JIORSFOMFS SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast. It contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos¬ 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In “ railing" the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose flour, hut adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains lull directions for use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for “ Horsford’s 
Bread Preparation.” WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

American Farm Book. 
ORIGINALLY by 
R. L. ALLEN, 
Autliw of “ Diseases of Domestic Animals," and formerly 
editw of the “ American Agricultmist." 
REVISED AND ENLARGED BY 
LEWIS F. ALLEN, 
Author of “American Cattle," editoi' of the "American 
Short-horn Herd Book," etc. 
NOTICES BY' THE PRESS. 
Everything connected with the business of farming 
finds a place in it; soils, manures of every kind, irriga¬ 
tion and draining, grasses, grain and root crops, fruits, 
cotton, hemp, fences, farm buildings, domestic cattle, 
sheep, poultry, and the like. The work has been written 
with great care by men qualified to discuss the subject, 
and it is really valuable. The chapter on soils should he 
read carefully by every farmer who desires to make the 
most of the land he cultivates. The chapter on fruits 
constitutes an important feature of the work; and there 
is nothing in it which is not well considered and useful. 
Worcester Daily Spy. 
Comprehensive and careful, telling, and telling specif¬ 
ically, just what the tillers of the soil need to know, it 
will prove of great advantage to all who faithfully follow 
its counsels in the spirit in whicli they are given. 
Congregationalist & Beco/'der. 
It intelligently and quite fully discusses the various 
operations of farm life, and is invaluable to all engaged 
in agriculture. Farmer's Cabinet. 
For the young man of rural tastes, hut without a train¬ 
ing at the plow-handles, who asks for a general guide and 
instructor that shall he to agriculture what the map of 
the world is to geography, it is the best manual in print. 
For the working farmer, who in summer noonings and 
by the winter fireside would refresh his convictions and 
reassure his knowledge by old definitions and well-con¬ 
sidered summaries, it is the most convenient hand-book. 
From its double authorship one might expect some show 
of patch-work,’ the original statement of the author of 
1846, annotated and qualified by the writer of this year. 
But this has been wisely avoided. The hook is a unit, 
and shows no disparity of style nor contradiction ‘ in 
statement. Practically it is altogether a recent and time¬ 
ly volume. Only so much of the original Book of the 
Farm, by R. L. Allen, as time could not change, has been 
adopted by the reviser. Neiv Yoi'k Tribu 
It is a volume of over five hundred pages, and it its 
present shape comprises all that can well he condensed 
into an available volume of its kind. 
Hartford Daily Tmes. 
It is almost as comprehensive as a cyclopaedia. We 
can safely recommend it as a valuable and standard work. 
Salem Gaz te. 
It has a very wide range of subjects, taking up early 
all matters that are most important to farmers. Com¬ 
prising the combined wisdom and experience of two em¬ 
inent agriculturists, it must prove of great value to UK- 
class for whom it is prepared. New York Obslrven. 
It is crammed full of just the information that is want¬ 
ed, which it is a pleasure to recommend. We 1 of 
no better encyclopedia of farming. 
New. York Independent. 
In its present revised and enlarged form, it i.- work 
that every practical farmer may consult with advantage, 
and none can well afford to do without, 
Christian Intelligencer. 
It is something in favor of this work that it lias been 
before the public for many years. The original work was 
prepared with extraordinary care, and contained a vast 
amount of general’ truth that is as applicable now as it 
was then ; "it lias therefore been made the basis of the 
present work, which, to all intents and purposes, is new, 
since it is adapted to the present improved state of agri¬ 
cultural knowledge. Every department is prepared with 
conscientious care and with a view of making the work 
a reliable source of agricultural information.
