the cows I put into the yard, which was only 
luplishcd with difficulty, and I found 10 or 13 
. ■. ., of the besl Swiss breed, in this same con- 
dition, drinking water after eating the clover. My 
water bath was at once resorted to. Everybody, 
including the lady guests, went to work with a will, 
pumping and carrying water. I emptied it, a bucket 
at tin- tine, over the backs of the cows, put some 
garlick into their throats, and in about hair an 
hour had the satisfaction of seeing all the animals 
relieved. This is a cheap remedy, that is available 
.,n every farm. It was published in several German 
, ricultural papers, and I had the satisfaction of 
hearing, that whenever it was resorted to in time, 
it cured the affected animals." 
Emigration to Delaware. 
— • — 
Editor) a/ the American Agriculturist : 
The emigration enterprise, inaugurated a year ago un- 
der the auspices of the Delaware Improvement Associa- 
tion, is still progressing. The northern colonies are 
tin King and call for the land Is constantly increasing. 
Among the incentives arc cheap land, rapidly rising in 
value, and profitable productions. Cultivated farms can 
be bought for fifteen to thirty dollars per acre, within 
n, miles from railroad depot, and eighty from Phila- 
delphia. The sweet potato, melon, dwarf pear, grape, 
berries and other fine fruits and vegetables are very prof- 
itable. But the most profitable production Is the peach, 
soil and climate being peculiarly favorable, and trees 
yielding a hundred dollars per acre annually for twenty 
years ; so lhat it has become the principal peach section, 
and one of the cries of Philadelphia and New York now 
is. •• Delaware peaches !" This year's crop, like the last, 
is good, and will stimulate cultivation, while the increase 
of peach canning will be a security against glut of mar- 
ket. We advise visitors to go now, in peach-time, both 
to taste the luscious fruit fresh from the tree and to see 
how large fortunes are easily accumulated by it. 
But we wish settlers who are not attracted entirely 
or mainly by appetite or greed of gain. The enterprise 
Is intended to be a Christian one. And there is being or- 
ganized a Christian Emigration Union, which will facili- 
tate the establishment of churches and public schools on 
free principles, as the great regenerating element of 
the world. The northern population already introduced 
into Delaware will greatly advance the best interests of 
the State, and the movement is highly appreciated by its 
best citizens. Visitors may get a reduction of fare from 
President Felton at Philadelphia depot, on the day pre- 
lious to starting on the Delaware train at 8 a. m.; and they 
will receive courteous attentions by calling on Messrs. 
Osmond & Bryant, Canterbury, Del., and A. T. Johnson, 
Milford, Del., etc. Yours, L. C. Loc.kwood. 
[Explanation. The plan of the association we under- 
stand to be this : Farmers are solicited to fix a price at 
which they will sell a given farm, or plot of land, within 
a certain time. This is fixed in writing. The associa- 
tion then shows to visitors a list of these, and he can visit, 
and select if he desires. No charge is made ; the ex- 
penses of advertising, and lime of agents, etc.. are sup- 
plied by voluntary contributions from those interested in 
improving the Slate by introducing enterprising men. 
Of course, each member of the association is interested 
in showing up the superior advantages of his own locality. 
The enterprise seems to be a very good one.— Eds.]

II. s m LOAN. 
The Secretary <>i the Treasury uives notice that «nb- 
lortytloiifl wilt bfl received for Coupon Treasury Nott 
payable three years from ahr. 16th, IfflM, «lili Boml-ryv 
nual Interest nt the rate "i seve^n Ind three-tentlH prr 
cent. i>ir annum,— principal and Ihferest both u* be p ild 
in inwfiii monej . 
TIh-m' in >!«■'. win be convertible ut the option of the 
holder ;it maturity, into six per rent. m>Ul Item ini; bondg 
payable wot less than five nor more than twenty, yean 
from their date, as the Government rriny elect, TI105 
will be Issued In deriomInatl6n"3 of $50/, $100, $500, $1,000 
and $5,ooo, and all BUbscrtpttofflfl must be for fifty dollars 
o\- some multiple of fifty dollars. 
The note* will be transmitted to the owners free o( 
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the 
original Certificates of Deposit as they can he prepared. 
As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons 
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay the 
interest accrued from date of note to dale of deposit. 
Parties depositing twenty five thousand dollars and 
upwards for these notes at any one time will be allowed 
a commission of one-quarter of one per cent., Which 
will be paid by the Treasury Department upon the re- 
ceipt of a bill for the amount, certified to by the officer 
with whom the deposit was made. No deductions for 
commissions must be made from the deposits. 
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOAN, 
It is a National Savings Bank, offering a higher rate 
of interest than any other, and the best security. Any 
savings bank which pays ils depositors in U. S. Notes 
considers that is paving in the best circulating me- 
dium of the country, ;ind it cannot pay in anything bet- 
ter, for its own assets are either in government securi- 
ties or in notes or bomis payable in government paper. 
It is equally convenient as a temporary or permanent 
investment. The notes can always be sold for within a 
fraction of their face and accumulated interest, and are 
the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts. 
Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Gold Bond. 
In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes 
for three years, this privilege of conversion is now worth 
about three per cent, per annum, for the current rate for 
5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent, premium, 
and before the war the premium on six per cent. 
U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be 
seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the present 
market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per annum. 
Its Exemption from State and Municipal Taxation. 
But aside from all the advantages we have enumerated, 
a special Act of Congress exempts all bonds and Treasury 
notes from local taxation. On the average, this ex- 
emption is worth about t-.vo per cent, per annum, accord- 
ing to the rate of taxation in various parts of the country. 
It is belie-ved that no securities offer so great induce- 
ments to lenders as those issued by the government. 
In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability 
of private parties, or stock companies, or separate com- 
munities, only, is pledged for payment, while the whole 
property of the country is held to secure the discharge 
of all the obligations of the United States. 
While the government offers the most liberal terms 
for its loans, it believes that the very strongest appeal 
will be to the loyally and patriotism of the people. 
Duplicate certificates will be issued (or all deposits. 
The party depositing must endorse upon the original 
certificate the denomination of notes requited, and 
whether they are to be issued in blank or payable to or- 
der. When so endorsed it must be left with the 
officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded to the 
Treasury Department. 
Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer 
of the United States, at Washington, the several Assist- 
1 id designated Deposltnrh -. ind by all 
National Bnnl widen Dsllarlci of public mi
