 us tlie following: 



" Take a pint or more water, and salt enough to make a 

 very strong brine; then wash eaeh side of the back bone 

 just in front of the hip, say over the kidneys; the animal 

 will be relieved in a few minutes. I have seen a horse so 

 bad that 1 thought it would never get up again, and in fif- 

 teen minutes after using the brine it was ready for [dew- 

 ing again. I first heard it must be whiskey and salt, but 

 I have never seen anything but water and salt used.

The Genesee Farmer. — This able and interesting 

 monthly journal of agriculture and horticulture has now 

 reached \H fifteenth volume (second series), which, we may 

 add, indicates a degree of prosperity that has been attain- 

 ed by no other publication devoted to like objects in this 

 country. We remember to have seen it welcomed and 

 read in one family, at least, from the time we were a school 

 boy; and although many other papers have flourished and 

 passed away since then, we can still hail the monthly re- 

 turn of thatold friend "The Genesee Farmer," whence 

 we derived our first notions on the subject of Scientific 

 Agriculture. It is one of the really valuable publications 

 of the day, and ought to be in the hands of every farmer 

 and horticulturist, who, for a trifling expenditure, desires 

 to reap an hun Ired fold in useful and valuable information. 



We recommend this journal as the cheapest and one of 

 the best in the country on the subject to which it relates.

The friends of Agriculture ii a'l the States of the Amer- 

 ican Union, and in the neighboring provinces of Canada, 

 arc invited to co-operate with us, so that this F.xhibition 

 may be the more extensively useful, and be alike credita- 

 ble to the generous citizens of Springfield, with whom it 

 originated, — to the contributors and visitors, who sustain 

 it, — and to the United States Agricidtural Society, who are 

 so deeply interested in its success. 



In consequence of the holding of this Show of Cattle, 

 the contemplated Exhibition of Horses, at Springfield, 

 Mass., and the Show of Sheep, in Vermont, will be omitted. 



The Journal of the Society, which the Executive Com- 

 mittee have concluded to issue once in each year — will ap- 

 pear in January next ; and will contain the Transactions 

 of the Society at its last Annual Meeting, the Lectures 

 and Addresses delivered at that time, a full and I'aitliful 

 account of the Springfield Sho«, with other valuable pa- 

 pers, by eminent members. This volume will be forward- 

 ed to all members who have paid their annual assessments 

 for the year 1854. JIarsuall P. W ilder, President.

 — At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the United 

 States Agricultural Society, held in the City of Washing- 

 ton, in February last, it was resolved that the Society 

 would hold no Exhibition in any State having a State Ag-

 during the current year, and generously subscribed about 

 ten thousand dollars to defray all the expenses of the 

 same, and to guarantee the Suciety against loss, and the

 uniting in the request, the Executive Committee of this 

 Society have concluded to hold a National Show of 

 Cattle, open to general competitior, without sectional

The EniXRURGn Rkview, July, lSii4, No. 203. New York: Leon- 

 ard Scott & Co. 



This venerable and valued periodical has attained its 

 one hundredth volume. It is still edited with marked abil- 

 ity, and its contributors are among the most finished wri- 

 ters of the day. The subjects selected for discussion are 

 those with wiiich not only Englishmen, but Americans 

 should be familiar. The present number has two elaborate 

 articles on the Russian Question, and another on the Rights 

 of Commerce under a state of War. The first is a sketch 

 of the diplomatic history of the Eastern Question. II. — 

 Tea-totalism (we observe Worcester spells it Tee-totalism ) 

 and Laws against the Liquor Trade. III.— Hermann's 

 .^schjlus. IV.— The Kafir Wars and British Policy with 

 reference to the Cape Settlements. V. — The relations be- 

 tween Labor and Capital. VI.— The Orders in Council 

 on Trade during War. VIL— The relative rights of Ma- 



orities and Minorities. VIII- — Emigration to the United 



States. IX.— The Russian War. 



The article on the relations between Labor and Capital 

 is a review of Morrison's Essay on the same subject, and 

 one of the ablest that has ever been written on "the great 

 social question." 



The Weslmhtster Review for July is also on our table, 

 and filled with valuable and interesting reading matter. 



The Half-yearly Abstract of MEnirAL Sciences, 

 ])ubli.shed by Lindsay & Blakiston, Philadelphia, is v^ell 

 worthy of the notice and the perusal of those having the 

 care of the public health. So many medical journals are 

 now published in different parts of the world, and so many 

 new facts in illustration of the various types of disease, 

 that it has become almost indispensably necessary that the 

 wheat be sifted from the chaff and published in a form 

 convenient for reference and use. No. XIX. contains an 

 'nterestimj article on the treatment of Intermittents, by 

 Dr. Bryan, of the African Naval Squadron, England.
