KHpparfs Land Drainage. 



From the Chicago Farmers Advocate, 



"We hail with pleasure the appearance of this work. The author — who, 

 by the way, is one of the most distinguished agriculturists 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, written by a 

 person conversant with the subject, and who was willing to go so far 

 into details, as to give the reasons why withdrawing water from the soil, 

 tends to make the soil deeper and luarmery and more moist in a dry timsj 

 than an undrained soil. It is written in a plain, candid manner, and 

 cannot fail to be of essential service, to those who will read and practice 

 its precepts. The subject is one of great importance to our farmers, and 

 demands 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, gardener, or farmer, 

 can afford to do without it; certainly no man having unimproved land 

 worth twenty dollars an acre, should attempt its improvement, without 

 its aid."
