MINER'S EQUILATERAL BEE HIVE. 
THE subscriber has constructed a Bee-Hive, denominated 
as above, of peculiar merit. A partial idea of its beauty of 
appearance may be had, from the hives shown in the engrav- 
ing at page 56. The design is entirely original, and the whole 
is based on the true principles of the natural economy of the 
honey bee ; its leading feature of utility is, however, the great 
facility of managing the supers in the chamber. No hive can 
possibly excel it on this point ; nor in any other, as the sub- 
scriber fully believes. This hive is the most beautiful in its 
tout ensemble, of any that has ever yet appeared. 
The price/by the single hive, is $5 ; and sent to any part of 
the United States, giving the purchaser the right to make any 
number of hives, that he may desire, for his own personal use ; 
and by the dozen, to sell again, or otherwise a very large dis- 
count will be made, according to the number wanted. For 
the benefit of gentlemen residing at a distance, where hives 
cannot be conveniently sent, full and ample drawings have 
been made, and engraved, showing every part of the hive, as 
well as its whole complete appearance, so that any joiner can 
construct it, just as well as if a real hive were before him. 
Besides this, a pamphlet of twelve pages, giving the rules 
of management complete for this hive, will be sent to any 
address on the receipt of One Dollar, and the right to make 
as above guaranteed. The particulars of the abo^e valuable 
hive will not appear in the subscriber's new work on bees, 
now in press. Address, T. B. MINER, 
No. 40 Peck Slip, N. Y. 
A GOOD BOOK COMING! 
COLE'S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK. 
S. W. COLE, Esq., author of the popular work entitled The 
American Veterinarian, of which 22,000 copies have already 
been published, has, after years of patient labor and close in- 
vestigation, completed his great work, entitled Cole's Ameri- 
can Fruit Book, a work which we believe is destined to 
have a more widely-extended circulation than any similar 
work, ever before offered to the American public. We be- 
lieve so for the following reasons : — 
First — It is a mature work and a practical one, one on which 
Mr. Cole has spent many years of study and close examina- 
tion, and knowing the wants of the community has met those 
wants, in a plain, concise, and familiar manner, avoiding tech- 
nicalities, and ultra scientific specifications and definitions, 
useful only to the few — made a work intelligible to all. 
It will be emphatically a book for the people. 
Secondly — It will have an unprecedented sale on account of 
its cheapness. It will make a volume of 288 closely-printed 
pages. Illustrated with over one hundred beautifully-execut- 
ed engravings, by Brown, and will be sold for 50 cents, firmly 
bound in leather, and 62^ cents in fancy cloth, with gilt backs. 
It will contain full directions for raising, propagating, and 
managing fruit trees, shrubs and plants, with a description 
pf the best varieties of Fruit, embracing several new and 
valuable kinds ; embellished with engravings, and outlines of 
fruit trees, and various other designs, emphatically a book 
for everybody. As well for the man who eats fruit as for him 
who raises it. This valuable work will be published early in 
February. 
100 agents, active, intelligent, and honest, are wanted to sell 
this book, in every state in the Union. A cash capital of from 
826 to $50 will be necessary. Address (post paid), the pub- 
lishers, John P. Jewett & Co., 23 Cornhill, Boston.

POUDRETTE. 
THE LOD1 MANUFACTURING CO. offer their new and 
improved Poudrette, for sale at their usual rates — 1 bbl. $2 ; 
3 bbls. $5, and $1.50 per barrel for any quantity over 7 barrels, 
delivered free of expense, on board of vessels in New York. 
At the factory, where vessels, drawing eight feet of water 
can come, it will be sold at 25 cents per bushel. 
The expense per acre in manuring corn with Poudrette, 
will not amount to more than $4, reckoning 25 cents per bbl., 
freight and all the necessary labor included. On land previ- 
ously manured, or good sward land, one gill to the hill is suf- 
ficient ; on poor ground, a good crop can be raised by one 
gill to the hill at planting, and one at the last hoeing. The 
cost in labor alone, of manuring in the hill with barn-yard ma- 
nure, will amount to more than the first cost of Poudrette, 
with all the freight and charges added ; and the effects of this 
manure are quicker ; the corn grows more vigorously, and 
comes to maturity earlier. A fair trial, however small, is re- 
spectfully solicited.
