This is a capital trewtise. and should be in the hands of

Y'ork: C. 31. Saxton & Co. 1854. I 
This little volume contains mucli important sriformation, . 
in small compass, it should be studied m Schools and j 
used as a Text Book, until a more complete treatise is at- 
tainable. In thi.s enlightened age, the Farmer or Pl.intei 
who is ignorant of at least the ludiments of Agricuhnr.il I 
Chemistry, is very poorly qualified to pursue his calling. , 
Fifty cents will buy this volume and pay postage. i 
That “ the Lord .^ends us meat, but the Devil sends

j made a Jc^t of; and that we of the South consume our full

: Satanic 3Ioje.sty, no one will deny who lias been forced 
I by sheer hunger into an attempt to bolt and “inwardly di- 
I gest” sucli abominable compounds as hechtcak fried in 
, /a/v/(/) burning hot, halt-baked biscuit, muddy coffee, 
pastry of the consi.stency of brick clay, and various other 
delicacies which are too often served up to Railroad 
travellers and iliose misguided denizens of our cities who 
betake themselves to the “rural districts” :ind places of 
fashionable resort during the summor season, in search 
of health and comfort; That a reform in public and pri- 
vate cookery, tmd an increase of knowledge in liouselioid 
affairs generally is imperatively needed, no one wdll 
deny; and as we have the aulhority of a lady every way 
competent; for pronouncing both ot’ these works very 
valuable, we unhesiiatingly commend them to the moth- 
ers and daughters of the South. Fifty cents remitted to 
the publishers, v. ill procure paid.
