SEED-TIME Am HARVEST. 
Literary Mention. 
The Popular Science Monthly for April has an 
interesting table of contents, a portion of which we 
consider of much interest to the majority of Ameri¬ 
can readers. Dr. Max Pettenkofer continues his 
article on cholera, the subject being Pro agation; 
Geo. lies gives a Chapter on Fire Insurances; Gor¬ 
ham D. Williams writes on Liquor Legislation; R. W. 
Edis points out the proper Internal Arrangement of 
Town Houses; and Prof. Williams continues his 
Chemistry of Cookery. A short sketch of Prof. John 
Trowbridge with a portrait is also given. Published 
by D. Appleton & Co., N. Y., at $ 5.00 a year. 
The Southern Cultivator changed its form slight¬ 
ly a few months ago making it appear small, although 
the fact is it is increased in size. We have often 
wondered how its publishers could give so much 
matter for the money and account for it by thinking 
they must be publishing it for glory. Every farmer 
in the South ought to take it. Published at Atlanta, 
Ga., at $1.50 per year. 
The Rural New Yorker bases its opinion of new 
fruits, vegetables, cattle, sheep, poultry, &c., upon 
its experimental farms, and by its various paid cor¬ 
respondents who have no interest in stating anything 
but what they believe to be the exact truth regarding 
anything of which they write. Farmers and others 
who know this consider the Rural authority, and 
next to their bible in usefulness, and worth much 
more than its cost, $2/ 0 per year. 
Vick’s Magazine for April contains a beautiful 
and very natural colored plate of Swan River Daisies 
that would be an ornament to any magazine in the 
world; a prize essay on Annuals in the Winter Win¬ 
dow-Garden ; a sketch of Barbadoes and other Trop 
ical Islands; floral and garden notes, poems, &c., 
with many fine illustrations. 
American Bee Journal. As the honey season 
opens, bee keepers begin to look around for some 
paper devoted to their interests We know of none 
better than The Weekly Bee Journal, published by 
Thomas G. Newman, Chicago, Ill., at $2.00 a year; 
In fact it is the oldest Bee paper in America. 
The Prairie Farmer shows upon its face the hand 
of a master workman in every department. From 
its appearance, we judge it is appreciated by the 
farmers of the great West, many of whom learned 
their first lessons in ‘‘book farming” from its editor 
when he had charge of the American Agriculturist. 
Pul lished weekly at Chicago, at $2 i0 per year. 
Cassell’s Family Magazine for April has its usual 
complement of excellent stories, sketches and engrav¬ 
ings One especially interesting article is entitled, 
Wild Birds in London, in which the writer gives a 
history and description of the various birds to be 
found in the parks and gardens of London with 
illustrations of several of them. Nathaniel Haw¬ 
thorne and his Wife, with portrait of Hawthorne at 
the age of 56; The Bugle Calls of the English Army, 
and many other articles make up an intei esting num¬ 
ber. Published by Cassell & Co , N Y., at $1.50 per 
year. 
Our Presidents. We have received from M. M. 
Randall & Co., N. Y., & copy of their large picture 
of the Presidents of the United States The portraits 
are generally very good likenesses and the grouping 
gives a good artistic effect, although the diversity of 
apparel would seem to indicate a difficult subject. 
The picture would adorn any room. See advertise¬ 
ment in another place.
