HORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some othei-.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 Hone. In “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose flour,'but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for. use. Send for pam-

Grape Vines $ also choice plants of all

We offer for fall trade a large and choice stock of all the 
leading varieties of grape vines, including Iona, Israella, 
Delaware, Concord, &c., and the new varieties, Martha 
and Walter. 
We have also a good stock of one, two, and tliree-year- 
old vines of the 
1UMELAM G1AFE, 
which Dr. C. W. Grant esteems to be the most valuable varie¬ 
ty ever yet introduced. It is an early, black grape, of first 
quality, equaling either Delaware or Iona for richness as a 
table fruit, and makes red wine superior to Norton’s Vir¬ 
ginia, or any other American grape. 
Ripening as early as Hartford Prolific, and being entirely 
hardy, it can be successfully grown in northern latitudes, 
and will be of great value everywhere as an early market 
grape. 
Regarding the quality of Hie fruit, 
THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST GAYS,: , * 
“ We saw the fruit before the stork of vines was purchased 
by Dr. Grant, and regard it as an excellent and very early 
sort, with more character than is usually to be found in 
early grapes.” 
"Whoever has success with the Concord vine may, plant the 
Eumelan with full assurance that grapes of surpassing ex¬ 
cellence may be obtained by using an average degree of 
skill in cultivation. Tile Eumelan vines we offer are grown 
from mature wood taken from tlie original stock, all of 
which is under our control, the old vines standing in our 
own grounds. To insure securing the genuine p ants, all 
parties should send direct to us, or to our authorized agents. 
Madison, "Wisconsin, Aug. 3d, 1859. 
Messrs. Hasbbouck & Busiinell, 
Gentlemen : The Eumelan sent me by Dr. Grant is now 
on its second year’s growth, making a good show of fruit, 
and a masterly growth of Wood. I must say, thus far, I have 
never cared for a vine which more fully “fills the bill.” 
The characteristics generally ascribed to it seem to be fully 
developed here, and after passing through the severest trial 
of winter the vine lias ever sustained in this locality, it now 
manifests more vigor than any variety I have ever handled. 
Very respectfully, "WM. BROOKS. 
North East, Pa., Aug. 5tli, 1869. 
Messrs. Hasbrouck & Busiinell, 
Gents: The two Eumelan vines bad of C. W. Grant, in 
the spring of 1808, have made a good growth, and are entire¬ 
ly healthy. One of the vines set five hunches of fruit this 
'Spring. The five hundred Eumelan vines purchased lor the 
South Shore "Wine Co. last spring have grown well, aud are 
doing better than any other vines planted by me, of same 
age. Respectfully yours. 
JOHN E. MOTTIER, 
Supt. Soutli Shore Wine Co. 
From the thousands of Eumelan vines sent out, the reports 
are in entire harmony with the foregoing. 
We are prepared to supply a limited slock of well-matured 
Eumelan wood for grafting and for general propagation.

THE PRACTICAL 
POULTRY KEEPER. 
A COMPLETE AND STANDARD GUIDE TO THE 
MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY, 
FOR DOMESTIC USE, THE MARKETS, OR 
EXHIBITION. 
Ueantifully Illustrated. 
By L. WRIGHT. 
NOTICES BY TIIE PRESS.' 
This book is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at once the plain 
poulterer who must make the business pay, and the chick¬ 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
bright birds. The most valuable portion is the first sec¬ 
tion, extending through fifty-five pages. These were writ¬ 
ten with the intention of producing a manual so plain, 
mintitb, and practical, that any one could, by using it as a 
guide, with no previous experience with poultry, become 
at once successful in producing eggs, young chickens, and 
fat fowls for market. The author has not missed his aim. 
The middle parts of Mr. Wright’s Manual are taken lip 
with minute directions for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of the good and bad points, of the dif¬ 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Then follows a 
section on artificial hatching, and another, worth special 
attention, on large poultry yards.:..A study of Mr. 
Wright’s book will convince any farmer’s wife that all 
she needs is to give a half hour each day, of intelligent 
and sagacious attention to her poultry, in order to obtain 
from them, not tape, and knitting needles, and buttons, 
and nutmegs merely, hut the family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, aud cloth. Neiv York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on the mat¬ 
ters of which it treats yet published. It will he found a 
plain and sufficient guide to any one in any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farmers' Cabinet. 
This is a reprint, with numerous wood engravings, of 
an English book, the object of which is to convey in 
plain language a great deal of practical information about 
the breeding and management of poultry, whether for 
domestic use, the markets, or exhibition_The book is 
eminently practical, and we recommend it to farmers and 
others interested in breeding and selling poultry. 
Philadelphia Press. 
It is a handsome volume, brought out in the best, style, 
and enriched with near fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
the fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl¬ 
edge of fowls, and will be found a plain and sufficient 
guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
as a profitable business. United Presbyterian. 
The subject is treated fully and ably by an experienced 
hand, and the volume will doubtless find a large sale 
among the growing class of poultry fanciers. It is em¬ 
bellished with numerous illustrative engravings.

Tlie author has called to his aid all who were experi¬

and exhaustiveness. Tlochester Democrat.
