NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The Farm-Yard Club of Jotham, an Account of the Fami¬ 
lies and Farms of that Famous Town, so happily combines 
the information which both the amateur and the professional 
farmer need, with the charms of individual experience and 
characterization, that it will please a great variety of tastes. 
The number and excellence of the illustrations deserve spe¬ 
cial mention, the designs being tastefully conceived and 
skillfully executed, and having, moreover, a peculiar ap¬ 
propriateness.— Globe, Boston, Mass. 
Dr. Loring has given us a book which is at once cyclopedic 
in its information, entertaining for its wit and humor, and 
interesting as a story, for the bright thread of real life and 
love that runs through it. — Golden Buie.

BV JOHN PI-IIN, 
Editor of “ The American Journal of Microscopy.” j 
The great favor with which this book has been received, 
has encouraged the publishers to prepare an entirely new 
set of plates for it. The new edition', therefore, is not a 
mere reprint of the old, but will be enlarged to nearly dou¬ 
ble the size, and at the same time will be improved by the 
addition of some thirty or forty illustrations, including four 
full page engravings, handsomely printed on tine toned 
paper. Notwithstanding these additions and improvements, 
the price will remain the same—75 cents, post-paid.

A Trochar for Cattle-Men. 
In June of 1R72 we gave illustrations of a Trochar and 
Cannula lo he used in ringing a bull, and on 
page 13 (January) and page 97 (March) of the 
American Agriculturist for IS73 (copies of 
which may he got from this office for 15 cents 
each) wc described the use of this apparatus 
in relieving liove'n in cattle. These ar¬ 
il tides have brought out a large demand for 
I Trochars, and failing to find just the right 
I kind among the makers of surgical imple- 
I ments, we have induced an establishment 
II to undertake their manufacture. We give 
III herewith a small engraving of the Trochar. 
These articles are now in the trade, and 
may be had of most dealers in agricultural 
implements. Those'who can not get them from dealers 
can receive them from this office, prepaid,-for $1.00.
