Elements of Scientific Agriculture, or the connection between 
Science and the Art of Practical Farming. (Prize Essay of the 
New-York State Agricultural Society.) By John P. Norton, M. 
A., Prof. Scientific Agriculture in Yale College. 12mo. cloth, 
extra. 
Brief extracts from a few of the many testimonials: 
We agree with the Report of the Committee of the New-York 
State Agricultural Society, and our friends in the neighboring states, 
and commend this work to the attention of Farmers and Teachers in 
Canada.— Toronto Globe, Jan., 1851. 
Of” At a meeting of the Regents of the University, in October 
last, it was 
On motion, resolved, that the study of Agricultural Chemistry, be 
deemed one of the higher branches of English Education, and that 
it be so recognized in the annual distribution of the amount granted 
to academies. 
Resolved, That the committee on the establishment of Common 
School Departments in Academies, of which the Secretary of State 
is chairman, be instructed to inquire, whether this study should not 
be required of all studenls in said departments. 
The Proceedings of the St. Johns Agricultural Society of the Bri¬ 
tish Province of New-Brunswick, show that they have procured 
1,000 copies, for distribution among the Agricultural Societies of that 
Province. 
The subject is very ably discussed, and elucidated in clear and 
comprehensive language, such as would not discourage the young 
inquirer, nor dissatisfy the adept in such branches of scientific re¬ 
search. The task is well done, and we feel indebted to Prof. Norton 
for opening another pleasant avenue to agricultural knowledge and 
practice.— Maine Farmer. 
This work is published under the immediate auspices of the New- 
York State Agricultural Society, and is a full, complete, and compre¬ 
hensive exposition of the fundamental principles of practical and sci¬ 
entific agriculture. We trust it may find its way into every School 
District Library in the state— District School Journal. 
Our high expectations have been fully met. Prof. Norton, has a 
common sense way ,of presenting the various topics connected with 
agricultural science, and it is to the common sense of every man that 
his conclusions commend themselves. Would that every farmer in 
Michigan were in possession of this book.— Michigan Farmer. 
There is not a printed book in the Union which could have been 
more acceptable. We are but novices in the great art of agriculture, 
and any thing that will give us light, we hail with gratitude and plea¬ 
sure. We shall, from time to time, give our readers extracts from 
the work.— Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer. 
We doubt not the judgment of the New-York State Agricultural 
Society, who awarded to it its prize, will be fully confirmed by the 
community.— The New-Englander. 
We should be happy to see it introduced into all the schools, and 
the family of every farmer in this country.— Canadian Agricultu¬ 
rist. 
Its language is plain, its illustrations simple. It is a work for the 
farmer, and "the farmer should read it, and teach it to his children.— 
Genesee Former. 
Orders from County Societies, Schools, and individuals, invited. 
Liberal terms offered, where considerable quantities are ordered.

The Mambrino Horse Washington. 
T HIS Celebrated Horse will stand the present season at North Fer- 
risburgh, Addison County, Yt. Washington was bred by John 
Thorn of Washington, Dutchess County, N. Y.—is a beautiful dark 
bay, over 16 hands, well proportioned, having great action, and pos¬ 
sessing a great share of bone and sinew. Washington was got by 
Mambrino Paymaster, and Mambrino Paymaster by Mambrino, and 
Mambrino Paymaster’s Dam by the imported Horse Messenger. 
Washington’s dam by Mount Holley, grand-dam by True Britton, 
Mount Holley by the imported Horse Messenger, and dam by Baga- 
zette. It will be readily perceived that Washington combines the 
best blood ever imported to th : s continent, and is adjudged to possess 
more good points and symmetry of proportion, than any other horse 
of his age, having taken the First Premium at the Dutchess County 
Agricultural Fair, in the fall of 1847, and the First Premium at the 
Addison County Fair last fall, on a field of eleven stallions, most of 
which were the stock of the original Black Hawk. All who are de 
sirous of raising high-priced horses, are requested to call and examii.
