THE WIaCONSIN FARMER.



& Co., New York City, as a journal devoted
chiefly to science and the mechanic arts, has
no superior, if, indeed, it has an equal, in the
world, Its mechanical style, including typog-
raphy and engravings, is next to perfect, and it
is editorially managed with marked ability. A
neat quarto weekly, at two dollars per annum.
Every one interested in the progress of the use-
ful and fine arts, should endeavor to make it a
regular and unfailing visitor.
  Jimnt's Merchant's Magazine, published by
Wi. B. Dana at $6, is absolutely unequalled,
so far as we know, by any similar publication.
It is a handsome octavo magazine of 140 pages
monthly, abounding in articles of the highest
value, and touching a wide range of subjects,
including Agriculture, Mechanics, Commerce,
Nautical Science, Commercial Law, the Fi-
nances of Government, &c., &c. The ablest
practical writers of the country are contribu-
tors to its pages, and all its articles are ori-
ginal. There is no one of the whole number
of most welcome magazines which we would
not sooner part with than with this.
   TAe Atlantic Monthly.-Among the inaga-
inees devoted t- Literaturethe "Atlantic' ranks
No. 1. Clothed in its neat russet cover, with
the glorious old Stars and Stripes persistently
floating aloft, it comes to us twelve times a
year, laden with the rich gifts of the first
statesmen, philosophers, poets, romancers and
reviewers of the times. Liberal and independ-
ent in politics, religion, literature and science,
it is most admirably adapted to the wants of
the best class of the American people, and
should have a place in every intelligent family.
Published by-at Boston, at $3.50 per annum.
   TAc New York Tribune maintains its high
 place as a political newspaper of the Republi-
 can II persuasion," and has won the credit dur-
 ing the past year of giving the latest, most
 correct and most complete reports of battles
 and army movements. Price, a little advanced.
 See Prospectus on cover of FARMER.
   Forey's War Preu, published at Philadel-
 phia, is one of the ablest and moat interesting
 newspapers of this country. It belongs to the
 Douglas Wing of the Democracy in politics
 and wields a strong influence on behalf of the
 Government as against the traitors of the
 South sud the alders and abettors of treason
 everywhere. It is ually embellished with
 several spirited engravings, and has a grc'wing
 popularity. Price, $2 per anum.
