Dear Sn,-Probably no case Of Kidney Com
Ilant has come under your observation where
this painful disease had more stubbornly refused
to yield to the influence of so many different
remedies as my own.
l have suffered pain (more than can dcscribe)
through my back, hips, and limbs, together with
great difficulty in passing the urine, which was
very often, and in small quantities. For twenty
years | have been great sufferer with this COM
plant. | have tried all the remedies recommend.
ed which came within my reach. have been Ia
to sec if change of climate would help me.
have expended Thousands of dollars to obtain relief
still my only reply could be, No better.
About year ago, was advised by friends &c
try the VEGETISE; they having taken it themselves
and been cured. Without much faith l consent
ed to try it; and l can truly say, that received
great benefit from the first bottle. l began e
rest better nights, and was not obliged to urnate
so often, with much less pain. After taking three
or four bottles, was not obliged to get up but
once or twice during the night; and the pain in
| my back and limbs was growing less from day tc
day. have taken in all some twelve or ffteer
bottles; and to-day am as able to attend to ac
tive business as any man. Who can appreciate
the blessing of good health more than ono who
has suffered for twenty years as l have? Is il
not my duty (now have relief to make this fact
known? The VEGETINE has done more for me
than l ever dared to hope or expect from any
medicine; and believe me, dear sir, | am happy
at all times to speak in its favor.
am, &c. very gratefully yours

This estimate which is fair one, gives
value per bushel Of thirty-nine cents /;
that is, the substances found in a bushel
Of good sound wood ashes are worth in
the market that sum at the present time.
BY teaching the ashes, thirty cents Of the
commercial valcc is removed and convert
ed into soap this leaves nine cents as the
value Of the constituents OF bushel Of
leached ashes. The silicate Of lime, aud
the metals, practically have no market
value, and are not considered.
What is the agricultural value Of the
two forms Of fertilizers ? The ashes hold.
ing all their normal constituents are
worth more applied to soils than for 9TH
er uses when separated, dollars and cents
being considered. A bushe judiciously
employed, will return in most seasons
sixty or seventy cents worth of products
the first year. The potash and soda CON-
bined as they are in ashes. in the form of
carbonates, sulphates, and silicates, are in
precisely the right condition to be readily
assimiiablc, many important constituents
Of the soil.
The leached ashes also are worth more
to the farmer than nine cents bushel.
Relatively they are worth more Tor soil
employment than the unleached, regard
being had to the commercial value of the
substance when separated. A good hon.
est bushel of moist, leached ashes, will
give returns the first year of the value Of
fifteen or twenty cents ; and owing to the
peculiar decomposing influence upon the
insoluble constituents Of the soil of the
silcates, etc., remaining in the mass theiI
influence extends outside Of themselves
and continues for long time. A pound
of phosphate Of lime found in ashes is
worth more than pound of bone dust, as
it is 10 condition to be readily taken uI
by plants. The carbonate of lime il
worth more than chalk of the same agent
in other forms. inasmuch as it has onct
passed through plant structures.
The estimates here presented are only
rough ones, but they are sufficiently exac
to serve as guide in learning the valu'
of leached and unleached wood ashes
We have experimental considerably will
ashes in both forms, upon soils of variou
kinds, and what we have here stated j
the result Of our own practical expert

HEARTILY RECOMMENDS.

Souri, BosToS, Feb. I. 1870.
Mr.. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-I have taken several bottles of your
VsGETISE, and am convinced it is n valuable

general debility Of the system.
l can heartily recommend it to all suffering
from the above complaints.

Ashes ieached and Unieached.

Leached ashes usually sell at about
half the price Of unleached, farmers hav-
ing no very definite idea Of their compar.
alive value. The Boston Journal OF
Chemistry in discussing the subject says
Let us consider the nature, or chemi-
cal constituents Of the two heaps as we
find them at the soap boilers. In one
bin are the dry fresh wood ashes in an.
other, the wet, lixivated mass, as thrown
from the leach tubs. IF the former are
like the ashes produced in our own dwell.
ing, by burning in the open fireplace, oak
pine, hickory birch. aud maple woods,
bushel will weigh about fifty pounds, six
and three.fourths pounds of which are
soluble constituents, there are little
more than four and one-half pounds Of
potash and soda, the remainder being the
sulphuric, muriatic, and carbonic acids
with which the alkalies are combined
Forty. three pounds are insolublc water,
and consist Of
Carbonate of lime, 32 lbs.
Phosphate, " " 3 lbs.
carbonate OF magneSla, t los.
Silicate Of lime, 3 lbs.
Oxides Of iron and manganese, l ID.
1t is the work Of the soap-boiler to re-
move from ashes what is soluble in water
which is accomplished in the leach tub !;
and this is all the change they undergo in
this establishment. The ashes 90 in dry,
holding the soluble and insoluble sub.
stances they come out wet, deprived Of
six and three-fourths pounds Of potash
and soda. 1t should be stated, however,
that about one pound of quick lime is ad-
ded to each bushel of ashes in the leach,
to render the lyc caustic. This adds one
pound more Of lime to the insoluble resi-
DUN, or the leached ashes, making it
weigh, if it was free from water, forty.
four pounds. In teaching the ashes do
not change much in bulk, but they are
largely increased in weight from the con-
tanned water.
Now, what is the commercial value OF
the ashes before and after they pass
through the soap makers hands ? In the
dry state the four and one.half pounds Of
potash and soda arc worth six cents a
pound, 27
Other soluble constituents,
Thirty-two pounds carbonate of lime, 3
Three pounds phosphate of lime, 6

Silver Sprfng.

This cup Of crystal water, which
bears the name OF Crystal Spring, has
no streams running into it. The foun-
tains that furnish its waters and form
the river flowing out OF it come from
below, and burst up under large lodges
Of limestone rock that form its bottom.
It fills itself to the brim, overfowing
at q break in the edge Of the cup.
Owing to the uprush of this large
stream, there is q constant undulation
impaired to the whole mass of waters
that is never seen in lakes fed by sur
face streams. The water seems to vi
brate, and this imparts peculiar ap-
pearance to everything seen through it.
The lodges of white limestone form
ing the floor of this cup are each set in
a frame Of long, waving green water
grass and verdant moss, whose vivid
color and many shades of green reflect
the rays of the sun as perfectly as in
the open air. The water is 30 perfect
ly transparent that q pearl button drop
ped on the rocky floor can be as dis
tinctly seen as in the palm of the hand.
The deep borders Of long grasses un-
dulate continually with the motion of
the water, and the limestone rocks at
the bottom assume the hue of richly
Furnished silver tinged with green.
Myriads of fish of all kinds and sizes
peculiar to this region, are seen swim
ming and sporting in these forests Of
grass and moss. 1t is pleasant sight
to collect them about the boat and to
see them scrambling for crumbs of
bread. The trees around, cypress and
Undiscovered ive-oak, crowd the
banks, and thirstily dip their branches
in the water.
Ihave seen many wonderful things,
but nowhere have 1 ever seen such q
gem of perfect beautya as Silver Spring.

The Ramie Plant.

The ramie plant seems likely to
fuIfiu all that at first it promised.
This plant Is a native of Java, and
its fibre Is admirably adapted for use
either separately or in conjunction
with silk or cotton. 1t is easily raised,
Is exceedingly productive, and Is In
demand by the European manufac-
turers. 1t Is only since 1874 that it
has been known generally in, Europe,
and only since 1867 that it has been
cultivated in this country, in which
year it was first planted in Louisiana.
In 1870, that State and Mississippi
grew eighteen hundred acres of it. In
California, the "Pacific Ramie COM
panyn is organized, and will plant
large tracts of land with 1t as soon as
the rains will permit. European
manufacturers have guaranteed a
constant demand in excess Of the
supply. What is needed in order to
secure the cheapest supply, is a ma
chine to remove the outer husks from
the bark, and to separate the bark
from the wood-a counterpart, in fact,
to the cotton gin. A member Of the
British East India Commission has
offered $25, eco as a prize for a machine
that will do this work properly,
which viii serve to stimulate the
energies of inventors. In the report
