WONDERS OF CULTIVATION.
“ In this bleak clime* but few of the sus
taining fruit of the earth were indigenous,
or in a perfect state. Even the Indian
Com, so often considered a native here,
was with dilliculty acclimated. It was
brought from (lie South and by degrees was
coaxed to ripen in a northern latitude.—
The aborigines who cultivated it, taught
the pilgrims how to use it; they plucked
the earliest ears with the husk, und braided
several of them together, for the next year’s
crop.
The Pumpkin, brought from Spain, was
first planted in Rowley, Massachusetts, and
it was several years before it came to a
hard knotty shell, which marks the true
Yankee pumpkin, such arc selected for the
golden pies of their glorious thanksgiving
festival.
Our Wheat was with difficulty acclima
ted. That brought from the mother coun
try had grown from spring to full, but the
season was not long enough here to insure
a crop ; it was then sown in the full, grew
under snows in winter and catching the
warmest growth of spring, yielded its in
crease by mid summer.
Asparagus, which is now the delight of
ad- as an early vegetable, and for which
many millions of dollars are paid our gard
ners yearly, is oflate culture in this coun
try. At the time of the revolution, aspara
gus was only cultivated on'the sea-board;
this luxury had not then reached the fann
er of the interior.
The history of the Potatoe’ is singular.
Rees’ Encyclopedia states that the potatoe
was brought from Virginia, by Sir Walter
Raleigh, to Ireland. The writer should
have said South America, in the latter part
of the sixteenth century. Sir Walter had
no idea of its ever being used as an esculent
•at that time. It was pointed out to him as
a beautiful flower, and its hard bulby root
was -said, by the natives, to possess medical
q i ilities. He took it to Ireland where he
-rules presented to him by Queen Eli
■ - ‘ft, and planted it in his garden. The
nvers did not improve by cultivation, but
th“ root grew larger and softer.
The potatoe in its native bed was a
coarse ground nut. The thought struck
trie philosopher to try the potatoe as edible,
and boiling and roasting it, he found it, by
either process, excellent. He then gave
some plants to the peasantry, and they soon
became in a measure, a substitute for bread
when tiie harvest was scan y.
The potatoe was successfully cult:vat 1
in Ireland before it was th- ; : o of
in England. It grew into >w
degrees, and it was so lnt!; , ■■ i• • •

many years—io;:;

were cultivated in New Englano r* ■ v. .
held in contempt, and the master- w .I'.noo
often had to stipulate with his ap;.t- nice
that he should not be obliged to eat pot a
toes. An ag-d mechanic once :it formed
file that he hau raised nine bushels, having
at that time (1748) a dozen apprentices—
but did not venture to offer them a boiled
potatoe with the meat, but left them in the
cellar for the apprentices to get and roast as
they pleased ;.ho soon found that he would
not have enough for seed, and locked up
what was left. /I'ho next year he rai;;-
the enormous quantity of thirty-six bushels;
the neighbors started ! but his boys de
voured them through the foHow.ag winter.
About this time sorr of the gentry
brought this vegetable on their tables, and
the prejudice against it vanished. Thu?
by degrees a taste for this food was formed*
never to be extinguished. The cultivation
of the potatoe is now well understood—a
crop ameliorates instead of impoverishing
the soil, and tiie culture can be increased to
any extent. Thus by the curiosity of one
lover of nature, and his experiments, has a
humble weed been brought from the moun
tains of South America, and spread over
Europe and North America, until it is em
phatically called ‘the bread of nations.’
Still the country from which it was taken
has been too ignorant and superstitious to
attempt its cultivation, until within a few
years.
Rice was brought from India in 1796,
and was cultivated by way of experiment
in South Carolina. It succeeded well, and
was for many .years the staple article of
that State.
The Cotton plant was at first cultivated
as a flower in our gardens, and a beautiful
flower it is. This plant alone has made a
revolution in the finances of the world.—
Look at the growth and consumption of it
in the United States, and the immense man
ufacture of it in England, where it cannot
be grown, and you will find my assertion
true in its most extended sense.”

TOADS. ie bn
Never destroy the toad l He is a bene
factor to the farmer, and one of the clever
est and most efficient ‘ operatives’lie can
possibly employ. In the season of bugs
and fleas, a toad will do more towards the
preservation of a garden than a man, and
all he requires of your hands for his valu
able assistance, is the freedom ofyourgar
den walks and beds, the paltry shelter of a I
chip or turf. H<* “meddles with no- one’s :
business but his own—constantly avoiding
company, und intent only on extirpating
those voracious insects by whose ravages
the beauty of the garden is so frequently
laid low. Farmers who cannot convenient
ly keep hens for the protection of their gar
den vegetables, can raise no reasonable ob
jections against keeping a few toads. They
will not necessarily diminish the treasure
of the exchequer, nor intrude themselves
into scenes where they are not desired.

1 VEGETABLE PILLS]
A PUBLIC BLLSSSVG.
r|IHESE Fills have long been known And ap-
A predated, for their extraordinary and im
mediate powers of restoring perlect health to
persons suffering finder nearly every kind ofdis
ease to which the human fra lira is liable.
They are particularly recommended (o all
those persons who are afflicted with any kind of
a chronic or lingering complaint, as there is no
medicine before the public which has so natural
and happy effect upon the system iti correcting
the stomach am! fever, and to the formation of
healthy chyle and thereby purifying the blood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and
thousands who are using them, to be uotonlythe ’
most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the
most perfectly innocent, sale and efficient medi
cine ever olfered to the public. Those who
once make a trial of these Fills, never afterward
ioel willing to be without them, and call again
and again for more ; which so sufficient proof of
heir good qualities.
HEADACHE—SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered and are weary of
suffering with this distressing complaint, will
find Spencer’s Vegetable Pills a remedy at once
certain aud immediate in its effects. One single
dose of the Pills taken soon as the headache is
felt coining on, will cure it in one half hour en
tirely.
Asa remedy in simmer and bowel complaint},
they display their wonderful powers to admira
tion, and are far superior to any thing in use for
these complaints.
In Dyspepsia and’Luer Complaint, they stand.,
unrivalled. Many have been cured in a lew
weeks, alter having suffered under the dreadful
complaint for years. ,
In Habitual Cosliveness, they are decidedly
superior to any Vegetable Fill ever brought be
iore the public ; and one 25 cent box will.estab
lish titeir surprising virtues, and place them be
yond tho reach of doubt in tho estimation of eve
ry individual. ,
They are invaluable in nervotts and hypochon
driacal affections, loss of appetite, and all com
plaints to which female's alone are subject.
They are mild in their action, and convey al
most immediate conviction of their utility from
tho first dose. They tnay be taken by persons of
any age; and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous
and dahe&te are-etrengthened by their operation,
because they clear the system of bad humors,
quiet nervous irritability, and invariably produce
sound health.
Upwards of three h undred und seventy thousand
boxes of these inestimable Fills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States a
louc, and more than three times the same quan-
tity in other States.
As an anti-biiious medicine, no family should
be without them. A single trial of them is more
satisfactory than a thousand certificates.
TESTIMONIALS :
Columbia co., New- York, Sept. 12, 1841,
Dear Sir : —1 take much pleasure in hearing
testimony to the efficacy of your Pills in remove
ingßile from the Stomach ; and in all complaints
emanating from that source. I would also say
that their mildness .and certainty of action, ren
der them a safe and effective purgative for weak
ly individuals; and that they may be given at all ‘
limes without apprehension of any of those inju
rious consequences which so frequently attend
the application of Calomel, or Blue Pills.
On the whole, I consider your Vegetable Pills
a valuable discovery. Very respectfully,
. R. E. TOMPKINS, m.d.
Extract of a letter, from a highly iespectable.
Planter, in the State of Louisiana, and resi
dent in New-Orleans, under date,
September 28,1841.
There was several Bilious attacks on my plan
tation last summer, and I never knew 7 an instance
in which your Pills did not auswer every pur
pose, when given in the first commencement of
the disease ; and there has also been six or sev
en different cases of Chills and Fever, and your
Pills have cured every case without the slight
est disposition to a return of the Chills ; and I
: think your Pills the best remedy for the com
plaints they 7 are recommended to cure than any
1 medicine I have ever used. Every 7 family should
j always have these Pills on hand. I have no
j doubt that your Pills have saved me $l5O Doc
, tor bills this season.
My overseer had a daughter who had the
Dropsy, and she has experienced great relief
1 from the use of one box of the Pills. I also gave
’ one box to my brother-in-law, who had taken al
most every thing for Dyspepsia, and they have so
far relieved him that he thinks one box more
would cure him entirely ; ho says they are tho
best Pills to cleanse the blood that, he knows of.
Yours, very respectfully, T. 11. ANSON.
