illustrated '0ith SIXTY five original portraits.
The rearing, breedng and best means Of treating domestic
fowls has long been subject of considerable interest with
farmers Within the last few years this interest has been
the increase and more attention is consequently paid to the
poultry yard And indeed this should be So since nothing

outlay OF time or money, add any thing the enoyens

entitled 10 great praise, and substantial rewards into
the bargain. Such has been the work performed by the
writer Of the book now before He deserves, and ought
to receive the thanks Of every lover of good fat capon
that he has received somewhat Of that substantial
don is evident from the fact that this is second edition.
The book s full of excellent advice, and fail read
rs il should be all classes Of the community, bring about
great improvement in the breeding and rearing of poultry
Il commences with rather curious snd interesting his
tory OF the origin and progress Of domestic fowl and contains
many very excellent plates portraits Of specimens Of the diff
feen breeds Of fowls already introduced into this country
There is item Of information contained in this book it
may not be amiss to mention here The author tells
that four Of land devoted to the rearing Of the best
varieties Of poultry, will prices be quite az pro-
ducve farm Of so cultivated in the ordinary way"
This encouraging and proven to be true by the most
convincing array of facts and figures. "To make poultry
profitable says the author, t is only necessary that the
better kinds be bred FROM that suitable places be provided for
them, that they be properly fed and carefully and ntegeny
managed y and in this volume taught how these
things may be combined 1t has been ascesned that the
proceeds Of eggs and poultry sold in the United States
amount twenty millions of dollars and il will only
consider for moment how many people there who make
the other of these good things part Of their daily food
this estimate will not be thought too large
We trust have said enough to show that the treatise
before is of great importance TO every member Of the
community is well edited and printed, and we trust will
be generally patronized.

Brazilian Government seem now really serious in
their endeavors to suppress the slave trade. Seve

Of the most prominent has been obliged to leave
the country. Il is declared that the slave-trade
shall be considered piracy and that the captain Of
any vessel engaged in the trade shall be punished
with death. IF the Government continue as firm as
now in the attitude they have assumed, the slave
trade will be speedily abolished, and that eectuay
