DR.. ScHENCK's PuLMoNIc SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PIILs-These med
icines lave undoubtedly performed more cures Of
Consumption han any other remedy known to the
American public They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the. human constitution Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which ls a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and. IL taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury;
for its tendency is to conine the morbid matter in
the system, which. of course must make a cure
impossible. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle OF opium. II Ia
composed OF powerful but harmless herbs. which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood and
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
the diseased matter from the body, These are the
only means b. which Consumption can be cured
and, 40 Schencks Pulmonic Syrup Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, 1t is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle OF this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions, Dr. Schenck is

The Treatment Of Orchards.

An orchard in grass IS very pleasant
sight as long as the trees remain thrifty,
but it is nothing like business to keep an
orchard in grass II man wants to grow
fruit as business and means of livel-
hood, he does not want to make a wooded
lawn of his orchard he wants to make
the trees produce as much and as regular
" as possible. This cannot be done with
the orchard in grass. The ground must
not be occupied so as to interfere with the
proper nourishment of the tree. When
apple trees reach the age OF ten or twelve
years, there is not much space for any
crop between them; their roots reach out
well into the intervening spaces between
the trees, and we doubt very much the
economy Of growing anything but trees
and fruit on the same soil. One reason
why trees do not bear every year is because
the fruit-germs are not formed and cannot
be formed under the system of treatment
usually adopted by growing some other
crop among the trees. Mr.. Pel caused
his Newtown pippins to bear fruit
every year by constant manuring
with such materials as the trees
required to produce fruit, which
he did not allow some other crop
w Odt up "A wv ch'tIN pOai
fruit every year. and if it does not it is
because it does not get materials enough
to make wood and fruit out of. We can
not be content with the growth and yield
of our trees, but we must tax the soil with
more than it can justly or profitably bear,
We thus curtail the growth of the trees
and the production of fruit. Another
point worthy Of attention in the treatment
of orchards is that OF pruning. Many
orchardists prune once Il year or once
in two years, just as is convenient.
A tree that is growing rapidly needs
pruning two or three times year. If a
branch grows to be the size of finger and
three feet long, and is then first seen TO be
useless and an encumbrance, there is so
much strength or nourishment wasted
nourishment which ought to have gone to
produce fruit and branches which are
needed. The careful fruit-grower will
catch sight Of these useless branches
when small and remove them before they
draw much support from the tree.-Detroft

Cleanliness ard Health.

LAST week we had something to say
about the importance of pure water for
farm stock. OF not less importance than
this is cleanliness, without which animals
are seldom Kept in good health. But
there are various degrees OF cleanliness,
and where one farmer thinks cleaning out
the stables once month is doing pretty
well, another would consider doing so less
than twice q day gross negligence. To
the careful farmer the leaving of eNcre-
ment OF animals in their stalls from one
10 three or six months, compelling them
TO wallow in il for that length Of time,
would appear to be an otiense 10 common
decency; still, we have had scores of let
ters from farmers in the South and West
who say that this isavery general practice,
and we have known cases almost as bad
among those of the EmpTre State. Men
who will be so negligent in regard to Civ
ing their animals clean stalls and beds,
are very likely TO be equally lax in pro
viding them with food, water, and proper
shelter.
Negligence in one particular means

The True Medical Philosophy.

The remarkable cures Of dyspepsia, con
stipation, general debility Intermittent and
remittcnt feverS, nervousness, mental de-
spondency, and host of other ailments, by
that popular botanic invigorant and altera-
tive, Hostcter's Stomach Bitters, prove that
TO gual,ze, not dcplete, the sick, is the true
medical philosophy. Under the old system
patients underwent course of treatment
that often had the effect of exhausting their
few remaining energies Drastic purgation,
aud the administration Of violent remedies
with weakening reaction, were frequently
and most unnecessarily rcsortcd to in cases
where invigoration combined with mild reg
uiative treatment was the sole desideratum.
That this unwise mode Of medication has
been to great extent abandoned is in no
small degree due TO the success which has
attended the peerless remedy above named.

What to do With NOn.Heading Cab.
bages.

LAST autumn was mourning over an
unusual number of halt developed cab
bages, which were only fit to be fed to the
cows, and mentioned the fact to a Dutch
ess County farmer, who is in business in
New York, and has lately bought farm
near us, asking if his crop had turned out
badly. His answer was, that he had no
more soft heads than he wanted, or to
the effect that he would feel disappointed
if he had not considerable number. Now
we, neither of us, raise cabbages for mar
ket, but for our own consumption mainly,
and was utterly at loss to know what
he could do with quarter of his crop
that failed to make heads.
He told me that he dug wide trench,
50 deep that after some top soil was
thrown in he could set the cabbages out
in the trench as close as they could stand,
and their heads would not come up level
with the top of the ground. When plant
ed, he covers the trench With boards and
some brush, corn stalks, salt-hay and
earth on the top, keeping it open at the
ends or elsewhere until cold weather, and
then covering it in close. He said they
would all have firm, solid heads in the
spring.
L ulcu IL, anu dt tilc llult WTlle \hpTlil
we are enjoying the best cabbages we ever
ate. They are rather small to be market
able say tour and a half to six inches in
diameter, solid and sound, crisp and ten
der, as delicate as caulitiowers, and what
is most remarkable, l never know when
we are going to have cabbage for dinner
until see it upon the table. The great
objection have to this most wholesome
and delicious vegetable is, that it usually
fills the house with its perfectly detesta-
bic odor, SO to have cabbage without this
drawback is worth all the trouble it costs.
If these winter headed cabbages could
once become known in the market, am
confident their merits would command
for them a ready sale all through the
spring. The cabbages in market at this
season are pretty poor. They are very
apt to be slightly decayed, will keep but a
little while, as they will at once, and soon
after rot. | wish now that had enough
to test the market with, but | have not,
and write this partly IN the hope that
somebody else will do it next year.

The Absorbent Powers OF Soils.

Sir Humphrey Davy was the first chem.
list that ever gave regular course of lee
lures on Agriculture, which were in the
first and second decades of this century,
before the British Board of Agriculture,
in the city of London. He found by eX-
pertinent that 1000 pounds of Every
fertile soil from East Lothian, mace per.
tectly dry, gained eighteen pounds
weight in an hour" exposed to the com
mon air in the city named. A very fer
tile soil from Somersetshire gained six
teen pounds in the same time. A sandy
soil from Essex gained eleven pounds. A
soil Of Bagshot heath gained only three
pounds. One hundred and six pounds OF
dry quartz sand placed in a proper vessel
absorbed twenty -five pounds of water be.
fore any came through so as to drop
Calcareous sand THAT from lime rock took
up twenty-nlne pounds of water before
dropping. A loamy soil, forty pounds
English chalk, gained forty five pounds
clay loam, in the neighborhood of fifty
pounds; pure clay seventy pounds. Here
the practical farmer has evidence where q
reliable man found 106 pounds of pure
clay, thoroughly dried, probably in q
large stove, took seventy pounds OF water
before one drop passed out OF it. Such q
so!i IS too tenacious of water, and has an
excess of clay. 1t needs understanding

more loamy open soil that will hold forty
pounds OF water in 100 of earth, is best fol
