The Lire-Stock Journal Almanack (with which is incorporated the "Farmer's

Almanack "). (Cassell.)—This almanack is one of the best year-books published in the interest of those engaged in horse and cattle-breeding, poultry-rearing, or in fact, all agricultural pursuits. Among the original articles are one on "Farmers' Difficulties," by Professor Sheldon ; and another on "The Horse's Foot," by Mr. Fleming, the veterinary surgeon of the 2nd Life Guards.
