A New Work on Forest TuEES.^Forest Trees for shelter, ornament and profit. — A 

 Practical Manual for their culture and propagation, by Arthur Brtant, Sr. Henry 

 T. Williams, New York, Publisher. $1.5U by mail. 



This is tJie book for the farmers of the West. The author starts out with a chapter on 

 the evils attending the destruction of forest trees, and then proceeds to show the practica- 

 bility and profit of raising timber upon our prairies, how to do it, and a list of the most 

 valuable trees for cultivation. We have looked through this book with no ordinary inter- 

 est, and find it just what might have been expected from a man of Mr. Bryant's good 

 sense and practical knowledge, and we take pleasure in earnestly recommending it to 

 every farmer in the West.
