To The Senate and House Of Representatives ofihs
TJu;f,d States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the &C,
of 3sh of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be-
thai thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that Il patented to them. the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands are not competen, 10 act for themselves,
yhercnr MANY Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignnbIe, and they will ever
pray. &c.

thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &c, &C.; assisted
by JOHN I. MORTON, M "A, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | 400
pages, with l8 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haylng, harvesting, DC, &C., the various domes-
TIC animals IN their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render II of incalculabe value to the student
| Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and s sold 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
