HOltSFORD'S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &c Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into phos- 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In ^raising" the dough it does not, like oilier 
yeast, decompose flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions Cor use. Send for pam- 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for " Hoisiovd's 
Bread Preparation." WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

The lona Nurseries. 
Grape Vines; also choice plants of all 
varieties of Small Fruits, 
We offer for fall trade a large and choice stock of all the 
leading varieties of grapevines, including lona, Israella, 
Delaware, Concord, &c, and the new varieties, Martha 
and Walter. 
We have also a good stock of one, two, and three-year- 
old vines of the 
EUMELAN GRAPE, 
which Dr. C. W. Grant esteems to be the most valuable varie- 
ty ever yet introduced. It is an early, black grape, of first 
quality, equaling either Delaware or lona for richness as a 
table fruit, and makes red wine superior to Norton's Vir- 
ginia, or any other American grape. 
Ripening as early as Hartford Prolific, and being entirely 
hardy, it can be successfully grown iu northern latitudes, 
and will be of great value everywhere as an early market 
grape. 
Regarding the quality of the fruit, 
THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST SAYS: 
" We saw I lie fruit before the stock of vines was purchased 
by Dr. Grant, and regard it as an excellent and very early 
sort, with more character than is usually to be found in 
early grapes." 
Whoever has success with the Concord vine may plant the 
Eumehin with full assurance that grapes of surpassing ex- 
cellence may be obtained by using an average degree of 
skill in cultivation. The Eumelan vines we offer are grown 
from mature wood taken from the original stock, all of 
which is under our control, the old vines standing in our 
own grounds. To insure securing the genuine p:ants, all 
parties should seud direct to us, or to our authorized agents. 
Madison, Wisconsin, Aug. 3d, 1869. 
Messrs. Hasbeouck & Bushnell, 
Gentlemen : The Eumelan sent me by Dr. Grant is now 
on its second year's growth, making a good show ot fruit, 
and a masterly growth of wood. I must say. thus far, I have 
never cared "for a vine which more fully "fills the bill." 
The characteristics generally ascribed to it seem to be fully 
developed here, and after passing through the severest trial 
of winter the vine has ever sustained in this locality, it now 
manifests more vigor than any variety I have ever handled. 
Very respectfully, WM. BROOKS. 
North East, Pa., Aug. 5th, 1369. 
Messrs. Hasbrottck & Busiinell, 
Gents; The two Eumelan vines had of C. W. Grant, in 
the spring of 1868, have made a good growth, and are entire- 
ly healthy. One of the vines set five bunches of fruit this 
spring. The five hundred Eumelan vines purchased lor the 
South Shore Wine Co. last spring have grown well, and are 
doing better than any other vines planted by me, of same 
age. Respectfully yours. 
JOHN E. MOTTIER, 
Supt. South Shore Wine Co. 
From the thousands of Eumelan vines sent out, the reports 
are in entire harmony with the foregoing. 
We are prepared to supply a limited stock of well-natured 
Eumelan wood for <j raj tinij andfor aeneral'propatjation.

THE PRACTICAL 
POULTRY KEEPER, 
A COMPLETE AND STANDARD GUIDE TO TnE 
MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY, 
FOR DOMESTIC USE, THE MARKETS, OR 
EXHIBITION. 
Beautifully Illustrated. 
By L. WRIGHT. 
NOTICES BY TnE PRESS. 
This hook is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at ouco the plain 
poulterer who must make the business pay, and the chick- 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
bright bird?. The most valuable portion is the first sec- 
tion, extending through fifty-Jive 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 ore taken up 
with minute directions for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of the good and had points of the dif- 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
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 hook 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, hut 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 he found a 
plain and sufficient guide to any one iu any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farmers' Cabinet. 
This is a reprint, with numerous wood engravings, of 
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, aud we recommend it to farmers aa'tt 
others interested in breeding and selling poultry. 
Philadelphia Press. 
It is a handsome volume, brought out in the best style., 
and enriched with near fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
the fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl- 
edge of fowls, ami will be found a plain and sufficient 
guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
as a profitable business. United Presbyterian. 
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- 
bellished with numerous illustrative engravings. 
New York Observer, 
The author has called to his aid all who were experi- 
enced in the subject whereof he writes, aud the conse- 
quence is a volume of more than ordinary thoroughness 
and exhaustivencss. Rochester Democrat. 
The book is a complete and standard guide to the man- 
agement of poultry for domestic use, the market, and 
for exhibition. Watchman and Rejkdor.
