The Puritan Recorder, Boston, thus notices this work : 
“We cannot conceive of a plan of a hook better adapted 
for utility to all the purposes of the Farmer than this. It 
is to him what a book of architectural plans is to the 
Builder. It paints to the eye everything with which the 
Farmer has to do ; and there is hardly any subject of 
practical interest to the Farmer which is not here treated 
and practically illustrated.” 
This we think is tl e best book yet published, for School 
District and Town Libraries, as well as for Premiums to 
be awarded by Agricultural and Horticultural Societies.

The Best Newspaper in New-England. 
THE 
Springfield Weekly Repuhlicaii. 
BY SAMUEL BOWLES 8c COMPANY. 
Published every Saturday for $1.50 a Year. 
T HIS Journal has won a national reputation for its ex¬ 
cellence as a general Family Newspaper and its high 
Political and Literary character. Published in the heart 
of New-England ; on a larger sheet and with a greater 
amount of matter than the Boston weeklies ; with a day’s 
later news than the New-York and Boston weeklies of the 
same date ; representing more faithfully than those jour¬ 
nals can, or profess to do, the distinguishing principles of 
New-England, in morals, politics and religion ; and made 
up with especial reference to the tastes and wants of New- 
England families, whether settled in their original homes, 
or transplanted to distant portions of the Union— The Re¬ 
publican presents more attractive features for a general 
circulation than any other New-England paper. 
It is the only newspaper in New-England published on 
a large quarto sheet—eight *pages of six columns—like the 
New-York Tribune and Times. It contains, each week, 
full Summaries of the local news of New-England — A 
Review of the Markets and Monetary Affairs—A Summa¬ 
ry of Religious Intelligence — A Letter from Boston, by 
one of the most brilliant writers connected with the Press 
— An Agricultural Column — Editorials on the Various 
Topics of the Week—Original and Selected Tales, Poetry, 
Miscellany, &c. ; in all over forty solid columns of Read¬ 
ing in each number. 
The Republican is under the editorial charge of Samuel 
Bowles, with whom are associated Dr. J. G. Holland, 
author of the History of Western Massachusetts and 
“The Bay Path,” and several other experienced writers. 
TERMS.—One copy, eight months, $1; one year, $1.50 ; 
sixteen months,$2. Two copies, one year, $3 ; eight copies 
$10; and twenty copies $20 ; with one copy extra to the 
getter-up of the club in either of the two last cases. For 
forty copies one year, $40, and the Daily Republican extra 
for the getter-up of the club. Bank bills current in the 
capital of any State received at par. 
The Daily Republican, conducted by the same parties,

day — Foreign and Domestic —simultaneously with the 
New-York journals, and presented in a much more conve¬ 
nient and readable style. Five copies of the Daily are 
sent to one address one year for $22.50 ; ten copies, $40. 
No subscription received without the cash in ad¬ 
vance, and the paper is discontinued when the period of
