Klipparfs Land Drainage. 



From the Chicago Farmers Advocate. 



" We hail with pleasure the appearance of this work. The au- 

 thor who, by the waj', is one of the most distinguished agricul- 

 turists of the West has taken great pains to show the cost and 

 comparative value of different kinds of drains open, mole, tile, 

 brush, etc., etc. and their effect on the different kinds of grain, 

 roots, etc. We advise the farmers of the West to procure the 

 above work, and in perusing its pages they will gain what years 

 of experience alone can give." 



From the New England Farmer. 



"This is an excellent work upon the subject of drainage, writ- 

 ten by a person conversant with the subject, and who was wil- 

 ling to go so far into details as to give the reasons why with- 

 drawing water from the soil tends to make the soil deeper and 

 warmer, and more moist in a dry time than an undrained soil. 

 It is written in a plain, candid manner, and can not fail to be ol 

 essential service to those who will read and practice its precepts. 

 The subject is one of great importance to our farmers, and de- 

 mands of them more attention than it has yet received." 



From the Illinois Farmer. 



" We have given this work a pretty thorough perusal, and must 

 say that we are highly pleased with it. It is eminently practical, 

 and well adapted to the soils of the West. No nurseryman, gar- 

 dener or farmer can afford to do without it; certainly no 'man 

 having unimproved land worth twenty dollars an acre should at- 

 tempt its improvement without its aid."
