Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
/ edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
1t frequently extends 20 the top Of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness the bowels in
general are co5tive. sometimes alter
native with lax the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
oimemory,a accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. a slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. q The patient
complains Of WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prlCkly sensation Of the skin his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal TO him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
lsted, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively dcranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DIR. c. MtLANE's LIVER Pills,
IN CASES or AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine. We
would advise all who are afflicted
with this disease to give them A
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un-
equalcd.

RooTs FOR SHEEP IN WINTER DR..
Boynton gives in the Waterman the
following sensible advice on feeding
turnips "The fact which should de-
eide what use should be made of tuI-
nips in winter feeding, is rot how ma
ny pounds of turnips are equal to one
hundred pounds Of hay, and what is
the relative cost of their production
but il is this stock docs better with
than without them; therefore feed
them. TurniIs furnish much that the
animal gains 10y direct contact with the
soil in summer, and which meets q
necessity Of the aninbll organization
that dry food alone fails to supply.
How much good Il given amount Of tur-
nips will do tan animal il not to he de-
termined by the amount of nutriment
the chemist may find in them, but 10y
the noticeable fact TINT a flock will
thrive better on n lees amount Of hay
and grain where IL daily ration of tur-
nips Is fed. The amount to he fed,
each man will regulate according to
circumstances. A bushel per day to
sevsnty-five sheep, is fur allowance,
and may be increased to advantage, es-
peciallY with breeding ewes, as they
approach their weaving tine, Having
been cut, they should be put into a
trough, and the daily allowance Of
meal for the flock sprinkled upon
them, and both will be eaten with
greater relish than If fed alone"

4IAnt really do my v.Aitor
/. -uowed him specimens OF
s..s rocks, and tried TO explain to
,. lie Theological appearances by
which he might be able to determine
with sufficient accuracy for ordinary
purposes, whether any particular spec
linen was pure, OF whether other rocks
or earths were in combination with it
that an analysis of IA specimen of rock
did not show the true quality of the
ground plaster that was sold in the
market as coming from the same quar-
ry that produced the specimen.
The truth of this assertion is i'm
pressed upon me by letter just re-
cevcd from the secretary of the State
Agricultural Society, Thomas l.. Har-
rlson, in which he says: Mr.. Habir-
shaw says he has examined samples of
the Elba and Cayuga gypsums for the
Batavia Farmers Club, and found the
Elba to contain 1927 per cent of sui
Bhate Of lime. and the Cayuga 71.75 per
cent.-a greater difference than seems
possible, unless there was very favor
able sample of one, and unfavorable Of
the other" am well acquainted with
the plaster quarrled on the cast shores
of Cayuga Lake, having many times
seen the rock in great piles awaiting
shipment; and have noticed the very
small proportion of anything but the
fully crystalliaed sulphate of lime. Yet
might have selected from these piles
some mixed plaster aud slate joined ia
each other, that would have given q
worse analysis than that sent to me 10y
Mr.. Harrison.
The simple truth Of tbs matter is
pure gypsum is found in all the beds
that | have seen nut alongside ano
often mixed with the gypsum, have
been seen other rocks, in varying quan
titles, aud in various modes of combi
nation. The men who quarry the gyp
sum should reject all foreign substan
ees, and save only the pure. When
was making my survey Of this county
OF Onondags, for the New-York Stat
Agricultural Society, the report o
