The foregoing subjecta arc all discussed in plain and

The book is written by a successful practical farnur^ and 
is full of infonnation, good advice, and sound doctrine. 
UORACE GREELEY says of it: "Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, th'^ro is no obscure een- 
tencc, and scarcely a hard word in tlie book : its !i54 fair, 
open pages may be read in the course of two evenings 
and thoroughly studied in the leisure hours of a week; 
and we pity the man or l)oy. however old or young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise tluU 
he will not learn sonielliing of value fnmi its peruwxl ; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that ho cannot generally 
understand it; and no farmer or farmer's son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before."
