Superphosphate of lime,or ground bone dissolved in sulphuric acid, seems to suit all soils, and on many of our farm s it is the great require ment. Nature has furnished to most soils but a limited allowance of soluble phosphoric acid, and the cause of the unprodLctiveness of many of our farms is owing to the exhaustion of this indispensable element of plant food. Every load of hay, bushel of grain, can of milk, or animal that is sold from the farm, removes more or less phosphate of lime. Whether it is to be used alone as a special ma nure, an ingredient of a stockbridge formula, or in any other combina tion, it may be made on the farm very much cheaper than it can be bought of the phosphate dealers. I cannot agree with men who show how important it is to the farmer, then tell him he had better buy it already prepared than to try to make it himself. It is safely and easily prepared by the following method, which I have used : Take one of the tubs formed by dividing a sound_ molasses hogs head through the middle; into this put three-fourths of a barrel of fine steamed bone, or about 150 pounds, and apply four or five pails of water to the bone, or just enough to moisten it through, and stir thoroughly ; have ready an old earthen jar or pitcher, and into tis pour the acid, so as to measure or weigh it, and ta*king care to have the hands covered, and to pour slowly, in order to avoid spilling ors sattering it into the eyes. Pour the iacid from the piteher slowly into the bone ; and have your assis tant stir it with a hoe, and when the effervescence subsides, refill the pitcher and apply as before, and so continue until you have used from sixty to seventy pounds, or nlearly fon: gallons of acid;th, h:avin~g stirredi it up thoroughlyi from the bottom, leave it until the next day; then stir in the remain| deOr of the barrel of bone, and~ shovel it out on the floor to dry. It should be shoveled over occasional iv,:nd the lamps cut or crushed un t~il it is fine. If dry dirt is h:ndy a hlni may be mixed witih it, but if not, it is about as well to use it clear; but great care must be ta ken to cover or tiX it inl the sel before the seedi is phmnted, as, if tlhced in contact with the seed, it would fail to germinate. A carboy of acid weighing from 165 to 175 pounds will be about the right quantity for 500 pounds of bone, using from thirty-three to thirty-five pounds of acid to 100 pounds of bone, this may not be quite acid enough to thoroughly dissolve the bone, unless it is very strong, but it is better to leave a little of the bone undissoived thain to leave any free acid. By apply in g all the acid to three-fourths of the bone at first, we have acid e-nough to thoroughly dissolve that much bone; then, by adding the remainder of the bone afterward, se use any free acid that may be left. I prefer steamed to raw bone, because it is usually finer, it dis solves easier, containing less water, and a larger proportion of phos phoric acid. It is also very muc better to buy fine than coarse ground bone, "because the acid will not dlissolve the large pieces found in the coarse bone, and they will be inactive in thle svil a long time.

SE3II-A :NUAL PLAN.-The year is divid ed into 2 Sessions of 20 weeks, each follow ed by a vacation of c weeks. New pupils can be classiied as well one session as the other. This plan has great advantages, too numerous for our space. 2. ONE-STUDY FEATURE.-Instead of seve ral difcult subjects at once, each pupil pursues one leading study at a time, thus enjoying the benefits, and forming the hab it, of concentrated attention. The follow ing paragral)h will explain the plan. The Regailar College Course embraces 4 departments. each coutaining C sessional studies. Each session is divided into 4 sec tions of -> weeks. The 1st section is iavoted to Belle s-Lettres ; the 2d.to Natural Science; the 3d, to Mathematics; the 4th, to Latin. Each pupil has 3 recitations a day in her appropriate department study. 1 in the cor responding elementary branch, and 1 in spelling. This system is developing new advantages ahnnst every day. 3. PREmUMS.-Every pupil whose two ses sional reports average 75 or more is entitled to a discout of 10 to 50 per cent. from her next session's regular tuition. 4. GENERAL READING--Every pupil is re quired to read each day a prescribed num her of pages in some valuable standard book. 5. THE CHIALYBEATE SPRING is accessible every day. II. OTHER FEATURES. 1.

It is NATURE'S OWN REMEDY, Entering at once into the blood, exnelling all scrof ulous, syphilitic, and rheumatic aflections. Alone, it it a searching alterative, but when combined with Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, and other herbs, it forms Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, The most powerful blood purifier known to medical science for te cure of old ulcers, diseased joints, foul discharges from the ears and nostrils, abscesses, skin diseases, dropsy, kidney complaint, evil effects of secret practices, disordered liver and spleen. Its use strengthens the nervous stem, imoarts a fair com plexion, and builds up tebody withl HEALTHY, SOLID FLESH. As an antidote to syphilitic poison it is strongly recommended. Hundreds of cases of the worst type have been radically cured by it. Being purely veg etable its continued use will do no harm. The best time to take it is during the summer and fall; and instead of debility, headache, fever and ague, you will en'oy robust health. ,Sold by all druggists. Price, $'.oo. Office, 35 Murray Street, New York. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his reort for the y'ear 1875, speaks as follows: "There can he no d!oubt of the generatl aduteration ofi all malt liquors. in England and othe~r countries, where heavy penalties are imposed. and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish stuch frauds, by a system of inspection of ai! malt liqurs manufactured before exposed to sa!c, the practice is very common. How much more in this country, where there are no laws ont the sahiject, and no officer to carefully ana vze the produets of the brewery? Some years ago, Profess:or Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozen different breeries, and all were found :vluilrerated with noxious sub,stanes. It is said that the sale of dirugs to br1ewe rs is a p)rofitale part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. C'culus indicus, (fish-bc-rry.) nux vomical, (dog-buton, fronm which strychniinc is ob taied,) are some of :he de!ctable substances found in beer! Th-ese are potent poisons, and the brewer foumi using them should be dro.'ned at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament p)assed a law to pre Vent this nefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in druga, or chemnist, or any othmer person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer. d2aler in or rctailer of beer, knowing them to be such, or shall sell or dceliver to any person on account of,or in trust for, any suca brewer, (dealer or retailer, any liquor caled by the name of or sold for coloring, fromt whatever mnaterirl the same may be iade; or any materialI or preparation other than ungrountd b)rown malt, for the darken ing the color of worts heer, or any molasses, virioi, honey, qu:tssia, coccolus ind icus, grains of parudiae, Gutinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any artie!e or preparation to be used in worts eer for or as a substitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars. such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and the person so offending shall for feit five hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, andi yet the practice continues. Unless the American public are ready to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they~must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling somte narcotic poison or damging mne.iie-i.I view of the untpre cdentd growth of the barley crop; of the great increase of the number of mialsters and brewes; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city and almost every town on the con.tinenti, it is the dictate of sound wisdhomf that the attention of legis lators should be called :o the subject of the adteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties shouJd be inflicted as a preventive."

NOTICE. it.a Ai n a tIT i Ayer's Ague Cure, For Fev:: and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chi" Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which arise from malaricus, marsh, or mias. matic poisons. This is a compound remedy, prepared with scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such a remedy the necessities of the people in malari ous districts demand. Its great superiority over any other medicine yet discovered for the cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no quinine or riineral, and those who take it are free from danger of quinism or any injuribus effects, and are as healthy after using it as before. It has been extensively employed during the last thirty years in the treatment of these distressing dis orders, and so unvarying has been its success that it has gained the reputation of being infalli ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South, which, once broken up by it, do not return until the disease is again contracted. The great variety of disorders which arise from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu ralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain in the Bow.. els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of the Stomach, all of which become intermittent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than AYER'S AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike, and protects the system from future attacks. As a preventive, it is of immense service In those communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as it stays the development of the disease if taken on the first approach of the premonitory symp toms. Travellers and temporary residents are thus enab!ed to defy these disorders, and f:w will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy afford. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ into healthy activity, and produces many remarkable cures where other medicines fail.
