thor OF the "Book Of The Farm, &C., &c. assisted
ny JOHN 7. NoRroN, 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,
ana more than GOO 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,
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 incalculabe 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 sold at as cents EACH or AS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

2 To the Senate and House Of Representatives. ofthe
United Sfqtes 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, 1850, that they 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 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 1he warrants, assun .
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them 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 assisnabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
