EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
A NEW BOOK. 
THE 
OR. 
This dainty little volume contains a narrative of the 
experience of a Western grape grower, and a truly in¬ 
teresting narrative it is. Doubtless it will lead many 
others to follow the example of the author, and exchange 
the confinement and exhaustion of city labor for life in 
the open country; and in doing this it will do a good 
work.—[.S'. S. Times. 
This little work on grape culture is pleasant reading, 
even to those who never intend to cultivate the luscious 
fruit.— [Phila. Inquirer. 
The author has given the volume the entertaing char¬ 
acter and the pleasant flavor of a narrative, thus making 
it decidedly attractive.— [Montpelier (VI.) Freeman. 
Hard-working mechanics, who can barely secure a 
living, should read this little volume, and they will see 
how they can make themselves independent with small 
capital, needing only industry and common sense.

He (the author) describes the action of draining upon 
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 he widely read, on house drainage 
and town sewerage in their relations to the public health. 
[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 a com¬ 
plete system of under-drainage. This hook will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it. 
[Chicago (111.) Republican. 
This is a capital hook. It is fully illustrated, and de¬ 
tailed instructions are given how to lay out the land, how 
to set out the drains, how to make them, also how to 
manufacture the tiles. And there is a chapter on house 
and town sewerage... .The hook will be read with inter¬ 
est by English as well as American readers.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOR YOTJNG 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 Cultivation; 
Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects are all disenssed 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, there is no obscure sen¬ 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the book; its 254 fair, 
open pages may he 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.”

EARTH CEOSETS : 
How to Make them and how to Use them. 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr. 
It is sufficiently understood, by all who have given the 
least thought to ther subject, that the waste of the most 
vital elements of the soil’s fertility, through our present 
, practice of treating human excrement as a thing that is 
to be hurried into the sea, or buried in underground 
vaults, or in some other way pnt out of sight and out of 
reach, is full of danger to our future prosperity. Sup¬ 
ported as the arguments in this little work are by the 
most imperative agricultural and sanitary considerations, 
it is believed that they will commend themselves to the 
approval of all, in both town and country, who have the 
well-being of society at heart.
