AGRICULTURAL. Broom Corn. As there is constantly an increasing demand for broom corn, it lias become one oi the staple articles of produce in ■ this country, and a most profitable crop to raise in certain sections, by those who understand it; for in this, as in anything else, you must understand what is to be done, and how to do it. Soil that will grow Indian corn, will also produce good broom corn. Never prepare soil for the culture of broom corn, that produces poor Indian corn, if you oo not wish to reap the same result in return. The soil should not be plowed long before planting, and it may be prepared in the same manner as for Indian corn, while care is taken to have the ground thoroughly harrowed. In selecting the seed, great care should be exercised in purchasing the very best that can be procured, as it is a crop that deteriorates rapidly, and the seed should be changed often. Some advocate changing the seed as ofted as every other year, in order to secure a good crop of tine brush. To be certain that the seed is perfectly good, it is always best to test some of it by sprouting before planting; many a failure of securing a good crop has arisen in consequence of neglecting to lest the seed; to much caution, therefore, cannot be exercised in this respect. From the 10th of May io the 10th of June is the usual time for planting; but generally it is best to put in the seed about the 25th of May. In planting by hand, mark off the field in rows tnree feet apart, and drop 8 or 10 seed in a hill, the hills being about 18 inches apart and cover with a hoe about an inch deep with fine, moist earth. Where large fields are planted, a seed planter can be used to great advantage. Novel Way of Treating Peach Trees. A Mr. Bolmer, of Franklin, Ohio, has invented a very ncvel, yet apparently good way of protecting his peach trees and seeming regular crops of this uncer tain crop. The principal feature of Mr Bulmer’s plan is the mounding of the earth up around the trunk of the tree to a height of four or five feet, ia some cases one or two feet above the fork. He applied this treatment to one tree seven teen years ago, when it was four years old, since which time it has borne thirteen crops, five or six of which were heavy. This tree was split down at the fork by a storm eleven years ago, but was afterwards braced up and the ruptured part enclosed in the mound. Both parts still live, and the large partis healthy, and vigorous, showing no signs of decay. It bore a good crop of fruit this year, and the produce of his orchard was between six and seven thousand dollars. The operation is regarded as ol great interest to horticulturists, and though extremely novel, and apparently absurd, the results are each as to command attention. Let our farmers and horticulturists try the experiment on a few trees at least. It is worthy a trial.— Selected. Measuring Corn In the Crib. Mr. Miner:—Your rule for measuring corn in the crib will not hold good, according to the laws of corn. Bv statute it Is enacted that in the sale of charcoal fruits, vegetables, shell-fish, "and all other article's" sold by heaped measure, 1281 cubic inches shall constitute a half bushel. Hence, your heap 8 feet long. 6 feet wide and 4 feet high, would produce as follows: —8 *6 x 4 — 192 cubic, feet, which, multiplied by 1728, the cubic inches in a foot, would equal 351,776 cubic inches, which divided by 2.564, the cubic inches in a bushel, and you have 128 33 52 bushels of ears, which divide by ?, and the result is 64 32-194 bushels shelled corn. M. A. Holcomb. Burlington, Conn. Farming iu Indiana* Mr. Newton, the United States Com tnissioners of Agriculture, at Washington, in bis report for January. 1866, gave the average bushels per acre, and the price per bushel, on the first day of January, in each of the years of 1864, mi I 1865. of the various crops of the s-veral States. We quote those of wheat and corn for Indiana. In 1864. the average number of bushels of wheat »sr acra was 14, and the average price psr bushel on the Ist dav of January 1865, was Si 75. In 1865 the aver age number of bushels per acre was 81, end the average price per bushel, on the Ist of January, 1866, was SI 35}. In 1864, the average number of bushels of corn per acre was 20; and the average price per bushel, on the Ist day of January, 1865, was 95} cents. In 1865 the average number of bush- Is per acre was 40 6-10; and the average price per bushel, on the Ist day of January, 1866 was 38 7 10 cents. It thus appears that in 1864, the val ue of the wheat crop, per acre, was | $24 50; and, tn 1865. only about 311 00 i And that in 1864, the value oft’* corn crop, per acre, was $27 69}; and, io 1865, only about 816 00. It thus further appears that corn is a more profitable crop than wheat, unless it costs more to cultivate it than it doea wheat, and there is a difference in the ! value of the straw and the corn stalks ■ On these points we should like to hear‘ froBJ sotne farmer, — Ind.

As a Family Physic. Fr om Dr. E. W. Qirtw right, New Cleans. Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excePnt t qualities surpass any cathartic we possees. They ro ■ mild, but very certain anti effectual in their action on tho bowels, which makes them invaluable to us in the daily treatment of disease. Headache,SickHeadache,Foul Stomach; From Dr. Edward Boyd, Baltimore. Deab Bro.

I place greet dependence ou an effectual cathartic in my daily contest with disease, and believing as I <k> that your Pills afford u> the beat we have, I of course value them highly.

It seems to arise from a foul stomach, which they cleanse Gt once. Yours with great respect, ED. W. PREBLE, Clerk of Steamer Clarion. Bilious Disorders — Liver Complaints, From Dr. Theodore Bell, of New York City. Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their purpose as an aperient, but I find their beneficial effects u|»on the Liver very marked indeed. They have ia my practice proved more effectual for the cure of biHous complaints thuu any one remedy I can nientiou. I sincerely rejoice that we have at length a purgative which is worthy the confidence of the profession aad the people. Department of the Interior. ) Washington, D. C., 7th Feb., 1856» J Sip.: Thave used your Fills in my general and hospital practice ever since you made them, and eannut hesitate to say they are the best cathartic we employ. Their regulating action on the liver is quick and decided, consequently they are an admirable remedy for derangement* of that organ. Indeed, I have seldom found a case of bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily j ield to them. Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, M. D., Physician of the Harins Hospital. Dysentery, Diarrhcea, Relax, Worms. From Dr. J. G. Green, of C.icago. Your Pills have had a long trial in my practice, and I hold them in esu-em as one of the best aperients I have ever found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes them an excellent. remedy, when given in small doses for bilious dysentery aud diarrhcea. Their sugar-coating makes thorn very acceptable and convenient for the use of women and children. Dyspepsia, Impurity of the Blood. From Etv. J. E Himes, Pastor of Advent Church, Button. Dr. Ater: I have used your Pills with extraordinary success in my family and among those I am called to visit in distress. To regulate the organs of digestion and purify the blood, they are the very beat remedy I have ever known, and I can confidently recommend them to my friends. Yuura, J. V. HIMES. Warsaw, Wyoming Co., N. Y.. Oct. 24, 1855. Dear Sir : I am using your Cathartic Pills iu my practice, and find them an excellent purgative to cleanse the system and purify the fountains of the blood. JUHN G. MEACHAM, M. D. Constipation. Costiveness, Suppression, Rheumatlim, (lout, Neuralgia, Dropay, Paralysis, Fits, etc. From Dr. J. P. Vaughn, Montreal, Canada. Too much cannot be said of your Pills for the cure of costi"enfsr. If others of our fraternity have found them as efficacious as I have, they should join me in proclaiming it for the ben f fit of the multitudes who suffer from that complaint, which, although bad enough in itself, is the progenitor of others that are worse. I believe cartiveness to originate iu the liver, but your Pills affect tuat organ and cure the disease From. Mrs. E. Smart, Physician and Midwife, Boston. I find one or two larga Joses of your Pills, taken at the proper time, are excellent prumutives of the natural secretion when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very effectual to c/nirsc the stcirach and expel They are so much the best physic we have that 1 recommend no other to my patients.

Honored Sir: I should be ungrateful fur the relief your skill has brought me if I did not report my case to you. A cold settled in my limbsand brought on excruciating .curalglcpa'.ns, which ended in chronic rheumatism. Notwithstanding I had the l>est of physicians, the disease grew worse and worse, until by tiie advice of your excellent agent in Baltimore. Dr. Mackenzie, I tried your Pills. Their elfecu were slow, but sure. By peiscwring in the use of them, I am new entirely well. Senate Chamber. Bator. Rouge, La.. 5 Dec. 1855.
