AMONG OUR EXCHANGES. 
A lively and valuable magazine is the Poultry 
Monthly published at Albany, N. Y., and poultry 
fanciers will not go far wrong if they follow its teach¬ 
ings. Excellent suggestions for the poultry yard are 
found in its pages, and its illustrations while not 
as profuse as are given in some magazines are de¬ 
cidedly first class. §1.25 per year. 
The Southern World for May 15th is truly a 
“journal of industry for the farm, home and work¬ 
shop,” and the people of the sunny south may well 
pride themselves upon the enterprise of their farm¬ 
ers and planters in sustaining the valuable maga¬ 
zines that have been established in their midst 
within the past few years. In every essential, both 
in editorial arrangement and mechanical execution 
it will compare favorably with the best in our land. 
Published twice a month at Atlanta, Ga., at §1.00 
per year. 
The Southern Cultivator for June is on our ta¬ 
ble and it gives us pleasure to note the continued im¬ 
provement shown in each number since it came into 
the hands of the present proprietors. We are glad 
to hear that it is so well sustained by the southern 
farmers and trust the efforts of the publishers may 
be as liberally supported as they deserve to be. 
The table of contents is an interesting one and the 
number can not fail to prove an interesting one to 
all classes. We can but advise every farmer not 
already a subscriber to send James P. Harrison 
& Co., Atlanta, Ga., §1.50 and secure this valuable 
publication a year. 
Among the many finely printed and well-edited 
magazines that come to our table the Ladies Floral 
Cabinet is one of the finest and neatest. The June 
number is excellent. It contains much matter of 
interest to those who love flowers and are fond of 
adorning their household with articles of beauty and 
utility. The house-keeper’s department is full and 
well conducted. Several excellent engravings adorn 
the number. Published at 22 Vesey St., N. Y. at $1.25 
per year. 
Demorest’s Magazine for July is an elegant num¬ 
ber. Among its numerous illustrations is a Bas-re¬ 
lief of the head of the famous Greek demi god 
Perseus, reproduced in plaster papier from a cel¬ 
ebrated bronze bust. This is among the latest 
novelties of magazine work and would form a fine 
ornament for a panel or mantel. In its literary 
department it takes a front rank, articles from the 
pens of such well-known writers a,s Margaret E. 
Sangster, Kate Sanborn, Anna Ballard, Jennie June 
and others frequently appearing. A large amount 
of space is devoted to the household arts, Fancy 
work, the Kitchen, &c., while the fashion department 
is most complete, being a perfect mirror of the latest 
fashions, which, if used as a guide by the ladies in 
preparing their wearing apparel will give them such 
styles as are in vogue among the most refined and 
cultivated ladies of our land. 20 cents a number or 
§2.00 a year. Published at 17 East 14th St., N. Y. 
The excellent article on “Choosing a Business” 
in this issue written by James Parton, and published 
in the Youth’s Companion, Is a fair sample of many 
articles from the pens of distinguished writers who 
contribute to the pages of that interesting paper for 
boys and girls, and which are published in every 
issue throughout the year. The 52 numbers con¬ 
stituting a volume contained over four hundred large 
pages of choice reading and would make a volume 
as large as Webster’s Dictionary, and worth nearly 
as much to any boy in the land. We advise fathers 
and mothers having children to educate to invest 
$1.75 with Perry Mason & Co , Boston. Mass., for a 
year’s subscription and they will not regret it. 
An excellent little monthly is the Kansas Bee- 
Keeper. A change in its form making it consider¬ 
ably larger shows that it is prosperous financially, 
and the amount and character of its matter proves 
its editor to be a proper caterer for his numerous 
patrons. We notice the leading articles aie written 
by some of the most successful bee-keepers in the 
country, J. E. Pond, Jr., James Heddon, G. W. 
Demaree and others being represented in the May 
number. Kansas appears to be a fair honey-pro¬ 
ducing State and the Bee-Keeper should receive 
a hearty support. Published by Scovell & Ander¬ 
son, Columbus, Kansas, at 60 cents per year. 
The Poultry Bulletin for June is a capital num¬ 
ber. A timely article by the editor, entitled “June 
in the Poultry Yard,” shows him to be master of 
the situation with regard to rearing poultry, and the 
other articles which are timely and practical are ar¬ 
ranged with due regard to the necessities of those 
who rear poultry for pleasure and profit. Published 
at 62 Cortland St., N. Y., at $1.25 per year. 
Brooklyn Bridge and Mayor Beatty; 
or, Great Public Enterprises and Self-made Men. 
On the 3d of January, 1870, the work of preparing 
for the foundation of the towers of the now famous 
Brooklvn Bridge was begun. On April 1, 1870, Dan¬ 
iel F. Beatty left his father’s home in Hunterdon 
County, New Jersey, penniless. To-day he owns the 
largest Reed Organ Works in existence, and doing a 
business of several millions of dollars annually. 
Credit is due to those who managed the great 
Bridge, same may be said in reference to Mayor 
Beatty, of Washington, New Jersey, who now is 
shipping an organ every ten minutes. 
We have received from Van Deusen & 
Son some samples of comb foundation 
which for quality of workmanship is equal 
to any we have ever seen. The specimens 
are flat bottomed, and are of three grades, 
viz: thick for brood combs, thin for starters 
in section boxes, and wired to show man¬ 
ner of preparing it so as to prevent sag¬ 
ging and breaking down. We are not post¬ 
ed as to how the bees regard the flat 
bottomed foundation, but if the manu¬ 
facturers send to their customers goods one 
half as well made as their samples he must 
be a fastidious' person who would com¬ 
plain.
