 "The New Onion Culture." 163 pages, in cloth, price $1.00. Published by T. 

 (ireiner, La Salle, N. Y. 



This book comes to our table fresh from the press. It treats in a plain common sense 

 way, on a question of vital interest to es'ei-y farmer and fruit grower, what are the best 

 fertilizers to be applied to our crops, where and in what form to procure them most 

 cheaply, and how to apply them for the best results. The type is large and clear, and the 

 whole book is got up in such a readable and popular form as to be attractive even to those 

 who have not been trained to study. We would advise every reader of our journal to 

 secure a copy of this book and study it carefully. 



The People's Horse, Cattle, Sheep and Swixe Doctor ; Containing in four parts clear 

 and concise descriptions of tlie diseases of the respective animals, with the exact doses 

 of medicine for each. Edited by AVilliam H. Clarke. Illustrated. Extra cloth bind- 

 ing. Price $1. M. T. Richardson, Publisher, New York. 



A book on diseases of domestic animals, which should present a description of each 

 disease and name, the proper medicines for treatment in such condensed form as to be 

 within the means of everybody, has long been recognized as a desideratum. The work 

 before us appears to cover the ground completely. The information is arranged so as to 

 be easily accessible — an important consideration. Each disease is first described, then 

 follows the symptoms by which it may be recognized, and lastly is given the proper reme- 

 dies. The different medicines employed in all diseases are described and the doses 

 required are given. The book is copiously illustrated, including engi'avings showing the 

 shapes of horses' teeth at different ages. An elaborate index is a valuable feature.
