A TREATISE ON MILCH COWS,

Whereby the Quality and Quantity of Milk which any Cow will give may be accurately determined, by observing Natural Marks or External Indications alone; the length of time she will continue to give Milk, &c. &c By M. Francis Guénon, of Libourne, France. Translated for The Farmers' Library by N. P. Trist, Esq. with Introductory Remarks and Observations on THE COW AND THE DAIRY, by J. S. Skinner, Editor of The Farmers Library, Illustrated with numerous Engravings.

Price for single copies, neatly done up in paper covers, 374 cents. Library edition, full bound in cloth and lettered, 62 cents. The usual discount to Booksellers, Agents, Country Merchants and Peddlers.

This extraordinary Book has excited the attention of the ablest agriculturists of the country. The Publishers have received nomerous testimonials as to the usefulness and accuracy of Guenon's Theory. The practical remarks and the useful information contained in the first part of the Book are worth more to any Farmer than the whole cost.

Since the days of Doctor Jenner's discovery of vaccination, or the Cow-pox, being an antidote to the small-pox, nothing has appeared so extraordinary in that department of Natural History as the discovery of M. GUENON, the son of a French gardeuer, of a mean of ascertaining the quality of Milch Cows by external and visible signs over the milk region of the animal.

The signs have been reduced to a clear system, and by Committees of various Agricultural Societies in France Pronounced "infallible," after repeated and most careful trials.

The work was translated by Mr. TRIST of the State Department, and published with numerous engravings explanatory of the system, first in THE FARMERS LIBRARY. But the Publishers, not wishing to withhold a discovery so important and valuable from the poo, est person owning, or wishing to own, a Cow, have published it in a separate and cheap form.

At a meeting of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, held at the Legislative Hall, in Boston

Mr. BROOKS made some remarks on the ability of their united report was in favor of the high value any one to distinguish the qualities of a Cow by of the work. One of them went so far as to say examination. He had a very high opinion of a that a farmer keeping 20 Cows could well afford to French work by Guénon, recently translated and give $100 for this Treatise of Guénon, if it could not published in The Farmers' Library, by Mr. Skinner, be obtained at less cost.

select his stock with almost infallible certainty. Guénon's Treatise, and thought its introduction Mr. FRENCH expressed his entire confidence in He believed he could tell, within a few quarts, among our farmers was destined to work an entire what a Cow would yield of milk, and within a few revolution. He mentioned the difficulties which pounds what she would yield of butter. He had Guénon encountered in getting his work into no not missed in more than 10 instances out of between tice in France. For some time none of the Agri300 and 400 trials. He had known one Cow that cultural Societies would give any heed to his sugwas not dry for fourteen years, and had calves every year.

Mr. DENNY fully accorded with Mr. Brooks in his estimate of the Treatise on Cattle by Guenon. He had tested its value by distributing a number of copies among intelligent, practical farmers, and

gestions; but when, at length, one of them was induced to put Guénon to the test, they were perfectly astonished at the accuracy with which he applied his rules for determining the milk-giving qualities of a Cow.

From a number of letters from different parts we select the following:

PRINCETON, Mass. October 15, 1846. | I return to you my sincere thanks for giving to I have examined more than one hundred Cows, us farmers this valuable Treatise of M Guenon's. and after carefully marking their escutcheons, II shall hereafter make my selection of the calves I have become satisfied that M.

The way taken to convince myself of the truth of M. Guénon's method has been to visit the cowyards of some of our principal dairy farmers, and examine the escutcheons upon calves as early as two or three weeks old, and I see no reason why their value as future milkers may not be judged of at this age as well as as at any other age. Yours, respectfully JOHN BROOKS. To J. S. SKINNER, Esq. Ed. of The Farmers' Lib.

EAST WINDSOR HILL, Ct. Dec. 19, 1846. Dear Sir: Having had some experience in raisiug Cows, and having had my attention particularly called to their milking properties, 1 waa pleased to find a Treatise on the subject, by M. Guénon, of Libourne, in France-published by you a few months since, which I procured and carefully studied; and I think the book worthy of more attention than I believe it has reeeived from the public in this quarter.

PATERSON, N. J. December 19, 1846. Dear Sir: I have read, with great satisfaction, I have found that his escutcheons, or marks of M. Guénon's work on Milch Cows, by which one the particular classes and orders of Cows, to agree can judge by certain infallible signs the milking with nearly all I have had an opportunity to exqualities of the animal.
