ers, and as unhesitatingly say, that its chapters upon the rearing 

 of animals, the management 0/ milch cows, the management ef 

 the dairy, and the fattening of cattle, appear to us to possess more 

 merit, more plain, manly common sense, and more true philoso- 

 phy, than any others than have ever ^llen under our observation,

Norton's Elements of Scientific AsEicrLTURE. 



The subject is very ably discussed, and elucidated in a clear 

 and comprehensive language, such as would not discourage the 

 young inquirer, nor dissatisfy the adept in such branches of sci- 

 entific research. The task is well done, and we feel indebted to 

 Professor Norton for opening another pleasant avenue to Agricul- 

 tural knowledge and practice. — Maine Farmer. 



Norton's Elements of Scientific AsRiciTLTrRE. 



We have looked through Prof. Norton's new treatise with some 

 degree of care, and find it well adapted to the purpose for which 

 it was mainly composed, namely, to supply correct elementary 

 instruction in Scientfic Agriculture, for the use of schools and 

 inquiring young men engaged in the business of farming. The 

 application of scientific principles to the art of cultivating the 

 earth, management of the dairy, the breeding and feeding of ani- 

 mals, ^c, is treated of in simple language, with scientific accu- 

 racy, and in considerable fulness. The publication is alike cre- 

 ditable to the talents and industry of the author, and the discrimi- 

 nating judgment of the valuable society which has been the means 

 of calling it forth. We should be happy to see it introduced into 

 all the schools, and the family of every farmer in this country. —
