Vol. IX. 



Every Man his own Farrier: — containing tlie 

 causes, symptoms, and most approred methods of cure 

 of the diseases of Horses; by Francis Clater, with 

 notes and additions by J. S. Skinner. 



This worl?, which has passed through twenty-eight 

 editions in England, has just been issued from the 

 press of Lea & Blanchard, of this city. While the ex 

 cellent worlt of Yooatt and Skinner on the Horse, 

 which is much more historical and elaborate than this, 

 should be on the shelf of every person who owns one 

 of these noble animals, the Farrier should be found 

 for daily reference in every stable, along with the curry 

 comb and the brush. It may be obtained at this office, 

 price 50 cents. 



5lJ- SHORT ADVERTISEMENTS, 43 



The subject matter of which, may correspond with the 

 agricultural character of this paper, will be inserted 

 at the rate of one dollar for each insertion often lines 

 or less; and so in proportion for each additional line. 

 Payment in advance. 



A PACKAGE of seeds— wheats and corn — is acknow 

 ledged from the Patent Office, Washington. They will 

 be carefully distributed. 



The first number of the Western Reserve Magazine 

 of Agriculture and Horticulture, edited by F. R. Elli 

 OTT, and published monthly in neat form, at Cleve- 

 land, Ohio, has been received. Considerable of the 

 number is devoted to matters connected with the 

 growing of fruits, and promises to be useful to our 

 Western friends. We wish it success. 



Odr enterprising friend Hugh H. Bate, formerly of 

 New Jersey, now of Portsmouth, Va., in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Norfolk, was in our market on the 1st 

 inst., with his fine well filled peas, at 37J cents a half 

 peck. The facilities of transportation enable the 

 markets in this city, to anticipate by a fortnight at 

 least, the early vegetable productions of our own vi- 

 cinity. 



The extensive sale of Improved Short-horned Dur- 

 hams, advertised by E. P. Prentice, in the neighbour- 

 hood of Albany, on the 25th of next month, will not 

 fail to draw the attention of cattle breeders. The 

 owner, long known as an importer and breeder, boldly 

 offers the whole of his stock for what it will bring, 

 reserving only to himself the privilege of bidding 

 openly on three or four animals, which shall first be 

 designated. Persons who have contemplated sending 

 to England for stock of this kind, will, in all probabil- 

 ity, be equally well suited at this sale, as if they were 

 their own importers, and at lower prices. 



Georok S. Appleton, of this city, and D. Appleton, 

 of New York, have lately published in a neat duode- 

 cimo, price one dollar, the Farmer's and Emigrant's 

 Hand Book: being a full and complete Guide for the 

 Fanner and the Emigrant. Comprising the clearing 

 of forest and prairie land — gardening — farming gene- 

 rally—farriery—cookery—and the prevention and cure 



of diseases; with copious hints, recipes and tables, by 

 Josiah T. Marshall. 



As the title imports, the subjects treated of are va- 

 rious, and of very general interest, not only to the 

 emigrant, but to tliose also who are stationary on 

 farms in our own vicinity.

 of the Philadelphia Society for the Alleviation of the
