LECTURES ON AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY: 



By .Alfred L. Ktnnedij, a member of the Philadelphia 

 Jigricultural Society. 



A course of familiar Lectures, illustrated by experi- 

 ments, specimens and diagrams, on those portions of 

 Chemistry, Botany and Geology, which are applicable 

 to agriculture, will be commenced early in November 

 ne.Tt, and continue semi-weekly until the latter part 

 of February. The subjects treated, will be those most 

 interesting and valuable to the praca'ca/ agriculturist ; 

 and to those who are now learning, or about to learn 

 the practice of the farm:— the economy of animal, 

 mineral and vegetable manures, their action on sili- 

 ceous, argillaceous and calcareous soils, analyses of 

 soils, structure of plants, drainage, irrigation, &c. 



Circulars containing a synopsis of the course, time 

 of delivery, terms, &c., may be obtained at this office.

The fourth part of Caiman's .Agricultural Tour is 

 published, and will be forwarded to our subscribers as 

 soon as the numbers are received. We give a graphic 

 and amusing extract from it, describing one of the ac- 

 companiments of the Galway Fair, in Ireland. 



The Lectures advertised by A. L. Kennedy, will af- 

 ford facilities for acquiring a certain kind of valuable 

 information, that has been heretofore hardly offered to 

 farmers of this vicinity, or to young men who would 

 make themselves acquainted with those portions of 

 Chemistry, Botany and Geology, which are every day 

 applicable to agriculture. 



The October number of the Farmers' Library comes 

 to us filled with information which we could wish every 

 farmer would avail himself of. It contains also a beau- 

 tiful, lithographed likeness of Liebig. This will be 

 particularly acceptable to the thousands with whom 

 his name is so familiar. 



The fourth number of the Pevnsylvania Journal of 

 Prison Discipline artd Philanthropy, published from this 

 office, has just made its appearance. Like the num- 

 bers which have preceded it, it is filled with matter 

 highly interesting and important to the philanthropist, 

 and to those who are active in framing, or administer- 

 ing the provisions of the penal code.
