 ter on Bones and Superpliospbates. N»w York : C. M. SAiTos 

 &Go. pp.300. Pi ice, $1. 



This is an interesting and valuable book, containing "the 

 pith of eight lectures on the chemistry of soil and manure," 

 delivered before the citizens of Lowell, at their request, by 

 the author. 



MORTIXER'S COLLBGS LiFE. By E. J. MAT, author of "Louis' 



School Days," etc. With iUustrations. New York : D. Applf.- 



T0.-< & Co., 346 and 3iS Broadway. 1856. 350 pages. Price, $1. 



This is a reprint of an English work, beautifully printed 



and illustrated, and well calculated, we think, from a hasty 



glance, to inculcate good moral and religious principles in 



youth. It will be an excellent gift book for the holidays. 



The Horse's Foot anp now lo keep it Soniro, with illustra- 

 tions. By Wiu.lAM Miles, Esq. New York: C. M. Saito.-* h 

 Co. pp. to. Price, 25 centa. 



This, also, is a reprint of a valuable English work. Ev- 

 ery man who owns a horse, and particularly every man 

 vho undertakes to shoe one, should read this little book. 

 We are constantly annoyed at the ignorance of black- 

 smiths on this subject. Every man who can drive a nail 

 or blow a bellows thinks he knows how to shoe a hor.se ; 

 ■and the consequence is the poor beast hobbles and stum- 

 bles and suffers. If you have an intelligent horse-shoer 

 within twenty miles of yon, patronise him, and let the ig- 

 norant pretender learn bia business or engage in some 

 other. 



This is a good looking book of over 400 pages. The 

 aathor says this work is a " record of facts, simply, from 

 the experience of one who has been an eye and ear wit- 

 ness ; and if its perusal shall influence a single individual 

 to labor more zealously and more fervently toward remo- 

 ving from our legal and social system the dark blots that 

 now unfortunately stain them, I shall not have put forth 

 inj hand in vain." We have not bad time to read this 

 Ibeok, but it haa a good look. 



TnK VI.\E-I>RKSSBU3' MANUAL, an illustrated treatise on Vineyards 

 and Wine-miiking. By Charles Keemelin, of Oliio. New 

 York : C. II. Saxto.v & Co. pp. 100. Price, M cents. 



The author of this little work is a practical vintner, 

 and to use his own language, " owns vineyards, has woiked 

 and does work in them." The pruning and training of 

 the vine is plainly and neatly illustrated, and we have no 

 hesitation in pronouncing it a valuable work on a subject 

 in reference to which information is now eagerly sought. 



The Stable Book; being a treatise on the management of Horses, 

 &c., Sc. New York : C. M. Saxto.i & Co. pp. 376. Price, $1. 



This is the celebrated English book by JouN Stewart, 

 with notes and additions adapting it to American food and 

 climate, by A. B. Allen. 



JnquitUs anb fUnsiotTe. 



Sweet Corn. — Is the Stowell Evergreen Corn really evergreen f 

 that is, will it keep all the winter a» represented ? What is the 

 best green corn, if this is not? J. N. 



The Stowell corn is late, and drys for seed with difficulty 

 here, as unless it is hung up in a room with a fire it will 

 mildew. We have not succeeded in making it of much 

 account in winter. The Boston folks praise the Old Col' 

 any sweet corn. We have never eaten anything better in 

 this line than the pure old fashioned sweet corn. Itreallj 

 seems good enough for the most inveterate epicure.
