When first the rose in robe of green Unfolds its crimson lining, Around his cottage porch is seen The honey-suckle climbing. When banks of bloom their sweetness yielt To bees that gather honey, He drives his team across the field,1 When the skies are soft and sunny. The blackbird clucks behind the plow, The quail pipes loud and clearly, Yon orchard hides behind its bows The home he loves so dearly. The gray old barn doors they unfold His ample store in measure, More rich in heaps of hoarded gold, A blessed, precious treasure. While yonder in the porch there stands His wife, the lovely charmer Th6 sweetest rose on all his lands The Independent Farmer. To him the spring comes dancingly, To him the summer blushes, The autumn smiles with yellow ray, With household angels round him. He trusts to God and loves his wife, Nor grief nor ill may harm her, He's nature's nobleman in life The Independent Farmer. SWEET POT ATOES. The following is the mode c cultivating this root by a plante of Georgia, said to be one of th most practical and successful i his State. It was given in his rc port for a premium at the Georgi State Fair : "Broke the land i March with a one-horse tur plough, six inches deep. Ran o the rows three feet apart on tb 1st of May with a turning shove Bedded with the same plougi running the other way, and mah in g the rows three feet apar Made small hills with a hoe b; drawing up soil lightly from th corners of the beds or squares b< tween the furrow*s. Opened th top of the hills with the hoe, pu crushed cotton seed in each hill a the rate of fifteen bushels to th acre and covered the seed wit dirt. (Think the cotton seed di but little good, if any.) Bedde out my sweet potatoes first day c April. Transplanted my slips fror the middle of May to the 1st c June. Ploughed twice with swecj two furrows to each row, and hoe once. Went over the patch i August with a narrow hoe an broke the vines loose from th ground, where they had take root between the, hills. Dug pate October 15. Yield, 254 bushel and 30 pounds." Size of root no stated. A correspondent of the Sout her Cultivator says that his experienc proves that rotted ashes are bel ter than any .other manure fo sweet potatoes. Hie opens th furrows deep with a scooter plos and puts in plenty of ashes, an bed out on the same, and a sure cro: is realized, better than cow per fling manure or cotton seed. Th rotted ashes also are good for cot ton and on almost any kind c vegetation. In this region the following i the mode of culture recommended The soil should be a deep rie] sand, well exposed to the sun and the ground deeply ploughed thoroughly harrowed and rotted Lay the ground out in square four feet apart; at the angle o every square dig a hole twelv4 inches deep, eighteen inchei diameter, into which put fou: inches of the comnpost recommendet below. Throw thereon fou: inches of the excavated earth, mis earth and compost well toge ther,af ter which draw the remainder o the earth over the mixture so as t< form a round hill about twelv< inches on the top, which should b< fat. In each of these hills plan1 two sets, cover them one or twc inches deep; as the plants ad. vance in growth the hills should be enlarged in size by drawing the - L weeds. Frequent enlargement of the bills will encourage the growth and increase the number of roots. When the hills are formed and the potatoes planted, each hill sshould receive a freo dusting of a; mixture composed of five bushels ol ashes and one of plaster. From t-e 1st to the 10th of May is the time of planting. The compost recommended is five double horse loads of well rotted dung and five loads of wood or other mould, or fifteen double horse loads of wood or other mould and 100 pounds Peruvian guano, well mixed to gether and applied as directed a'ove. COVERED BARN-YARD.-A Mary laud farmer has a sensible article on covered barn-yards, which con eludes in these words: There is a three-fold advantagre in these .covered yards. 1. It is impossiblo to keel) a yard in de cent order in wet weathar, espe Qially in early spring, or fit to be occupied by dairy cattle at least, when it is exposed to all the storms; and a roof is cheaper in the end than litter. 2. The cattle themselves will appreciate the benefit of the shelter, and pay for it in contented looks, as well as in the more substantial results of the nail. In this sort of a yard, with water always at hand, they are not disposed to be uneasy. It is the greatest cruelty and waste to keep cattle up in warm stalls and then turn them out in all sorts of weather to wade through mud or snow, or walk on treacherous ice for one hundred yards or more to fill themselves over-full of water once a day. 3. Manure kept un der cover from cold rains will de compose much faster than that exposed, and is in much better condition for handling, and is worth more w hen it is applied. Straw will remain a whole year in a wet yard, and yet seem as strong as when put in. Where room i~s -of value, the consolidation of the rmanure pile by the constant pres sure of the hoof is also an item. A yard under cover, where cattle are fed, can be traversed by man at any time without danger of of fense. CURING CUTTS.-Accidental cuts from knives, cutting tools ,scy thes, etc., are more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on the 'body. All that is requisite in gen eralistobringth eparts togetheras accurately as possible, and to bind them up-this is usually done by adhesive plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed. Nothing is so good for this purpose as paper pre viously washed over on one side with thick gum water, and then dried ; when used it is only to be w etted with the tongue. When the cut bleeds but little it is well to soak the part in warm water for a few minutes, or keep a wet cloth on it. This removes inflam mation and pain, and also a ten dency to fainting, which a cut gives some persons. If the bleed ing be too copious, dab the part with a rag wetted with creosote. SEARACHE CURED.-Make a de pression in the centre of a small piece of cotton batting, or cotton wool, and fill it with as much ground pepper as will rest on a five cent piece. Gather it into a ball, tie it up, and, after dipping the ball into sweet oil, insert it in the ear, covering the latter with cotton wool and use a bandage to keep it in its place. Almost in stant relief will be experienced, and the application is so gentle that an infant will not be injured by it, but experience relief as well as adults. We have seen this pub lisbed in an exchange but have not seen it tried. 1CURE FOR PoIsoN.-Take a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and as much ground mustard, stir them in a cup of warm water and drink quickly. This prepara tion will have hardly reached the stomach before it returns, bring Sing with it the 'cause of the trou ble. Lest any remnant of the poi'on remain, let the white of an egg or.a teacup of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, because those very comn mon articles nullify a larger num ber of virulent poisons than ahmost any medicine. Only well rotted manure should be used in the flower garden. If the soil is of a strong loamy na t, it will be benefited by an ap plication of sand mixed with the Iron Works, TRY HONE FIRST.

ARIHRIS IMPORTANT TO FARMERS, The following popular Fertilizers: Eutaw Fertilizer, Pamtc AiD P pae PaI~efto Acid Phosphat6, -~ 'n,.~i,l fn I~,.mr~ro~ ewiscelanteous. HOPE FOR ALL! Consumption is generally supposed to be an incurable disease. Why ? Because medical n,.!, who of all others should have been the last to encourage such an unphilosophical and dan gerous assumption, have insisted upon and pro pagated it with a persistency which seems aI most incredible in the light of sciencie ard of truth. We used the term -dangerous' advisedly, for what can be more depre zsing and injurious to the consumptive than brooding over the idea -founded solely upon the flat of his physician th:t his malady is mortal, and that the utmost that can be done for him is to render his exit fron this world as easy as possible. Such mel ancholy and hopeless reflection a- this belief en genders among consumptive patients, does as much, if not more, to hasten their departure for the land of shadows, as the tubercleb in their lungs. Away with such a hopeless theory. Happily the Gr.EAT 31ASTES OF 3EDJCINE have entered their protest against it and confuted by the most positive testimony the monstrous fallacy. Dangerous as pulmonary phthisis is, its terrible ravages may be stayed and the lungs restored to a sound condition even after suppu ration has taken place. Every experienced sur geon knows that post mortem examinations of aged persons who have died in the orditary course'of nature have repeatedly disclosed the traces of pulmonary ulcers entirely cicatrized. The argument, therefore, against the possibility of healing a pulmonary abscess because the im mediate seat of the disease cannot be reached, has not a leg tostand upon. Overtifty instances of the discovery of cicatrized ulcers in the lungs have been recorded by the medical faculty of Paris, and such eminent authorities as Reviuus, "alphighi. Du Huen and scores ofothers, French, English and German, might easily be cited to prove their certain curabiliti. To treat any malady rationally its character and morbid influence must be known. The dis% sectiug knife has disclosed all the internal char acteristics of consumption. We know that tu bercles in the lungs vary in size from granules smaller than a pin's head to that of a large bean. These develop into open ulcers technically known as vomlical which afterwards spread over a surface several inches in diameter. Their sacs are filled with a vellow, greenish, grayish matter generally very oifensive. The membrane itself is greatly inflamed, and the ends of the pulmona ry artery and vein connecting with the diseased parts are clogged with vitiated and purulent mucus. Death must ensue either from suffoca tion or hemorrhage if speedy relief is not obtain ed. It is obvious that something is required which will enable the sufferer to raise and eject the poison rankling in his lungs, and choking the air passages, and which will also allay the grievous irritation of the inflamed parts. No preparation known to materia medica accom plishesthis double object so effectually and speed ily as HOLLOWAY'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAM. That incomparable remedy loosens and liquifies the poisonous and fetid accumula tions in the lungs and bronchim, subdues with wonderful rapidity the inflammation of the dis eased parts, and prevents the possibility of hem ori hage. At the same time it tones and strength ens the mu.scles of the throat and enables them to throw off the vitiated matter without strain ing. The transcendent merit of HOLLOWAY'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAM is the thor oughnes. with which it does its work. Its im meuse superiority to the multitude of officinal and proprietary medicines, designed for a simi lar purpose, which have preceded it, lies in the fact that it is an A3SOLUTE ERADICANT of pul mouary and throat diseases, while they at the best were merely palliations. - It is not alone that the preparation dislodges the pulmonic virus, it possesses balsamic properties peculiarly adapted to soothe the lacerated lung, while by its tonic operations it greatly facilitates and has tens the healing process. As aprerentive HOL LOWAY'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAM 1s equally efficacious. Coughs, especially the dry hacking coughs which are so common, are terri bly fruitful sources of consumption. The suf ferer at first has a feeling of rawness in the throat, tightness across the chest, then danger ous inflammation sets in, which may give rise to hemorrhage or the formation of vomical, if it is not speedily checked and the cough loosened. HoLLowAY'S COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAX accomplishes this with a degree of promptitude and certainty which astonishes the patient. No type of throat, lung or bronchial disturbance can resist its curative influence. It overcomes the most obstinate forms of this class of disor ders, and breaks up at once the most violent paroxysms of coughing. All its ingredients are purely vegetable. Some of them are culle.l from sources entirely new to pharmacy, and all are possessed of properties of miarvelous remedial eficacy. 1 he unsolicited testimonials which its proprietors have been constantly receiving since its introduction to the public, from persons whc have exp;erienced Or witnessed its wonderfully beneicial effects, fully justify the belief that il must, ere long, become the STANDARD AMtERI CAN SPEcIFIC YOU ALL DISEASES OF THE RE SFIRATORY ORGANS.

SThis Sarsaparilla isacombinationof vegetable alteratives--Stinfgia,M4an drake,Yellow Dock--with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. SIts ingredients are so skilfully combined that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even -to children, it is still so effectual as to pu.rge out from- the systemn those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and te confidence which prominent physicians all over the country repose in it proves their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are con stantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly kriown, hey furnish convincing evidence of he superiority of this Sarsapa.rilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superiority to any other medicine known that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained. PREPARED BY Dr. 1.
