IIORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, btscajit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast.it contains no POISON 
to create DY'SPEPSIA, 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 “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose the dour, but adds nutriment to tlie bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and 1 quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for “ Horsford’s 
Bread Preparation." WILSON. LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

“MAPLE SHADE FLOCK” 
THOROUGH-BRED C0TSW0LD SHEEP. 
This justly-celebrated flock was selected from the flocks 
of the moat noted breeders in England, by John D. Wing, 
Esq., of Washington Hollow, N. Y., who gave personal at¬ 
tention to its collection, with reference to the best wool- 
producing and mutton qualities. It is pronounced by com¬ 
petent judges to be the finest flock in America; and the 
present leader, “ Champion of England” and some of the 
ewes, are believed to equal the best in any country. 
The wool is long, fine, and lustrous, yielding from 8 to 20 
pounds per head. They are lull and square-bodied, very 
strong in the loins, and weigh from 200 to 300 pounds at ma¬ 
turity—sometimes exceeding even this weight. They arc 
hardy and vigorous, and for breeding pure or crossing with 
other breeds, are believed to promise more profit than any 
other sheep. The wool is in good demand at remunerative 
prices, and the thorough-bred rams crossed witli any other 
sheep produce a good combing wool, and lambs of such 
size as bring a large price early in the season in market. 
Every sheep at present in the “ Maple Shade Flock” was 
either imported or bred direct from imported sire and dam, 
and lias a perfect pedigree. 
This flock took the first prizes in the long wool classes at 
the New York State and Dutchess Co. Fairs, in 1807 and 1369. 
Having purchased of Mr. Wing his Ent ire Flock, we 
oiler for sale Choice Ewes, Rams and Lambs.

NOTICES BY T1IE l'UESS. 
This hook is a valuable manual for everybody tvho 
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 lor gay plumage, and strange, 
blight birds. The most valuable portion is the first sec¬ 
tion, extending through lil'ty-fivc pages. These were writ¬ 
ten with the intention of producing a manual so plain, 
minute, and practical, that any one could, by using it as a 
guide, witli no previous experience with poultry, become 
at once successful in producing eggs, young chickens, and 
fatfowlsfor market. The author has not missed his aim. 
The middle parts of Mr. Wright’s Manual are taken up 
with minute directions for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of the good and had points of the dif¬ 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock ns 
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 hook 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, but the family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, and cloth. New York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on the mat¬ 
ters of which it treats yet published. It will be found a 
plain and sufficient guide to anyone in any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farmers' Cabinet.

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 nearly fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
tlie fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl¬ 
edge of fowls, and will be found a plain and sufficient 
gukle 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.

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