The attention of our readers hasljeen repeatedly callecl to tiie importance of mental improvement. All will readily acknowledge, that it shonld be the constant care of the farmer to improve the soil, but the improvement of the mind,— the matter that should re- ceive the first attention,— is delayed or entirely nepflected. "These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone." Farmers should be improved as well as farms, and tlieir improvement should be attended to £rst, and then the other will be more easily .accomplished. In the agricultural community there seems to be a lack of faith as to the good eirects of reading and study — thoy do not sec the necessity of it — and, contented with their lunited information, there is nothing to stimulate them to make efforts to obtain more knowledge. Give a portion of each day to reading and study — think n(H because you are a farmer, literary acriuiremeuts arc useless. They are as necessary to the full attainment of a knowledge of agriculture, as of any other science. I I Winter. JANTJABT 31 Bays. 5 53 I I The Priucipal Plaucts. lat Janu.irj. Merid- ian.

With energy for prompt and vigorous action, and capacity for sober thought and souad reflection, a man may enter upon business with some assurance of success. His home will exhibit the best picture of his true character. What he undertakes is well done. His fences are in order — there is an air of neat- ness and thrift about his dwelling and out-buildings ; his grounds are laid out with reference to beauty as well as convenience — ornament and use have been consulted in planting out his friiit and shade trees. He does not waste the long winter evenings in idleness, nor do his family neglect this season of improvement. They lay up in winter, from reading, conversation and reflec- tion, a harvest of more value than the bounties of autumn. The mind thus stored, cjsts light upon any vocatior.

This interval of rest will enable the animals to recover some of their fie^h and strength, which have been exhausted in hauling wood and poles ; their old hair becomes loose and falls off, the pores of the skin are opened, and the animals, reinvigorated, are fitted to withstand the heat and burden of the spring's labor. ^.i Spring.

During the latter part of winter and the beginning of spring, stock requires more attention than at any other season. Under the fluctuations from heat to cold, and from fair to ifoul, the appetite of the animal is very irregular. Cattle, sheep, and swine are now bringing forth their young, and unless they are properly sheltered, provided with suitable food, and carefulh' watched and attended, f'ey will certainly fall into bad condition. The best hay should have been reserved for feeding the cows and ewes, at this period, and they should be' fed, besides, with a little grain in some form, and some car- rots, potatoes, turnips, or other vegetables.

The first and .i,'reat roquisite in tlie successful treiitiueut of nuwly transplanted trees, is to keep the surface of the soil, for many feet around them, clean and mellow by cultiva- tion. This is important to all kinds of trees. If trees have been dujj up carefully and with uninjured roots, and then well transplanted, in the first place ; and the soil kept mellow, as already stated, in the second ; they will usually liave made so good a };rowth by midsummer, as to he beyond the danf,'cr of dmajrht. A frreat mistake is often made by watering the roots of newly set trees, before the leaves exjjand, by which they become water-soaked and killed. A leafless tree is in a nearly dormant state, and throws olfbut little moisttirc. But as soon as the leaves expand, they exhale moisture rapidly, and a supply is then needed at the roots. "Waterinj; a feebly growing tree, is at best but a very irregular way of sujiidying it with moisture. A greatly superior i)rotection from mid- summer heat and dryness is mulcliin^s, or covering the'surface of tlie earth for some feet round each tree with hay, straw, or other litter, several inches iu thickness. ■~ I -> I 5/ 39 24 14 9 10 .« I 14 at I 13 liue ))Ut l\ a try lid- lect Baminer.

Slacking out hay and fodder, Ciiudes waste enoush in a few years lo pay for bt;i!dliig good barns, sheda, and shelters for hay and animals. Sheds, high and d ry, closed at the north, east, and west, and open at the south, are beat for sheep, Thi s gives them suiririent air, and is better for their health than close stables. The wors t siorms for sheep are the cold rains with eaalerly winds ; and if they are not shelte red, they are drenched through, and when the weather changes to cold, the wool free! Ees on them ; and if they are in low flesh, death is often the consequence. The advantag es of shelter- iiig animals by stables and sheda, are better understood now than former y; although the old practice still lingers on some farms, w rhere the shivering and bello? ving animals speak for themselves as lo its effects. If the ghosts of animals which hav s died for the want of shelter, could haunt the imaginations of these careless farmers, it might per- haps cause • change in their management. 10 11 12. 131 14 GC 10 17 < 18 19 20 211 G 7 23 3 55 5 9 A. 25 G 5th Sunday after Trinity. 2 3/ ' 6 7 G 21 1 37 9 i^ 6 see.

Art icii's which are of the most yjcrislialile nature should be used first. Bquayhes and pumpkins, when well ripened, ronslilute a nourishing fond for cattle or swine— for the latter it i.s hest to cook them. They should he boiled in as little water as will answer, and when soft, they should he mashed fine, and about one-fourth of their hulk of meal intimately mixed in. This kind of food, with a little skimmed milk or whey, will fat- ten swine very fast; and for two months, or from the middle of Septeniber to the mid- dle of Octoher, we scarcely know a heiier article for feeding stock. The above remarks on feeding with cooked food, refer to swine ; for fattening cattle, it is not certain that the US!) of cooked food would be attended with results auilicientiy advantageous to defray the extra expense.

Piin&iuality in eniragemenls is as necessary to a farmer as lo a mercliant. Every hnshaadman sliould carRfiilly resd and diaesl inaiter connected with ids btisiness. Wlieat, rye, oats and barley, should never follow each other in a course of rotiilion ; there should be an intervening lioe crop between them. Weeds should never be permit- ted to mature their seeds on a farm, but be pulled up or cut down as often as they show themselves, such hoiiig only the true way of eradicating ihem. To insure this result the ground should be planted in corn, and that kept clean. Thorough preparation of land i^ :ioi.:.isary lo the successful and luxuriant growth of crops. Abund.ini crops can- not 00 srrown for a succession of years, unless care he taken lo provide an equivalent for the substances carried otfthe land in the jiroducts grown. ii t: Antumn.

Ai^nculiure is ttie necessary calling of pertiaps t'onr-lit'.hsot' tlie population of every age and country. Food is the first want of man, tlie first object of wise and laborious pursuit. Except in positions peculiarly favorable to conj- merco and raanufvctures, and the ready importation of bread, n'~> coi-nmunity will embark largely in either of these pursuits, while a fertile soil and genial clime invite to agricultural pursuits. An agricultural population is llie main source, whence principally the mechanic arts, the pursuits of commerce and vierchnudize, and the lenrmd professions, draw fresh recruits to fill up the wasting ranks of each. — A striking comment, alike on the sanitary influences )f the one, and the destructive tendencies of the other. !•; i i Winter.

Gentlemen,— Through a friend of yours, lam informed that, by various uses and recommenilutions, I have much increased the sale of your Russia Salve. 1 will frankly confess tha*. until a few months since I was exceedingly prejudiced against tlie article, and believed it all a Humbug. Being at a distance from home, and suffering mm'-h puin from :i breeding sore, I felt obliged to resort to the nearest shop at hand and «et a sanilive of .some kind. The Salve presented itself first, and I ointed the inflamed por- tions freely with it, and the effect was truly wonderful. I have since used it Ireely in my family fur sores, cuts, burns, &c., and have recommended it in vaiious places and to numerous individupls, and ever it has given great satisfaction. 1 noiv consider it invaluable a? a sanilive— every family will do well to keep it on hand— every mechanic should keep it at hand for bruises, cuts, sores, &c. Our mariners, I am confident, would find it a valuable agent to them when removed far away from other healing medi- cines—all should try it as a substitute for the old fashioned poultices, and from my ex- perience ii will reduce inflammation in half the time, and with vasily less trouble, than the poultice can do as usually made and applied. C. Shepard. !D* In no instance will the application of the Russia Salve interfere with the reme- dies administered by regular physicians, but will aid all such as are proper to be ad- ministered.

It is published in one elegant Royal Octavo volume of about 1000 pages, double columns, and contains a | COMPLFTE DICTIONARY OF MUSICAL TKRMS, ' A Ilixtorj of iho Science of MuNic« from the cnrlicNl tiuir to ihv PrcMciilt A Treatise on Harmony and Thorouirh Bass, a description of all known Musical Instruments, with the namesuf the most distinguished makers, and a complete Musical Biography of over three thousand of the most distinguished composers and musicians who have ever lived. Mr. Moore has spent several years in compiling this valuable work. P. S. The above splendid work, which will prove invaluable to every professional musician, and to every amateur, is now ready. It has been delayed on account of the immense labor bestowed upon it, and the difTiculty of stereotyping a work so full of examples. The delay, however, will enhance the value of the work.

Messrs D. Taylor, Jr., & Co., — Dear Sirs, — I received your letter this evening, for tho first time. I have a good many calls for those Pills you gave me when in Boston. You liad hetter send them by express to Lewiston Falls, INIe. 1 now enclose $3, and .'•hall be in your oily in a few weeks and state my case to you in full. Y(tu } cannot recommend those Pills too hi^^hly. I prize them much, and in fact think them to be the best blood purifying medicine that there is in Maine, or ever has been brought before the public. I received benef from them just as you said I would. You told me a good siory about them, which 1 doubted some when I first bought ihcm, but at the same time thought there might be some virtue in them. I was taken down in December last ; my appetite failed me, and I run down as fast as I have come up. I am now able to do a pretty good day's woik. Hoping that others may be benefited as I have been, I remain yours, &c., A. \V. ALLEN. These invaluable Pills have been used with unparalleled success in ' private practice, for more than thirty years, and are now offered to | the public, with the fullest conviction that they will prove themselves | a public benefit. They possess the power of stimulating the dcpurative organs \ throughout the body to a healthy action, thus assisting nature to sub- vert disease after her own manner. Prepared only by D.

We have a great many Agents actively at woik, who clear for themselves from $5 to SS dollars per day. Those most successful, take sample copies of the books, and when they ascertain how many are wanted, order the Books direct from us, and deliver them ?t the time agreed upon. Still, some Agents prefer to order quantities at the start, and sell them from house to house, as they go. There is hardly a family that cannot le induced to buy one or more of the kinds, and we have been informed of instances where a single family has d^^Subscribed for the whole list of Books, .=£XI yielding the agent a very handsome profit.

In the year of our Lord, 1317, in our capacities of analytical chemists, we discovered th il by uniting certain vegetable agants, which had never before been used in medicine, wo obtained properties possessing such a marvelous quick power over pain, i1i;u, the moment it was applied to the parts aOucted with pain, all uneasiness ceased. Tlie most torturing pains were relieved in an instant, and the most violent spasms, and irritations were soothed, and the system restored to porfdCl ease in a few minutes. In 1S49, we introduced this Remedy to the world under the name of RADWAY'S READY RELIEF. It has been used by hundreds of thousands ihrougliout the United States, giving in- stant ease to all troubled with Pain or Sickness. One application externally, or a few drops taken internally, will instantly free the Piiderer from the most violent and terrible pains, and restore tiie weak, feeble, and pros- trated frame to strengtli and vigor. No person has ever used KaDWAY'S READY RELIEF without deriving some special benefit in less than fifteen minutes after its u.«e. Let iho.se who are now suffering any severe pains give it a trial, for in fifteen minutes they will enjoy ease and comfort. RADWAY'S READY RELIEF was the first and is the only Remedy ever discovered that will stop the most torturing pains in a few seconds, and free the system from Rheumatic, Neuralgic, Nervous, and Miasmatic Disorders in a few hours. Jt will cure and protect the system again.st sudden attacks of CHOLERA. DIARRHCEA. BILIOUS CIIOLIC, PNEUMONIA, DYSENTERY, CHOLERA MORBUS, FEVER AND AGUE, INFLUEiNZA. I3ear m mind, it is a Powerful Disinfectant, ant-acid, diffusive slimulenl nervine, anti- spismodic, and counter irritant. The R. R. Remedies are medical discoveries of the present century.

RADWAY'S REGULATORS. THE THIRD GREAT MEDICAL DiSCOVF'iY OF RADWAY & Co. One REGur.ATOR is sufTicient to regulate the Bowels, Liver, and Pancreas, to a healthy discharire of their functions. Two will insure a pleasant discharge from the bowels at a regular period of tmie every day. Four Id .six will purge thoroughly all corrupt and acrimonious humors from the ali- mentary canal. IMPORTANT TO PILL TAKERS. Every one who is in the hahil of lakini? pills will funl Railway's Regulators the most pleasant, safe, and elTectual regulator of the Bowels, Liver, Pancreas, and the most cer- tain PURIFIER OF THE BLOOD in USe, One of Radway's Regulators is superior, in point of medical strength and efficacy, io six of the most popular and best approved cathartic pills. RADWAY'S REGULATORS. Radway's Regulators are most carefully pre[)ared from extracts and gums of trees, plants, roots and herb^. There are no pills in use that will act upon the Liver, Pancreas, Bowels, the Salivary Glands and Nerves, so pleasantly and so effectually as the R. R. Regulators. No pills can be taken for any length of time with the same safety to the constitution; for, instead of debilitating the system by powerful and drastic purging, they act pleasantly upon the bowel and imparl strength to every nerve and tissue of the body. REGULATORS VERSUS PILLS. We are continually asked, Wliat is the difference between i'adway's Regulators and ordinary pills? We answer that pills, as they are ordinarily prepared and sold by different manufac- turers, are generally of two kinds — those which operate on the bowels merely, called purgative piiLs, and those which excite the secretion of the liver, and are called mercu- rial or liver pills. Radway's Regulators resemble pills merely in shape, but dilfer in every other characterislic. They act not only on the bowels, but on the liver, skin, pancreas, ami kidneys, regu- lating each organ loan healthy action. They are not drastic, and never give pain as most purgative pills do ; they stimulate the liver without endangering the patient with salivation, as mercurial pills do ; containing no minerals in their composition, they are harmless when used lor a length of time They are tastele.ss, being enveloped in an elegant coating of gum. 1 to 3 regulates, 3 to purse— good at all times.

The privilege offered to Assurers in the Star Life Office, are liighly advantnfTPous. Ninety per cent, or nine-tenths of the; prolits (ascertained every fifth year,) are allotted to the holders of Pcdicies ; wliich may bo applied in the reduction of the future annu'il premium, or be added to the sum insured, as a bonus. Thirty days are allowed for the payment of the premium from the date of its becoming due. All claims are paid within fifty days of their being allowed by the Board, and disputed claims referred to arbitration. The dividend declared in 1848 was 62 per cent, on the premium paid, the largest bonus ever given by any Company having agencies in this Country. This Society is chiefly but not exclusively devoted to the Assur- ance of the lives of members of the Wesleyan Methodist Societies, J and of the hearers and friends of that connection. Assurances how- ever, have been, and may be effected upon all assurable lives. Noth- ing need be said upon the propriety of persons assuring their lives for ♦he benefit of their families or friends, when so many proofs are fur- nished by the experience of every day life. The advantages of a Respectable Company, with a large Caphal and dividing handsome profits, are too obvious to need any comment. All necessary Blanks and Pamphlets and every information fur- nished gratis, by the Society's Agent or Medical Examiner. R. S. BLACK, M. D., M. G. BLACK, Jr., Medical Examiner, Agent at Halifax, N.
