' ,x; v, > * " i ' -v THE SOUTHERN GARDENER AND RECEIPT HOOK. This is the title of a neat littlo volume, of 330 pages, by our industrious fellow townsman, Mr. P. Thornton. It is an elegantly printed book, in em. bossed binding, and handsomely lettered. Its con. tents cannot fail, we think, to be valuable and interesting to every Southern planter an<^ farmer; in. deed, from the hasty perusal, which wc have beon able to give its pages, we should suppose that every family ought to bo in possession of a work of this kind, for the pnrpose of reference, in any case of emergency. Tire work is divided into five parts, the first of which is devoted to instructions in relation to the management of a Kitchen Garden. The author's experience, in this department, admirably qualifies him for speaking on this subject, and his directions will, no doubt, be found.highly useful to those who are fond of the luxuries, which arc to be obtained from a well cultivated garden. The remainder of tlio volume contains, under appropriate heads, a collection of valuable receipts for cookery, the preservation of fruits and other articles of household consumption, and also for tlio cure of diseases. The last item is divided into two distinct branches, the first of which is devoted to furnishing remedies for the most common diseases among men, and will pro?c valuable in many in. stances, when the immediate attention of a physician cannot be had, as is frequently the case in our sparsely settled country. An efficiontrcmedy promptIy applied, may often save life, or ptfvent a protracted attack of indisposition, which might follow, if its application was delayed till medical advice could be had. The second branch is devoted to receipts for the cure of diseases and common distempers incident to horses, cattle, calves, swine, sheep, and all the animals usual about a farm, and concluding with a few brief bints as to the caro and management of stock in the winter. - Wo havo scarcely ever seen so a largo an amount of Information on such a variety of subjects, in so small a space; information too, especially calculated for our farmers, who have not the leisure to wade through the many voluntas which have been written on these various subjects, to get at the pre. cise knowledge which they desired. The receipts generally, with the exception of those in the Gardeners department, have been selected with great care from the most approved authors, and from those agricultural works throughout the country, which are acknowledged to be conducted with the greatest ability. The author and compiler, has had access to the best works on the subjects on which his book* treat.*, and has given us in a small compass, what may be termed the essence of the whole. Wo have oflen thought it would bo a valuable acquisition if some one, who had leisure, would select from die great mass of receipts and instructions, wlncli arc wceitiy iteming iroiu mo pioau, uiir? them, which on trial, should be found to be eminently useful; and we doubt not, from the great care and attention which has been bestowed on the " Southern Gardener and Receipt Book, "that it will be found precisely to fill this vacuum in the farmera ' library. The Book may be had at the Post Office? price $1. JUST PUBLISHED, By P. Thornton, and for sale at the Post Office, Camden, a new work called the &OT7TEEF1T GAF.DB1TSE A nd Receipt Book, IN several departments, all bound together, making a volume *>f 300 pages, arranged in the following manner:?First ffnmtnAnoirfs ivilH Dirpfiinns |Uer.U..V...V?....u 6 . for Gardening, containing Instructions for Working a Kitchen Garden, alphabetically arranged. As the author has devoted much of his ! lime and attention to gardening for upward of twenty years past, and has taken pains to make the instructions plain and simple; and this being his third edition on gardening, he has made some additions and alterations?so that no family, who is fond of the comforts of a good garden, should be without a copy. The time for sowing and planting is calculated to answer for Camden and the adjacent country for thirty or forty miles; but in a southerly and westerly direction it may answer double the distance. The second department contains about one hundred and twenty receipts in the cooking department, selected from some of the best late authors The third department contains upward i of one hundred receipts in the household department, and oihor domestic matters, very useful-, with an index.The fourth depai tmenl contains upward of one hundred valuable receipts on tfye cure and prevention of diseases incident to mankind, carefully selected from the most approred public works. The fifth department contains nearly one hundred articles on farriery, and the diseases incident to horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c., selected from the best late works. The whole made plain and simnlp. and necomnanied with an index, al phabeticafly arranged. As the author was several months carefully selecting his receipts and matter, and has-published no article but such as he thinks will be valuable and useful, he is confident the work will prove satisfactory to all, and mcrl with great demand.
