Remarks. —By reference to our Price Current this month, it 
will be seen that, Quercitron Bark, Guano, all kinds of Grain and 
Flour, Hemp, Lead, Pork, and Rice, have risen, and the demand 
for these articles abroad is likely to continue and prices rule high 
throughout the season. Farmers have the best prospects ahead 
and can continue to plant and sow as much as they can possibly 
well cultivate, with the assurance that their labors will be amply 
rewarded after harvest is over, with good prices for their products. 
Money continues reasonably abundant, with large importations 
of specie. 
The Weather , though cold for the season, has upon the whole, 
been favorable for getting in spring crops. Vegetation is still quite 
backward, and the country is suffering somewhat for want of 
rain. We continue to hear complaints of the wheat-crop, but 
nothing particularly alarming. The peach-crop has been nearly 
destroyed south of us by frost, and in this vicinity it has not been 
injured. Other kinds of fruit promise abundantly.

A BOOK FOR EVERY FARMER. 
ftCf* 4000 COPIES SOLD IN ONE MONTH. «£$ 
John P. Jewett & Co., 23 Cornbill, Boston, have just pub¬ 
lished one of the most valuable works for farmers ever issued 
from the American press, entitled, THE AMERICAN VETERI¬ 
NARIAN, or Diseases of Domestic Animals, showing the causes, 
symptoms, and remedies, and rules for restoring and preserving 
health, by good management, with directions for training and 
breeding. By S. W. Cole, Editor Agricultural Department Boston 
Cultivator. 
Mr. Cole has spent several years in compiling and testing the 
facts which he now offers to the farmers of this country. He 
has produced a work of great value to every man who keeps but 
a single Horse or Cow, but to the Practical Farmer its value can 
hardly be over estimated. The whole subject of the Treatment 
of Domestic Animals is treated in the most thorough manner 
comprising the Horse, Ox, Cow, Sheep, Hogs, Dogs, Hens, Tur¬ 
keys, Geese, Ducks, Birds, Bees, &c., «fcc. The whole is com- 
pressed into one volume of 288 closely printed pages, with 7 
beautiful wood engravings, firmly bound in leather. To be sold 
at the low price of 50 cents, in order to bring it within the means 
of every man. No pains or expense have been spared on the part 
of the Author or the Publishers, to produce a work worthy a 
place in every Farmer’s Library. 
For sale at the principal Book and Agricultural Stores in the 
country. C. M. SAXTON, 205 Broadway,
