The Shepherd's Manual. 
A Practical Treatise on the Sheep, 
Designed Especially for American Shepherds. 
By HENRY STEWART. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The first edition of this Manual has been so well received, 
and the letters acknowledging indebtedness for assistance 
derived from it have been so many and so emphatic, that 
the author has the best of reasons for presenting this new 
and enlarged edition to the public. It is intended to be so 
plain that a farmer, or a farmer’s son, who has never kept a 
sheep, may learn from its pages how to manage a flock suc¬ 
cessfully, and to he so complete that even the experienced 
shepherd may gather some suggestions from it. The author 
feels, with enlarged experience since the first publication of 
the volume, that he can still more confidently than before 
encourage the young shepherd to accept this Manual as a 
guide and a counsellor.

A Trochar for Cattle-Men, 
In June of 1872 we gave illustrations of a Trochar and 
Cannula to be used in ringing a bull, and on 
page 13 (January) and page 97 (March) of the 
American Agriculturist for 1873 (copies of 
which may be got from this office for 15 cents 
each) we described the use of this apparatus 
. in relieving hoven in cattle. These ar¬ 
il tides have brought out a large demand for 
III Trochars, and failing to find just the right 
II kind among the makers of surgical imple- 
11 ments, we have induced an establishment 
Jll to undertake their manufacture. We give 
ID 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. 
A COPPER BULL-RING¬ 
S' inches in diameter, of the 
most approved pattern, with 
screw-driver for putting it to¬ 
gether, will be sent, prepaid, on 
receipt of $1.00. Address
