We know there
would be more work attending such practice,
than in having hay cutting but once year !;
but we do not think the increase of labor would
be as great it would at first thought appear to
be. We should be in no danger of lodged grass,
and the trouble of curing the hay would be
greatly lessened, as little spreading would be
quired. 1t might be necessary, also, to exercise
more care in the application of manure in the
solid liquid torn, to the fields that are to be
mown more than once; but in this case, as in all
others where manure is applied, the additional
yield will more than compensate for the outlay.

the first morning after the freshet, several of the
