Jbpartincnt.SICKS OF A HORSE'S TEMPER? THE EAR. ?
The size, position and motion of the ears of ahorse are iraporlantpttints. Those rather smallthan large, placed not too far apart, ereet, andquiet in motion, indicate both breeding andspirit ; and if a horse is in the frequent habitof carry ing me ear forward aud the other i a k-ward. and especially if he do'-sso on a journey,bo wih generally pos.-css both /pint and endu-rance. The stretching of the oars in contrarydirections show that he is attentive to every-1thing that is pasiiug around him, and while he-is doing this he canr.ot be much fatigued, nor ;Lkely soon to become no.
It has been remarked, that few horses sleepv itbout pointing one car forward and one back-ward iu order that they may receive notice ofthe approach of any objects in any direction.When horses or nu.dc-a march in company atnight, tliose iu front direct their ear forward ;and thoaa in the middle of the traiu turu thornlaterally, thus seeming to be actuated byone feeling, which watches their general jsafety.
The car of the horse is one of the mostbeautiful parts about him, HUD by this is thetemper more safely indicated. The ear is more :intelligible even than the eye ; and a person iaccustomed to the horse, can toll, by the ex- >presaive motion of the organ, almost all that jl;e thinks or means. When a horse lays his jears Oat bach on his neck, he mot assuredly jmeans mi.-chief, and bystanders should beware !of his her is or feet. In play the ears will be j1 lid back, bat, not so decidedly nor so long.? 'A quirk change in their position, aud more i
particularly the expression of the eye at thetime willdistinguish between playfulness aud |% ice.
Tite hearing of the horoh is remarkably acute. !A thousand vibrations of the air, too slight to jmake iraprcssiou iu the human car, are readily 'perceived by Lim. It is a well known to every 'hunting man, that the cry of hounds will be jrecognized by the horse, and his ears will be !erect, and he will be all spirit, and impatience,a considerable time before the rider is conscious ;of the least sound. ? The Horse atul the Rider, j
PREPARE BONES FOR MANURE.?Let a barrel Jor hogshead be set in some convenient place, Iwherein all the bones usually scattered from !the kitchen may be collected. This will save ;the farmer's back yard from one source ofoffouco, and his promises from the annoyance iof prowling curs, if no more. Put in first a ilayer of ashes, and then spread on the bones j?tho more evenly the better?then add more Ia ales, aud sufficient water to keep them well imoistened, but not so as to leaeh. Continue jthe addition of bones, keeping on sufficient iashes to cover them, and generally before the :barrel is full those at the bottom will become ,a so ft paste-iikomass, readily cut with a shovel, !and then should be mixed with ashes. Tiie jwhole forms an excellent application to almostany ci op, either of the held or garden. We !have tried it upon the latter with the best Ieffect, especially upon cabbages, turnips, beansand various vines.
Such a preparation of bones have been aj> ;plied to corn in the hill, at the rate of half apint to each, and produced a greater product ithan half that quantity of guano applied atthe same time for the purpose of comparison. !It has been used year after year, upon the same !held and always with the best success?each icrop seeming better than the last. We hope jtbtse remarks willset our economical people towork, for if this bo done manure, compared Iv illi guano, is worth $3O per ton, it is willwellworth saving?and the thousands of scattered ?and wasted sources of fertility may better beemployed than to go to Peru for an article farless profitable, considering co3t and result.?Rural New Yorker.
APH.ES FOR STOCK. ?We have a mine ofwealth scarcely opened in fruit and fruit grow-ing. The cultivation of apples particularlyv:il yet prove to be the strong point of Arneri- |can farming. What the root"crop is to Great!Britain, apples are to America ! Our dry sea- isew, while they ar" greatly prejudicial to root 1husbandry, admit of a fine growth of fruit.? iI have seen statements which go to show that !onr good varieties of apples are superior to iturnips in their nutritive qualities, and quite !equal to potatoes and other popular roots.? IMben I commenced raising Durham calves, Ifeed them on about the usual allowance of milk,and added after a little moderate quantity ofapples, which 1 continued through the winter.In the spring a cattle buyer of extensivepractice declared my calves the best he hadeeen. They owed their excellence to apples.
Though I had, perhaps, as much orcharding !as any man in my town, I have just set out j1,000 additional trees, and at my earliest con- jvcnience I intend to doable the dose. 1f apples |willsell, say for 25 cents per bushel, they are Imore profitable for market than anything Icanraise, aud if they won't sell sell for as much asthat, they afford cheaper and better nutriment Ifor man and beast than we can get in any other 'way. I have never found anything in the way |of domestic stock but what will eat them, and JIf I should find such a reprobate, 1 would not jkeep it an hour.
Some sort of succulent food i 3 required by iall animals, aud apples in this country are justadapted to that necessity.? Mr. Greek's Ad-dress.
DWARF PEAR TREES.?Drarf pearson quincesstocks are not only beautiful objects, but beart.i lier out! more freely and certain, and producelarger and finer fruit than those grown on freestocks. They are also, by their small jieightand size, better adapted to gardens and restrict-ed grounds, easier managed, giving greater jroom for variety, as well as presenting fruit!easy of access, and secure from high winds, {often very injurious to standard trees. The ,pyramidiai form of training is the most beanti- jful, takes up the least room, aud gives the best jfrnit. No garden should be without its dwarfpear trees, at once so productive and orna-mental.

CANADA THISTLES CHANGING TO CHE3S. ?A 1correspondent in a late number of the Michigan ;Farmer, gives a elatemeut of the successful jdestruction of a patch of Canada thistles, by 'repeated plowing through summer?a mode that jha 3 often before proved successful. But the Iwhole field being sown with wheat, the exact Jportion on which the thistles were killed, wascovered with nothing bnt chess. He thinks thethe wheat changed to chess, but we are rather |uieliued to think the injured thistle roots musthave been the progenitors, on the principle that ja weed will joe more likely to produce another jbad one. Should we expect to gather grape 9of thorns, fig 3 of thistles, or inverselv, chessrorn good grain ? We at least commend this
t0 friend?- Country

AYER'S PIUS.A M) CHERRY PECTORAL.?The fol-
Ji JL lowingremedies are offered to the publicas the best,most perfect, which medical science OHU afford. AYEK'SCATHABTICPILL* have Leon prepared with the utmostskill which the medical profession of this age possesses,
, and their effects show they have virtues which surpassany combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre-parations do 'more or les good : but this cures such dan-gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove anefficacy and a power to uproot disease beyond any thingwhich men have known before. By removing the obstruc-tions of the internal organs and stimulating them intohealthy action, they renovate the fountains of life andvigor?health courses anew through the body, and thesick man is well again. They are adapted to disease, anddisease only, for when taken by one in health they pro-duce but little effect. Thi- is the perfection of medicine.It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender chil-dren may take them with impun ty. Ifthev are sick theywill cure them, if they are well they will do them noharm.
(live them to some patient who has l>oen prostrated withbilious complaint; see his bent-up, tottering form straight-en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return ;
see bis clammy features blossom into health. Give themto some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out in scrofulatill his skin is covered with sores ; who stands, or sits, or
lies in anguish. He has been drenched inside and out withexery every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Givehim 'these Pills, and mark t'ue effect; see the scabs fallfrom his body : see the new, fair skin that has grown un-der them ; see the late leper that is clean. Give them to
! him whose angry humors have planted rheumatism in his| joints and bones'; move him, and he screeches with pain ;I he too has been soaked through every muscle of his bodywith linaments and salves ; give him these Pills to purifyhis blood ; they may not cure him, for olas ! there case'swhich no mortal power can reach ; but mark, he walkswith crutches now, and now he walkes alone ; they havecured him. Give them to the lean, soar,haggard dyspep-tic, whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten everysmile from his face and every muscle from his body- Seehis appetite return, and with it his health ; see the newman. See her that was radiant with health and lovelinessblasted and too early withering aw av ; waut of exercise,or mental anguish, or some lurking disease has derangedthe internal organs of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,her health is gone. Give her these Pills to stimulate thevital principle iuto renewed vigor, to east out the obstruc-tions, and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now lookagain?the roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrowsat. joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet infantwasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell youwithout disguise, anil painfully distfuct, that they are eat-ing its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, and rest-less sleeping.*, tell the dreadful truth in language whichevery neither knows. Give it the Pills in large doses tosweep these vile parasites from the body. Now turn againand see the ruddy bloom of childhood. Is it nothing todo these things ? Nay, are they not the marvel of thisage ? And yet they arc done around you every day.
Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers,they are the easier cured. .Jaundice, Costivcncss, Head-ache, Sideache, Heartburn, Foul Stomach, Nausea, Painin the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, King's Evil,Neuralgia, Gout, and kindred comploints all arise from thederangements which these Pills rapidly cure. Take themperseveringly, and under the counsel of a good Physicianifyou can ; if not, take them judiciously by such adviceas we give you, and the distressing, dangerous diseasesthey cure, which afflict so many millions of the human race,are cast out like the devils of old?they must burrow inthe brutes and in the sea. Price 25 cents per box?s boxesfor $l.
Through a trial of many years and through every nationI of civilized me, AYER'S CUKKKV PECTORAL has been found? to afford more relief aud to cure more cases of pulmonary
disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Casesof apparently settled Consumption have liceu cured by it,and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond thereach of human aid have been restored to their friends andusefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, bythis all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs andthroat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry,hacking cough, the glassy eye, and the pale, thin featuresof him who was lately lusty and strong whisper to all buthim CONSUMPTION. lie tries everything ; but the diseaseis gnawing at his vitals, and shows its fatal symptomsmore and more over all his lame. He is taking the Cher-ry Pectoral now : it lias stopped his cough and mado liisbreathing easy : his sleep is sound at night: his appetitereturns, and with it his strength. Tliednrt which pierced

DR. HALSEYS' FOREST WINE ?Thediscovery ol the FOREST WINE i< the greatest bles-
sing of the age. Put up in Quart Bottles, a single bottle iof which does more good, and goes further in the cure ofDisease, than tan bottles of any Sarsapariila in use, and jwarranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening jeffect.
The method by which all Sarssaparillas, and other simf- ;lar medicines are prepared, isby boiling the Roots of plants jto obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus ;principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20 1bottles of these Sarapari!l is are sometimes taken with utany perceptible benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.By the invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per-fect wine is produced without beating; retaining, nt thesame time, all the primitive healing properties of the raremedicinal plants of which it is composed, thus rendering ,the Forest Wine the most efficient medicine the world ever jproduced, at the same time t ; me the most agreeable.
TESTIMONY.This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Halsey's Forest j
Wine in my family with the most entire success. Mywife Iwas badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine :and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re- ilief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest iWine.
From my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I |?confidently recommend it for the good of others who may
be suffering from similar complaints. It is the best medi-cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic-ted with the above, or any similar disease, niav safelv re-ly on its virtues. E. G. MUSSEY.
MOKE TESTIMONY FROM CO HOES.DR. G. W., H AJ.SEY ?Dear Sir: Mywife last autumn was
reduced to a low state of Debility. My family physicianadvised her to take your Forest Wine. Accordingly 1went to Mr. Terry's, your agent in this town, and procur-ed a bottle of it, which restored her in a very short timeto perfect health.
Cohoes, April 13, 1850. HENRY DONALDSON.DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.DR. HAI.SEY: Hempstead, Dec. 1. 1847.
A bottle of your Forest Wiue and box of Pills, whichI procured of James Carr. (your agent for this place.) hasdone wonders for me. I had been "in a state of decline formore than a year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, painin the breast, general debility, and loss of appetite. 1 be-came almost a skeleton, and "had been unable to leave my
room for more than two months; my friends told me 1had the Consumption and despaired of my recovery. Icould not obtain any permanent relief from any medicineI had taken, or my physician, until your Wine and Pillswere procured. The first dose of the Pills brought up frommy stamacli, much phlem and greenish matter, and mystools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced takingyour Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite began toreturn immediately, my cough left me, and in less thantwo weeks I was almost well. I now enjoy better healththan I ever did before, having increa-.ed twenty-five poundsin seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are highlyvalued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely totheir virtues. Yours, respectfully,
