ready for use, nnd protected from loss or injury by eva¬ 
poration or breakage. Sent, post-paid, on receipt of 75c. 
A TROCHAR 
FOR 
Cattle-Men. 
In June of last year we 
gave illustrations of a Tro- 
chur and Cannula to be used 
in ringing a bull, and on 
page 13 (January) and page 
97 (March) of the current 
volume have described the 
use of this apparatus in re¬ 
lieving hoven in cattle. 
These articles have brought 
out a large demand for 
Trochars, and failing to find 
just the right kind among 
the makers of surgical im¬ 
plements, we have induced 
an establishment to under¬ 
take their manufacture. We 
give our engraving of last 
year with the Trochar modi¬ 
fied and improved as to the 
point.’' These articles are 
now in the trade, and may 
be had of most dealers in 
agricultural implements. 
Those who can not get them 
from dealers can receive 
them from this office, post¬ 
paid, for $1.00.

THE YOUNG- 
HOUSEKEEPER’S FRIEUD. 
By MRS. CORNELIUS. 
REVISED AND ENLARGED. 
Tlie aim of the writer of this work lias been to furnish to 
young housekeepers the best aid that a book can give in the 
departments of which it treats. No printed guide can per¬ 
fectly supply the place of that experience which is gained 
by early and habitual attention to domestic concerns. But 
the directions hero given are so minuto and practical, that 
tlie observance of them will prevent very many of tlie per¬ 
plexities which most young people suffer during their first 
years of married life. 
Tlie recipes, witli very few exceptions, are furnished from 
tlie author’s own experience, or that of her immediate 
friends. An ample variety is given for furnishing the table 
of any American family; but especial reference lias been 
had to those who have neither poverty nor riches; and such 
directions have been given as will enable a housekeeper to 
provide a good and healthful table, or, if desired, a hand¬ 
some one, at a moderate expense. 
How well tlie author lias succeeded is manifest from tlie 
very great favor with which past editions, through a period 
of twenty-five years, have been received. And now, in this 
new edition, she has rendered the book more than ever 
worthy of patronage, by a thorough revision, the omission 
of a few recipes of least value, the addition of full direc¬ 
tions for Canning Fruits, and more than One Hun¬ 
dred anil Fifty New Recipes which have been 
tested by experienced housekeepers. While tlie lessons of 
economy tauglit by the late war have not been forgotten, 
the author lias well met tlie demands of the present customs 
of society far a greater variety of dishes than used to be 
thought requisite for tlie ample supply of the family table.
