 readers who contemplate purcliasiiii: seeds or plantB 

 duriiiir tlie eominir season, to the advertise tnelit of 

 Peter Henderson it Co., New York, uow appeiirhisf 

 In our coluniiis. Peter Hendirson, tlie senior mem- 

 bei* ol" tlie lir'm, is known far ami wiiU' as a liorll- 

 cullural writer and autliorily. His books, "Uar- 

 dcnine lor Profit," "I'raclical Floriculture," and 

 "Ciardenins for Pleasure," arc now in the hands 

 of tllou^;llKls. Tlie irreen-lionse establishment of 

 this firm covers three acres in jrrcen-houscs and 

 employs upwards of tilty hands. Millions of plants 

 are ship|icd by mail or express annually to every 

 State and Territory. Their seed warehouse is the 

 most extensive in the city of New York, and every 

 order received is certain to lie filled willi f;oods of 

 the best, quality, and as they are producers as 

 well as dealers, "everything for the garden" will 

 bo sold at low rates. Feb-3ra

Wallace's Monthly. 



The March number of Wallace'^ Monthly has just 

 reached us, and is fully up to the standard. "The 

 Marshland Stud Farm," by "Privateer," heads the 

 list of contents, is handsomely illustrated, and is, 

 moreover, interesting to the j;cncra! reader. This is 

 followeil hy a description of Midaletown, by Rysdyk's 

 Hambletonian, with a portrait. "Breaking and 

 Training Trottine: Horses," is the first of a series of 

 papers tiy H. C. Wooduut, the noted trainer, and is 

 worlhy the attention of all interested in horse stock. 

 "Was Ethan Allen by Flying Morgan?" is a query 

 propounded in an exceedingly readable article, no 

 less excellent than two others, t'iz, "Butter Cows," 

 and "The Future Trotter — How shall lie be Bred?" 



"Mattie Hunter and hci- Ancestors," and "The 

 Sire of Karus," are topics discussed in the editorial 

 department, which is unusually well filled with in- 

 teresting matter, "the list of :i:aO horses, under their 

 Sires," being alone worth a year's subscription.

The Cooley Creamer. 



This method of "deep-setting of milk" is coming 

 into so general use, that at the recent dairy fair 

 in New York, it was not shown as a "novelty," 

 but took its place as a common and indispensable 

 adjunct to the dairy. With a Cooley Creamer a 

 dairyman is entirely independent of the weather, and 

 his product is uniiorni at all times. It is in this, as 

 well as in its convenience, that the Cooley process of 

 setting milk eooimends itself to all who make but- 

 ter. 



From our foreign exchanges we infer that It has 

 been quite extensively introduced into use in Great 

 Britain. — Albany Conntry C-'entleman. Feb-4m.
