TO Keep Fowls Healthy.

The way l keep my fowlsin health,
clean out the house once a week put
wood ashes under the rOosts have
iron basins for them to drink from
whitewash inside of the hen-house
with hot lime; put a little kerosene
oil OH the roOsts once a month. The
main food is oats and cake of scraps
TO pick on. l never feed but once a
day-at noon or when i shut them mp
at 4 or ) r. N. When they run out,
then give them ali they want. in my
experience, there is no way to get dis.
eascd fowls easier than to keep them
stuffed; it makes them lazy, and they
wont work as they ought 10, to keep
them in a healty condition. l never
had any gapes in chickens. When
any fowl begins to drOop, l give three
large pills OF common hard, yellow
soap: It's the best thing to clean a
fowl know Of l follow 1t for three
days, give them nothing to cat aud
plenty of pure water TO drink. In
desperate cases, give half teaspoon
full Of tincturc OF lobelia. 1t will se,-
dom, if ever, fail of curing. 1t is a
very cleansing and powerful medi-
cine for fowls.-Rurdt Ne,c Yorker.

Tobacco Growing.

g The Journal Of Chemistry speak
ing of the exhaustion of land by to-
bacco, says:
To the farmers who cultivate the
plant it proves a robber of the first
magnitude. 1t possesses a capacity
for plhndcring the soil greater than
any other tree, shrub or plant known.
The amount of mineral constituents
which it carries off can be judged of
by carefully examining the ash, as it
accumulates upon the end of an igni-
ted cigar. 1t often remains after the
organic portion is removed, showing
the full size aud outline of rolled
leaves, and to the eye apparently no.
thing is lost by combustion. Ii the
wood burned in our stoves and upon
our hearths was as rich in soil con-
stituents, we should need the services
of extra servants TO carry away the
ashes. Every hundred pounds of the
dried leaves which the soil produces
robs it of at least twenty pounds of
its most valuable mineral atoms.
The comparative exhaustive effects
of tobacco upon the soil may be judg-
ed from the fact that fourteen tons
of wheat, fifteen of wheat, fifteen tons
of corn, and twelve tons of oats re-
move no more of the principle of fer
tility than single ton of tobacco.

The repeated Analysis of tobacco,
and of the grains Of wheat, corn and
other crops, demonstrates that in cul-
itiyating for market we remove as
much of The constituents of the soil
with one good crop, as would be re-
moved by dozen or fifteen crops Of
the ordinary grains. As an Offset to
this fact we have another, viz: The
actual amount of manure added to
the soil to insure a fine crop of tobac-
co, lis not more than twice as much
as would be required to produce first
rate crops of wheat or corn !; and with
this application, good crops of the
weed are taken year after year. Two
things are ccrtain-1st, The manure
supplies directly bnt, a portion Of the
constituents of the tobacco ash. ID,
Those which are supplied by the soil,
which is acted upon by the manure,
by water, by air and by tillage, by all
OF which these anti-constit,ients are
brought into available condition
When the soil ceases to, yield those
constituents, particularly potash,
which ordinary manure does not sup
ply In sufficient quantity, the tobacco
crop will inevitably fall off. In some
soils this comes after a few years but
by judicious rest and cropping with
other plants, and proper manuring,
tobacco culture will again be profit
able. - aat4 y 2 ffs... ~ f's6.l
WHAT CROPS SHOULD FOLLOW TOBACCO.
Tobacco leaves the land in admira-
bic condition for q crop of wheat, to
be followed by grass, which will do
well for several years. Almost any
of our common crops will do well af-
ter tobacco. Roots find potash
enough. Potatoes, if planted on good
tobacco land, which has not been
overcropped, even two years in sue
cession, will usually indicate no lack
of this substance. Ruta Bagas
(Swedes) are favored by the. amount
of the phospfates left as residum in
old tobacco lands, and these, it is well
known, are peculiarly advantageous
to all the turnip family. 1t is for the
same reason that cabbages are fire.

Orchards.

l read an admirable article in a
number of The UorticultNrist, for
1860, on the "Orchard," much of which.
l hca: tily endorse; but there was
one practice recommended that /
must here assail, with all due defer
cncc to the opinions of the author Of
that article. l refer to the question
of cultivating (plowing) the orchard.
Until the trees are ten years old this
is The proper treatment, but after
that age l would nerer suffer the
ground 10 be molested with plow,
hoe or spade but would treat it very
much as recommended in the article
save only the stirring of the soil
that is, l would at the tenth year sow
it to red clover, and never cut it of,
but let it die down and rot, or | would
turn in hogs or sheep to eat of the
first crop, allowing the second bloom
ing the same season to grow up to
seed and fall down for the next years
crop of seed. In this way the ground
would be mulcled summer and Win
ter. 1 would keep il in clover as
long as it would grow. well, and after
that sow any other grass seed that
would not make too tall growth,
and alternate with clover every few
years. The plan of stirring the soil
Injuries the roots, and of course Injuries
the trees, and the result is that the
the fruit either falls prematurely, or
srecks and rOts. During the first de-
cade after planting / would never stir
the soil under the branches, except an
inch or two deep, and under the
branches l would cut and scatter
come clover three or four inches deep
in June, and in December would place
straw of some kind the same depth,
but not within two feet of the trunk,
as that would llarbor field mice, to the
injury of the bark. Such has been
my practice and observation with uni
form success, while, on the plan of
stirring the soil, great and irreparable
injury has followed. How far this
plah of mine would be successful and
best in other soils and climate differ
ing from Kentucky, am not advised,
either by observation or information,
except that contained in the excellent
article referred TO; but 1 am inclired
to the opinion that the same general
rules and natural laws would apply,
and should be 10th to adopt any
other practice anywhere than the one
briefly set forth herein.-Henry Hor-

Persons unacquainted with the structure and

Importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the kidneys is

ty of the bowels. The kidneys remove from

remain, would speedily destroy life. A total
SUSPENSION of the urinary discharges will Occa-
sion death from thirty-six to forty-eight hOnrs.
When the urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is disposition to uri
nate more frequently than natural, or when the
urine is high colored or scalding, with weak
ness in the small of the back, 1t should not be
trifled with or delayed, but KOSkOO should be
token at once to remedy the difficulty, before a
lesion of the organs takes place. Most Of the
diseases of the bladder originate from those Of
the kidneys, the urine being impe-fectly secre-
ted in the kidneys, prove irritating to the blad-
der and urinary passages. When we recollect
that medicine never reaches the kidneys except
through the general circulation Of the blood
we see how necessary it is to keep the Foun-

in great numbers at certain points on

seals are scattered in all directions,

lcaping in an opposite direction up the
slope. The latter are urged Oh by the
natives, farther and farther from the
coast, until Il settlement is reached

hausted seals are separated Tito small
droyes and killed with spears. Some
times nearly 5000 of these creatures
are started inland from the beach.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.


"The life of the flesh is In the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood as the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this of bad blood Is founded in
truth. ts,--t ~. II
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad and fire.
quertly covered with pasty, white coat. This
condition soon shows Itself in roughness of the
skin, then in eruptive and ulcerative diseases,
and when long continued. results in serious
LESSONS of the brain, liver, lungs or urinary ap-
paratus. Much, very much, suffering is caused
by impure bloo1. 1t is estimated by some that
one-fifh of the human family are effected with
scrofula in some form. fil
When the blood is. pure you are not 50 liza
BILE to any disease. Many impurities Of the
blood arise from impure diseases of large
cities. Eradicate every impuri,y from the foun-
tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital
strength will return to you.
