This highly valuable work will comprise two

pages, with l6 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravngs on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every

haying, harvesting, &C., &c, the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in Short
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, IS for
