FARMERS GUIDE.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.
7 EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 54 Gold stree
IL Nep York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and BIackwood' ,
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication Of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND Practical
AGRICULrURE,"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. S., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor Of the "Book Of the Farm," &C., &C.; assisted
by john p. NoRroN, M a, New Haven, Professor
OF Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c. go
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with 1907 90 splendid steel engravings,
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting
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 1t Of incalculabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of 64 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, 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
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative
The EDINBuRcH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH British REVIEW (Free church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Uiberal.)
AND
BLACKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion oftheir contents is devoted political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class.
Biack,oood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this tme 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 "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, "The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be rel
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after It has been issued by IMessrs Scot
g. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.

To m. Senate aud House Of Representatives. qfthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an aiInual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoralsts further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent 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 assignable, and they will ever
pray, DC.
