This is a combination of capitalists to supply the consum¬

principle 
We have experienced agents in all the best districts of 
China and Japan to select Teas especially for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas to render us all the 
assistance they can in carrying out our enterprise, as we 
make a specialty of SUPPLYING CONSUMERS ONLY 
(and allow no middlemen to make any profit on our impor¬ 
tations), which will enable us to supply them with Teas 
prices lower than have ever been known, and of those fine 
qualities that seldom reach the interior, being sold only in 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will take an interest in our enter¬ 
prise, and send at once for a circular with full explanations 
of how to proceed to obtain our goods, we remain,

Their History, Breeding, and Management. 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN, 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable hj r every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and lias enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
tlie leaves. 
NEW AMERICAN FARM BOOR. 
Originally by RICHARD )L. ALLEN. 
Revised and greatly enlarged 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
Allen’s American Farm Book has been one oLthe standard 
farmers’hand-books for twenty years; it isstnl a valuable 
book,but not up to the times; and as its author, Mr. R.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
his brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the Few American Farm Book. 
Agricultural Chemical Analysis. 
After E. "Wolff, Presenilis, Krocker and Others. 
Edited by G. C. CALDWELL, 
OP CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.00. 
In tills work Professor Caldwell has brought together the 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers. animals and plants, and their products. He has tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but bis book shows that he has not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, hut has 
given much of his own experience.
