.Hinins/rnMt. From the Southern CultLvatqiw How lo Dig lli«- «W«* Foiato. Eds. South'* Cultivator :—Lust spring there were sevtiiui vuluubla commitrnAoCoDfl in your journal, on ornr aring for, setting nut, anti cultiva tion point©*—ddjerinK no oordinfr to the soils . cultivated*— by your I "ivft* benefit'ed liy their perusal I never knew so well before, bow to set nut e'ips with ease, dlsjlntcn and success. I rVTer to the use of a 3 /bn* board or j stiifV, about,2 /riches across the point, j to push the slip in the ground, and the pn»<W|b of the dirt to the plant, by the foot. With the ground in good work ing order—atid it never should he wet tei, if nyfiidable—mmy of the plonts will * ever know* ‘(as the eaviiig is.) that thev have been moved None of your successful potato raisers, how ever, told how to d'g them Possibly because the time for so doing was too far off, and it might be forgotten. I have learned 'now to dig them, sc6itf<*n tally, and can perform that part much better than the raising and keeping— though I am tolernb'y successful in the former. As Tam always willing to give an equivalent for what I re ceive from others, I will give you the plan, for the benefit of all not already posted—being satisfied, that when tried, it will never be abandoned for any other. There i? n regular potato plow, but I have never seen one I eupposo that would be the implement to use, if on hand If not, put a long (not too large) shovel, full in the mid dle, on an ordinary plow s‘oek. The i shovel coming with the Brinly would j be just right. Hitch a pair of good i mules or horses, and split the ridge with the first furrow The drieer upon getting to the end, Poking back, will thipk someone has come behind him, with a basket of potatoes, and streived them along the furrow. The beauty is in the fact, that if ihe plow has been put in as deep ns the team could pull it steadijy, the shovel point has gone "below, and lifted the roots, and there ■will be scarcely one cut. Then with the same, or single horse, split cither *idp—first picking up—and your pota toes are all dug Under the old regi me, with scooters or hoes, or the first alone, many of the'roots'were ruined, by running on either side, and then splitting. The vines should first be gotten oft, or they may choke the ■plow, so as to lift it out of the ground. Mine never bother me, for I feed them off to hogs, milch cows and mules, all eating them greedily, bene fitting my j stock and potatoes too. I am now cutting either side of the row, some 12 inches from the hill, with an old scythe, pulling off, by running a scoo ter down each middle' and feeding The vinos put out again rapidly, but are checked enough to help the growth of the potato.

Almost Every Case Cured With PAIN KILLER. Read the following letter from Rev. R. Tel ford, Missionary to Chi;.a, now visiting his home iu Pennsylvania : Washtnotss, Pa,, June 26, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis k Son, Providence, R. I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy lof that fearful scourge the cholera. In administering the medicine, I fouud it most effectual to give a teaepoonful of Pain Killer in a gill of hot water sweet ened with sugar; j hen after about fifteen minutes, begin lo give a. tablespoonful of the same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply bot applications to the ex tremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain Kil ler, cltar, and rub the limb? briskly. Os those who had the cholera and took the medicine taithiuhy ip the way siated above, eight out ot ten recovered. Truly tdnrs, K. Telford. In an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysonterv, or Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use of the Pain Killer. Sold by all n.edicinj dealers. Price 25 cents, 50 cents and J! per bottle. Swatow, China, Sept. 22, 1865. Messrs. Perry Davis k Son : Dear Sns—l ought to have acknowledge'! long ago the box of Pain Killer you had the goodness to send us last year. Its coming was most prov idenlial. I believe hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap peared here soon after we received it. We resorted at once to the “Pain Killer,” using as directed for cholera. A list was kept of all to whom the “.Pain Killer” was given, and our native assistants assures us that eight out of every ten tj whom it was prescribed re covered. It has, too, been very useful in va rious other diseases. It has proved an incaN culable blessing to multitudes of poor people throughout all this region. Our native preach ers are never willing to go out on their ex cursions without a supply of the “Pain Kill er.” It gives them lavor in the eyes of the people, aud access to families and localities by whom otherwise they wouid be indiffer ently received. Believe me, dear sir, grate fully and faithfully yours, etc. J. M. Johnson, Missionary in China apr3o’6Bl y BROWN HOUSE E. E. BROWN & SON, Fourth St., Opposite PasseDger Depot, Jtlacon, Georgia.
