Plants growing in tin open ground and fully exposed Co the sun, are frequently ruined by the very means taken to save them?by watering In hot, dry weather. Generally, merely the surface of the ground is wet, and the moisture soon >v^*ftales, leaving the soil dry and hard ., ?almost Imprevioua to air as well as to the dews. But this is not the only, nor the greatest evil which results from tho ordinary slight waterings which plant? get. The temporary, superficial moisture causes the roots to Beek the surface, where in the intervals between the waterings, the bent and drought destroy them, and the plants become stunted or die outright. The remedy lies in a more thorough irri gation and in a different mods of applying the water. In the ease of young trees and large herbaceous plants, the best way is to carefully scrape away the soil around them to the depth of an inch or two, forming a shallow basin into which sufficient water should bo poured to mois ten well the ground 'as deeply and as widely as the roots extend. When the water has soaked in, the dry earth should be returned, which will prevent a speedy evaporation. Among small plants, which can not be treated in this way, make holes With an Iron rod or a sharpened stake several inches in depth and fill them with water which will thus reach the deepest roots. Rural Carolinian for June. ' Precautions Agalnot Drought. As drought is one of the greatest ob sticles with which the Southern farmer has to contend, too much thought can hardly be given to the subject, with a view, to counteracting its disastrous effects. We cannot, by any means now known, prevent the dry and heated terms to which our climate is subject and we again call the attention of our readers to the importance of securing, so far as pos sible, such conditonsof the soil as will in the highest possible degree fit it for the absorption and retention of moisture. Careful experiments should be made with a viewto determine what are the best means to enable our crops to resist1 long continued dryness. Suit, as a top! milreeaing on dry sandy land, b one of the in cans within our reach to mitigate the aridity. * J.VJ. Mechi, speaking of the value of salt as a top dressing for such land, cays: "About five oclock one fine j summer's morning, I noticed that where the the salt had been sown the previous day, every grain of salt had attracted to itself the dew, and formed on the surface of the ground a wet spot about the size of a sixpence, the ground being generally very dry.1' Rural Carolinian for June Planting Sweet Potatoes Slips, or "Draws." It is well to take advantage of a rainy day for planting if you can, but plant whether it rains oi not. We have plan ted: id the midst of severest drought with the lofs of very few plants. "Grout" the the plants bp plunging the roots into a batter composed of equal parts of fresh cow-dung, wood ashes and vegetable mould, mixed with water to the proper consistency to adhere to them. This will generally insure a perfect "stand," and hasten the growth of the vines. A good crop of potatoes will "help out" wonderfully, and there is no reasonable excuse for not having an abundance of them.?Rural Carolinian for June. A small boy arose at a Sunday school concert and began quite glibly:?"A cer tain man wpnt down from Jerusalem, and fell?and fell?" there his memory began to fail him, "and?and?fell by the road side, and the thorns sprang up and choked him." A would-be wit, strolling into a bank the other day, walked up to the couuter and addressed one of the spruce-looking clerks: "Are you the teller?" "Yes sir." Well* whet do you toll?" "I tell people who have no business here to elear out." He ctetaed. ^iSTlSrXJ^IL?

Walker's California Vin egar Bittora are a purely Vogotablo preparation, mado chiefly from tho na tive herbs found on tbo lowor ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, tho medicinal properties of which nro extracted tborofrom without tbo use of Alcohok Tho question is almost daily asked. "What* is the cause of tho unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit tens?" Our answer is, that thoy rcinovo j tho causo of dlsoasc, and tho patient ro covers bis health. They nro the gront blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of tho system. Never before in the history of tho world lias a medicino been compounded possessing tbo remarkable qualities of Vinkgab BiTTKns in healing tho sick of every discoso man is heir to. Thoy are a gentle Purgativo as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of tho Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dk. Walker's Vinkoab BiTTKas are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim va egar Bitters tbe most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained th? sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones aro not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful iutluence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. Thcro ja no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters; as they will speedily remove tho dark colored viscid matter with which tbo bowels aro loaded, at tho same timo stimulating tho secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify the hody against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar BiTTkitSv No epidemic can take hold of a system thus forc-nrmcd.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit , tent and Intermittent Fciors, Diseases of tho tllood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, the e; Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases arc caused by Vitiated Blood.

Discoioraiions of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or natnro, are litorally dug up and carried out of tho system in ashort time by tho uso of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in tho svstein of so many thousands, aro clloctually destroyed and removed. No svstom of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thclminitics will free tbo system frum worms liko these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at tho dawn of wo manhood, pr tho turn of life, those Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon porccptihle. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through tho skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you lind it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell yon when. Keep tho blood pure, and the health of tho syst em will follow. it. ii. McDonald & co.t DrnggiiU ana Gon. AgU., San Francisco, Califonia, and cor. of Washington nml Chartton 8t?., n. T.
