FARMER's GUIDE.-The concluding No. Of this work
is upon our table. and we but repeat the unanimous
verdict Of the Agricultural press, in saying that it is
among the most complete and reliable contributions
to scientific and practical agriculture. The arrange
ment OF the work is convenient for reference, the IL
lStratons beautiful the language plain, clear intel
ligble, and truthful. The work comprsis two royal
svo vols. of 1900 pages including 600 wood cuts and
IA steel cngravings.-OhiO CUitiuGtOr.
We have received this highly interesting and useful,
but above ALL practical work. We know Of no other
agricultural work ever published in this country which
might compare with the one just named in practical
usefulness and intrinsic merit in geneT1l.-BlufdiO
JPOOI GrOiueT.
THE FARMERS GUIDE.-This work Is a rich mine Of
agricultural knowledge, presented in simple and IA
mliar style giving copious details of the best practice
on English FARMS and adapted TO general use in this
country by the udcious notes Of the American editor
The intelligent farmer will find II very attractive read
ing. In the comparison between English and Ameri-
can husbandry for which 1t furnishes ample materials
he may obtain many valuable hints for increasing the
product of his own acres The mental stimulus given
by the perusa Of such writing quite important as
their more immediate purposes; and even II they
should not refund the expense OF their purchase in
dollars and cents at the end Of the year they will more
than make the outlay good In the intellectual benefits
which they impart.-NsS0 rk Tribune.
