VERY IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
A ncw edition, mprorcd and greatly enlarg-
ed, of BONNER Manure Method, secured
by United States letters patent.

monials in the agricultural papers, il has Civ
en- satisfactory results, have nevertheless
seen that this first edition was too incom-
pleie, and that from the numerous questions
which have been addressed to me by my sub
scribers, have, like them, felt the want of
commentary upon the instructions, and
clear and concise explanations upon various

that it may be better comprehended and
more easily put into practice.
have written u new work which is more
complete, and which, hope, will meet with
their appreciation.

this work, the system is SO improved, and its
application rendered so easy, that the lcas
intelligent farmer, in faithfully conforming to
the prescriptions and instructions therein
contained, cannot fail of success in his oper.
