A cheaper, but equally valuable book with Downing’s was want¬

We consider it an invaluable addition to our agricultural libraries. 
Wool Grower. 
We predict for it a very rapid sale; it should be in the hands of 
every fruit grower, and especially every nurseryman. It is a very 
cheap book for its price.— Ohio Cultivator. 
It is a most valuable work to all engaged in the culture oi fruit 
trees.—• Utica Herald. 
It is a book of great value.—Genesee Farmer. 
Among all the writers on fruits, we do not know of one who is 
Mr. Thomas’ superior, if his equal, in condensing important matter. 
He gets right at the pith of the thing—he gives you that which you 
wish to know at once; stripped of all useless talk and twattle. No 
man has a keener eye for the best ways of doing things. Hence we 
always look into his writings with the assurance that we shall find 
something new, or some improvements on the old; and we are sel¬ 
dom disappointed. This hook is no exception. It is full. There is 
no vacant space in it. It is like a fresh egg—all good, and packed 
to the shell full .— Prairie Farmer. 
In the volume before us, we have the result of the author’s expe¬ 
rience and observations, continued with untiring perseverance for 
many years, in language at once concise and perspicuous.— Albany 
Cult.

"DEING a Treatise on the Breeding, Raising, and General Man- 
•*-* agement of DOMESTIC FOWLS , with numerous original de¬ 
scriptions, and Portraits from Life. By John C. Bennett, M. D. 
This work will be found to contain a greater amount of original 
and other information, both practical and useful, in regard to Fowl 
Breeding, than is contained in all other American works together. 
Tt will be illustrated with nearly FIFTY PORTRAITS of the most 
choice varieties of American find Foreign Fowls, some forty of 
which are from life, from drawings taken especially for this work, 
of the most important breeds, and se veral of them from Fowls very 
recently imported. 
The publishers have spared no expense to bring out this work in a 
superior manner, both in regard to the engravings, the merits of the 
work, and the general execution of every part of the book. And it is 
believed that the work will be found to contain more Practical Infor¬ 
mation on Breeding and Managing Domestic Fowls , than any work 
issued in this country.

Poudrette. 
THE LODI MANUFACTURING CO., offer their new and im- 
I- proved Poudrette, for sale at their usual rates:—1 bbl. $2—3 
bbls. $5, and $1.50 per bbl. for any quantity over 7 bbls., delivered 
free of expense on board of vessel in New York. At the Factory, 
where vessels drawing 8 feet water can come, it will be sold at 25 
cents per bushel. 
The expense per acre in manuring corn with Poudrette, will 
amount to about $4, calculating 25 cents-per bbl. freight, and all 
the necessary labor included. On land previously manured, or on 
good sward land, one gill to the hill Is sufficient—on poor ground, a 
good crop can be raised by one gill at planting, and one at the las- 
hoeing. The cost of the labor alone in manuring corn in the hill 
with barn yard manure, will amount to more than the first cost o» 
the Poudrette, with freight and all charges added; and the effects of 
Poudrette are quicker, more vigorous, and the corn reaches maturi¬ 
ty earlier. A fair trial, however small, is respectfiilly solicited. 
A pamphlet containing instructions for use, certificates from some 
of the first Agriculturists in the United Stales, and much valuable 
information will be sent gratis, to any one applying (postpaid if by 
letter,) to “ The Loei Manufacturing Company, 66 Dey street, 
New. York.” Feb. 1—4ms.
