By this node of culture Mr. WURDI

plan. Tbeic ia eertaiuly no risk in it.
Castor Oil. *
Ono or two of our farmers, to oi
knowledge, experimented last Reason w i
thc Palma ChriHi. Did they attempt
make castor oil ? And if yea, will tnt
not inform the public of the result? Ai
if they did no more than save seed, ct
they nol place a portion of thom ? tn tl

simple process by which the nil is tnadt
and a bii?hel of sei d will turu out son
five or six quarts of the 'nest oil. lt won
seem that every farmer could easily mat
his own supply of this very useful, ai
now very. scarce and expensive, artiei
We hope those who have "the seed I
spare will puttherti in circulation.
Hops t Hops ! Hops !
Who' has any hops to spare '.' Or wi

amongst their neighbors ? Soda and sale

get-ables of these w ar .times, and we mu

TUE F A KM CH'S CREED.-One of oui
exchanges gives the following first; rat?
advice under the heading of ** The Farm
er's Creed :*' . . .
" We believe in small firms and tho
rough cultivation. The soil love? to eat
t as well as its.owoers, and therefore to be
nurtured. We believe in large-crops,
which leave the land .better than (hey
lound it-making both the farm and farm
er ?-ich at once. We believe in going to
the; bottom of things, and therefore in
rteop ploughing, and enough of it-all the
r-:'crif wiih a sub-oil plough. VVe be
lt, ve i hat the best fertility of any soil ?s
?ht? spirit of industry, enterprise" and in
telligence---without this, lime and gvp
sto l,, bone* and green manure, mat I or
)?b-?ter, will be of little use. We believe
in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a
.?pinning piauo, a clean cupboard, dairy
and'coiir?ience. W'e firmly disbelieve it.
/armers that will not improve; uvfarrns

.Hygienic lutlueitce of Trees.
i The. eui ti vat ion of forest trees is I
j coming mnie and more a subject of* se:
? ous cousideration among putdic cern
! mists..
j The relation of trees to the coin <)r
j and conveniences ot ul'.-, ?nd th.- gre
question tor a future supply, which nrisi
in view of the continual dost tuet ion
our forests, has attracted the al loni iou i
the best intellects of our country.
To the physician the subject has an hi
ditional importance ??ti view of the byg'n
nie influence of trees upon ihc atruospher
and consequently -upon the human systen
both in health and disease.
lt is well known that new diseases mak
i heir-appearance as the forests arc oleare
away, and tho superior physical nowt
and health of backwoodsmen over the ii
btbitauti of treeless plains, has al way
Oeeii acknowledged.
The influence of animal and Veget?bl
life,' one upon the other, .has not escape
the uti en I ion of observing men; but lil
. tlc or itt? effort has been made to' infom
the puiilio of many fads iu conni litio;
with this subject, which it is vitally.ini
portant should be. known;.and a whole
sale destruction of our forest trees ha
gone nu to an" extent that ihreatens tt
h ave us, at a time not f-r in ih? future
comparatively destitute of the great pridt
of America-its.forests.
The physiological influerice of trees o!
all sorts is apparent to every one whe
knows the avidity%with which they absori
j carbon and ammonia, the. two great ex
i tractions of ani mardi te, which, if left-free
; in the atmosphere^ rtodcr poisonous the
air we breathe Tj
The planting of trees in our cities, and
ihe preservation of forests, would do mm e.
to preserve the ptiBjio heslth than many
other more hygienic expensive measures.

Advice to Younis: Ladies.
" Kt.LA DAL?-/' contributed a sensil
letter to the American CW/o/f Pinn ter,
fore that paper's suspension. We - cu
ir. in part for the benefit of the UU
kweetures* Wi whom lt refers :
M I will In-re drop a word to the yon
ladies, as I nm one of that class. \
have, bad lectures upon modesty;
htiVe'tn-eii told to .st inly the graces;
have had th> proper kind of honks to rr
mid study carefully pointed ont tons;
have been instructed t? use our lattin:
properly ; all, all of whic h, if Tightly
tended to, will be nf much benefit ti>
Yet while we are attending tu these :
eessities, let. us not forgot anni her duty
HUH h importance which is *' Domes
Economy and industry."
How often do wo hear it remarked tl
the young Indie? of the present ape i
sadly deficient in domestic business,
will here propound a question. Win
is the. fault ? is it the parents or UiedH?j
ters? "-Bring up a child in the way
>houid co, and when old itwiU notdep
frotti it." Let us l.epitr with the. n
year,' atid let us see. whit we. can aeco
plis.h by persseveruwe and industry ere
autumnal winds begin to blow. J thi
some, of IH would be-almost startled
realize what our tiny bands wu ld do. I
the burden of domestic affairs no loin
devolve upon our morbera, but. take tin
upon ourselves ?nd let the old ladies
cozily in *he corner, smoke their pij
and knit stockings.
"None of us are so wise but we m
yet improve. We should study a:
practice the domestic arts. Every y om
lady sh ?n d be her own mantua make
she should display her skill with necc
and ee?ssors.nn papa's pants or brothel
shins. What if they are patched ai
darned, and turned to the best advanta?i
'it is a typo of domestic economy, ai
one which no young lady should ever i
ashamed to own. A young lady can I
as graceful in I he kitchen moulding tl
biscuit and making the sparkling cup
coffee, as in the most costly and rich!
furnished parlor. The. lilly white hand
no type nf domestic industry ; they wi
do ttl pile stitch upon stitch on some us
fess piece of embroidery which only plea
es the. eye, but they cannot bake the brea
churn thu miik, and roast the turka
without becoming a I itt I o roughed."
"Methinks I hear you say "I have r
taste for domestic business, besides I c;
live without such labor.'1 You shoitl
cultivate a taste for it; it will endear yt
to home, and cause lies' of affect iou I
spring np for home, which you have nc
er before cherished. You will wear
brighter smile, a more cheerful counte
ance, and insure health and happiness,
you possess fortune's smiles, and canlh
without doing such work yourself, yo
should knowhow to have it done. D'
mestic business should never bc left I
servants aloin1. You should be prepare
for the emergencies of life ; ii is caster i
j ifuit work than to begin it. Therefor
i wo should learn to work while vounj,
j and thoa if necessity compels us to labe
j in a fi cr years, half I lie work will IK? a
j CoMVplished : fickle fortune, dcingcth not t
ask us when or whither she bioweih hr.
adveran wind.. If yonlli is spent in ?dh
ness, it is a dillicult task to begin wor
when older.
?. Let ns no longer be thc brilliant sta
j bf gay and fashionable circle*) but th
j polar star of our own domestic circle;
and'the joy and comfort td' thc loved ont
that cluster around our homes. We ca
then indeed say, home, sweet homo. I4e
us renew our vigor, redouble our energy
and nulli pl the banner of domestic conni
my and industry; and wave it independen)
ly all over this land and country, and luu
ten tho time when it shall no longer b
j said that the young Indies are deficient ii
j domestic liii^mr.-s. ' And may our exam
I pie be as bread cast upon tbs waters, ti
be gathered many days hence, by thc ri
sing generation.' "
Bu KEEPING -Tho keeping of honey
boes might be made A source, of consid
erablc profit to every planter. As it is
but few persons are found who devote th?
leitst thought to this subject. One maj
now and then be. found who keeps bees
but it is in the old fogy hives, and tin
bees left entirely .without care or attcti
lion. They continue this for a few year:
until the hee-innlb destroys the broods
and ihe final conclusion j* that M bees d<
not pay ?"' Now, let; tho bee-keeper gel
'. Lungstroth's Movable-comb IIiv.e,v anti
the accompanying book of instructions
and we may venture to assert that, with
a little attention, the difficulties of bee
keeping .will be entirely removed. In
this ll ive, the operations of the bees may
be viewed at ?ny time wit out the least
danger lu l he observer, or interruption ol
the work of the bees. Our limited space
prevents us from a more extended notice
in this nuihber, but we shall recur to it
hereafter, lu the meantime we invite an
examination of the Hives, and thc bees
at work, at thc residence of Col. ll. H.

CHEAP WASHING.-Mr. T. C. Hobson,
of Greensboro, Ala., who has witnessed
an economical and gratifying experiment
in thc washing line, give it to the public
j thus :
With a tpiiintity of Buckeye root,
i washed and sliced, a 1ub full of hot water
I was readily and rapidly -made into "suds."
i In ibis mixoirc a'number of various color
' ed woolen garments were speedily washed
! free of all dirt and all slain, without the
? least perceptible injury lo any of the tcx
j tyre*. On the contrary, the washing-had
! the effect of fixing and brightening all the
colors. Even those prints that fade in
water a one, were It-it intact and as beau
tiful as ne?. The mixture was allowed
to become lukewarm before immersn g
the cloths, and two tubs full were used in
thc process, carrying thc articles washed
from ??ne into thc oilier I knew this fact
many"years ago but this is the first, time
thai ? have seen it tried, lt washes silk j
gs nicely as it does woolen goods.

BLISS'
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY!
IT is customary n<>w-a-day* for the proprietors
und propeller.* of patent medteiucs to array
before the public eyedn the most glowing colors,
account* ul* miraculous cures, and at the same
lime complain of tho poverty bf tho English lan
guage as beih g inadequate to convey ideas that
would do justice to their medical preparations.
Now the proprietor pf the-aliove-nuiuod prepara
tion don't intend to pursue any such coarse, but
?rill bc content to MIV, candidly, to tb? people,
what his preparation hos done and will do. The
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY needs no such propping
up by any such cunningly devised fables. BLISS,
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY is the only reliable pre
pan'ion now before the people for ALL DIS
EASES OF THE STOMACH, and those other
diseases that bave their origin in disease of that
organ. It bas again and again cured when all
other preparations have failud. Its merits have
been disoussed by physicians in counsel. It has
often been pre-judged and thjpwn aside by phy
sicians nnd consigned to the tomb of quack hum
bugs, and afterward* reitored to ?nore congenial
clime on terra firma, to be ndmi'tistered to their
worn-out and exhausted patients, and with the
MOST PERFECT SUCCESS. It bas been tested
and recommeudedkby the most eminent physicians
of the conntry, and one and all who have thor
vnghly tested it in-good faith, are unanimous in
its praise. It will CURE IHK WORST FORMS o
DYSPEPSIA,
Liver Disease, Constipation,
AND AeQREAT MANY OTHER DISEA8
having their origin in Disease of the Stomach
For the above mentioned diseases, it li a sov
ereign remedy, and will not fail in effecting' a
care If the patient ls not too penurious to perse
vero in the taking of the Remedy. If one pack
age don't oura you, fry another, ?nd ?Hil another,
and rest assured it will not fail in accomplishing
all that is promised. And another thing jon
any rest assured of, that yon cannot take it long
without ceeing and feeling that it has already be
gun to benefit you ; and if so, continue taking it
regularly, and follow out all the directions-and
yon WILL SOON EE WELL AGA IN.
