A Manual of Instructions 
For capturing all kinds of fur-bearing 
animals, and curing tlieir skins ; witH 
observations on tlie fur trade, bints 
on life in tlie woods, and narra¬ 
tives of trapping and limiting 
excursions. 
By S. NEWHOTJgE, 
And oilier Trappers and Sportsmen. 
Edited by the Oneida Community. 
21G Pages Octavo. 
With 32 full page Illustrations, and numerous 
smaller Engravings. 
This book is designed for practical working men, who 
make, or propose to make, trapping a means of livelihood. 
Mr. Newhouse, having become widely known ns the 
manufacturer of an excellent kind of steel trap, and it 
being generally understood that the practical perfection 
of his traps is owing to the wisdom in wood-craft which 
he gained in early life by actual experience in trapping, 
has often been applied to for information in regard to 
the best methods of capturing various animals. The 
most convenient way to answer such applications seemed 
to he to put his wisdom in print. In preparing for pub¬ 
lication the material furnished by him for this purpose, 
the editors found new fads, inquiries, and written con¬ 
tributions relating to trapping and kindred pursuits, 
crowding upon them; until tlie original idea of a small 
pamphlet swelled to the dimensions of the present work.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jn., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAI1J3FUI,LT REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
Tun Plant ; Tun Soil ; Manures ; Mechanical Cul¬ 
tivation ; Analysis. 
Tlie foregoing subjects are all discussed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmer’s hoy may understand. 
Tlie book is written by a successful .practical farmer < and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound doctrine 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: “Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen¬ 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in tlie book ; its 254 fair, 
open pages may be read in the course of two evenings 
and thoroughly studied in the leisure hours of a week ; 
and we pity the man or boy, however old or young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise that 
lie will not learn something of value from its perusal; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that he cannot generally 
understand it; and no farmer or farmer’s son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before.”
