bring for exhibition hereat portions of your stock,
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good, if not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to gaantly enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself:
| And while we address you to bring such article
as are properly in your department, we crave

,pucs and daughters TO bring whatever apper

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.


+ EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL .Nsp York, continue to publish the four lead
Ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; IN addition to which they have recent
y commenced the publication Of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
FARMER s GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrucAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, +. Il. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &c. assisted
by JOHN L. NORTON, Nj "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 10 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,
haymg, 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 incaculable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least TWENTY-FIVE
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
HE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservatlve),
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRTH BRiTlsH REVIEW (Free church,,
HE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLACKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedy far above all other journals ofiheir class.
Blacktcood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is at this time unusually attractive from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as s'The Caxtons" and "My
Medal, ""The Green Hand, - and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Blackwood after il has been issued by JMessrs. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
