Advantages Of Fan PiOushiug.

b. fN-uoN. HOLBROok. ~ VERMONT,
Without celebrating the many strong
points in favor of fall ploughing, a few Of
the prominent benefits may be briefly sta
red as follows:
LIST, August aud September is good
lime to turn over bound out soil land ,and
manure and re-seed it at once to grass
obtaining crop Of hay the following
year
I'd, October and November rs an ex-
cellent time to break up sod land for
planting the following spring.
Sd, The weather is then cool and brac-
ing, and the team strong and hearty for
the work while the weather in the spring
IS more relaxing and the team less able !;
and the spring work being always hurry.
ing, it saves time to dispatch as much of
the ploughing as possible during the pre-
vious autumn.
4th, Sod land broken up early in au-
tumn will be quite free from growing
grass the following spring; the roots of
the late overturned sod being so general.
ly killed by the immediate succeeding
winter, that not much grass will readily
start in spring
5th The trosts of the winter dsnteg-
rate the ploughed land, so that it readily
crumbles in fine particles in the spring,
and deep, mellow seed bed is easily
made. The chemical changes and modi-
fications resulting from atmospheric action
during winter develope latent fertility in
the upturned burrows, which together
with mellowing influences, materially in.
oreases the crop.
9th, Most kinds Of insects are either
wholly destroyed. or their depredations
are materially checked by late fall plough
ing, especially the common white grub
and the cut-worm.
eth, Corn stubble land may be plough
ed late in the fall, and thus be ready for
very early sowing in the spring, therefore
going FIR to insure good crop of grass
the roots of the new seeding getting hold
we'll, or being well established before the
drouths of summer come on.
9Th, Most land in New England needs
deeper ploughing than has generally been
practised. When the subsoil is fine grain
ed, and unctuous and close or where there
is a hard pan of good quality, deer
ploughing may be at once resorted t.
with decided advantage. Where the sub
soil is poorer, the ploughing may still b.
advantagcously deepened by degrees, say
an inch at each new breaking up. Blu
in by Gar a majority of cases,deep plough
ing may be practised at once-indeed i
may be the rule with safety, while shall
low ploughing may be the exception.
Plough say nine, ten, eleven or twelv'
inches in November, The subsoil turnet
mp will grow several shades darker b.
spring The forest and atmospheric in
auence of winter will mellow the soil
Inorganic elements and all the latent fer
tility will be made more active for bene
fitting the crop. In the spring spread tn
manure, and plough it in, or otherwis
work it in or mingle it with the soil t
the depth say Of tour inches, or q littl

The Gulf Stream,

A writer gives the following graphic
description of the Gulf Stream There
is river in the ocean. In the severest
drouth it never fails, and in the mightiest
foods it never overfows. its banks and
its bottom are Of cold water, while its
current is warm. The Gulf of Mexico is
its fountain, and its mouth is the Arctic
seas 1t is the Gulf Stream. There is
in the world no other so majestic flow
Of water. Its current is more rapid than
the Mississippi or the Amazon, and its
volume more than thousand times grea.
ter Its waters as far out as the Caro-.
lima coasts, are Of an indigo blue. They
are 80 distinctly marked that the line of
junction with the common sea water may
be traced by the eye. Often one-half Of
the vessel may be perceived floating il
the Gulf Stream water, while the other
half is in the common water of the sea,
so sharp is the line and the want of affinity
between these waters and such, too, the
reluctance, so to speak, on the part Of
those of the Gulf Stream, to mingle with
the waters of the sea. In addition
to this there is another peculiar fact.
The fishermen on the coast of Norway
are supplied with wood from the tropics
by the Gulf Stream. Think of the Arctic
fishermen burning upon their hearths the
palms OF Hayti, the mahogany of Hon
duras, and the precious woods ofthe ANA.

ITS EatenSire Circulation IN an PARTS of
the Country
The Independent of New York has
issued circular to its business patrons,
which reads as follows
The following facts and figures taken
from our Mail Books prove most conclu-
sively that The Independent s the best
advertising medium in the country. We
stand ready to show our books to any ad-
vertiser who doubts the accuracy of our
statement. We are astonished ourselves
at this revelation of unparalleled facts
and figures made in our books. Adver-
tisers will also bear in mind that The
Independent probably circulates-. through
news agents, to whom we make large sales
in many places not mentioned on our
Mail Books. We do not believe, for
instance, that any single newspaper in the
State of Massachusetts, either secular or
religious, goes into 80 many towns or to
30 many post-offices in that state as does
The Independent; and the same, we
believe, is true Of Illinois, and also of
every other Northern state. In other
words, The Independent has wider cir
culation in each of the Northern states
than any other journal, either local or
foreign. If a business man, therefore,
in Boston, Chicago, or elsewhere. wants
to communicate with the public in his own
state and vicinity. The Independent, as
will be seen, is by far the best medium.
Our crowded advertising columns con.
show that business men in all
directions already appreciate our ability
to aid them; and we are not afraid to re-
fer Unfortunately to thousands Of such
in New York and elsewhere. We mean
it shall not be our fault if The Indepen-
dent does not 60 to every post.office in
the country. In other words, We mean
to merit the patronage ofall good people
in every direction.

Sinking SLOWLY.

Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis are
not the only ones to be dreaded. Canker or dry
rot does not blast tree as suddenly as stroke
of lightning, but unless arrested it destroys it as
certainly; and in like manner chronic debility,
although it does not kill with the swiftness of
yellow fever, is sure to sap the springs of life
eventually as any acute disease, if not checked
by invigorating medication. There is something
inexpressibly touching in the spectacle of pre-
mature decay. Languor, pallor, emaciation, de-
preston of spirits and distaste for exertion,
are its ordinary symptoms, and they should be
promptly met by tonic treatment. The best in
vigorant and exhilarant that can be administered
in case of this kind is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. The stimulating principle of the prepare
ton rouses the dormant energies Of the system,
and the strengthening and regulating properties
give permanent and healthful impulse to the
vital forces thus brought into play. The failing
appetite is re-awakened, the process Of digestion
and assimilation sare quickened, the quality Of
the blood is improved, the secretions become
more natural and every organ that contributes
to the nourishment of the body undergoes salu-
tary change By these means the repair of the
physical structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the
benifcent operation of the Bitters been more
marked and striking than in those characterized
by general debility and nervous prostration.-
Ladies affected with these ailments find in this
most wholesome of all tonics and correctives the
safest and surest means of relief. It is strong to
restore and powerless to injure. Such is the uni
form testimony of clouds of witnesses"
