lie (the author) describes the action of draining upon 
the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, 1 lie 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 t lie 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 book will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it. 
[Chicago (111.) Republican. 
A book that, ought to be in the hands of every farmer.

How to Make them ancl how to Use them. 
J3y GEO. E. WARING, Jr. 
It is sufficiently understood, by all who have given the 
least thought to the 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 put out of sight and out. ot 
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.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE, 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO..E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of t lie Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAREFULLY REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
The Plant; The Soil; Manures; Mechanical Cul¬ 
tivation ; Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects arc all discussed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmer’s hoy 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 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.”
