By Geo. E. Waring, Jil 
This is the best American 
work upon general farm 
management. It treats of 
the leading crops, build¬ 
ings, draining, etc., and in¬ 
cludes sufficient about ani¬ 
mals of different kinds to 
meet the wants of most 
farmers. 
This most charming book 
should be in everv farm home 
in the land. It is written in 
a most captivating style by a 
writer thoroughly familiar 
with the subjects treated. 
Every page abounds in valu¬ 
able bints and suggestions, 
communicated in an enter¬ 
taining, narrative form. 
Most farming operations 
are accomplished by force, 
applied through imple¬ 
ments and machines, and a 
farmer should understand 
mechanics, at least suffi¬ 
ciently to apply force most 
economically. In this work 
the fundamental principles 
are clearly taught, and their 
application illustrated. 
“ The author of this very 
pleasantly written little 
work tells what led him from 
city life to the high grounds 
in New England and begin to 
raise cattle and make butter, 
so that now the star is truly 
in the milky way.” 
Bees, Poultry, and Pigs 
are often made subjects of 
especial care by small far¬ 
mers, and separate treatises 
on these are more likely to 
be asked for in a library 
like this than those upon 
the larger animals. Each 
of these is one of the best 
in its line.
