Mr.. w AIRING is one Of our most thorough going
practical farmers, and is widely known as such
by his previous writings, and in this work lie
has handled bis various subjects in clear com
mon sense style. We know Of no similar work
that approaches it. It is sold through agents
(either travelling or locaD, and we bespeak for
it a ready sale in this community. We clsss our
review of this most excellent work by copying
the following from late number Of The Albany
Eesning Journal:
A GREAT Book FOR FARMERS. We have
Lad just experience enough in farming to know
that "a little learning is a dangerous thing"
Better know nothing than to think you know
enough. Half the failures result from a con-
ceted idea that there is nothing more to learn
Tens Of thousands are poor to-day who might
have been rich If they had kept up with the
times. II isn't enough To initiate the industry
and economy Of our fathers, although that is
we'll. The farmer Of to-day must know more,
and plough and SOW and reap differently, from
the farmer OF twenty years ago, or he will speed
iy find himself in the rear rank OF the great ag-
ricultural army. The Hundy Book Of HaSbaHd
| ~, by George E. Waring, Jr., contains just the
| information needed by those who are already on
farms or who think OF becoming farmers, which
! II properly applied, viii be worth more To them
! than the best farm In Am.rica without this
knowledge. Mr.. Waring is a practical and sue
cessfnl farmer. We predict for this work a
large sale. 1t will be worth more to a farmel
than a yoke Of oxen; and, properly studied, and
its instructions thoroughly applied, will double
the products OF any slovenly cultivated farm.
ZELLs POPULAR ENCYCLOPEDIA AND UM
vERsAL Dictionary keeps up its interest will
the progress ofeyents in Europe. The NapOleOD
are faithfully portrayed, both in text and illustra
ton; and those who will take the trouble 10 rea'
the latest issue will find instructive and entertain
ing matter about the Emperor Of France, bring
ing his history down to last month, ,which leads u
to pronounce this great work Of Mr.. ZellIs eve
with the newspapers of the day. Description Q
the towns of Nancy and Metz, together with 9th
or important points at the scat OF war, are &C
curately chronieled. We were much impres
sed with the sketch and description OF the Nee
die Gun now used by the Prussan armies. Ou
readers will perceive, therefore, how fully III
