TO THE BREEDERS OF DEVON CATTLE. 
f * ^ HE Snbscviber is now collectinc; materials for The Third Volume 
X of the DEVON HEKD BOOK, and takes .this method of invit- 
hisr breeders to send the pedigrees of all animals eligible for entry in 
the work. It is desirable that all entries be received before the 1st 
of July next, or as soon thereafter as practicable, in order that de- 
tinite information maybe given in regard to the time of publication. 
All animals must be able to tr.ace, on both sides, from unquestion- 
able North Devon stock : and to furnish the necessary evidence 
on this point, persons sending pedigrees should give the name and 
residence of tl'.e breeder of every animal referred to, unless such 
animal is registered in the First or Second Volume of the Devon 
Herd Book, in which case reference to the No. will be necessary. 
Tkkms. — E ach patron is expected to take at least one copy of 
the "Work, tiie price of which will be .f 1 and also to pay 25 cents 
for the registry of each auimel — registry fee to be paid in advance. 
Cuts of breeding animals, properly executed, will be inserted in 
connection with their pedigrees, at a charge cpf .S7 each. They 
will be printed on fly leaves, in th.c best manner. 
It will be recollected that there has already been published an 
American edition of the First and ‘Second Volumes of the Devon 
Herd Book, bound together, with a frontispiece of the Quartly 
Testimonial, and t^vo handsome Illustrations of English prize 
Devons. The price for these two volumes is .$2. They will tie 
forwarded as mav tie directed, on the reception of the above .sum.

'"I '' HERE are six good reasons for this un]iaralled increase and 
i great popularity : — 1st. It is strong and reliable, and easily 
managed. 2d. It saves the hard labor of" Raking. 3d. It sa\ es at 
least another hand in binding. 4th. It saves shattering bt' the care- 
ful h.andling in raking ; besides, the straw being laid straight, it is 
well secured in the sheaf, and does not drop in the after handling, 
and the heads are not exposed in the stack, so that the grains sav- 
ing even exceeds the labor saving. 5th. It is a good Mower, being 
one of the best convertible machin,cs in u.se. 6th. It has a knife 
that does not choke. 
Its otlier excellencios, too nnmerons to mention here, are fairly 
given in the Circulars. Its intrinsic worth is also attested by ihe 
awards (mostly in onlv 3 vears) of 
DVEil 70 FIRST FREMIIUMS ! 
Price. — Reai)cr and Mower, .$20(1 — !S75 on its receipt. .*75 first

To secure a. machine order immediately, 'rhough so little is 
knotvn the past season, and none ready for delivery till lst May, 
yet not tw'Vthirds the customers could be supplied. The reputa- 
tion of the Macliine is now widely establishml, so that three thous- 
and will not as nearly supply tlm demand as twelve hundred did 
last year, and we shall also be selling four mouths eariior.
