THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Revocation, not Pr0strGtiOn. is
the true Medical Philosophy. The intro
duction of PLANTATIONS BITTERs,
prepared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The Hfe-sustain-
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change. II the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to flight, and hope and
cheerfulness return In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dysr
pepaia, biliousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
sick will not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are combined the ele
ments of stomachic, and invigorant,
mild laxative, nerviue and an anti-bilious
specific, reign in their stead.

MANAGEMENT OE MANURE.

Nj. James J. Van Wyck contributes
the following article to the Country Gen.
tlemGn, and his suggestions will be found
very useful by our readers:
Manure is the key to all successful ag-
riculture. Hence the most important
question a farmer can ask is, how can
obtain and apply it to the best advantage2
To throw what little light / can on this
question is my object in writing this
article. Our object is to obtain the largest
possible crop with the least possible ex-
pense. The use of soil is TO hold the
plant while il is fed with appropriate
food, which is already contained in the
soil or atmosphere, or which we supply
to it. The sooner we can convert that
plant-fOod into paying crop, the faster
will we enrich ourselves, and the better
can we afford to return more plant-food
to the soil. Hence Ii is also an important
question as to what crop will bring
the most money in proportion to the
sapply of food consumed. Manure can
not be appropriated by plants until it
has undergone decomposition. All ami
NAL manure in its fresh state has under
gone decomposition to certain extent,
but not entirely. Hence, if we entirely
decompose it without too much waste or
expense before applying it to the crop,
the surer will be our profit. The more
decomposed manure is applied to the
surface roots of the plant, the quicker and
better will be the result. With these
e+o+o,,onto Of DciD1ae NO yrocaod 20
our method of preparing and applying
manure. During any time when our
team is not otherwise proftably employed,
we send it to the neighboriDg village or
city to cart home manure, which we de-
post in heaps of from twenty to fifty
loads, where we expect to apply it in the
spring. In winter, when the roads are
bad, we cart from our own yard. In
February we begin to turn and break
these heaps, making the manure as fine
as possible. In March turn again.
The oftener it is handled the better
will be the result. As soon as we
have ploughed aud furrowed our ground,
we take our team and wagon, load on this
fine decomposed manure and scatter it
lightly in the row or place about q quart
In the hill, drop on our seed and cover it.
AN well satisfied that one load used in
this way will give as good results to the
first crops as four loads spread broadcast
and ploughed under. Manure decomposed
and fined viii go as far again as fresh upon
grass, with equally as good results. Still
believe that the proper place to manure
for grass is when we seed down, harrow
ing it in with the grain. In proof of the
good effect of manure applied in this way,
give the results of few experiments.
In January, 1868, l drew upon two acres
of ground about enc hundred loads of
manure, upon which l planted Black
Caps in rows eight feet apart, putting a
row of potatoes between them. About
one acre on the south end was unmanured.
Last spring | continued the berries upon
this acre, and planted potatoes between
them, putting ten loads of manure in tn c
rows. About two rods in length of the
portion MANFRED the previous year had

what a Bostonian Thinks.

The Adams On " Visitor speaks Of an emf
nent BOstonian who regarded an advertise
ment in a newspaper as personal invitation
to call and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering a store the proprietOrs of which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence,
/ always feel certain of d cordial welcome
from the members Of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance Of one of the many results
of advertising. The trader and his calling be-
come identified, and the name Of the man IL in
separately connected in the mini of the public
with his merchandise. 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may elapse, and then,
when the want arises, the article to be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class OF adj
vertisements, where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. A shrewd business man
once advertised a trif1ing article In manner
which could scarcely prove remunerative. His
neighbors expressed their regret at his folly
but he appeared contented Though his gross
sales Of the article did not cover the cost Of his
advertising, he attracted 3 new class Of people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in a
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition TO the speciality advertised,
and new purses came under contribution TO
him.

Smith, the plaintiff in error, bought
corn of the defendant, and agreed to pay
him in bank notes. Afterwards he paid
him in Confederate Treasury notes. Cot
trell, the defendant in error, sued the
plaintiff in error, for the price of his
corn, and insisted that he had been COM
PEELED by duress, to accept the Confeder-
ate currency. He proved that Smith was
a rebel, the testimony being objected to.
James T. Shield, for plaintiff in error.
w. r. Evans for defendant.
Most of the causes of error relied on
by the plaintiff in error, are answered by
the fact that the bill of exceptions does
not show that it contains all the evidence
in the case.
The objection to the proof, that plain
tiff in error was Rebel, was properly
overruled. Whilst such evidence, in
general, would be irrelevant, and calcu-
lated 10 prejudice jury, yet, in this case,
it was a circumstance that might well be
looked to, in determining whether de-
PENDANT in error received the Confederate
money under duress.
There is no error in the record. Let
| the judgment be affirmed.
