READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONY. Jas. L. Brumley, merchant, 184 Falton street. New York, writes, August 13, 1SG0: "1 have been afflicted with piles, accompanied with bleeding, the last three years; I used darling's LIVER REGULATOR AND . ' LIFE BITTERS, And now consider myself entirely cured." Hon. John A. Cross writes, "Brooklyn, Marck 15th, 1S60. In the spring of 1SS9 I took a severe cold, which induced a violent fever. I took two doses of darling's LIVER REGULATOR, It broke up my cold and fever at once. Previous to this attack-1 had been troubled with dyspepsia severa. mouths; I have felt nothing of it since," Otis Studley, Esq., 123 East 28th Street, New York., writes: 'Anstust 13, 1SG0.

We, who are living on the high prai ries, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, will, no doubt, be always liable to ex tremes in weather, and sudden changes of temperature. This naturally results from our position. We must expect sometimes too much rain, and sometimes too little; sometimes too much hof, dry weather, and sometities too strong r.orth- :t v;r. iry; nr. as is impatient of late frosts or hard winters, that they may be as hardy and stocky as possible. I do not wender at a &orry pioneer's disposition to urge en his trees by all possible means, and get fruit at the earliest mcment, and yet I do not commend the course for those who wish hardy and productive trees. Neither would I advise them to neglect their trees to promote hardiness; but rather that they should be planted on exposed situations, and without stimulant if the "knowledge of .men in other professions; for, judging from what cbseTra-ioni wtj hare been able to make, the farm&n cf Nebraska are quite as learned zs r..... - other professions. Most cf thes? n. came from the plow to Nebraska, L rant of the very rudiments, cf their pr. fession. I3 there a remedy for this state cf things ? If so, what is it ? We thiak there is a remedy, and that remtdy ix with the farmers cf Nebraska. Thero t M- y t . . 1 1 W 2 C " i 5 ' p rerr.-'.-jreiy, and loat.;'.:-;:? a Lori trut in April or May, blasting the projects for fruit that year at least.v We suppose that many, like the writer, were not brought up to this; and yet, if we act the part of intelligent men, we must prepare for these extremes. An eril fairly looked at, is half orercorae. The drouth of '60 taught many a les son. Some who came here in '56 and '57, and paid $1 to $1,50 per bushel for corn, and in '59 just beginning to harvest corn of their own, must take 15 cts. per bushel or nothing, left their corn in the field to be devoured by their cattle at leisure. And who wonders ? And yet these same helped to swell the great exodus Eastward in the summer of '60, or else remained to become the recipi ents of Eastern charity, and eat of im ported corn! Some of us gathered our corn, and finding so little offered for it, let it lay, as scarcely worth marketing When the winter of '60 came, we knew what tee had been saving our corn for I We are of the opinion that if we do have a drouth now and then, our country will average as well as others, and better than many, if not most. Let the years of plenty see the store-houses filled, that the years of scarcity may be provided for. We do not expect another drduth like that in many years, at least ; but let us be prepared. "The wise man foreseeth the 'evil, and hideth himself; but the sirnpla pass on and are punished." - We believe that by suitably guarding agabst ttzs-2. extremes of- ilnuue, and conducting our operations in; view of them, we can raise almost any thing we please. On the other hand, if we labor without the contingency in view, we may sometimes lose our whole season's labor, and seed. Admitting this to be only an occasional contingency, it is worth guard against. But the extremes do come In greater or less proportions every year. They are inherent to this locality ; and the land seems to be fitted to endure them. We have seen in the Eastern States trees die out, root and branch, during the drouth of a few weeks, which here will not even ruin the corn crop. And, besides, we believe an All Wise Providence has not made so beautiful a country as this, with such an evil inher ent, without also giving his intelligent creatures judgment by which they can sufficiently guard against it. .The case of corn has been cited as admitting of relief by "keeping over,' if necessary. The same is equally true of all the cere als, and of well cured grapes. But of potatoes and fruit, this is not true. But fruit may be profitably dried, and should be when so plenty as to be unsaleable. It may then be kept if necessary. And how about potatoes? I have observed this of Kansas: that the heat of midsum mer is frequently prejudicial to their growth. A late planted crop, from June to July, or very early March, has with me been more successful than one planted i -i tf list r.f A nril nr first n? .fsv Uvea i" 'GO, I iiised seme grcd potatoes j cf t;i3 earliest and latest planted, while the intermediate planting failed entirely. We hav$ no fears (judging from, five years experienced here,) that we can not raise our own potatoes every year.' The above is not written to induce farm ers to retain their crops a year before dis posing of them, but only to discourage them from "selling themselves short," before they have a seasonable probability of another plentiful crop. All of us have noticed the scanty im mature vegetation in shallow soils, with hardpan or rock underneath, where the roots were denied the chance of striking downward for aliment. The observance of this fact should teach us especially the necessity of "plowing deep, while others sleep, if we would have corn to cell or keep." Plowing deep is the best safe guard alike against extremes of flood or drouth. We have aho noticed that the fastest growers are neither the hardiest nor the most productive tree ; and 'this should admonish us so to train our ffruit trees, in ihi3 fickle climate, especially such fruit U' stand two years before the ground was again stirred. This seemed like pretty slim treatment, and yet those trees made a moderate healthy growth, and bore sooner than those which were planted under more favorable circumstances. They have borne more heavily, and have made a better start in the spring, than others which were encouraged to grow faster. Shortening in, that is, cutting off the ends of the long shoots in the fall, is a partial preventive to winter killing. But we, will close, for fear of weary ing your patience, as we may sometime wish to be heard again. W. Beckwith. (Hatha, Kansa$, April, 1832. For the Nebraska Farmer. Farming is. OlherProfcssIons. Friend Furnas: If I understand the objects of the Farmer they are to elevate and improve the farming interests of our country, and to make them in the public mind what they are in fact, the most im portant, and the most honorable, and the most useful of all the callings of life, while at the same time they are, or at least should be, as lucrative as other cal lings. Placing this to the credit of the Farmer we welcome its visits as a true friend, and peruse it3 page3 with a deep and heartfelt interest, and always feel a desire to aid, if possible, its worthy ob jects. Will yoa allow ne to make a few remarks ar.i sug2et'c-3 cn subject we have placed at th? heal cf ;L.j mi- j cle. . i I do not wish to underrate the "Icrn- ed professions," so called, nor depreci ate any honorable calling. They are all important in their places and help to make up the sum total of a nation's pros perity ; nor -would I array them against each other. The true philosophy we should study end practice, to assign to each its appropriate sphere of action, and protect each from the aggressions sought to be made upon it by others. It must be manifest on the slightest observation, that there is' a striking disproportion between the prices of the labors and products of the farmer and those of other men, and that if this dis proportion continues long it must great ly cripple if not entirely ruin the farm ing interests of our country. If the far mer calls on the lawyer for counsel the latter magnifies himself into undue pro portions, and demands at least S25 to at tend to his case. But if the lawyer re ceive the same amount of service iom the farmer he would not be willing to pay him more than 25 cents. Two months of hard labor would be required to pay the bill. If a doctor is called to visit a patient he must have 50 cents a mile for his ride, 81,00 a visit, and high prices for his medicines and prescription besides. If the farmer performs the .same amount of labor for the physician, he could not et 10 per cent on the doctor's charges. If the farmer calls on the mechanic fcr repairs on hi? wp.Cl cn plow, h2 is met with a similar disproportion ia prices. It will take days cf hard labor tD foct the mechanic's bill, made perhaps in a single hour. And so great i3 the dis proportion between the prices of the pro duce of the farm and the articles of mer chandise he is obliged to purchase, that a hundred bushels of com will scarcely pay for a pair of boot3. Under this state it things it would seem impossible that our farming inter ests should prosper. The farmer cannot ever raise to independence with this state of things. He must tax his energies to the utmost for a bare subsistence, and, sooner or later, break up in despair. The privations and sacrifices cf settling a new country are sufficient for the strong est minds, without this ruinous dispropor tion in prices. These facts stare the farmers of Nebraska in the face, and are throwing the shades of despair over many a stout heart. It is useless for us to complain, and we do not stop now to inquire into the causes of this inequality in prices. It cannot be in the superior give to our swindlers a trtiUiiu-; ...... Jotcn. We can well afford, uder tha circumstances, to dispense with the doc tors. Attendance to the lav3cf life and health, a little rest and careful nursiag in times cf illness, are better in all or dinary cases than all their medicine ; and the knowledge and skill cf an eld lady, who has had the care cf a family, ia quite equal if not juparior to theirs. I a short, be your own doctor and save your doctor bills. And a peaceable and quiet life and attention to your own business will release you from the lawyers fees. Ordinary skill reduced to practice will enable you to repair most cf your farm ing utensils. We can afford to dispense with coffee, tea and sugar, rum, tobacco and whiskey. Dress io homespun, and live on what we can produce, till we can command the price of our own earnings. The absence of demand will seen work a modification of the ruinous prices wa now pay, and give to our farming irtte-. rest their proper position and remunera tive prices. Jcsticx. Table Rock, March, 1562.. . Osier Willow Hedges. D. L. HoLsrr, of victory, N. Y., has paid more attention to cultivating Osier Willow Hedges, than almost any ether man, perhaps, writes as follows to tho Country Gentleman ; First set in earl spring a singla row of good fresh and large cuttings push into well prepared roll, r?rr;3 irly, thirty-thre 3 to t!'.3 r ',1 .17 .ut two inches alive the sir:'. 1 . , -' . ' t i t . . i : : -1 r -: ; it : : ,.1 r -.. , . i v v .... - . , have the hedge straight. Keep down all weeds and gras3. The willow, if set early on good soil, will cake a growth of four feet the first summer. Cut off close to the ground the tec ond spring. Hoe once if iredi ap pear, and you will have a growth, densa and pretty, eight feet high the second fall. Form into a hedge. by driving. -aline through tho centre three cr four' feet high ; cut off the rod3 that touch the line evenly on top by the-- line; these form living stakes or standards, and should be about threo or four in ches apart, through which the uncut willow i3 interlaced according to fancy, finishing up with a sort of rope-jiko binding on top. The hedge is now complete, with'tho exception of covering it with thorn?. This i3 done by cutting off. the 0-iier3 . slanting, r.ith a pruning knife. ' Each stub left thu3 cut make3 a good sharp thorn. My first twenty rods of hedga aa cut at three feet from the surface. Wishing to increase it3 height, I pro ceeded as follows cut the Osiers at two inches above the original top bifwl ing,leaving one standing at every threg inches in a straight line, the hola length of the hedge ; then commence with the first Osier, passing it bck around the cedar stake at the endof the hedge, bringing it forward and passing it on the right of thV fir3t standing Osier, and to the leftof tho next, fir.-l goprccod the ler"fh of thf3 Osier, T,.!.f:h in r . no wt. ivcrago cf a'-c - t Sva f ' t. :-.

Why ? First, because it bears anv amount of feezing without injury, and it ia not injured by field mice or rabbits. It looks very pretty, cost3 but little. One hedge furnishes the material ready for the next. It makes a paying fence. Each rod threo years old will furnish material sucier. t for four corn baskets cf two. bushsb each, without injury to itself, but bo improved by the additional thorns pro duced by cutting off the 03iers. There fore Hike it because its general intro duction will be of large benefit to thi country, multiplying heme comfort? and stopping the importation of for eign Osiers. I like them becaua T liko to see the children happy, and wnat mazes Better snort for them lr'm to harness Fido and hitch him leforo thelites vrillow wagon.
