h« of great service to farmers and breeders.— Neto York

of moderate means, passiifg her leisure moments in the

ELEMENTS OFAGRICULTURE, 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAREFULLY REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
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, and sound doctrine. 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: “Though dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, th^re is no obscure sen¬ 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the hook; 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 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 farmer’s son can study it 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before.”
