Sought the land Of tee Ponemsh.

FARMERS GUIDE.-The concluding No.of this work
Is upon our table, andNyc 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 H.
ustntons beautiful, the language plain. clear, intel
ligible and truthful The work comprisis two royal
svo vols. Of 1900 pages including COO wood cuts and
IA steel eugravings.-OhiO CUitir0for.
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 general.-Bg1aio
JPOol Grocer.
The FARNERs TItDE-Ths work is a rich mine Of
agricultural knowledge presented in simple and Ia
mar style giving copous details Of the best practice
on English farms and adapted tn general use In this
country by the udicous 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 il furnishes ample materials
he may obtain many valuable hints for increasing the
product of his own acres. The mental stimulus given
by the persal Of such writing quite as important as
their more immediate purposesi and even u 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.-NrO York Tribune.
