EFaudulent misrepresentation
Among the pernIcious frauds of the Pc
Rod. there Is one which especially deserves
the reprehensiOn of ali who place a proper
value en- health and life. The swindle re-
ferred to consists in the attempts OF ire
sponsible parties, in different sections Of
the United States, to force upon the market
vile astringent compounds manufactured
out Of damaged or worthless drugs and re-
fuse liquor, as preparations possessing the
rare medicinal virtues Of the most popular
and emcacious OF all vegetable tOnics and
aIterstives-Hostette r's Stomach Bitters.
The concoetors of these "local bitters'
ara, in the truest sense Ofthe phrase, pubic
enemies. Their fiery potions infiame the
stomach, stupefy the brains, and SKATER
the nerves of those who are unWise enough
10 accept them as substitutes for the famous
Vegetable Invigorant, that for twenty
years has been known throughout the
Western Hemisphere as a standard article.
The fame of Hostetter's Bitters as q health
preserving, vitalizing medicine, is as wide
as the world, and the miserable attempts of
needy nostrum-mongers to suppIant it
would be treated with silent contempt,
were it not that serious consequences some
pounds in question. Whoever recomme ends
any OF them as remedies for Dyspepsia, BIZ
uousneSS, Constipation, Intermittent Fee
yer, rheumatism, or any other complaint
specific, is guilty of a moral, if not a legal
misdemeanOr. At this season, when the
sun is releasing from the earth, in the form
of unWhOleSOme VapOrS, the active prlnc1s
pie of disease, a course Of HOStetter's Bit
ters will be the utmost service to persons
with feeble constitutions.

Artificial MIX.

From the reports in circulation
1t would seem as If science were
about to make COWS superhuous
Artificial milk has been prepared
by a French chemist from sugar,
dried whites of eggs, carbonate of
soda, olive-oii, and water. BY sub
stituting gelatine for the whites of
eggs, and with less admixture of
water, cream 10 obtained. Another
chemist, Gaudin, in discussing the
preceding suggestion, gives his tes-
timony as TO depriving fats of all
unpleasant Odor by mere subsection
to an appropriate temperature. He
also states that very good artificial
milk can be prepared from bones
rich in fat, by purifying this fat by
means Of super-heated steam, and
combining the fat thus obtained
with gelatine. This milk is, he
says, almost like that of the COW
and when kept, acquires first the
odor Of sour milk, then that Of
cheese. The gelatine in it repre-
sents the oaseine; the fat, the but
ter; the szgar, the sugar of milk.
1t serves for the preparation OF
coffee and chocolate, Of soups, and
creams Of excellent flavor, and its
cost is but trihing.

How TO RenOvate an Exhausted Farm.

The Maine farmer gives the fol-
lowing statement of how 8 Down
easter renovated and built up a run
down farm: BY force Of circum-
stances he found himself IN posses
sion of a naturally good but "ter-
ribIy skinned" farm. The hay had
been sold year after year, and In
conseq uenee but little stock had
been kept, and as there was no
manure, no hoed crops of any
amount had been raised. It cut
the first season he went on to it,
just FIVE loads of hay, against from
twenty to thirty tons when In its
best condition years previous. For
tunately, he took possession Of it in
the spring; but unfortunately he
had but little stock and no money.
He commenced turning under the
old sod, and to nee his own words
There is great manurial value IN
old grass roots, truth which more
farmers ought to find out by actual
trial. He broke from three to five
acres per year of the worn moving
field SO exhausted they would hard
ly pay for the going over with a
scythe. The course was to break
up, SOW oats for fodder, seed down,
NOW one year, and then go over
the same rotation. In the course
of a few years the land had by this
system got IN so good heart as to
bear keeping up two and three
years.
By sowing oats in this way for
fodder, he was enabled to keep
some stock the first winter, with
the aid of the small amount Of hay
cut, some roots and corn. Together
with this plan of proceeding,
one of the first operations was to
purchase two COWS, and engage in
breeding swine. He hauled muck
into the barn-yards and hog yards,
kept pigs at work; and besides
selling some pork, and making
enough for the wants of his own
family. and the first fall very lib
eral quantity of superior manure
with which to top-dress q field that
had apparently been cropped less
than the other. The next haying
season this field yielded a very good
crop.
By this course a good start was
obtained, and in years Immediately
following that upon which he took
charge of the farm, his crops in
creased in amount in proportion to
the quantity of manure applied
and as his means of feeding the
land became extensive, his land IL
return gave bountiful crops. But
the same course was followed
} through a number Of years as wal
adopted at first. Grass roots were
turned under, one or two crops O.
hay taken of, and the land wal
again plowed up. Muck contribu
ted to the bulk and value of thu
manure heaps, and every means fol
making and saving manure al
adopted. In ten years the farm Gu
forty tons of hay, and by good
management has continued unit
now, being regarded as one of tn,
best farms in Kennebec county.

There must be some merit IN pub
LEGATION which has attained a POPULAR
ty unprecedented, we believe, IN this
country. Works which reach . circu-
lation Of ten or twenty Thousand are
ranked as successful, and emphasieany
so if they double that number. But
here We have pamphlet, truly prsCti-
cal, indeed, of which hve hundred
thousand copies Of the editions Of ISL
were distributed. What those Of the
present year may reach we can only
conjecture. And it is not alone in
English the little messages reaches
the public eye; Transitions in German
and in Swedish are also demanded by
that portion Of our rural population
not yet domesticated among as long
enough to speak the Languages Of theiF
adopted country.
What q useful lesson does The pro-
gress of the Landreths teach :-HOw
plainly does it say, "hold fast TO one
business object" cherish one indus
trial idea"-"be not diverted by the
glitter of more promising pursuits than
that in which We may be engaged, and
which may entice only to disappoint. I"
More than three-quarters of oentu-
~ ago, tho predecessors of the Ian
dreths embarked in the seed trade
little by little, and it was little enough,
as we are told, in the beginning, Cat
which time our confederation embraced
thirteen colonies, and now grown to be
forty united States,) has the business
of the Landreths advanced and aug
mented, until now it is said TO be the
largest of the kind not only in this
country, but In the world; and en-
braces six hundred acres in drilled and
transpIanted crops, under the personal
charge of the proprietors, who, them
selves, raise the seeds only of the
choicer varieties of vegetables, which
require special care-the coarser sorts
being grown for their account by out
side parties.
It is to give brief hints and instruc
tions to their customers, greater in the

Dormant Vitality In Seeds.

In an article last week, on the
curious and interesting subject of
domant vitality in certain classes of
animated beings, q subject which,
has not received the attention
among scientific men which it claims,
and which also has important prac-
teal bearings, we alluded to the
fact that seeds which have the
germs of vegetable life within them
are much more generally subject to
thea same phenomenon. When a
seed is perfected, it does not at once
springaupyinto aTplantfor tree. The
life that is in the seed may remain
dormant for an indefinite length of
time. Instemperature and cold re-
gions, all seeds continue in this
state during the winter season.
Every granary is a storehouse OF
seeds which seem perfectly inert,
lifeless, and they viii remain so
until heat and moisture revive
them. How long seeds will remain
In this state without losing their
vitality has been a question. It has
been asserted that wheat enclosed
in sarcophagi with Egyptian mum
mics for thousands of years, has
vegetated. Wheat said to have
been reproduced from such seed,
has been sold in the market.
There is nothing in this incon-
sistent with the analogy of other
facts. DR.. Lindley, the eminent
English botanist, says: I have now
before me three plants of rasp berries,
which have been raised in the gar
dens of the Horticultural Society,
from seeds taken from the stomach
of a man whose skeleton was found
thirty feet below the surface of the
earth, at the bottom of a barrow
that was opened near Dorchester.
He had been buried with some coins
OF the Emperor Hadrian, and it is
probable, therefore, that the seeds
were 1000 or ZOO years old"
Numerous cases are recorded III
which earth thrown up from a
considerable depth has become COW
cred with a vegetation foreign to
the neighborhood in which It sp-
pears, and the germs of which must
have remained dormant for a great
length Of time. The fact that seeds
retain their vitality from year to
year, when exposed to atmospheric
Influences, makes it appear highly
probable that they will retain it for
a much longer period, how long no
one can say, when light and heat
and moisture are withdrawn.
It is fact with which the agri-
euiturist is perfectly aware, that
seeds are not so apt to germinate
on being kept over from year to
year. This is owing to the effect of
exposure to the atmosphere and
other influences, and every farmer
and gardener should be particular
to obtain the freshest seed for
planting. Sometimes a crop is lost
or greatly diminished, by the age of
the seed
This whole subject is one of
scientific and practical interest, and
as such we commend it to the at
tention and investigation Of our
readers.

Bakers Steam Engine.

But few articles exhibited at the
late Fair In the american Institute an
Ne1O York attracted so much attention
as the famous Baxter Steam Engine,
few testimonials regarding which,
out Of several hundred that have been
forwarded to the Company, are appen-
ded hereto. The purposes to which
this compact steam engine can be ap-
piled are innumerable, the demand for
it coming from manufacturers of every
class, from printing establishments,
and even from farmers, who find 1T an
admirable and economical substitute
for horse labor. The principal adxan-
tages belonging to the Baxter Steam
Engine are its portability, the ease
with which it is worked, its economy
in fuel, and the immunity from explO-
sion ensured by its peculiar construc-
ton. We freely endorse all the state
ments set forth In the testimonials with
regard to the qualities of this paragon
of steam engines, and it viii be to the
advantage of any of our Southern
