Potash fob Potatoes.—In a recent
address, Dr. Nicholas, of the Journal
of Chemi.'try, alluded to the “ dete
rioration in our potato crop during the
past twenty years,” and n>ade the fol
lowing explanation regarding the
causes of this falling off: I have a
field of potatoes upon my farm which
I expect will yield J00 bushels to the
acre, which may be regarded as an old-
fashioned crop. I know that this croi
will remove from the soil, in
and tops, at least 400 pounds of pot
ash. I am also certain it will remove
150 pounds of phosphoric acid. Now
these amounts are very large, and
serve to show that the potato plant is
a great consumer of the two substances;
and also, it show’s that in order to re
store our potato fields to their former
productive condition, we must supply
phosphatic compounds and substances
holding potash in large quantities.
For six or tight generations in New
England our fathers have been ex
hausting the soil, by removing these
agents in their potato and other crops,
and we- have reached a time when the
vegetables are starving in our fields for
want of their proper food. Our farm
ers have lound that new land gives the
best crops, and this is due to the fact
that such fields afford the most potash.
But so long as we crop our potatoes
so unreasonably, we cannot resort to
new land, as land is not new that has
had its potash and phosphatic ele
ment8 removed by grazing animals
Remember that a potato field which
gives but 100 bushels to the acre, re
quire at least 1G0 pounds of potash,
but by allowing the tops to decay up
on the field, 60 pounds of this is re
stored to the soil again, as that amount
is contained in them. A medium crop
of potatoes requires twice as much
phosphoric acid as a medium crop ot
wheat, so that in two years with
wheat, the land is deprived of no more
of the agent than it loses in one year
with potatoes.
Boggy Land.—One of the best
educated farmers this country has ever
produced says: ‘’American farmers
pay too little attention to their boggy
lands. The soluble elements of nutri
tion from their cultivated fields are an
nually washed down into some neg
lected bog, where vast deposits of hu
mus lock them up in combinations
only to be broken up by draining the
bog or hauling out its contents upon
dry land.”
Spring water often brings salts ol
lime, potash and magnesia for miles,
underground, before it comes to the
surface, and finally evaporates partly
or wholly in some swamp. That salt
pans of this character, and Nature’s
manure basins should be capital land
when drained, is as natural as anything
can be. L.
Preserve this Carefully.—In re
ply to C. W. C., p. 16S, I can give
some facts which may be of use to
somebody, thtreby saving life. The
time between the biting of an animal
by a mad dog and showing signs oi
hydrophobia is not less than nine days,
but may be nine months. After the
animal has become rabid, a bite or
scratch with his teeth upon a person,
or slobber coming i.i contact with a
sore or raw place, would produce hy
drophobia just as soon a3 though he
had been bitten by a mad dog. Hy-
'^'jj’^Jdrophobiacan be prevented, and I will
give what is well known to be an in
fallible remedy, if properly adminis
tered, for man or beast. A dose for a
horse or cow should bs about four
times as great as for a person. It is
not too late to give medicine any time
before the spasms come on.
The first dose for a person, is one
and a half ounces, elecampane root,
bruised, put in a pint of new milk, re
duced to one half by boiling, then
taken all at one dose in the morning,
fasting until after noon, or at least a
very light diet alter several hours have
elapsed. The second dose the same as
first, except take two ounces of the
root; third dose the same as last, to
be taken every othe- day. Three
Joses are all that is needed, and there
need be no fear. This I know from
my own experience, and I know of
a number of other cases where it has
been entirely successful. This is no
guess-work. Those persons I allude
to were bitten by their own dogs, that
had been bitten by rabid dogs, and
were penned up to see if the^* would
go mad; they did go mad, and did
bite the persons. This remedy has
been used in and about Philadelphia
for forty years and longer with great
success, and is known as the Good
man remedy. I am acquainted with
a physician who told me he knew of
its use for more than thirty years, but
never knew a case that failed where it
was properly administered. Among
other cases he mentioned was one
where a number of cows had been bit
ten by a mad dog. To half of the
number they administered this reme
dy, to the other half not. The latter
all died with hydrophobia, while those
that took the elecampane and milk
showed no signs of that disease.—R.

The Knowledge Necessary to a
Good Farmer.
TVe were never moie forcibly impressed
with the necessity to the farmer of an al
most unlimited education, than in the
perusal of the list of subjects arranged by
a commitee of tbe Georgia State Agiicul-
turai Socieity, to wbicli were made re
ference in 1 lie May number.
These subjects, to number 116, are ar
ranged in 12 general classes. We refer
below to a few of tbe subjects, a casual ex
amination ol which will show the broad
field open to the observation and research
of him who tills the soil. And a man, to
be a successful farmer, must have a fair
acqumtaiice with Dearly all the subjects
preseuted, and be able to harmonize in
consistencies, to comprebeud seeming in
congruities, and, above all, must be able
to combine theory and practice.
The following are some of tbe subjects
presented under the first general dvision:
“Original Condition of the Farm.” He
must consider its cost; its capacity for
production, not only as a whole, but in its
several fields, and decide upon the class
ot farming he will undertake as influenced
by accest-ability to markets, and etc.
Under the head of “Preparation of
Land,” he must decide first when be
shall plow, whether in the fall or Spring;
whether it is necessary or advisable to
subsoil , whai kind of plow will best turu
or stir the soil; whether it will answer to
turn up clay ; plow shallow or deep; the ef
feet ot hariowing, pulverisiugor leveling;
whether he shall cultivate in beds or on a
1 :vel, and all these considerations are to be
infl. enced by the kind of seed he proposes
to plant.
Lnuer the head of “Fertilization,” he
roust decide what constituents the land is
lacking ; what kind ol manure that is avail
able will best supply the want; this calls
for a knowledge which years in the cheat
ic«l labratory will hardly afford ,—how
it shall be applied—on the surface, mixed
with the soil or deposited in tbe drill—
whether in liquid or solid form ; the mode
of hauling out to save expense; when to
apply; whether previous to, at the time
of, er subsequent to the planting of the
seed.
But why go farther? We could fill our
sixty four columns and not exhaust the
subjects which would receive the farmers
attention, and all of this 6et apart, gener
ally for the dull member of the family.
This sort of knowledge is unworthy the
consideration of the "pride of the flock/'
whose mind must be cramped and stunted
by confining it to the acquisition of what
men have wirtten in books, instead of ex
ploring the realm and unraveling the
mysteries of nature.
iiow much should a farmer know? He
may possess all of practical knowledge
wt.ich books can teach ; all that the ob
servations of a lifetime will unfold of the
great book of nature, and yet have noth
ing which may not be in the routine of
farm life. He may not require special
education in all tbe various branches, in
deed, this would be impossible, but be
needs a fund of general information from
which to select as occasion may require.
Tbe sooner we devest ourselves of the
idea that the farmer needs do special educa
tion, the earlier may we behold agricul
ture occupying the foremost position among
the world’s industries to which it is, by
right, entitled. It is gratifying indeed to
mark the revolution in public sentiment
now in progress, and having special refer
ence to the creation of a proper class spirit
among farmers, awakening a commendable
P'ide in their vocation and inciting them
to vigorous action in promoting the good
work. American Farmer’s Advocate.
Coal Oil.—Use coal oil to clean
furniture and remove blotches and hide
scratches • it is excellent. When sew
ing machines get gummed up, U8e it to
loosen the dirt, acd it win c i ean n
without water or soap; then grease
it with sperm oil, aod tbe machinery
will be like new.
Crows and Men.—Ilenry Ward
Beecher speaks of the Crow as fol
lows :
Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, we have a warm side
toward the crow ; he is so much like
one of ourselves. He is lazy, and
that is human ; he is cunning, and
that is human. He takes advantage
of those weaker than himself, and that
is manlike. He is shy, and hides for
to-morrow what he can’t eat to-day,
showing a real human providence,—
He learns tricks much faster than he
learns useful things, showing a true
boy-nature. He thinks his own color
the best, and loves to hear his own
voice, which are evident traits of hu
manity. He will never work when
he can get another to work for him—
a genuine human trait. He eats
whatever he can get his claws upon,
and is less mischievous with a belly
full than when hungry, and that is like
man. He is at war with all living
things except his own kind, and with
them when he has nothing else to do.
No wonder men despise crows. They
are too much like men. Take off his
wings, and put him in breeches, and
crows would make fair average men.
Give men wings, __ and reduce their
smartness a little, and many of them
would be almost good enough to be
crows.
Farmers should put up their bread
corn in the shuck, to guard it against
the ravages of the weevil.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOB PCBirilXC THE BIOOD.
The reputation this ex
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
many of which ore truly
marvellous. Inveterate
cases of Scrofulous dis*
ease, where tbe system
seemed saturated with
corruption, have been
purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders .which were ag-
C rated by tbe scrofta-
s contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
eur’ed in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfe't
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites theattackof enfeeblingor fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles mav be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, of tumors formed in the liver, or it 6nows
its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer
ations on some part of the body Hence the occa
sional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad
visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following com-
J )laints generally find immediate relief, and, at
ength, cure, by the use of this SARSAPARIL
LA: St. Anthony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas,
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptions or
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, neuralgia,
and the various Herrons affections of the muscu
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though a long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies bv anv medicine.
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. Leucorrhcea or Whites, Uterine
Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are com
plied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
In the blood, vield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, ’Torpidity, Congestion ox Inflam
mation of the lArrr, and Jaundice, when arising,
ns they often do, from the rankling poisons in tha
blood. This SARSAPARILLA Is a great re
storer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those who are Languid and Listless, Despon
dent, Sleepless, and troubled with JVenous Ap
prehensions or Fears, or any of the affections
symptomatic of Weakness. will find (jnmediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative
power upon trial.

HAIR
ENEWER
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its U6e, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and* I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”
