Agricultural.
From the American Farmer.
WORK FOR NOVEMBER.
As before our next number will have
been issued, November,with all its pressing
demands upon the husbandman, will have
ushered in, we take time by the forelock,
to remind our readers that it is time to be
preparing for the toils of that month, as
they are no less numerous than important,
both as regards the present and the future.
In all the operations of the farm, like those
in every other department of human cal
lings, the interest and well being of individ
uals, as well as those of the community at
large, are best subserved by timely atten
tion to thodisehaige of those duties which
from time to time are devolved upon us by
our pursuits. Indeed, so far as the busi
ness of agriculture is concerned, prompt
ness in action is often indispensable to suc
cess, as the delay even of a few days may
be productive of serious and irremediable
injury, at least for the season. Reminding
you, thus briefly of the necessity of doing
things at the right time, permits us to point
out such objects as should command imme
diate attention. We will begin with those
ON THE FARM.
Wheat. —Presuming that you have been
sufficiently careful of your interests to pre
pare theground you destine for your wheat
crop, and assuming it as a fact that it is
ready for sowing, we will remark to you
that tiie sooner the better you commit your
seed to the earth, as by timely sowing you
may enabb it to escape the rust next sum
mer. Perhaps you may say, that by too
early sowing you may subject it to the ra
vages of the Hessian tiv but with a full
knowledge of the evil, our judgement tells
us, that we would rather run the risk of that
destructive enemy, than to encounter the
danger of having our harvest destroyed by
the former, by throwing the ripening of the
grain upon that period of the summer so pro
lific in the generation of rust, owing to the
then existence of those physical causes be
lieved by so many to be the promoters of that
disease. If by sowing two weeks earlier
than usual, we can the assault of a
foe so disastrous in its consequences, pru
dence would certainly dictate that we
should at least make an experiment with a
part of our crop. With this invocation to
early sowing, let us sav a few words with
the respect to the
Preparing the Seed. —Before sowing the
seed wheat should be, first, well washed in
clean water, the grain to be thoroughly stir
red with a birchen or other broom until the
water ceases to be discolored ; it should
then be put in a soak of le'y made of ashes,
stale urine, salt or lime water. While in
either of these soaks, the grain should be
stirred, so as to give the faulty grains a
chance of floating ; all grains wicli float
should be skimmed off and given to the hogs
as they are defective and would not germi
nate. After the seed shall have remained
iu the soak for 12 or 24 hours, it must be
taken out as wanted , dried in slaked lime,
plaster or ashes, and sown as soon thereaf
ter as possible. There is no danger of the
germinating powers of the grain being im
paired while it remains in the soak, but the
farmer must be careful to take no more out
each day than he can sow, as we have
known its vegetating powers materially in
jured by remaining over a day or two un
sowed.
The strength of the soak should be tested
by an egg ; whenever it floats an egg, it is
strong enough. By washing, soaking and
drying, as we recommend, you will be sure
to save your next year’s crop from the smut
while the seed itself will imbibe enough of
the stimulating principle from the saline
mixture in which it may be soaked, to give
it a prompt and vigorous growth and ex
pansion of the root at the outset.
The seed should be ploughed in three or
four inches deep ; after which, we would
recommend that one bushel of plaster, five
of lime, or ten of spent ashes, to the acre,
be sown thereon, which should be harrowed
in. Then let the field have water drains
run through it, so as to lay the wheat up in
dry b:; Js of proper widths, and finish by rol
ling across the drains so as to give them a
facing to resist the washing of the rains.
Quantity of seed per acre. —ln considera
tion of the great loss by winter killing and
spring spewing, we think it unsafe to sow
less than two bimhels to the acre, as any
land calculated to grow a crop of wheat is
competent to sustain the plants which will
spring from that quantity of seed. Indeed,
we have long believed that one cause of the
smallness of our yields, arose from the
want of a sufficiency of seed to cover the
ground to the exclusion of weeds, which we
all know are sure to spring up and cover
every spare inch of soil.
Fall Ploughing —ls you have any stiff
clayey grounds that you intend for spring
crops, be sure to give them a good deep
ploughing this fall, as soon as you get
through with your other more pressing
work. Exposure to the frosts of winter,
and its alternate thawing and freezing, tend
to mellow and change its texture, and put it
in good condition for spring culture; to des
troy worms and insects ; and, besides these
benefits, you will have so much work done
when spring opens, and be, of course, pre
pared to devote more time to those other de
mands which the busy period of the year
never fails to bring with it.
Hogs. —Put your hogs that you intend to
fatten and kill into the pen early, as they
take on fat much better when the weather
is warm that when it is cold. If you have
plenty of mast, yog may permit your hogs
to remain out until it is consumed. Before
confining them in pens, have as much
mould hauled from the woods as will cover
the bottom of your pens lOor twelve inches
deep, as vour hogs before killing will
convert every pound ofin into strong ma
nure, ami thus increase your ability to im
prove your land next spring, and, of course
to increase your crop. Attention to mat
ters of this kind is indispensable to the char
acter of a good farmer, and we indulge the
hope that you will improve our suggestion.
If you have pumpkins to begin yourfeed
ing with, let us advise you to have them
cooked. By so doing, you will vastly in
crease tlieir nutritive properties, and save
your hogs from being scoured. If you are
prepared for it, add a little meal and salt
to each feed of pumpkins, as these will not
only add to the acceptableness of the mess,
but to the fattening quality. Let your
hogs be fed regularly at stated hours, give
them clean water thrice a day, and salt
them twice a week, the salt to be mixed in
meal. Provide each pen with a rubbing
post, and see that your hogs be well bedded
with leaves, twice a week, and that their old
beds be each time thoroughly cleaned out.
Dry, warm sleeping births, and clean litter
are essentials in the fattening process—es.
sentials, unfortunately, toolittle attended to.
Twenty hogs could convert fifty loads of
leaves into good manure. Besides what
we have stated, give your hogs charcoal
twice a week.
Cattle, Stabling and. Sheds. —ls you are
not already provided with a sufficiency of
these to protect your stock from the wet,
have them forthwith put up ; there is noth
ing like keeping cattledry and warm: when
thus kept, they take less food, and the milch
cows will give more and better milk. By
the bye, the time has now come when, from
the shortness of the pastures, your milch
cows will require feeding, at least at night.
If you have pumpkins, deal them out gen
erously to them, by feeding them in your
cow yard now at night, they will increase
your manure, besides going into the winter
feeding in better condition.
Pumpkins. —These should be gathered
before the frost has time to injure them, put
away in a dry place, and led out as re
quired. In gathering and being carted in,
care must be taken not to bruise them, by
which means they will keep sound much
longer.
Fences. —Give all your fences a thor
ough examination, repair wherever they
may require it, and thus secure yourself
against the trespasses of cattle. Recollect
that weak fences provoke attacks.
CURE FOR THE BOTS.
The Editor of the Baton Rougue Gazette
states that he is informed by gentlemen who
knows that strong tea, made of common
garden sage is one of the most effectual rem
edies for bots in horses ever discovered.—
Also a branch of sage chopped into the feed
of horses once a week, will prevent the
bots altogether.
When your horse is taken ill of the bots,
give about a quart of strong sage tea, and
he will recover in a few minutes.
The above remedy is simple enough in
all conscience, and has this to recommend
it; if it should do no good, it can do no
harm—and being innocent in itself, is, we
should think, worthy of trial.
The law of public opinion is stronger
than the legal enactments of a nation.

Hamilton’s Elixir of Opium.
Anew and important discovery.
It has long been a great desideratum in Medi
cal Science, and has been the subject of a vast a
mount of Chemical experiment, to obtain the
Medical qualities of Opium to the exclusion of
its noxious principles and useless combinations.
No article in the whole range .of the whole Phar
macopeia is perhaps of greater importance to
mankind; and none which has engaged a great
er share of chemical attention. Every prepara
tion hitherto made from this drug, whether in the
form.of Extract, Morphia, Black Drop, Paragoric
or Laudanum, contains in close combination a
poison with the antidote, and hence we find the
administration of them attended with a numer
ous train of evils, among which are head-ache,
lassitude, tremors, nausea, vomiting, constipa
tion, derangement of the nervous system; and a
quality wonderfully predisposing the system to
its habitual use.
The Elixir of Opium has been’ used with as
tonishing success, and is confidently recommen
ded to the attention of every Physician and of
every lamily. It is warranted to be a pure, un
mixed and unadulterated preparation from the
bestoi Turkey Opium, and is of the same strength
as laudanum ; it is no more, nor less than the .
soothing opiate separated from the poisonous and j
stimulating property of the Drug.

Doctor Parris’s Celebrated Sooth
ing Syrup for Children Teething.
Mothers and nurses who are acquainted with
the existence J tin's valuable article, and fail to
make use of it during the anxious and pa inful sea
son of dentition are wanting in the discltargo of
their duty and with them rests the responsibility.
Symptoms of Dentition are indicated by slight
salivation, heat, and fulness of the gums, fretful
ness, and constant endeavors to thrust things in
to the mouth. The usual period at which den
tition begins is at the age of 4 or 5 months, but
is often as early as 3 months, and sometimes
much later.
Directions. —When children begin to be in
pain with their teeth shooting in their gums, put
a little oi the Syrup in a teaspoon, and with the
finger let the child’s gums be rubbed for 2 or 3
minutes, three times a day. It must not be put
to the breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off too soon. When the teeth are
just coming through their gums, mothers should
immediately apply the syrup; it will prevent
their children having a fever, and undergoing
that painful operation of lancing the gums, which
always makes the next tooth much harder to
come ‘hrough and sometimes causes death.

that can be procured : and by being taken when
that description of medicine is needed may save
a person from threatened disease, at a very small
expense, and without loss ot time ; a person can
take them without any interruption oi his cus
tomary employment.
The proprietor does not recommend these Pills
as a specific or cure for ail diseases, but he par
ticularly recommends them to be the safest and
best medicine that, can be taken in the preveu

TESTIMONIALS.
Baltimore, Sept. Ist, 1841.
I have used Dr. Spencer’s Pills in my practice
for the last six months, in several cases of Dy s
pepsia, Sick Ilead-ache, Bilious Fever, and other
diseases, produced by art inactive state of the
Liver, and 1 take pleasure in giving my testimony
of their good effects in all these cases, and 1 con
sider them a safe and mild aperient, and the best
article ox ttie kind I have ever used.

Dr. Spencer,—Dear Sir : You will please send
me another supply of Pills soon as possible, for I
am entirely out. Your Pills are taking the lead
of every thing else in this section of the coun
try. I know it is a general fault with those who
sell patent medicines to say too much in their fa
vor, but in regard to your Pills, I think they de
serve far more praise than you seem inclined to
give them. I know of several in this vicinity
who have been cured ot different diseases, such
as Dyspepsia, Sick Head-ache, Costiveness, and
derangement of the biliary organs by the use of
your Pills. Don’t fail to send me a supply forth
with. Yours, very respectfully,
P. C. DWIGHT.
