The reputation ithas attained, in consequence OF
last half century, is a sufficient assurance 10 the
public that il will continue to realize the happest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary a1ec-
tions. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties ofbronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
AS Safeguard to children, amid the distress
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest OF
Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, rs
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used it
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.

Flower Gardens.

An English writer, lately visiting our
country, writes: can conceive of nothing
more dreary than to live in the country
and have no garden. To have no garden
is to take the poetry and nearly all the
charms away from country life. To have
garden is to have many friends continually
near.
| have little faith in American women
becoming farmers-holding the plough,
welding the spade or the shovel, but do
know that all the rest of the work can be
accomplished by women, if they possess a
love for the beautiful. There lies the
trouble-few of our children are taught to
garden. If they possess a natural taste for
the pursuit, sometimes it is gratified, but
not always.
The first thing necessary after well pre-
pairing the soil, is to purchase garden tools,
q small set, comprising rake and hoe on
one handle; trowl and spade are very
essential. With their aid much can be
accomplished.
A watering pot with large nozzle, and a
fine sprinkler is also required. With these
implements every woman can be her own
gardener, and not only raise all the flowers
she may require, but also contribute large
share of the vegetables that are always vel
coined at the table during both summer
and winter.
Every morning dig one or two beds
according to the size, and continue the
work until all are cleared up. Then COM
mence again, and this prevents the soil
from becoming baked, and let's the air and
moisture enter the earth and nourish the
tender roots. The next thing is the selec-
ton Of seeds, which is very important
matter, and on the wisdom of the choice
success or failure may depend.
Those who have had little experience
should invest cautiously and in the more
hardy and popular kinds, such as asters
balsams, stocks, petunias, znnias, &c, with
a few of a more tender kind just for trial

The experience of the best farmers
advantage of growing root crops in a system
of high or advanced farming in which
either stock or dairy products are pro-
duced for the market. In country where
grain is so cheaply produced as it is in this
country, there is not the same necessity for
the production of roots as in the more popu-
lous countries; buteven here and especially
in the New England and Middle States
they are a profitable product for any
stock or dairy farm. Corn meal may be
cheaper as fat producing product, and
wheat and wheat bran as a butter and
cream producing feed, but both are aided
in their special function by supply of
clean, juicy and wholesome roots; which
tend to keep up the appetite and health of
the animal and promote fuller and freer
circulation of blood and consequently secre-
ton of milk and cream as well. 1t is per-
haps more as health promoter and blood
purifier that the use.Qf roots as stock feed
are to be commended rhn upon any other
ground; though they do contain large
amount of nutriment as well as fat prOduc-
ing qualities. Of all, we believe the carrot
to be the best, the sugar beet second, and
the turnips third. Because of the larger
products that can be obtained from the
sugar beet, these are considered the most
economical roots to grow and are now
generally recommended as preferable to all
others. We prefer still to grow some car
rots though our main crop of roots is beets

Late potatoes may be safely planted in
this climate so late as July lst. They
generally do better planted at this time
than earlier, because they require colder
climate than ours, and when planted late
they mature in the cold nights of Autumn
instead of in the hot ones of Summer. If
the Autumn is not too dry they always do
best planted late. One trouble which we
frequently have in late planting is in the
bad termination of the seed. This may be
remedied by bedding the seed as we do
sweet potatoes and taking up the sprouts
and transplanting them. By this method
we can assure a good stand, and bushel
of seed thu 'ras.od will plant twice as
much cr. bed them, split them
open the long way and lay them in the bed
fat side down and cover with four inche:
of moist earth. They will sprout rapidly
and may be transplanted after shower o.
when the earth is wet-B.

Harrow the young corn deeply, close to
the plant, and be sure to get the soil we'll
and deeply pulverized while the plants are
young and before the roots spread too
widely. The ground must be pulverized
and the grass all cleaned out while the corn
is young, or it is impossible to get a full
crop. When the plants get to be foot
high harrow only every alternate row so
that the roots of the plant will not be cut
off on both sides at the same time. If you
harrow both sides Of the row at the same
time, after the corn is so large it will stun
the growth. The three first harrowings
make the crop, and if these are not done
well it will be too late to remedy the evil.
Work quickly and thoroughly while the corn
is young.

Results or ARTIFICIAL SHAD IIATcH.
NG.-WAsHINGroS April 22.-Appro-
priations were made by Congress few
mouths ago, at the special request of
the fish commissioners Of Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia, TO test the
efficiency OF new apparatus invented
by Mr. I. Il. Ferguson, the fish com
missioner Of Mary land, for Matching
sbad. In this machine the necessary
agitation is given TO the eggs, while
developing; by steam machinery, IN
stead Of depending upon current of
water. This apparatus is kept partly
upon scows anchored near the fshirg
stations, and partly upon steam laurches
aud steamers engaged in collecting the
eggs from different fisheries on the
different rivers in North Carolina, where
the ripe sbad are now being taken.
Though the work has only been prose
cuted thus far .hls season bnt little over
two weeks, yet the result accomplished
is already greater than that aiiain,d
during any entire previous season, and
Mr. Ferguson will arrive in Washing.
Ton tomorrow afternoon with eight
hundred thousand young sbad for dis
t.ibution in the waters Of Mar, land

A HOME MADE TELErmoNE.-An eX-
change gives the following receipt for
making telephone, which may afford
much pleasure and amusement TO our
youthful readers, as well as older per-
sons Considering that the materials
necessary to make the instrument are
within reach of all, il is worth while
trying to experiment:
/ noticed cheap receipt for making
a cheap telephone, given by Professor
Barrett in a recent lecture on that in
strument. In making his instrument
you use bar magnet and have TO go to
considerable trouble, for all of which
you can only talk distance Of about a
hundred yards Now | can give n
receipt much more simple, aud when the
instrument is finished you can converse
at n distance Of nearly five hundred
yards. Take two half gallon (or qnarD
tin fruit cans and take the bottoms ont
of them. Now take couple OF half
cigar boxes, tack down the lids ard cut
a hole through the bottom and lid Of
each, so you can fit in your cans, first
bringing the ends level with the lid or
bottom. Now stretch wet rawhide,
parchment or bladder over the other
end and tie tight, and your speaking
tubes are finished. Now take two ply
Of shoe thread and wax it well, making
it as long as you wish it. Punch holo
in the centre Of the parchment head,
poke the end Of the string through aud
put knot on it to keep it from pulling
back. Then put up your string like a
telegraph wire, but don't let it touch
wood Where you wish TO support it
or make turn, unite through loop of
the same kind of string it il, but don't
put the supporting loops closer together
than is necessary to keep it up, and
leave the string pretty losse 10 allow
for contraction when wet. Fasten up
your speaking tubes at each end Of tho
route, and you are ready TO gable away.
You can bore large gimlet holes in your
window sash 10 run the line out through,
keeping it from touching the sash with
a loop as described. The signal call is
to drum on the parchment end OF The
can with your fingers, or better pick the
string like harp about loot from tho
head. They are very useful and inter
estIDg.

.DERATARLE QUESTION.

While much has been written con-
cerning the use of "put up medicines,
the question is still an open one, and
demands of the people careful consid-
Grafton. The salient points may be
briefly stated, and answered as follows:
lst-Are the sick capable OF deternl".
ing their real condition, the nature OF
their malady, aud selecting the proper
remedy or means Of cure! 2nd-Cana n
physician, no matter how skillful, pre-
pare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar aiment of large class OF peo-
pie residing in different latItndes, aud
subject TO various climatic influences!
In answer TO the first proposition, We
would say, diseases are named aud
known by certain "signs or symptoms,
and, as the mother does not need phy-
sician 10 tell her that her child has the
whooping cough, or indicate remedy,
so people when afflicted with many OF
the symptoms concomitant to 'impure
blood" torpid liver, and "bad diges-
ton" require no other knowledge of
their condition, or the remedy indicated,
than they already possess. Second
propcsition-Many physicians argue
that diseases are 4sec,ionally peculiar,
aud that their treatment must therefore
vary, and yet quiniue, morphine, podo-
phylln, and hundreds of other remedies
are prescribed in all countries TO over
come certain conditions. Is it not, there
fore, selfevident that physician whose
large experience has made him familiar
with the many phases incident TO all
impurities of the blood, general and
nervous dsbifity, Hrer complaint, dys-
pspsi0, consumption, and rafarrh, can
prepare series of remedies exactly
adapted to meet the conditions manifest,
wherever, and by whatever means, It
may have been engendered The family
medicines prepared by II. '. Pierce, NJ.
d., of Buffalo, n. V, fulfill the above
requirements. Many physicians Pre-
scribe them in their practice. His Gold

physicians have failed. Ills Pleasant

are safe and certain cure for torpid
