W-YORK HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
JUNE EXHIBITION, 
TO BE HELD AT 
CLINTON HALL, ASTOR-PLACE, 
On TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1855. 
Open from 1 till 10 o’clock, P. M. 
An Address will be delivered in the evening by 
WILLIAM C. BRYANT, ESQ. 
Admission to non-members, Twenty-five Cents. 
A favorable juncture having presented itself, the Society 
has determined to augment its Monthly June Exhibition, 
and throw it open to the public at a charge of admission. 
This will take the place of its usual Semi-annual Exhibi¬ 
tion. Through the liberality of some of our friends, we 
are enabled to get up this Exhibition without expense to 
the Society, the prizes being very generously volunteered 
by the gentlemen whose names are annexed. We are 
also greatly indebted to the Young Men’s Christian Asso¬ 
ciation and the Mercantile Library Association, who have, 
in the kindest manner, proffered us free use of their 
Rooms in Clinton Hall, Astor-place, where the Exhibition 
will be held. 
We confidently trust to the well-known spirit of our 
amateurs and florists to make this show one of peculiar 
interest, and would suggest that they bring none but their 
best specimens. It is requested that alt articles be brought 
in by 11 o’clock. We would urge exhibiters to prepare 
beforehand a list of their articles to hand to the Secretary. 
It is important that the articles be correctly labeled, i he 
expense incurred in bringing articles to the Exhibition will 
be paid by the Committee. The Exhibition will open at 
1 o’clock P. M., and close at 10, and will be held under 
the usual Rules of the Society. The awards of the Judges 
will be read off during the evening. For the $3 and $5 
prizes, medals will be given. Prizes of less value maybe 
taken in silver ware of equivalent value, if preferred. For 
articles of merit, not provided for by this list, the Society 
will aw'ard its Diploma, on recommendation of the Judges.

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 trained his popularity. He died a few years 
ago, leaving e property equal to $150,000 in Yankee money; vet 
he was a hard-working man to the end of his life. This is the 
only Horse-Doctnr 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

LITTLE GIANT 
CORN AND COB MILL 
PATENTED 1854. 
T HIS MILL has doubtless attained a more 
sudden celebrity for doing its work with rapidity and ease, 
than any other article of labor-saving machinery ever presented 
to the Agricultural world; the merit of which consists chiefly 
in the peculiar arrangement of first breaking, then crushing and 
crumbling the cob at the center of the mill. Thus lessening the 
strain upon both mill and team, the chief work of crushing be¬ 
ing thrown upon the central parts of the judicious application 
of leverage power. 
For portability, simplicity of construction, and convenience of 
use, the LITTLE GIANT has no equal. It weighs from^hree 
to five hundred pounds, according to size, and can be put in ope¬ 
ration by the farmer in twenty minutes, without expense or 
mechanical aid. 
These MILLS are guaranteed in the most positive manner 
against breakage or derangement, and warranted to grind feed 
from ear corn, and grits or fine hominy from shelled corn, with a 
degree of ease and convenience for farm purposes never attained 
before. 
Will grind from 10 to 15 bushels per hour, according to degree 
of fineness, and can be worked advantageously with one or two 
horses.

er, Philadelphia, Pa.; Lee & Redmonds, Eds. Southern Cultiva¬ 
tor, Augusta, Ga.; and Wm. McDougall, Ed. Canadian Agl., 
Toronto, Canada. It gives me pleasure to slate 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 bv 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 ihrougn 
which Mr Davv acts, and from this time forth Mr Howard will 
receive all cooununications 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
