From the Wool Grower. Whittling Shingles. Scene. — Mr. John Plow handle's barn-yard. — John with a large shingle and a broad grin, whittling from him: Editor's shingle ta lcing the shape of a tomahawk. John. —You see I’ve not forgotten your last lesson, I always whittle from me. Editor. —l don’t see any such thing. I can not see any evidence of it in this yard, or about your barns. On the contrary, yon have been whittling towards you ever since foddering com menced. John. —Ilow so? Editor. —Will you please to tell me what kind of litter this is scattered so profusely over the whole yard, and making so much of the bulk of the dung heap thrown from your stable ? John. —Why it’s nothing but stalks that the cattle won’t eat. Editor.— lt’s no such thing; it is bright par ticles of California gold dust that you dug last summer, which you are now wasting so libe rally; and to excuse your laziness lay it to the cattle. Ah, John! John. —You don’t pretend to say those old stalks are good for anything except manure? Editor. —Yes I do. Now here is a dry bright stalk nearly or quite as long as yourself. All the cattle could make of it was, to pick off the husks and leaves. Let us cut into it. It must have some nutriment, surely. John. —Don’t believe a word about it.— There is no more nutriment in that stalk than iu the pith of an alder. I had rather have mv experience than all the book farming that has ever been got up to humbug farmers with. I’ve fed out my stalks in this way for twenty years, and have never seen my cattle eat more than they now do. And that satisfies me that there is nothing nutritious in them. Editor. — John, your ears are longer than any donkey’s in the Union. Now just to show you what a small light is the wisdom of 11 you know it all” farmers, we will cut a few of these stalks up into this box. Cut them smaller, John, not larger than your finger nail. If cut too long, the cattle cannot eat them; there, that will do. Now call up old Brindle, for she has been watching the operation. Her opinion will be worth something. Well, what says the cow ? John.— She has eaten most of the stalks. — but she would have eaten saw-dust if cut fine. Editor. —Thus you see that for twenty years vou have been scattering the dust, for what ever is wasted is money thrown away. It cost much labor to raise these stalks, and here you have thrown away at least two-thirds. John. —You surely do not expect that I can cut up fine, all the stalks that I raise ? Why I had twenty acres of corn, and the stalks were very heavy. What a job it would be to cut up twenty acres of stalks in a cutting box. Editor. —Upon a moderate calculation, you had at least two tons of stalks to the acre, which would give you forty tons. All this you have handled over to give your cattle two tons of leaves and husks; for the leaves and husks are about one-fourth of the quantity. A little more labor would have saved all your previous work, and given you a profit, where you now experience a loss. I tell you, John, every stalk lias gold dust in it. Hut is it such a job to cut up the stalks ? You have a good straw cutter of course ? John. —No sir! I’ve no such thing. I think my cattle can cut their own food. 1 have nev er yet been humbugged by any of your fancy machinery, as I call straw cutters. Editor. —Well, how do you dispose of your straw ? John. —Feed it to the cattle, and litter the stables with it. Straw is not worth much for food any way, and I make no account of it. Editor. —Do you have much straw ? John. —l generally have about fifty acres in wheat, oats and barley. Editor. —Doyoimaise many roots? John. —No, it’s too much trouble. They won’t pay. I tried them and carrots some, and turnips once, but it was so much work to weed the little varmints, that I give it up as a very puttering sort of a job to raise any kind of roots except potatoes, and they don’t pay since the rot broke out. I’d rather raise three acres of •corn, than one of roots; and believe the corn the most profitable. I can make more beef, pork, mutton or money, from my three acres of corn, than your book farmers can from all the roots they can grow in ten counties. Ugh ! set me at any thing but weeding carrots, or lUets, or turnips. Editor. — That is, you are willing to get a living any way but by good fanning. If you can make money by the wasteful course you adopt, perhaps the “ book farmers as you art pleased to cail those who bring system and or der into their practice, can get along much fas ter. Let ns figure a little. An acre of land that will produce two tons of hay, or fifty bush els of corn, will easily produce 000 bushels of roots, whether carrots, beets or turnips. How long do you fodder ? John.— About five months. Editor. —Well, that will be 150 days. Now half a bushel per day would make 75 bushels; threepecks per day, would make 112 bushels. Suppose we raise 600 bushels of roots, this would give nearly three pecks per day to six head of cattle; but say we feed them 100 bush els per head. If we fed cut stalks, half a bushel would tlo well; if cut straw he used, more roots should be given. In any event an acre of straw cut, with 100 bushels of roots, will winter an ox, or cow, or young stock, as well as two tons of hay: and an acre of stalks would do the same with the smaller food, or 75 bushels. You grow 50 acres of straw crops, and 20 acres of corn, making 70 acres. Now if you had grown 10 acres of roots, you could have wintered well at least 60 head of cattle; and as it is reckoned that a cow equals 10 sheep, yoiKCould have wintered from 500 to 600 head of sheep; no small item in these times of high prices for wool. And then look at what a nice pile of manure you would have had. John.— Tes, and what heaps of trouble I should have had. W here could I store my roots, so that I could get them in the winter. I should want an acre of cellar at least; and that would be a large item of expense. And then the idea of cutting so much food. Why I should want a steam engine to run night anil day. Editor. —Not too fast, good John. If you had cellars under your barns as you ought to have, you would have an abundance of room to store all the roots you would want till there comes a thaw, and then you could cart them in f‘om the pits in the field. But the cutting seems to distress you. A steam engine is a good idea, and if your business .would warrant it would be decidedly the thing But that you have not got. You have one of Wheeler’s horse powers, get one of his power stalk cut ters, or any body else’s as good; and two men and a horse will cut up at least three tons of food—perhaps more. At this rate it would not be a very hard job, or very expensive. And in what way could you employ labor so profi \ 1 ably ? John. —According to your calculation a man >vd tot have any meadow at all; for some time ago you made out that horses could be wintered well on straw and saw dust. Editor. —Not saw dust, John. Sail dust seems to trouble you much. I said, cut straw and mill feed, shorts and bran. I tbink that there is truly no need of meadows where you can have plenty of roots, and straw or stalks; and the labor you bestow upon your meadow in making hay, together with the use of the land, will nearly or quite pay for cutting your straw or stalks. John. —But you don’t mean to say you can winter sheep on cut straw and roots; and that you would advise it ? Editor. —Most decidedly I do. I think it’s the very best way that sheep can be wintered, especially it you add a little bran, or corn meal with the cut food. John. — \\ ell, if I could only get along with out the confounded roots, I don’t but there might be some object to get ready and make a trial next year. Can’t I use meal just as well and cheap ? Editor. —Suppose you figure on it a little.— How much would you consider as sufficient for a daily feed ? John. —About 4 quarts of meal with straw or stalks I should think would be sufficient. Editor. —so bushels of corn would give 400 feeds ot 4 quarts; so that it would take nearly three acres of corn to feed up as much straw or stalks as one acre of roots would do. The corn will sell for money; but the roots and straw will not. John. —How shall I go to work to raise roots well? I have never yet paid any attention to the subject. Perhaps I may try to do some thing at it this year. But there goes the din ner horn. Boys, give the cattle a good feed of stalks—gold dust, l suppose I must call them after this. Come, let us go to dinner, and then we will talk about roots. From the American Farmer. A Valuable Salve • —A visit to a friend in the neighborhood of this city during the past summer, made me acquainted with the virtues of the bark of the Elder tree, which I feel obligated to make public through the medium of your journal. The lady with whom I so journed, informed me of a boy whose foot had been cut, and was almost a putrid state when she examined it, none of the usual appliances being found of any service. She asked permission to apply a salve which she had, and leave being granted, in a very short period a com plete cure was effected. Shortly after, I was paying a visit to some friends iu Washington county of this State, where 1 heard of an old negro man who was suffering the most intense agony from a sore foot, which had be come so offensive that it was impossible for any one to remain in the room with him. lie was given up for death, as incurable, except by amputation. I mentioned this salve to the owner of the old man, and on my re turn forwarded a box of it, which was used upon the foot, and I was gratified to learn had effected a com plete cure—and a venerable friend in the same neigh borhood who had his hand cut whilst killing pork, having sent for the recipe, in order to make the salve, I applied to the lady who had supplied me, for a copy, which, as it is simple, and convenient to every farmer, I herewith hand you, hoping that every lady at the head of a family will prepare some of it, so as to be rea dy for use in her own family and neighborhood. Much suffering may be obviated by its use, I have no doubt; and as there is enough of misery in the world, it is our duty to use every means in our power for the allevia tion of it in our species. Feeling conscious that inncti good can be effected by the means here indicated, 1 hope every lady in whose homestead the American Farmer may have an abiding place, will make a trial of this salve, as opportunity may offer. S. B. S. Geoponics. A New Agricultural Wrinkle. —A funny story is told of an old friend of ours—one who, sick and tired of the care and bustle of a city life, has retired into the country and ‘gone to farming’ as the saying is. His land, albeit we'l situated and commanding sundry ro mantic prospects, is not so particularly fertile as some we have seen—requiring scientific culture and a libe ral use of guano of some sort to induce an abundant yield. So far by way of explanation. Once upon a time, as the story-books say, our friend being on a visit to the city, was attending an auction stile down town, and as it so happened they were selling damaged sausages at the time. There were some eight or ten barrels of them, and tliev were ‘just going at fifty cents per barrel,’ when the auctioneer, with all ap parent seriousness, remarked that they were worth more than that to manure land with. Here was an idea. ‘Sixty-two and a half,’ said our friend. ‘Just a going at sixty-two and a half cents —third and last call—g one !’ retorted the auctioneer —‘Cash takes them at sixty-two and a half per barrel.’ To have them shipped for his country seat was the immediate work of our friend, and as it was then plant ing time, and the sausages, to usea common expression, were ‘getting no better fast,’ to have them safe under ground and out of the way was his next movement.— He was about to plant a field of several acres of corn— tho soil of the piuey woods species—so, here whs just the spot for his new experiment in agriculture, this new wrinkle in the science of geoponics. One Mink’of sau sage being deemed amply sufficient, that amount was placed iu each hill, accompanied by the usual number of kernels of corn and an occasional pumpkin seed, and i all were nicely covered over iu the usual style. Now, j after premising that several days have occurred since the corn was planted, the sequel of the story shall be told iu a dialogue between our friend and one of his neighbors. Neighbor. —‘Well, friend, have you planted your corn ?’ Friend. —‘Yes, several days since.’ Neighbor. —‘ls it up yet V Friend.—-U p! yes; up and gone the most of it.’ Neighbor. —‘How is that?’ Friend. —‘Well, you see I bought a lot of damaged sausages in Orleans the other day, a smooth-tongued auctioneer saying they would make excellent manure if nothing else. I brought the lot over, commenced planting my corn at once as it was time, placing a sau sage in each hill, and—■’ Neighbor. —‘Well, and what?’ Friend. —‘And felt satisfied that I had made a good job of it. Some days afterwards I went out to the field to see how my corn was coming on, and a pretty piece of business I have made of trying agricultural ex periments.’ Neighbor.— 1 Why, what was the matter?’ Friend.-— Matter! the first thing I saw, before reach ing the field, was the darndest lot of dogs digging and scratching all over it. There were my dogs, and your dogs, and all the neighbors’ dogs, besides about three hundred strange dogs I never set eyes on before, and every one was hard at it mining after the buried sausages. Somehow or other the rascally whelps had scented out the business, and they have dug up every hill by this time. If I could set every dog of them on that auctioneer, I’d be satisfied.’ Amusing’ history of the Pig in Cincinnati, The subjoined essay on the Pig in Cincin nati Irom the (jlazctte of that city presents so many various uses which that valuable animal renders to the community, that it must be ad mitted the I'ig is fairly entitled to live without labor. True his usefulness begins only after he ceases to live—and then he affords the means of living to others —not pigs, but men. Nothing in his life becomes him like the leav ing of it. The pig in his ways’ and habits is not an amiable animal ; he cares nothing for his personal appearance, but rather be dirty than not; he is a great gormandizer, living only to eat, and fully merits The fate which destines him to be converted irho pork, bacon and sausages that he too may eaten. He is said by some philosophers to possess a great deal of sympathy, and that the extraordinary hub-bub which he raises at the distressful squeal of a brother pig is a proof of it. But his strongest emotions are exhibited at the trough, especially if the supply threatens tp be small. The pig is then in great excitement and fights his brethren right and left as though all were intruders except himself. He is a thorough corn monopolist. In fact the most zealous defenders ofthfe pig, as to his charac ter and deportment, must admit that he is sel fish in the extreme, gross in his manner and conversation, swinish, and unclean in his hah its, and in his tastes a mere hog But how useful this animal becomes when he has transmuted from pig to pork ! The pig vindicates himself from all the blemishes of his life by the great result of his death, and in this particular he is superior to some men, who having lived useless lives, confer no benefit by their death except the negative one of ridding society of a nuisance. But the pig confers positive benefits, which, if he could himself ap preciate, we might almost believe that a gener ous minded pig would yield himself cheerfully and of his own accord into the butcher’s hands as soon as he had attained a sufficient degree of pinguitude. But let us see how he fares in Cincinnati, where the phrase “going the whole hog” ought to have originated il it did not: Tiie Pig in Cincinnati. -What croco diles were in Egypt, what cows are in Ben gal, or storks in Holland, are pigs in Cincinnati, with this trifling difference, their sacredness of character lasts but as long as their mortal coil ; and this is abbreviated without ceremo ny, and from the most worldly motives. In life the pig is free, is honored ; he ranges the street ; he reposes in thoroughfares ; he walks between your horse’s legs, ot your own ; he is everywhere respected; bullet the thread of his existence be severed, and, shade of Ma homet ! what a change ! T hey think, in Cin dinnati, of nothing but making the most of him. How many of this kind perish annually, to ce ment the vast prosperity of the city, cannot be told. About fifteen years ago, when it contained only one-fifth of its existing population, a few bold speculators began the trade. Selecting the hams and sides of the animal, they made pickled pork ; and of the rest they took small account. Soon, however, the idea occurred to one more acute than his fellows, that the heads and the feet, nay, even the spine and the vertebra, might be turned to account. Trot ters and cheeks had their partizans, and these parts looked up in the market. About this time the makers of sausages caught the inspi ration ; they found those luxuries saleable ; and so many pigs were to be slaughtered, that the butchers were willing tc do it for nothing ; that is to say for the perquisite of the entrails and offal alone. The next step was due to the genius of France. A Frenchman established a brush manufactory and created a market for the bris tles ; but his ingenuity was outdone by one of his countrymen, who soon after arrived. This man was determined, it seems, to share the spoil ; and, thinking nothing else left, collect ed the fine hair or wool, washed, dried, and curled it, and stuffed mattrasses with it. But he was mistaken in thinking nothing else left. As but little was done with the lard, they in vented machines and squeezed oil out of it; the refuse they threw away. Mistaken men again! This refuse was the substance of stearine candles, and made a fortune to the discoverer of that secret, Lastly came one who could press chemistry into the service of mammon. He saw the blood of countless swine flow thro’ the gutters of the city ; it was all that was of them, but it went to the heart to see it thrown away. He pondered long ; and then, codec ing the stream into reservoirs, made prussiate of potash from it by the ton. The pig was used up.— Baltimore Ameri can. MlisAysiiiu The Mechanic’s Pleasures. Ours is not the country where one may sneer at the “mechanic.’’ Demagogues know this; and the same agitators who would spurn the “unwashed artificer,” if met in some old despotic realm, find it to ho their true policy to flatter and cajole him here. This is no part of my business. I respect honest labor, though it be in the black man who saws mv wood; and, so f..r as I can learn, my ancestors have oeen working men so long that “the memory of man t unneth not to the contrary.” Though the motto of William of Wickham is no longer good English, it is good sense still—man ners maketli man. \\ herever the demeanor and life of a man are good, let me get as near to Lim as he will allow, that I may take his hand, though it be as black and hardened as his anvil. I am ready to maintain that the American mechan ic has no reason to envy any man on .garth. “Happy, happy men!” as an old poet says, “if they could ap preciate their own felicity !” Has the mechanic no Pleasure ? Let us see: in order to see better, let me use some illustrations. There is a shop near my house; and I never yet saw the shop in which there was not something to be learned. In this one there is evidence enough that working men tnay have cheap and abundant pleasure. Without go ing so far as to state, what I believe firmly, that to the industrious man labor is pleasure, I beg leave to intro duce Arthur Kip. This young man is a plain cooper, and lives on the extremity of a street which I pass daily, lie is in his shop as early as his earliest neighbor, yet I sometimes see him busy a good half hour before he is in his shop. What is Arthur about in the grey of the morning? I will tell you. He has been setting out rows of elms around the whole border of his lot. Ru you must know that he is content to live in a very un comfortable house, in order to forward his business and prepare his ground so as to “make a fair start,” as he calls it. He has told me that he was induced to do this by a maxim of an ancient king:—‘‘Prepare thy work without , and make it fit for thyself in the field, and afterwards build thy housed ’ It does one good to see Arthur among his trees; he sings cheerily over his spade and hatchet, long before the sun is up.— “These saplings,” says lie, “will bo noble branching trees over the heads of my children; and if little Tom should be a rich man thirty years hence, he will have a grove which all the money of the aristocrats in Eng land could not enuse to spring up.” In this he agreed well with the land of Dumbiedikes’ who is known to have said on his death-bed to his son and heir: “Jock, when ye hae naething else to do, ye may be aye stick ing in a tree; it will be growing, Jock , when ye're sleeping .” Arthur has a garden also. Ills rule is, first for use, next for show. So he has most ,of his ground in sub stantial vegetables for the table; but a very goodly portion, I assure you, in choice flowers .Why should he not ? God has given the poor man these gems of the earth with a bounteous profusion; and Ellen Kip and little Tom will love Arthur and one another all the bet Ur for dwelling among the lustre and fragrance of tulips and violets. In these bright spring evenings, I take a walk about the time that this little household comes together after work. No tavern has yet become Ellen’s rival; her husband spends not only his nights, but his evenings, at home. Or, if he goes abroad, it is the old-fashioned way : I mean he takes his wife ami his boy along. At this hour I am always sure of witnessing another of the mechanic’s pleasures. Arthur and Ellen are of a place where young folks arc taught to sing: they have al ready begun to bring up little Tom in the same way. They carry a tune in several parts; for Arthur is no mean performer on the violin, and Ellen sings a sopra no part to her husband’s base. The neighbors are be ginning to find their way out since the spring weather has unclosed doors and windows, and there are some signs of a little musical association. Some of the best musical talent in America is among our mechanics; and it is said that they are slow to discover the exquisite satisfaction which they might derive from this innocent recreation. It soothes the troubled mind; it breaks the thread of vexing thoughts; it prepaies the affection for every good impression; it affords a healthful excitement; it knits families togeth er by gentlest bands; and it makes a paradise of home. What mechanic is that who may not command these pleasures ? What pleasures of the bar-room, the cir cus, the gaming table, the theatre, are equal to these in purity and genuine content ? lam sure I shall have the right answer—--if not from mechanics, at least from their wives. But for fear of being prolix, I reserve some other pleasures for a future paper. — Mechanics’ Advocate. A witty word spoken by a rich relative is a very witty affair—even when the wit is not very apparent; but nobody laughs at the wit of a man in disgrace, or whose coat is out at the el bows.

Thom son of Macon, 1 concluded to call on him, which I did, and gave him her symptoms when he prepared and gave me med icine, which in about two months entirely cured her, as she has had none since and is now perfecly healthy, thus adding another to the many cures the Doctor has effected tvithout seeing the patient. TIIOS. M. JOHNSON. Syphilis, Rheumatism & Liver Complaint Cured without seeing the Patient! Jones Cos. Ga. 21st. Sept. 1850. Dr. M. S. Thomsen —Dear Fir: Your success has been such in curing my son of Rheumatism and my negro woman of liver disease, Rheumatism, Syphilis &c. that I cannot re frain from giving you the credit that is due you, for your skill, and if you think that a statement of the cases will be any use in directing other sufferers, to the proper remedies, the following rel .tion of facts is at your disposal. Some 14 years ago, my negro woman Khody was taken in a lingering way, supposed to be caused from Syphilis, treated by herself, which on discovering, I put her under the care of several mineral physicians, l)rs. Little aud White of Mil ledgeville, especially, who after mercurializing her a year or so, left her worse than they found her, laboring in addition under Mercurial Rheumatism. I then applied to Dr. Woodruff, who treated, and I thought cured her, but after a while, she became worse again, so much so that I despaired of relieving her. Under these cir cumstances I applied to you, and 1 am pleased to he able to report, that notwithstanding it is a long time ago, she lias had no return of her disease since, but is now doing me very good service. The case of mv son was one of Mercurial Rlffmatism ari sing from salivation for a fever. After keeping lingering for three or four years, and getting worse all the time, till his limbs were drawn and stiffened very much; notwithstanding all that vvecoulddo, he continued thus, till we applied to you when you soon relieved him,andl ain happy to be able to re port that consider him relieved cured, and has been so twelve months. In conclusion, dear sir, go on and prosper, you may have ene. mies, as who that is any account has not, but success in curing such desperate cases must bear you up, and that your success may be commensurate with your merits is the earnest wish of yours truly, GILLIS WRIGHT. The undersigned continues his treatment of all manner of chronic forms of disease, through the mail, the facilities of which have been much enhanced since the introduction of the cheap postage system, which will he greatly increased by the recent Act of Congress. The afflicted, no matter .where they reside, by sending a statement of the symptoms of their cases in writing, may have Medicines to suit them compounded and sent, and might count upon receiving it with the same certainty that they would a letter. That they can tw cured vvithont a personal interview and examination, is strange, but that hundreds are thus cured, is no more strange than true. In orderthatnf/, the poor as well as the rich, may enjoy the benefits resulting from his treatment, the subscriber puts his terms at the low rate of five dollars monthly, cash or good re ference, to all those who are able to pay, and freely and grat uitously to those who are not, provided they pay theirpostage. His Infirmary is open for the reception of Negroes; and for other cases requiring his personal attention, City accommoda tions are ample. He still continues the treatment of acute case,®, in town or in the immediate surrounding country, but cannot leave the city to go long distances except in cases of most urgent neces sity. Heing possessed of some of the latest improvements in surgical apparatus, he is prepared to treat fractures, disloca tions, &lc. in a manner superior to the plans usually adopt ed and calculated to succeed in many instances when these would inevitably fail.

The superior of Quinine and Sarsaparilla. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. DR. I. T. HENDERSON’S EUREKA TONIC AND NEPENTHE AN PILLS, a safe, certain aud permanent antidote against all forms of the pois onous effects of miasmata, effecting speedy and per manent cures of CHILLS and FEVER, and all the different varieties of Fevers ; torpid liver, enlargement of the spleen, dyspepsih, dropsy, .Jaun dice, and all kinds of constitutional debility and de rangement of the system, are speedily remedied by these invaluable medicines. These valuable antidotal remed es were discovered by Dr. I. T. Henderson, and have been successfully tested by some of the best Phy sicians in the South, and by thousands of other per sons. Hie medicines are wholly \ egetable, and are harm less under any circumstances. The principal ingredi ents are entirely new remedies, used by no other person in any form as a medicine. In malarial diseases, they act as an antidote against the poisonous effects of impure air, and require no pre ceding preparation of the system, as they comprise the Cathartic, Diaphoretic, Sedative and Tonic princi ples ; thus accomplishing a desideratum in the treat ment of these diseases, leug sought for before the dis covery of these medicines. All who have used Quinine, (the best remedy here tofore known for intermittent fever,) must sav it is neither certain or lasting in its effects. Quinine, in many instances, from febrile excitement and gastralgia, and cephalic disturbances, is inad missible. But the Eureka Medicines can be used un der any circumstances or condition of the system, where a tonic, purge, or diaphoretic is needed, with the happiest effect. The tonic mildly acts on the bowels, carrying of the muco billious matter collected there ’ correcting the action of the liver and spleen, and as sisting natnre to throw of the impediments to a healthy action of the body by natural remedies, calling into action suspended animal laws; thereby removing the causes and effects of disease through the natural chan nels of the body. All that is asked for the wonderful medicines is a fair trial, which will satisfy all of their unparalelled vir tues. Their fame is built upon their own efficacy, and a comparison with all other remedies is challenged.— Physicians are requested to use the Eureka Tonic and Nepenthean Pills, as they would any other tonic, with any previous preparation of the system they and they will be convinced that they are superior to Quinine, and the whole catalogue of tonics used as iu termittents. Their use is admissible at any time, even when the patient has the highest fever. For sick head ache or Obstructed menstruation, they have no equal. For particulars, see tonic directions. A l -.!*.
