i-- jlaihr Jmtndjfc fottrnal. LE.VCHEl) mil. At a recent meeting of the New Yorl farmers' Club, tli3 question was asked, when and how to apply leached ashes tc crops for the best results In reply, Mr Qimnby said he had used over ten thousaix bushels for the last three years, and found them good for all crops on a sandy 1 chestnut loam soil. lie would cover his entire farm with them, if he could get them. If put in the hill, they started corn early and with vigor. Had increased his wheat crop over one hundred per cent, by applvingtwo or three hundred bushels per acre. They also benefited grass, and were one of the best fertilizers for clover. On some of his land which had been hard run before he got it, it was difficult to make clover catch, but leached ashes made it grow splendidly. A new seeded field was only partly ashed, last year, and where the dressing was omitted the clover was poor; on the rest very luxuriant. He ashed part of a rye field, and got a great increase of grain and good clover catch. Thought heavy clay soil was not benefited as much by ashes as lighter loams 01 sand. Mr. Collins had put leached ashes an inch deep on four acres of heavy clay land, and got a fine crop of corn. The stiff clay became more friable, and ploughed up mellow instead of in lumps in a dry time. CARR or HOME PLANTS. There is an art in watering plants which a novice rarely knows. They should never be watered unless they are really thirsty; unless the surface of the soil is dry, then water until it runs out into the saucer. After all are thus thoroughly watered, turn out the surplus which is in the saucers, as it is injurious to most plants to have the pot stand in water. Hydran geas, Calla Lilies and Lobelas are the ex ceptions which prove this rule. Plants which are budding and blossoming vigo rously require more water than those which are not so heallNV. In fact, judgment is needful in this matter of watering, and it is only attained by practice. One thing is very necessary, and that is always to use warm water to the hand. Never apply even one drop of cold water. It chills the roots so that they cannot grow. We had a friend who used to water her plants with the tea left in the teapot after break fast, and her success as a cultivator was marvellous 1 Rather expensive after ‘‘this cruel warhut it certainly was efficacious. All plants kept in rooms should be well washed at least once a fortnight, and once a week will insure a more healthy growth. United States Mail. MAINE.

In its main fea tures it still follows in the pulh marked out by Brougham. Jeffrey. Sydney Smith, and Lord Hol land, iU original founders and first contributors. 2. The London Quarterly Review, which commences its l‘28th volume with the January number, was set on foot as a rival to the Edin burgh. It resolutely maintains its opposition in politics, and shows equal vigor in its literary de partment. 3. The Westminster Review i has just closed its 92d volume. In point of literary ability this Review is fast rising to a level with its competitors. It is the advocate of political and re ligious liberalism. 4. The North British Review, now in it* 51st volume, occupies a very high uosi tion in periodical literature. Passing beyond the i narrow formalism of schools and parties, it appeals to a wider range of sympathies and a higher integ rity of con vk tion.

I have been for the last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man could be and live; but more sometimes than others. The complaint was the Kidneys” and ••Bladder.” I have been sometimes from tw elve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make water even- minute, but could not. Have consult ed doctors,'both in Massachusetts and this State, and taken pills, I may say, by the quart, also liq uored medicines, but found no relief from any, and got worse the last six months. 1 was so that I could scarcely get about. 1 could not rest night or day. It would soon have been “all lip” with me if I had not seen your advertisement iu “The Berkshire Courier” headed “Kidneys.” 1 read it through and thought 1 would try it. purchased a bottle, but, mind you. had not much faith in it. Why should 1, w hen 'l had been li ving so many things and cost me so much Well, 1 began taking it, and before 1 had taken the first bottle 1 felt bad; but 1 finished it and got another. By the time 1 took half of the second I still got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney w as falling from its place, and 1 felt really had. i felt so. before 1 had finished the second, that 1 had made up my mind it was of no u-c trying any more—and all this time tin* “lliiclm” was doing its work, but I did not know it; so 1 gave it up and went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of the best doctors in the city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, and I should 1 have to undergo an operation. He gave me med n ine, and I went home quite downhearted. On Sunday 1 was unable to go to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Buehu.” and in the afternoon 1 had a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour alter this 1 tried again, with the same result; I but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same i as turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It was so for three times, anil the third time there was something came through the passage and struck again-1 the side of the vessel, i examined it, and it is the uglie-t stone or gravel you ever saw, cov* I ered over with little peiees widen collided together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is an hard a« a flint. So you see the “Buehu” was doing its work i although 1 was feeling so badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might be »«>nm more be hind, but since that has passed, which is eigni weeks ago last Sunday. I have been as well as e\er I w as in my life. 1 have the stpuc securely wrappi d and those who have seen it in this plate au sur prised.

IIki.mrold—Dear Sir: In regard to the qiuvtion asked me as to my opinion about Bu <dui. I would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known to be used, in the various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. on arc aware, as well as myself, that it lias been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, ns before stated, every form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex tracts—and I am not congnizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours, twelve years’ experience ought, 1 think, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par tiality. I give yours precedence over all others. I value your Buchu for its effects on patients. I have cured with it. and seen cured with it. more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured with any other Buenu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name. Respect fully yours, Ac., GEO H KSYSBR, M. I)., August 11, 1803. 140 Wood-Bt., Pittsburg, Penn. A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS’ STANDING. Philadelphia, Penn., June 2fl, 18C7. II. T. Helmhold, Druggist—Dear Sir l have been a sufferer.fur upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time 1 have used various* medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family phyiican in regard to using your Extract lluchu. I did tin* because I had used all kinds <»f adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact. I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients, it was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buenu, cubebs and Juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and w ith in? ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time 1 va« confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, ami alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, ami therefore concluded to defer, and see it it'would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would be of greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected, alter using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in nil respect* as 1 ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic ami invigorator of the system. 1 do not mean to be w ithout it whenever occasion may require its use on such affections. M.
