STABLE ECONOMY:— a Treatise on the manage- 

 ment of Horses, in relation to stabling, grooming, feed- 

 ing, watering and working; by John Stewart, Vete- 

 rinary Surgeon, &c., &c., Glasgow. With notes and 

 additions, adapting it to American food and climate, 

 by A. B. Allen, Editor of the American Agriculturist. 

 Published by George S. Appleton, No. 14S Chesnut 

 street, Philadelphia, and D. Appleton & Co., N. York. 



This work, the subject of which is fully indicated by 

 the title given above, is a very comprehensive and in- 

 structive one: and scarcely any person, let him be as 

 well acquainted with the horse as he may, will rise 

 from its perusal without having learned something 

 ■which he did not know before. It may be procured, 

 either of the publishers, or at this office— Price $1. 



The courtesy of the Editors, Dr. E. Emmons and 

 Dr. A. J. Prime, has placed in our hands the first num- 

 ber of the American Quarterbj Journal of Agriculture 

 and Science, to be published by them in Albany, at $3 

 per annum. We announced some lime ago, in the 

 Cabinet, the intended publication of this work, and 

 J have looked for its appearance with considerable in- 

 f terest. Notwith.standing the large number of periodi- 

 cals already in circulation, devoted to the farming in- 

 terests, there is still, perhaps, room for a Quartelly 

 Journal, which should occupy in American Agricul- 

 ture the position which the Edinburgh Review does in 

 English literature. It should be able to give a tone — 

 a wholesome one of course— to what may perhaps be 

 termed the National agriculture, and to hold up more 

 prominently, because in a more extended form than is 

 practicable in our small monthlies, the great leading 

 principles of this most important of human avocations. 

 These principles are as broad in their application as 

 the earth's surface ; and the Editors of the American 

 Quarterly \\i\\, we trust, take a range over this whole 

 ground, and give us — not local details, for these more 

 appropriately belong to the local papers— but those e.x- 

 "^ tended views which can only be grasped and developed 

 S? by the masters of this ineihaustible subject. We wish 

 them all success in their enterprise. 



that well known race, with greater size and, strength. 

 Diligence has been a remarkably successful Stallion; 

 he has been exhibited at the Fairs of the Pennsylvania 

 and New York Agricultural Societies, where he was 

 not entitled to compete for the premiums, but received 

 the highest encomiums from the Committees. At the 

 Fair of the American Institute, in^New York city in 

 October last, he received the Silver Medal of the Insti- 

 tute. , 



It is expected that a large number of the Colts of 

 Dsligcnce will be on the ground on the day of Sale, 

 some of which, no doubt, may be purchased.

The subscriber having relinquished Farming, will 

 offer at Public Vendue, at his Farm in Moorestown 

 Burlington County, N. J., nine miles from Philadel- 

 phia, on Tuesday, the 20th of May next, his entire 

 stock of NORMAN HORSES, consisting of two im- 

 ported Stallions, Diligence and Buonaparte ; two im 

 ported Mares— three full-blooded Stud Colts, one, two 

 and four years old— two full-blooded Fillies, three and 

 four years old— two Fillies by Diligence, from a half- 

 blood Canadian Mare, three and four years old, and 

 one Filley four years old, by Diligence, from a well- 

 bred English Mare, broke and kind to harness. 



The undersigned deems it unnecessary to speak at 

 large of the qualities of these horses, so much having 

 been said of this particular importation— which is be- 

 lieved to be the only one ever made to the United 

 States— in all the principal Agricultural papers. In a 

 few words, they are the Canada Horse, on a larger 

 scale, combining the form, activity and hardihood of

The New York papers contain the advertisement of 

 the Orange County Milk Association, which was formed 

 about a year ago. This is a new enterprise, and has, 

 so far, we believe, been successful. They supply fami- 

 lies at their residences with milk, cream and butter, 

 of good quality, and as they say, at reasonable prices.
