Finely Illustrated, with 12 Full-Page 
Engravings, and Numerous Other 
• Cuts. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
It is full of quaint lmraor, a tender pathos, and vivid de- 
scriptions.— iVieio York Standard. 
Tiie "events" are stirring and dramatic, and the style is 
quiet, impersonal, and almost epigrammatic in its ability to 
lay bare an entire situation or character in a sentence or 
phrase.— Brooklyn Daily Eagle. 
It is at once quaint and truthful, and illustrated aa it is by 
masterly cuts, it should be one of the most popular 
books.— Christian Standard (Cincinnati). 
For realistic conception and life-like delineation of char- 
acter, it is not excelled by any American story.— Methodist. 
Some passages in it, for life-like delineation and the sim- 
ple, artless beauty which constitute the highest perfection 
of storv-writing, are equal to some of the very best passages 
in Diclieus— Religious Telescope.

The End of the World, 
A LOVE STORY. 
By EDWARD E&GLESTON, 
Author of "T7ie Booster School- Master." 
WITH 
Thirty-two Fine Illustrations. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The personages who figure in this story are, with one 
exception, country people— such men and women as 
Wordsworlh loved to study. It is not every man, what- 
ever may be his talents, that can safely enter this sphere 
of literary labor. To be successful in it, he must possess 
exceptional qualities ; but for those who know how to 
find it, here there is gold of the purest, richest kind. In 
such a work, however, there is no convenient place 
where mediocrity can rest; there is nothing but absolute 
failure or absolute success. And Mr. Eggleston has suc- 
ceeded. His power lies in the delineation of character. 
The plot, is ingenious and natural, the incidents arc man- 
aged with great skill, and there are many descriptive 
passages of singular force and beauty. But the strongest 
impression left on the reader's mind as he closes the 
volume is that he has been in the company of very inter- 
esting men and women, and has made a number of new 
and valuable acquaintances.— The Albion, New York.

THE PRACTICAL 
K COMPLETE AND STANDARD GUIDE TO TDB 
MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY, 
FOR DOMESTIC USE, THE MARKETS, OR 
EXHIBITION. 
Heau.tifu.lly Illustrated. 
By L. WRIGHT. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
This book is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at ouce the plain 
poulterer who must make the business pay, and the chick- 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
bright birds. The most valeable portion is the first sec- 
tion, extending through fifty-five pages. These were writ- 
ten with the intention of producing a manual so plain, 
minute, and practical, that anyone could, by using it as a 
guide, with no previous experience with poultry, become 
at once successful in producing eggs, young chickens, and 
fat fowls for market. The author has not missed his aim. 
The middle parts of Mr. Wright's Manual are taken up 
wilh minute directions for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of the good and bad points of the dif- 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock aa 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Then follows a 
section on artificial hatching, and another, worth special 
attention, on large poultry yards A study of Mr. 
Wright's book will convince any farmer's wife that all 
she needs is to give a half hour each day, of intelligent 
and sagacious attention to her poultry, in order to obtain 
from them, not tape, and knitting needles, and buttons, 
and nutmegs merely, but the family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, and cloth. New York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on the mat- 
ters of which it treats yet published. It will be found a 
plain and sufficient guide to any one in any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farniei's" Cabinet. 
This is a reprint, with numerous wood engravings, ol 
an English book, the object of which is to convey in 
plain language a great deal of practical information about 
the breeding and management of poultry, whether for 
domestic use, the markets, or exhibition The book is 
eminently practical, and we recommend it to farmers am 1 
others interested in breeding and selling poultry. 
Philadelphia Pre^s. 
It is a handsome volume, brought out in the best style, 
and enriched with nearly fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
the fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl- 
edge of fowls, and will be found a plain and sufficient 
guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
bs a profitable business. United Pi'esbyteiian. 
The subject is treated fully and ably by an experienced 
hand, and the volume will doubtless find a large sale 
among the growing class of poultry fanciers. It is em- 
belfishcd with numerous illustrative engravings. 
New York Observer, 
The author has called to his aid all who were expen 
enced in the subject whereof he writes, and the conse- 
quence is a volume of more than ordinary thoroughness 
and exhaustiveness. Rochester Democrat. 
The book is acomprete and standard guide to the man- 
agement of poul'^r/for domestic use, the market, and 
for exhibition. Walchma/i and Reflector. ,

A Irochar for Cattle-Men, 
In June of 1872 we gave illustrations of a Tro- 
char and Cannula to lie used in ringing 
a bull, and on page 13 (January) and 
page 97 (March) of last year's volume 
■we described the use of this apparatus 
in relieving hoven in cattle. These ar- 
ticles have brought out a large demand for 
Trochare, and failing to find just the right 
kind among the makers of surgical imple- 
ments, we have induced an establishment 
to undertake their manufacture. We give 
herewith a small engraving of the Trochar. 
These articles are now in the trade, and 
may be bad of most dealers in agricultural 
implements. Those who can not get them 
from dealers can receive them from this office, post-paid, 
for $1.00.
