 You n.x your grounii just as rich as you can possibly get it, 

 with stable iiianufcehiiiiical fertilizers, or any thing- else that 

 will do the business. Tlu-n put out your plants 7 inches apart 

 each way, and give them water enough to make them boom 

 right along from the word go. The idea is somewhat new;

Just out. Fully illustrated, containing evrerv thing of im-

The single chapter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone make the book

 rods or more of tile. There is as much science in digging as 

 in doing almost anything else; and by following the plan 

 directeu in this book, one man will often do as much as two 

 men without this Knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with tlie suhjert, and was written by the 'author 

 vvhile he was eiiga ed in the work of digging the' ditches and 

 laying tin- tiles HIMSELF, for he has l.ud literally miles of 

 tile oil his own farm in Hud.-on, O.
