the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, the cost and the 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 their relations to the public health. 
[Portland lift.) Frees. 
Nowhere docs this hook merit a wider circulation than 
in the West. Every year adds to the thousands of dollars 
lost to tills State from want of proper surface drainage, 
to say nothing of the added gain to result from a com- 
plete system of under-drainage. This book wilt prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOB, YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAREFULLY' REVISED. 
CONTEXTS. 
The Plant ; The Soil ; Manures ; Mechanical Cul- 
tivation ; Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects are all discussed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmer's boy may understand. 
The book is written by a successful practical farmer, and 
is full of information, good advice, aud Bound doctrine. 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: "Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is no obscure sen- 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the book ; ils 364 fair, 
opuupagcB 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 or 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 generally 
understand it; and no farmer or fanner's son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before."
