MR. COLE'S GREAT WORK ON 



THE DISEASES OF ANIMALS, 



OR T II F. AMERICAN VETERINARIAN, 

 30.000 copie« of which have already been sold, and the sale of which 

 continui's in a manner almost without a preci'dent. To every 

 man who owns a horse, a cow, a pig. or even a hea. this work by 

 Mr Cole is of more value th.an ten times its cost. 



The lives of many valuable animals have .already been saved by 

 following Mr Coie's [dain directons for their treatment when sick. 

 This is the cheapest work of the kind ever published, in America, 

 being but at) v^fe^NTS at retail, and we do not beli.-ve that any 

 farmer wouid ivillingly be without it, if placed within his reach.

hlR. VOLE'S OTHER VALU.iBLE WORK, 



THE AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK, 



OK, FRUITS AND FRUIT TREES OF AMERICA, 

 18.00U of which have been published in le.ss than two years. 

 Tliis beautiful and thorough work is illustrated by over 200 cn- 

 graviius. of Vpples, Fears, Peaches, Plums. Cherries, (jrapes, R.asp 

 berries. Gooseljerries, Currents &c., Sic, and tlie various Fruit 

 Trees of our rwu counlry ; iilso, cuts repi-eseuting the v.arious 

 modes of ti-.iining vines, and the different styles of grafting, bud- 

 ding, pruning, &c It is a work which, for accuracy of description 

 and reii.ibiity. has never been exceeded, if equalled, and contains 

 more than twice the amount of matter of any other Fruit Book 

 putilislie I in vmerica at the same price, viz: 50 cent,^. We could 

 fill a voluiufwitli the recommendations of Mr. Colo's two books, 

 which we iiave received from the most eminent Fai'mers aud Hor- 

 ticult.irisLs of New England, the Middle States and the great 

 West, 



A WORD NOW TO AGENTS. 

 We are now prepared to offer to capable, responsible and ener- 

 getic Book \gent3 a chance for making money, such as seldom 

 occurs. VVilh he above five works, an Agent of tact or ability 

 could hai'Uy fall upon a spot so barren that he could not dispose 

 of one or more of these works, aud in many cases would sell one 

 of each ; aud in populous distpicta, a large number of copies 

 could bi' MiU\ daily. We intend to district out the New England 

 States, mostly into counties. Also, the States of New Vork, 



Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and the Western States, we 

 should prefer to dispose of to some one individual in each State, 

 for him to di.strict out into sub-agencies. 



The books will all be ready for delivery by the 1st of .\Tarc!i, 

 and it is important that the various Counties and States should 

 be disposed of befon that time. A cash capital of from $.30 to 

 $50 will be needed by every Agent for a County, and a much 

 larger sum by a State Agent.
