We have received from the publishera, D. Appleton & 

 o., the second volume, or an '• Intermediate Geography," 

 ein"^ part of a complete series of School Geographies, 

 y S. S. Cornell. We have already had occasion to no- 

 ce and commend both the plan and the execution of this 

 chool Book. 



Common Place Book of Thoughts, Memories, and Fancies; 

 Oii2:mal and Selected : by Mrs. Jameson : D. Appleton & Co., 

 I'ubiishers. 



The reputation of Mrs. J. is alone sufficient to command 



tentioa to this very readable melange of Thoughts, Mem- 



ies, and Fancies, which she has given to the public. 



hoever buys the book will get the worth of his money. 



TDROPATHic CooK BooK. Bj R. T. Trall, M. D. New York ; 

 Fowler & Wells, PuMiahera. 



There is a great deal of useful information relating to 

 od, alimentary principles, and health in this book. It 

 ould be in the hands of everybody, for all are interested 



what they eat and drink, and many poison themselves 

 Dm sheer ignorance and carelessness. 



This is designed as a text book to be used in schools, 

 ving questions at the bottom of each page to test the 

 oroughness with which the pupil has studied his lesson. 

 le work appears well adapted to the wants of beginners, 

 far as we have examined it. 



This is really a valuable compilation, in which a large 

 lount of professional information is methodically ar- 

 3ged and condensed. Every farmer needs a work of 

 s kind, and when books are so cheap as they now are, 

 will lose money not to purchase this manual on Land- 

 aining. 



B Practical Fruit, Flower, axd Vegetable Gardeners' 

 lOMPANiON, with a Calendar. By Patrick Neill, LL. D., F. R. 

 . E., Secretary to the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, 

 dapted to the United States from the fourth edition. Revised 

 Dd improved by the author. Edited by G. Emerson, M. D., 

 fith notes and additions by R. G. Pardee, etc., etc. 



This book would be more attractive if its title were not 



e a dog with three long tails, each growing out of the 



gthened extremity of the other. Cut off two of these, 



'. Saxton, and c?/r-tail the other, and then a really val- 



ble work by a highly educated Scotchman will find 



4nty of readers.

N'oTiCES TO Correspondents. — Mr. W. M. Corbet, 

 Corsica. Pa., asks : — 1st. " For what crops is bone-dust 



tst valuable ?" 



Ansjver. — In England, where it has been longest and 

 »8t extensively in use, it is thought to benefit the turnip 

 >p more than any other; it is, however, valuable for 

 rn and other grain, for meadows and pastures, and all 

 ler agricultural plants. 



2d. "How does it compare with lime, in value, where lime 

 can be easily and cheaply obtained ?" 



Artewer. — Tlie two do not admit of comparison ; for the 

 reason that no amount of lime can ever serve as a substi- 

 tute for the phosphoric acid in bones, in the economy of 

 nature. 



3d. '* How much is a dressing for an acre of land ?" 



Anstcer. — From five to fifteen bushels ; although some 

 have used no more than three bushels per acre, and others 

 twenty — differing as widely as men do in the application 

 of other manure. 



4th. *' What is the cost of mills, where can they be ob- 

 tained, and what the process of manufacture ?" 



A/iswer.—A good bone-mill costs from $150 to $250 ; 

 and but few are manufactured, for the demand is small. 

 In most farming districts the supply of bones is small, and 

 it prevents the purchase of mills. Did the manufacturers 

 advertise them in the Genlsee Farmer, they would sell 

 more ; but we cannot advertise them for nothing. 



Will you, or some one of your correspondent)?, through the 

 medium of the Farmer, answer the following questions : Ist- 

 What is the beat method of destroying the weed known here as 

 the Canadian thistle ? 2d. What is the mode of cultivation, and 

 what the use of the egg-plant ? An Inquirer.

HORSE POWERS. THRESHERS, EAGLE FAN Mn.T. S 



ALLEN'S Improved Horse Tower— it. runs uncnmmonlv easy, 

 and does not require more than half the elevation at the for- 

 ward end, of other powers. 

 THRESHERS— Both over and under shot, made in a superior 



EAGLE FAN MILLS— 7^e best and cheapest Grain and Seed 

 Separator made. The superiority of this Fan Mill consists, 



First — In cleaning without a scn-en, by separating the impurities 

 such as chess, cockle, smut, &c., by the blast alone, consequently 

 saving the loss of 'he small sound kernels of wheat which must 

 go through a screen. 



Second — An arrangement by which a part of the sound and per- 

 fect grains are separated from the rest for seeding, leaving the bal- 

 ance in a good marketable condition, so that the farmer need sow 

 only snch grain as contains the germ of growth. 



Third — Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are cleaned 

 in the most perfect m;inner. 



Fourth— Fans built on this plan will clean grain, both in the Orst 

 and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now in use. 



Fifth — The cheapness and durability of its constructitin.
