TT^AVY’S DEVON HERD BOOK. 
A large supply of both 1st and 2d Volumes bound in one book, 
and containing all the subject connected with the Devon records 
of both England and America up to the present time ; also as a 
frontispiece the beautilul engraving of the celebrated picture 
known as the “ Quartly Testimonial,” which is a full length 
portrait of Mr. Francis Quartly, now living, at 91 years of age. 
It is also illustrated with two animals, prize winners in England. 
Price $100, and can be had by inclosing the amount to B. P. 
Johnson, Cor. Sec. of N. Y. State Society, Albany, N. Y.; Lu¬ 
ther Tucker, Ed. of Country Gentleman, Albany, N. Y.; Sand- 
ford Howard, Boston, Mass.; D. D. T. Moore, Ed. Wool Grower 
and Stock Register, Rochester, N. Y.; A. B. Allen, Ed. Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist, New-York; SamT Sands, Ed. American 
Farmer, Baltimore, Md.; A. M. Spangler, Ed. Progressive Farm¬ 
er, Philadelphia, Pa.; Lee & Redmonds, Eds. Southern Cultiva¬ 
tor, Augusta, Ga.; and Wm. McDougall, Ed. Canadian Agl., 
Toronto, Canada. It gives me pleasure to state that Mr. Davy 
has solicited Mr. S. Howard, of Boston Cultivator, to collect 
pedigrees and illustrations in this country, for the 3d volume, 
and has authorized Mr. H. to obtain information as to any and 
all mistakes which may have been made as to the recording of 
American animals in Davy’s 2d volume, and such corrections 
will be made in the 3d volume. 
The plan proposed is, that the pedigrees and illustrations col¬ 
lected by Mr. Howard, as the Editor in America, shall be for¬ 
warded to Mr. Davy, and a copy of those collected by Mr. Davy 
will be sent to Mr. Howard. The whole matter will be published 
in America for our use, and also in England for their use; by 
which means an American and English Devon Herd Book will 
be united, and the price reasonable, as the expense of English 
printing and duties will be saved. This concert of action has 
been brought about by Mr. Davy’s good feeling and liberality 
towards this country; and I am only the instrument through 
which Mr. Davy acts, and from this time forth Mr. Howard will 
receive all communications on the subject, as will appear by 
reference to his advertisement. 
All editors who will give the above three insertions will re¬ 
ceive a copy of the 1st, 2d, and 3d volumes

|<T NOWLSON’S FARRIER OR HORSE- 
DOCTOR.—The greatest book for the treatment of dis¬ 
eased horses ever printed—containing also valuable hints for 
choosing a good horse, and directions for training horses. By 
J. C. KNOWLSON, F. Q. R. Priced cents. 
This is a plainly written treatise on horses and horse diseases, 
by one of the most eminent English farriers ever known. Mr. 
Knowlson, the author, was none of your theoretical geniuses 
called gentlemen farriers. He was a plain, honest, hard-work¬ 
ing man who doctored the horses with his own hands and his 
own preparations. He treated more than a hundred thousand 
horses in his life time, having practised fifty odd years ; and he 
made a record of each case, so as to judge of other similar cases. 
This is the way he gained his popularity. He died a few years 
ago, leaving e property equal to $150,000 in Yankee money; yet 
he was a hard-working man to the end of his life. This is the 
only Horse-Doctor book that can be lelied on. 
AGENTS WANTED in all parts of the United States and 
Canada, to sell this and other valuable works. Sample copies 
with catalogue of Maps, Books, Charts and Prints sent by mail 
(post-paid) upon receipt of price. Address
