o. The COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE for February
contains another admirable Illustration OF one Of
Coopers scenes, with other cngravngs
o. TnE FARNEH's LIBRARY AND MoNrnLY
JOURNAL OF AGRfCULTURE for January maintains
the high reputation which this admirable work has
acquired. Among the articles is novelty, which
nine-entlls of the lirmcrs VIII be apt to set down
as humbug at first sight: it is an announcement
and preface to a "trcatisc on milch cows, whereby
the quality and quantity Of milk which any COW
will give may be accurately determined by obscr-
wing natural marks, or external indications alone
the length of time she will continue TO give milk,
&c. SC, by NJ. Francis Guenon, France" We
say that nine tcnths Of the farmers will laugh at
this announcement; but the tenth man will try III.
experiment., and perchlncc convince the unbcev-
ing. The experiment has been tried successfully,
and the next number of the Farmers Monthly
Journal will reveal the secret. If successful this
discovery is of great Importance to Vermont far
mcrs. BY the way, we arc glad to see now and
