National Agricultural Congress.

fiMaamt'* Omc*, Numui, Taira.,l 4 Xuth, 1874. 4L The third MMtaNMf this Congress will be held *t Atlanta, Ga., M*y 18,1874. This location affords to Northern representatives an excellent opportunity to team something of Bontbofa agriculture, and on this ground the selection was strongly favored by the Northern delegation at Indianapolis. The necessary arrangements for the occasion will, it is understood, be ample and complete. Kbpbessntation.— This Is a purely representative body, since, by the amended constitution, agricultural or kindred societies which shall have contributed or may contribute five dollars to defray incidental expenses''ll the body Are entitled to one delegate each, without reference to the number of membership. This includes State Boards of Agriculture, Horticulture and Pomology, United States Department of Agriculture, each agricultural school or college, National, State and subordinate Granges; also, State Farmers’ Associations and Farmers’ Clubs. Objects Contemplated.— By an annual gathering of representatives of the industrial and producing classes from different parts of the Union, representing every phase of agri- . culture, from that strictly scientific to the thoroughly practical, to eliminate and treat of those interests of the farmer which are general; to consider agriculture in a national, not local, point of view; to suggest remedies for the manv difficulties and disadvantages under which the farmer now labors; the promotion of an intelligent understanding of political economy in its relation to agriculture by papers and discussions upon finance, taxation, commerce, etc., and it is designed as common ground where all the elements, the open and secret, composing the Farmers’ movement, can come together, harmonize and unify the whole, which is indispensable to secure success and to bring about economy and reform in the administration of government, and thereby restore the country to its pristine purity. The parting injunction of that great and good man, Com. M. F. Maury, who may be truthfully styled the high priest of science, and the sincere and able advocate"of agriculture in all its departments, in his St. touis address, was: “ Foster this agricultural congress; and among the herculean labors that devolve upon a truly national agricultural congress is the strangling of monster monopolies and the rescuing the industries of the land from odious tariffs.” In view of the representation, aims, and objects, and necessity of such an annual convocation of representative farmers and scientific gentlemen, and especially since the farmermind is thoroughly aroused to the necessity of considering with the greatest deliberation many questions touching the industrial interests of the country, and has now become ready for vigorous and effective action, .there is every reason to expect a full representation, and I therefore urge upon all constituent bodies, and especially the Patrons of Husbandry, to be represented It is especially requested that notification shall be made of the appointment of delegates to Charles WV Greene, Secretary, Jacksonville, Hi:, at as early a date as practicable. W. H. Jackson, President. ORDER Or BUSINESS. The following programme is suggested, subject to revision by the executive council, and the gentlemen named have been invited to open the dis enssion.

An Exciting Race — The Story of a Grave Robbery.

1 In a town of Northern New York a poor man went to his grave by a disease of the brain, concerning which the local medical authorities differed widely and acrimoniously. In fact two particular physicians, who had long been professional rivals, eo radically'disagreed as to the exact character of the case that, when he whose treatment prevailed could not save the patient, the other did not hesitate to allege that the sick man had been deby ignorant mismanagement. When a respectable practitioner casts such an imputation upon a member of his own professional school, he should •be prettv confident of his ability to prove it, and the accuser in the present instance was not unaware of his imperative obligation substantiate his accusation. But how was ta d , onfc? He had firmly maintained that J’ e caused by a turn...' removal of the same bv an ope.. , B f ve the patient’s fife. His . nsi ® M?* l there was no tumor, and conseqnv. uU Y dld not perform the operation. Now, nuTV was it to be practically demonstrated that the tumor did exist if the patient was in his grave ? There was but eue way of do- - ing that, and the doctor adopted it. On Christmas Eve, near m'Maight, when lights shone brightly from houses far and at hand, and the snow lay crisp?? on the ground, the professional disputant, whose truth and standing were at stake, as he considered, in the matter, took a confidential Student of his with him' in the sleigh to the graveyard, where had been placed the hapless subject of’dispute, and rapidly and silently disinterred the poor body and placed it in the vehicle. The whip was given to the horse, and away started the sleigh on the snowy road to the surgery’. But scarely had the desecrators of man’s last resting-place got under way with their ghastly prize when the muffled beat Of horse’s hoofs somewhere p B Uie. darkness behind them told that they had been watched and were being pursued. Sharper fell The whip, and the spirited young animal before the sleigh went like the wind! yet still the pursuing hoofbeats sounded through the keen air, showing that the pursuer was well mounted. Turning from the main road Into a by-way. or short-cut, leading through a swampy piece of woods, the fugitives managed to gain enough distance to stop the sleigh a moment just at the edge of a plank bridge, over a frozen woodland stream, ana stretch a rope across the dark and narrow road. This done, they were off again for the surgery close at hand, Jwith the gallop of the pursuer coming sharply again to their ears. Pausing once again beyond the bridge to bear presently the collision of the coming horseman with the unseen rope, a crash, a cry of wrath, the two men carried the body to the house and triumphantly deposited it oh the dissecting table. Then, thinking of nothing but his own discredited diagnosis of the disease and the glory it would be to prove it trne, the daring practitioner set to work with bis Instrument*. Carefully shaving one side of (he head and entting through the soalp over the spot where the principal

pain had been,lie bored with his trephine through the skull until a circular button of hone, about as large as a copper cent, was removed, and, behold, there was, indeed, the tumor! But the strangest scene of the enrious drama was yet to come, and may be best described iii the' doctor’s own words: "With no small degree of self-satisfaction I threw down my instruments and was going down stairs when I heard a faint sigh. As I kneeled by the dead man’s side and, candle in hand, gazed anxiously into his pallid features, he feebly gasped and raised his eyelids. My God! Could it be reality? Eagerly the slender thread of life was seized upon, and hour by hour, day by day, week by week, it was strengthened into a cable •of perfect health.’’ In other words, the supposed dead man, whose disinterment had occurred but a few hours after burial, had been only insensible instead of dead, and the removal of the tumorous pressure on his brain was just in time to save his life. And another strange discovery was that on the same Christmas night the doctor who had denied the tumor had broken his arm by falling from his horse! Suspecting what his rival intended, he, too. had ridden secretly to the graveyard, ana was the pursuing horseman whom the con-' cealed rope across the road so signally overthrew.— N. Y. Express.

Another Watch Swindle.

A young gentleman of this city has shown us a letter purporting to come from Howard & Co., importers and manufacturers of watches, jewelry and silverware, ISS South Clark street, Chicago, which read? as follows: The watch received from you Jan. 15 is ready for delivery. Yon were correct when yon stated it could not be repaired outside of our house. We have had great difficulty with it but it is now in thorough order, and we warrant it to keep correct time for five years. You wrote the watch was found, and desired to know the worth. It is a very valuable time-piece, and must have cost at least SSOO. It Is now worth S4OO, and for any one desiring a valuable time-keeper is really cheap at first cost. The cost of repairs is summed up, amounting to $20.25, and the gentleman requested to remit the amount by express and have the watch sent to him; but his eyes are sharp enough to see through the trick. The object was to make the gen. tleman believe his name has gotten mixed up with some one who has sent a valuable watch for repairs, get him to remit the amount charged in the bill, and swindle him out of the sum remitted. Doubtless this is one of the hundreds of transcripts of a thieving letter that has been sent broadcast through the land. Of course no watch Comes, and as the person ttending the money is trying to obtain goods under false pretenses he has to “ grhr and bear” his loss.—Pan's Kentuckian.

Narrow Stable Boors.

A man who will habitually take a horse through a narrow door knows very little of what a horse remembers, or what is fair treatment to the animal. One single blow on the hip against the sharp corner of a doorway is sometimes sufficient to ruin a valuable horse. But when that blow lias been several times repeated the horse becomes a highly dangerous animal. We have seen a horse whose hips were never healed after striking two or three times in passing through a narrow way. Another dangerous practice is the leading of horses out of the barn doors by the sides of loads of hay, grain, etc. A slight blow upon the hip will sometimes so excite a high-spirited horse that the person leading loses control over him, and he escapes upon a jump, banging his hips and shoulders as he proceeds, leaving patches of skin and hair as evidence that. he has got through. Many a valuable horse has been ruined in this way, and many a valuable one can- be saved by never leading him through a narrow space. —Neio England, Farmer.

Pride seems to be pretty equally divided. i have seen just az mutch pride in a stage driver and dansing-master az i hav ever seen in a newly-elekted member to the legislator. Good luk makes a wize man karephUll, but a phool it makes kareless. The world judges ov us bi what they see, not bi what they know. It iz a good plan, then, to sko them a bold front. It would seem that the poorest friend and the wust enemy a man haz got iz himself. It iz the eazyest thing in natur to be honest yet most men make dredful hard work oV it. He who iz allwuss hunting for friends seldum finds enny. I kan most generally tell how other people ought to akt, but how to akt miself frequently’ bothers me.

FAUX AND HOUSEHOLD.

—Linen that is placed immediately after being ironed near the stove or in the hot sun is stiffer when dry than if it is permitted to dry slowly. It is a-’good plan to lay collars and small articles on a dry waiter and set them on a kettle or other support on the stove till they are quite dry. A bowl of clear water and a clean old linen cloth are useful to remove any specks the linen may acquire before or while being irened. —Mushroom Catsup.—Clean the mushrooms by wiping them and cutting off the ends of the stems. Put them in a deep pan and sprinkle salt over each layer; let them remain for two days; then put them in a sieve and strain off all the juice; pour it-into your preserving kettle. Allow twelve cloves, twelve allspice, two or three pieces of mace and half a nutmeg, grated. Let it boil for fifteen minutes; remove it from the fire, and let it stand for two or three days. Strain, and bottle for use. —The New York Herald says there is no use in manuring land to grow weeds; in buying tools to rust out under a stone wall; in erecting buildings to rot away for want of paint and care; in buying animals and leaving then) to the unhindered action of disease; in accumulating manure to fill the air with its exhalations and the brooks with its teachings; in raising forage to floor a barnyard with; in buying land to yearly lose its strength and virtue; in growing crops to feed unheeded insects. Yetmore than one of these defects may be seen on almost every farm in the country, and the extent to which they lower the average success of our farmers is greater than would be believed. —A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph writes: “ On dry or wet ground the effect of the roller is found to he salutary. Plowed and prepared for sowing, dry land is much helped by the roller. The blades of grass spring up sooner and retain a firmer hold in the earth. In a season of drought, rolling has saved the crop when without it the seed would have never sprung from the ground. In wet and heavy ground it is believed the roller, smoothing and hardening the stlrface, will leave the soil immediately beneath the surface in a better condition to generate the seed. On grass ground that has been heaved by the frost the roller has an excellent effect in fixing the roots. Rolling the ground is also good when the land has been laid down unevenly the previous year. If the land is too dry, wait till just after a soaking rain, and it will work capitally. It is a good idea to roll plowed sowed* ground before harrowing, as it presses down the furrows that would be turned back, and makes the surface less uneven, and the harrow pulverizes it much. We find that on an average not one fanner in four has a roller.”

Forst Trees from Seed.

Tree planting has become in some parts of the country a subject of great importance. Trees for timber, fuel, shade and shelter are needed in all prairie countries, and while we appreciate the great necessity for tree planting, and would urge everyone, East or West, to consider whether timber is not the best crop he can put upon parts of his land, we mave not had so much to say about raising trees from seed as perhaps our friends think they have a right to expect. We would not lead our readers into experiments that if not expensive are likely to be fruitless. How many persons opening up a new farm on the prairie can find time to take proper care of a vegetable or a flower garden? Yet the raising of trees from seed demands as much or more care than do vegetables or flowers, and our hardy white pine and other evergreens require in their early years much greater attention than a delicate flower. Premising that we advise no one to undertake to grow trees from seed unless he is quite able to give them as much care as the same number of lettuces or cabbages, we give a few condensed notes which will answer many inquiries. Evergreens we cannot advise the ordinary farmer to undertake to raise from seed ;4hey require so much care in shading and otherwise, and small plants are sold by those who make a business of growing them at such low rates, that we are sure that ninety-nine in one hundred Will find it much more satisfactory in the end to purchase. We therefore confine our remarks to deciduous trees. Tree Seeds that Must Be Sown as Soon as Ripe.—Soft or red and silver maple, elm, and red birch. If kept exposed even for a few days after they are gathered their vitality will be destroyed. These seeds are not generally kept by seedsmen, though some take orders in advance to be filled when the seeds ripen. Those who wish to sow seeds of these should arrange beforehand with some friend to gather them, or dealer to supply them, and be prepared to sow the day they are received. The plants come up at once, and make nice young trees by fall. Tree Seeds To Be Sown in Place—that is, the; seed to be sown where the tree is to stand—include the different hickories, the butternut, and black walnut. The seeds are collected in fall, made into heaps, and covered with sods, over which are thrown several inches of earth. In the spring the nuts are sown in place, putting in two or three near together, and it all start remove all but one. Trees that Must Be Transplanted when Small.—The chestnut, beech, and oaks of all kinds are to be sown in a seed-bed and transplanted the first or second autumn. The nuts are to be kept during winter, Jttixei wilLffUeastan equal hulk of sand, jn a cool place where they will not get too dry. Seeds of Trees that May Be Sown in Fall.—Ash of various species, liquidambar, tulip tree, cucumber and other magnolias. These may also be sown in spring if properly kept through the winter in sand. Seeds Better Sown in Spring, But They Should Be Carefully Kept Through the Winter in Sand.—Maples of all kinds, including the ash-leaf or box elder, and excepting the silver and soft; birehes, except the red, basswood, Kentucky coffee tree, ailanthus, catalpa, paulownia. Seeds Needing Preparation Before Sowing in Spring.—Osage orange, scald and keep warm and moist until it sprouts; buttonball, soak; honey locust and common or black locust, scald. Trees Grown from Cuttings.—All willows and poplars trom branches an inch and less in diameter; ailanthus and paulownia from cuttings of the root. Seeding trees require just as careful thinning and weeding as a crop of carrots. If they suffer from the heat of the sun stick brush with the leaves on all over the bed sufficiently thick to give a proper shade, or use a screen of laths. The leading tree seeds are kept by most seedmen.— American Agriculturist. A man at Bridgeport, Conn., has named his two canaries “ Wheeler” and “Wilson,” because neither of them is a “ Singer.” The only historical parallel for this case is offered by the old farmej; who called his rooster Robinson, because Robinson Crusoe. : ■ ■■■ Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment may beadmin Istered to children with perfect success, in cases of croup, whooping-cough, influenza and almost any of the diseases to which they axe liable.

Don’t Tamper with a Cough.— Perhaps in the whole category of diseases to which humanity la susceptible, the cough is most neglected In Its early stage. A simple cough—generally regarded as a temporary affliction Is unpleasant and nothing more; but to those who have paid dearly for experience, It la the signal for attack for the most fearful of all diseases—Consumption. A cough will lead to consumption—if not chocked —so sure as the rivulet leads to the river, yet it Is an easy enemy to thwart, If met by the proper remedy.

A Word in Season.— Health is a blessing which comparatively few enjoy in all its fullness. Those endowed by nature with robust frames and vigorous consti tutions r should be careful not to trifle with them. When we enter the seasons of periodic fevers the increased heat of the sun developes a miasma which pervades the air. The evil is inextinguishable; our duty to guard against it is imperative! Fortunately for those whose lot is cast in low marshy districts or new clearings, nature provides a cure and preventive. Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are endowed with rare prophylactic or disease-preventing powers, and, as “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” should be taken in the full vigor of health, so as to fortify the system against the assault of summer disease , and thus secure, by their life-giving, strengthening, restorative and antiseptic virtues, a defense against atmospheric poison. 38

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It arises from a cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these parts, from scrofulous affections, and from severe use of the voice. The irritation from this latter cause commences in the larynx and glottis, which are the organs of the voice, and, extending downward, produces hoarseness, coughing and spitting mucous matter, sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to spread into the lungs and terminate in consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of this disease that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has achieved unparalleled success and won the loudest praise from all who have used it. SSEC A DEBT OF GRATITUDE: Mrs. Mary Taft, of Elk Point, Dakota Territory, called at the World’s Dispensary, Aug. 19, 1873, to acknowledge a debt of gratitude due Dr. Pierce, having been entirely cured of Catarrh, complicated with Throat Disease, by the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

KM l)r. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters!” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They aro a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. Walker’s V inegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vm. egar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and livep and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs," is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach,,Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a Hundred other painful symptoms. are the offsprings oTDyspepsia. VaA ayottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scroftila, or King’s Evii, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, Walker's Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of • the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such a* Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, aro subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of mediciue, ilo Vonttifilgee, B» anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married ox single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed uni sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it il foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keej the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. H. MCDONALD & CO., Druggist* and Gen. Agts., San Francisco, California and cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts., N. Y.
