ATTENTION IS CALLED TO OVR 
LARGE STOCK OF 
WALTHAM 
WATCHES, 
And wc submit the following reasons why they should be 
preferred to any other American Watches : 
la the first pl:ice, the Waltham Company is the oldest, and 
has had fourfuld the experience of any others engaged in 
the business in the United States. 
In the second place, the machinery in use l»y the Waltham 
Company is far more perfect and varied, and as a result, the 
Watches are of far higher grade and of greater variety, and 
are placed in the market at much lower prices than any 
others, quality and style fully considered. 
In the third place, the Waltham Watch is now a staple 
article, its reputation fully established, and, as a conse- 
quence, is sold at less profit than any others in the market.

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES BY TEE PRESS. 
He (the author) describes the action of draining upon 
the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drain?, the cost and Ihe profit of thorough drainage, the 
making of tiles, and the reclaiming of salt marshes, 
treats sensibly of malarial diseases, and closes with a 
chapter which should be widely read, on house drainage 
and town sewerage In theirrelations to the public health.

iu the West. Every year adds to the thousands of dollars 
lost to this State from want of proper surface drainage, 
to say nothing of the added gain to result from a com- 
plete system of nnder-drainage. This book will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult iL

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of tbc Central Park, In. 
New York. 
CAKEPriLT REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
The Plant ; Tin: Soil ; Manures ; Mechanical Cul- 
tivation ; Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects arc all disenssed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmer's boy may understand. 
The book is written by a successful practical farmer y and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound doctrine. 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: "Thongh dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen- 
tence, and scarcely a bard word in the book ; its 254 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 boy, however old of young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise that 
he will not learn something of value from its perusal ; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that he cannot geucrally 
understand it : and no farmer or farmer's son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before/ 1
