This book is designed for use in high schools, academies, and 

 normal schools, and in colleges when only a short time can be 

 given to the subject. It is also useful to the farmer or general 

 reader who desires a brief survey of agriculture. 



The purpose of the book is to make the teaching of agricul- 

 ture in the existing high schools comparable in extent and 

 thoroughness with the teaching of physics, mathematics, history, 

 and literature. In fact, the chemistry and botany should, if 

 possible, precede the agriculture as given in this book ; and the 

 pupil will be all the better prepared for the subject if he comes to 

 it with considerable other high-school training, for much of the 

 value of the work will be conditioned on the student's maturity 

 and his experience with life. The subject is not one that can 

 be memorized, or even acquired in the ordinary method of 

 school study ; it must relate itself to the actual work and 

 business of the community in such a way as will develop the 

 student's judgment of conditions and affairs.
