 which may be the means of saving the hie of many valu- 

 able animals, and from which he may derive a vast amount 

 of ihe most valuable information in regard to the Train- 

 ing and Breeding of Animals, as well as lull Rules for Re- 

 storing and Preserving Health. 



16,000 Copies 



of this valuable work have been sold in One Year, — 

 and we have testimonials enough in its favor, from those 

 who have purchased and examined it, to till a volume. 

 We publish a lew only : 



"No Farmer's Library is complete without Mr. Cole's 

 Treatise on the Diseases of Domestic Animals." 



From William Bacon, Richmond. 



This book is just what we farmers want. The pre- 

 scriptions are simple, always accessible, and harmless to 

 the constitution. 



From ihe Christian Herald, JVeichuryport. 

 It is truly " a book lor every firmer." We have been 

 most astonished at the amount of important information 

 and instruction which it contains, on the training, breed- 

 ing, and diseases of domestic animals. It is compiled by 

 one of the best agricultural writers in the country, from 

 his own experience and observation, as a practical farmer 

 and conductor of agricultural pipers. 



From Wright's Paper, Philadelphia. 

 " Cole's American Veterinarian " is an invaluable book. 

 It is worth its weight in gold to any person having the 

 care or charge of domestic animals. An agricultural 

 friend, to whom we gave a copy, observed, that it would 

 save him a hundred dollars a year. 



From the American Agriculturist. 

 The farmer will find much valuable information in this 

 little work. By reference to its directions, they may be 

 able to save a valuable animal, which otherwise might 

 be lost. 



Fr: -i J.M. Weeks, Vermont. 



American Veterinarian is the best book of the 

 kind that I have ever seen. 



From Levi Bnrlhlt, JVeiv Hampshire. 

 This book should he in the library of every farmer. 



From the Visitor, by Gov. Hill, AT. H.

 Boston Cultivator. and other kindred works. Mr, Cole lias

 Suggestions to Farmers. 



I sometimes fancy to myself, wln-n I hear per- 

 sons who live on the rich and fertile prairies of 

 the west, praise Ihe luxuriance of their soil, and 

 boast of the bountiful crops they yield with little 

 labor, that they ought to be regarded somewhat 

 as we now look upon those early seniors in the 

 Mohawk valley, who, it is said, were in the habit 

 of carting the manure made upon their lands to 

 the river, and throwing it in, for fear, that should 

 it remain, their lands would become too rich. 



In their wisdi supposing their lands could 



never he exhausted, they continued to plough 

 the same fields, until at last" a change came 

 o'er the spirit of their dreams," and they found 

 to their cost, that the lands they supposed inex- 

 haustibly fertile, had become sterile and unpro- 

 ductive; and such 1 think will be the result of 

 the present system of cultivation pursued by our 

 western friends. Chemistry shows us that by 

 taking a succession of crops ofi' from the same 

 ground one year after another, without any re- 

 turn to it, the inevitable effect muss he ultimate- 

 ly, that it will lose its fertility. The lauds of oui 

 county, especially the richer portions of it, havi 

 quite too commonly met with this usage. A few 



years since it was not (infrequently remarked by 

 our farmers, that they formerly received good 

 crops from particular portions of their lands, but 

 that then they could not get crops from the same 

 ground that would pay the trouble of cultivation. 

 Something, they said, iiiust be wanting in the 

 soil, but what they did not know. Chemistry 

 has solved this problem, and it is now beginning 

 lo be understood by them, that their soil must be 

 fed with proper food as well as their cattle if 

 they would have it productive; and that true 

 economy consist in highly cultivatiug smaller 

 quantities of land, by deep ploughing and manur- 

 ing, rather than running over a large quantity of 

 land with slight tillage. 



" A little farm well tilled. Alarge barn well filled. 



A little wife well willed. Give me, give me." 



This lesson is one our fartiers have been slow 

 to learn. While it has been their practice in 

 cultivating their gardens to resort to thorough 

 tillage, and, as a consequence, they produce more 

 from them than from any oner equal portion of 

 their land; in ihe raising of field crops the hint 

 thus given them has been entirely neglected. It 

 is supposed that the fruit and kitchen gardens in 

 ihe vicinity of the city of London, occupy 20,- 

 000 acres of land, and that the produce of this 

 land is sold for over 67,1)00,000, while in the 

 most favored portions of farming lands in our 

 own country, $500,000 would generally be con- 

 sidered a good product l\>r the same quantity of 

 land. Knowledge and experience will in time 

 correct the errors into which our funnel's have 

 fallen in regard to cultivating their lands, and 

 even now I think I see a bright prospect for the 

 future, in the formation of agricultural associa- 

 tions, in the circulation of agricultural papers, 

 and other periodicals ; in the improvement of the 

 farm stock ; in the improved tillage and drainage 

 of hinds; and above all, in ihe increased atten- 

 tion given to the savins and use of manures. — 

 When these come to be well understood and 

 practiced, we may confidently expect to see 

 farms of 40 and 60 acres producing more, and 

 returning a better anil more certain profit to the 

 farmer, than farms now do which contain many 

 additional acres. i Infipa.

Scours in Swine. — It is frequently remarked 

 that it is useless to attempt to cure sick bogs, 

 and to the prevalence of this opinion is to be 

 attributed in a great degree no doubt, that want 

 of effort which results in the loss of so many of 

 these valuable domestic animals. In June fast, 

 I observed ihat one of my hogs manifested an 

 indisposition to eat. I paid not much attention 

 to him for a few days, when again noticing him, 

 Isa.vthat he had (ailed in flesh considerably. 

 He was then put in a pen by himself, and I soon 

 found that he laid the scours very badly. His 

 appetite decreased to such a degree, that a gill 

 of corn was more than he would eat in a day, 

 while the complaint continued to increase. 1 

 tried different remedies without effect, when, as 

 a last resort, I had recourse to the Cultivator for 

 information. Among various cures for this com- 

 plaint in calves, (I saw none for swine) I noticed 

 that calomel had been given with good effect. I 

 procured about 30 grains, which quantity was 

 given in two doses in the course of it day. He 

 soon manifested favorable symptoms, and show- 

 ed a disposition for food. He was led with sweet 

 milk, boiled and thickened with flour, until 

 cuered. I would say in conclusion, that 1 think the 

 information I got from the Cultivator, in this 

 one case, saved i lie more than its cost for a dozen 

 years at least; and as a testimony of the regard 

 I have for your paper, I send you the price of 

 eighteen copies for the present vear — most of 

 which are for new subscribers. A. D.
