Woodpeckers in the Cornfield, by D. H. J.,... Cultivating and Pruning Hedges, Experiments with Superphosphate of Lime and other Manures for Corn, by LEVI BARTLETT, 361 362 862 THE ILLUSTRATED Annual REGISTER OF RURAL Affairs A GOOD RURAL ANNUAL.-We are in receipt of "The Illustrated Annual Register of Rural Affairs and Cultivator Almanac for 1861" -a handsome and well filled work of 144 262 pages-published by LUTHER TUCKER & SON, Albany. A 363 few days since we received an order for several hundred copies of a work of this character-the writer supposing us to be 367 the publisher. We would therefore state that we only pub36 lish the Rural New-Yorker, but can commend the above 370 work as the best of the kind within our knowledge.-Rural 870 New-Yorker. 365 3 369 371 372 373 373 374 374 375 376 We most heartily commend this beautiful little manual to the attention and patronage of our farmer friends in Maine. It contains an almost incredible amount of valuable information on farming and gardening, as well as other subjects, copiously illustrated with appropriate engravings.-Me. Farmer. This is the seventh number of the series, and to persons who have seen the preceding numbers, we need only say that this is fully equal to any, if indeed, it is not the best of all. 377 In the "Hints for the Month," the author has given a new proof of his faculty of expressing much in small space and 378 few words. There are articles on Working Men's Cottages, 379, 380 Poultry, Weeds and their destruction, either of which is worth much more than the cost of the work, that being only twentyfive cents.-Boston Cultivator. 376 375 The Dairy and other Stock on Mr. D.'s Farm,.. 378 378 379 379 380 378 367 367 367 369 370 The Register for 1861 is even an improvement on its predecessors. The chapters on Working Men's Cottages, and on weeds, and the hints for each month, are very good.-The Homestead. Number Seven of this valuable annual has just made its appearance, and those who have possessed its predecessors will 372 not do without this. From the examination we have given it, we think it more valuable than those of former years. It contains a complete calendar for each month, with concise and 371 appropriate hints for the same. No practical agriculturist or horticulturist who has a particle of enthusiasm for his vocation, can afford to do without this work. We have not the space to notice its various valuable features, but the reader by enclosing twenty five cents to the publishers, can secure it with its 140 engravings and its OMESTICATED DEER-numerous pithy and timely hints.-The Congregationalist.
