AGRICULTURE., Tux Potato rot is also the . work of a fnngus plant, which first makes its appear ande In the form of a white or frost-liko di4pearance on the underside of rome of the loaves, spreading thence over the plants till it destroys both vines and tubers. It *as first known in the years 1841 and 1842, both In Ireland and the United SWates, hnd caused very great loss to planters in this e->untry and created a famine abroad. It I usually noticed between the first and middle of August, and always In damp or rainy wqather. The disease attacking the leaves first, the crop may be saved by har vesting just as soon as the frosty appear ance of the leaves is seen. The potatoes should be put in a cool, dry place to pre. vent the further growth of fungi. Plant lug early varieties which ripeu in July is a pretty sure preventive, as the disease is confined in its attack chiefly to growing vines. It Is well, however, to burn or oth. erwise destroy all affected vines and tubers, to prevent the spread of the fungus. At. temptshave been made to produce potatoes which shall be proof against the disease, but thus lai with indifferent success, for though certain varieties may for a while appear to be disease proof, yet they suc cumb after a fewyews' growth In localities where the rot exists. The English farmers think they have learned to avod the rot, by planting pure, clean seed in new land, and by manuring an the autumn and add ing potash salts in spring. But such pro cautions are not sure preventives in this country. SwiNE RAISING. -Pure air' helps to make pure blood, which, in the course of nature, builds up healthful bodies. Out-of-doors pigs woula not show so well at the fairs, and would yrobably be passed over by judges and people who have been taught to admire only the fat and helpless things which get the prizes. Such pigs are well adapted to fill lard kegs, whereas the stan dard of perfection should bhe a pig which will make the most hiam with the least waste of fat, the longest and (ieepes, sides, with the most leIan meat; it should have bone enongh to allow it to stand up and help itsel to food. and carry with it the evid nee of health and natuzal deve'o)ment in all its parts. Pigs which run in a range or pastuie have good appetites-the tresh air and exercise give them this-hence they will eat a great variety of food, and much coarser than when conflued in peas. Noth ing need go to waste on the farm for lack of a market. Tacy will consume all the refuse fruit, roots, )iipkins, and all kinds of vegeliibles, which will make them grow. By extending the root patch, and planting fodder corn thinner, so that nubbins will form on it, and by putting in a sweet va riety, the number of pigs may be increased in proportion. A few bushels of corn at the end of the season will finish off the-pig. The pig pasture will be renidy the next year for any crop, and ten times the ad vantage accrue to the farm than if the pigs are confined in close pens, for, as pigs are usually managed oil the farm, but little manure is ever made froin them. Tu ergot of rye or spurred rye, so call ed because of its resemblance to the spur of a cock, is used in medicine, but is an active poison If taken in large doses, and in some countries has caused great loss among cattle that have caten it. Ergot also arows upon grasses as well as upon rye, and abortion often follows its develop ment in pastures and mowing fields. It Is however, confined to the heads of plants, and pastures which are closely fed can not produce the ergot graine, which are noth in lg else than seeds changeo by the pros ~.~~mfte fungus plant. It is most abuu. run e~i~ moit clunate of Europe than in America. It iti presenice is sspeted In a pasttme, miowing the grass j'ist before it seeds will prevent the formation of the ergot. and thus prevent all danger to cattle feeding upon it. The early cutting of hay and rowen would also p~reverit its formation in meadows. GEtNTLE TatEATMENT.-With all animals. gentleness is a great and more effectual power than harshness. Th'is is eminently true of the lee. Industrious creatures have very little pat ieince with rud~e and noisy idlere, ~'hose chief vocation aceems to be to disturb d hinder those who aim at usefulness. As with human beings, some, bees are naturally cross, but even these can be cured by gentle hiandling, and the law of love operates with them as with all the creatures oi God. They shouki1( never be fought; and all qumck, active moevements irritate and alarm thenm. When~ swarming, they are generally filled with honey, and are, therefore, sluggish, and not apt to sting_____ Wnss good, rich fiarnming lands are worth fifty dollars per acre. andi cigars lye cents each, every timec a young man smokes one he dliss )lves into smioke and ashes the puice .)f nine square feet ot good land, upon which can grow, at, one crop, wheat enough to keep a man ini bread for a day, or corn suflIcient to feed a fattening hog for the same time. Now, young man, if you mutst smoke something put these facts in your pipes--smoke them and be wise. THEu early lamhs arc dropped duiring this mlonth, and if mild1( weather favors them they may be made very p~roditable for the early market. Should the weather be se ver the lambs must be kept from being chilled through: this may be done by wrap) ping them in blankets and admistering a little hot ginger tea. The ewes should have the warmest pens in the. stable, and may nleedi to be nursed with warm gruel for a few days. MANY who have no green house, and cannot afford the room in the dIweihing for them, would gladly keep certain Lender or half-hardy plants through the winter. For such a purpose a cellar answers admurably. Florists have construicted ceiliars expressly for keeping plants through the winter. 1t is not expected, nor la it (desirable, that plants should grow. They are nurely to be kept--put to sleep as it were.

To Bon, ONiONs.-There Is a great deal of prejudice against this the most whole some of all vegetables. Take two quarts of onions, peel them carefully; wash and put in two quarts of cold water; and when it has boiled up twice; change the water, and replace with the same quantity of boiling water; add two tablespoonfuls of salt, and boil again until the onions arv tender; the length of time onions require to cook depends upon the condition of the onion; if in Bummer when fresh they take from one half to three fourths of an hour; -in *winter, from one to one and a half hours; when boiling is finished, put in a colander, and allo v to drain thoroughly; for the sauce take a tablespoonful of flour, a tablospoonlul of butter, and mix them thoroughly, beating them to a cream; a saltspoon of salt, half of white pepper, a pint of milk, and one half jint of water; boil the milk and water, pour it over the butter and ficur, and then cook the sauce on a slow fire; nut the onions into the sauce, and beat thoroughly. WiHooPINo CouG H.-Medioal opinion seems to be generally unanimous as re gards the eflicacy of the carbollo acid treatment in whooping cough. Dr. R.

The Norristown (Pa.) Heral in a re cent issue referred among others, to the following cases of special interest. They are their own commentary. Mr. Samuel 0. Nyce, resides at 808 Marshall street, a and holds the responsible position of journal cleric in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr. Nyce and family were. in the country recently, his boy,aged f three years, fell and broke his leg. He vecovered, but a very troubesome stiffness set In and be could scarcely use the leg. The Injured limb was rubbed several times with St. Jacobs Oil,and the stiffness was so much reduced that the boy was able to use his leg freely. Dr. Knipe said it was the use of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiff ness. Mr. Nyce himself used the Great U German Remedy tor toothache with good c effect, and also for a sprain and pains of r rheumatic nature, and always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks n the Ol is a splendid thing, and she always , keeps it on hand. e "I seB," said Mrs. Brown, "that in this ti boat race the beudamores took water first, Poor fellowal How thirsty they must have been; but what do they put It in the paper for?"

CO N S U MPTION ()AS IT B E CURED. Da. J. H1. SonENcK Philadelphia: DEAR In-Some years ago I was taken with Inflammation of the lungs, and although treated by twoof the best physicians of this city, I gradually grow worse, until I had hemorrhages quite frequently. They usually occurred in the morning, and averaged fully a pint of clear bood at a time. I had night sweats every night, and my weight, which was 169 lbs. when I was lirst taken sick, gradually ran down to 128 lbs. My nights were almost sleepless, owing to severe pain in my breast, baotc and shoulders, and a continual cough. I was so sick that my physicians gave up all hope of my recovery. I then began to try medicines that I saw advertised, but without any lasting beneft. At last, by the advice of a friend, I con cluded to use your remedies. I began by using all your medicines as you di rect, and in a very short time all my worst synhp torns left me and I began to gain in every way. As my appetite came back I gained flesh very fast. Fromn June to November the increase was over fity pounds. My present weight is 1T4 pounds, and has been about that since my recovery several years since. I was toid by my physicians that I had Consurnpiio gauq - J. C. ELTOTT", Oct. g9th, 1831. Binghampton, N. Y. P. 0. Box 1918, care Barrett's Music Store. F'rom MRt.

SousxcK: Dear Sir-Iu February last I waq sulring terribly with shortness of breath and a dry, hack ing cough, which were caused by a heavy cold. I could not raise anything from mny lungs, and it sometimes seemned as if I would choke to (doath. Tis continued for several weoks, when I con sulted a doctor here, who told me that my right iung was dead and I had no use of it. Soon after this, I consulted two other physicians, who both said that I could net live, that my right lung was gone and my left iba~lly ulcerated. My friends, of course, had no hope for my recovery after this, and I had none myself. About the lirst of May I was called on by a friendl, who advIsed me to give your mnedicines a trial. I concluded io do, so, but [ did not believe that there was any tihing that wouldi do me any good. At this time I had cold night. sweats, and many nights I was unale to lay down. My feet and iegs were badly swollen. Soon after I began io take your remedies, I raised large quantitles of yellow matter, which gave me great relief. I[took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup, according to the directions on thme wrappers, and by the itrst of July 1 began 1o gain in strengthm, andl my comtgh was much bet, ter. About tihe first of August my cough was en tirely gone, mny appetite was pretty good, and by the tast of September I was well enough to go to work on the farm. I have been well ever since, andi to-dlay enjoy better health than I ever did. Feeling that it is to you that I owe my life, I offer you the muost sincere thanks of a gratefui man. I advise ali who are aillicted with ug disease to use your medlielno, and I will gladly answer alt letters front those who are aflluted, or if they will call on me I will give tihem good proof of whatd I have written, as very many peopie residing here knowv of my ease.

II. 80OHCNGE, Philadelphia, Pa,: Dear Sir-i write this to let you know that my little daughuter Ilenrietta, whom you saw on your visit to this oily in the fall of 1879, has entirely re coveredl her health by the use of your Medicines. I wish also at the same time to give you some facts In regard to her case which I did( not have time to do when you were here. My daughter was :onlsiidered a healthy child until the month of No vemnber, l8T8, when she was attacked with Itemnit teni Fever. with which she was sick for a long l ime. As site was recovering front it she took a heavy coid, which settled ont her lunge, producing a constant hacking cough. As severai of her muotheir's relatIves had didd of Consiuption, we weurc much iroubled in regard to her case, espec uailiy as our physician told tie that her lungs were weak, anmd itter her cough had contiued some timue, that they were seriously affected, i~e pe uiribed any things for her, principatlly cod lIver aa I andl stianta; but she kept getting worse and worse, umntilat last he told uis that there was no hope for her recovery ; and, to satisfy us that he hatt doine ali that it was possible for him to dho, "ailed in twoather doctors. They, after consulta tion, agreed that she must (lie and that all we could do was to make her oomfortable while she lived. This was in the month of September, 1879. .\lihougha we were assured by our physician that auir lttle dlaughiter could not get well, yet we were idways iooking over the papsers to try to find some. tiling that wouid at least preserve her life for a limte. One evening I reati in the Albany Jfening ''e the statements of many who had bencureE ,f sursonms isease~s ny your Miedictries ad reeling Sha'. they at ieast, could do her no h'arma, I con cludedi to give them a trial. I therefore went to inc drug store of Mr. Miller, a gentleman with whom I was well acquainted, and nekedl him what ;te knew or thatught. of your Medicines. Ie said: "I have hoard thecm highly spoken of by my cue tomners, anal becleve them to be goodi." I then b-tmght a bottie of the P'ulmuonic Syrup> as well as ts 'me of the Mandlrake Pialls and Sea 'eedl Tonic, .md my daughter commenced to use theum accord ing to the printeul directions. We ali soon saw that they were doing her good. Whienm she had taken them abiout two weeks we noticed by the paper Inoat yon were to visit Albany professionally, and, Saikinig advantage of this opplortunity, we had you sce her Alihougha you diid not see her at the worst, you o, couirrie retmemnber her apparentiy hopeless conadition. WVe can only say tlhat from the MedicInes you gave her she soon raplidly inm 1rovedi anal becaime healthy and strong. We give you this certilicate or letter that, others may know of yonr grat Mgattnna. I am .matlf4a t e. save tne life of my child, as she was pronouncledO beyond meodical a.

J. H. SouHEoK: Dear Sir-I am anxious that others should know of the great curative properties of your medicines. For three years I wa.s afilicted with a constant cough, accompanied by an expectoration of ropy phlegm. My cougn was so bitt tian i coni. sleep very little, (lay or night. I lost myv appetite. and was very much reduced in flelsh, and was le weak that It was 31s much as I coull do to walk U square. I used all the remedies that were r~com. mended by friends, anl many that I saw adver tised in the papers, but received no reie f roiu their use. At last, I was taken with a severe hem orrhage, which reduced te still more. Soon after this ily wife procured one of your books and reading the description of my disease in it, 411o in. slated on my giving your rermedoig a tril. My daughter, who resides in Albany, N. Y., also wrote about this time that sihe had heard of several cures there by their use; and so I was Induced to use them. I beinan by using all three of your medicines at one time, as you direct; that is, the Mandraku Pills, Seaweed Tonic andi Pulinonle Syrup. I could see that they were doing inc good froin tile first ray appetite improved, I beeame gradually stronger, and my cough was so mit better that I rest quite comfortably all night, a thing I have not done before in imany iontlitis. Now, after using the medicine for about six weeks, I ant well. consktler your reineiies as magical li tIheir effemt4, al I write you this letter that others may know of their great curative qualitie.s in diseases of the throat anti lungs.

I believe that my daughter had Consumption of the Lungs, and that the use of your inedicinos saved her life. I nursed her through her sickness, and she was so bal for a long tine that we had no hope of her recovery. I can only a I tiat the at count that she gives in the following letter Is ta ue in every particular. MRS. LYDIA A. TAFT. DR. SCHEINOK: Dear Sir-I will give you as nrar as I nn an aoeount of ily sliv'nes, as ast,, iny recovery by the use of your great iedlicines. Tile irst symptom of disease that attracted particular at tention was a severe pain in my lungs. This came on while I was attendri~g Sc hool anti on lly going home one evening my mother twight it best to consult a doctor i regarI to it. After ain exam-. ination of my lungs, fie spoke quite hsciuragingly of my case, saying that liy Iings were seriously affected, and that tle chances for mny recovery were not very good. I was soon afo-r attackedl with hemorrhage, raising a half a cup of blood at a time. After this I iad a choking cough whih kept me awake almost tihe whole niglt, rind also severe night sweat.s which weakened ine so that I was at last confined to my hed.

I began by using thie Pul noncl Syrup alone, but was afterwaris told that I must take the Mandrake I'ifls and Seaweed Tonic at the sane time. This I did; that is, I took alt at one time as you direct, only that from my great weakness I was obliged to begin with smaller doses than you prescribe. I graduially gained lin strengh,i however, so that I was able to take full doses. My strengthr inicreasedl as the mredicines began to act ont imy system, and soon iiy worst irmptoms were gone, my aplpetlte increased, and I is gave me strenrgtht to get, tip arid take exercise.
