SOILS AND MANURES. 



PART V. of the SETTLER'S GUIDE AND FARMER'S HANDBOOK 

 is devoted to a description of the various kinds of soils, and of the 

 science and practice of manuring. Every effort has been made by 

 the author to keep the work as free from technicalities and scientific 

 names, and to write in such a style as to make his observations 

 readily understood. It is, however, a very difficult matter, well 

 nigh impossible, to treat a scientific subject properly and fully with- 

 out using scientific terms, but it is to be hoped that the readers of 

 the GUIDE will profit by the knowledge conveyed in these pages, 

 and when they arj in doubt upon any particular point, or desire 

 further information, they have only to apply to the Bureau of 

 Agriculture and it will be freely accorded.
