[Portland (Me.) Press. 
Nowhere does this book merit a wider circulation than 
in 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 « com¬ 
plete system of under-drainage. This book will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it.

A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS,

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 fanner’s boy may understand. 
The hook is written by a successful pracltim farmer, and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound 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 ; its 25-1 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 hoy, 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.”

REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD. 
Veterinary Surgeon. “ Author of Anatomy and Physiology 
of the Horse." and late Professor of A natomy anil Physi¬ 
ology in (he Veterinary Institute of Chicago, and for over 
25 years a Regular Practicing Veterinarian. 
This is a fresh book, the result of a lifetime of labor aud 
research on the part of one of the foremost Veterinarians 
of the age. Years ago. Dr. Dadd perceived that incalculable 
loss was being entailed upon stock owners every year by the 
reckless, unnatural, unscientific, and cruel modes of treat¬ 
ment which were so generally practiced upon the Horse. 
Burning, Blistering, Bleeding by the gallon, aud the 
giving of Poisonous Drugs were the order of the day 
(and we are sorry to say such practices still find learned (?) 
advocates even in our day), and the result was that they 
killed more than they cured. Actuated by a laudable desire 
to rescue so noble an animal from sucli “ heroic practice,”' 
Dr. Dadd adopted and strenuously advocated the Reform¬ 
ed System of Practice, which, under the guidance of 
such men as Wooster Beach, John C. Gunn, and others, rose 
rapidly into popular favor iu human practice, and de¬ 
monstrated beyond a doubt that nature's remedies are the 
most uniformly successful. Such was Dadd's success that 
he became widely known, and It was no unusual thing for 
him to be scut for, hundreds of miles, to attend valuable 
horses. His career as a practicing Veterinary Surgeon has 
been one of rare success, and deeming It his duty to spread 
abroad among bis countrymen a knowledge of Reform 
Principles, as applied to the Horse, lie has prepared this 
work, and asks that it be candidly examined. Being a thor¬ 
oughly American Work, it quotes foreign authors hut very 
little. It aims to treat fully and plainly, on rational princi¬ 
ples, every ill that Horseflesh is heir to, including those 
complaints peculiar to this country, and which 
have hitherto been but very imperfectly treated of by 
authors aspiring to be educators of the public on Veterinary 
Science.
