NEBRASKA IN 1875. 
Cost and Result of Farming on 
tlie Frairies. 
Tlie people of Nebraska can now estimate their 
position : They have come through tlie born, and 
out of the right end. It was bard upon them last 
year ; but, in tlie grand history of the settlement 
of this continent, what state is there which lias 
not had to undergo a period of trial? In this 
respect, Nebraska lias suffered nothing in compari¬ 
son with her western sisters. Tlie only check 
there met with since tlie state was settled, was last 
year; and now, in tlie year 1875, the land is heavy 
with a bountiful harvest. Farming, tlie safest of 
all pursuits, is safe in Nebraska. The right man— 
the good farmer—is in the right place in Nebraska. 
The land (cheap and fertile) is there in abundance. 
Those who occupy it have assured tlie future for 
themselves and their families—that is, if they carry 
to their work skill and industry. No man. there¬ 
fore, should struggle with rented land, or with 
limited or unfertile acres, while excellent farms 
in Nebraska are waiting the taking.

PEACH CULTURE. 
By JAMES ALEXANDER FULTON. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $1.50. 
Among tlie fruits, the Peach , if not tlie most, is one of the 
most Important of all. It is so easily raised, comes into 
bearing so soon, and is so delicious as well as beautiful, it 
is impossible that it should not be a favorite. Living in tlie 
very center of tlie peach-growing district; sharing the com¬ 
mon interest felt in the subject; deeply impressed with its 
importance to the individual planters themselves, and also 
to the community at large; and believing that alasting bene¬ 
fit could be done to both, the author lias been induced to 
prepare this work on peach culture.

ly familiar with the whole subject. The points of tlie various 
English and American breeds are thoroughly discussed, and

Their History, Breeding, and Management. 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. Tlie large experience of the author 
ill improving the character of American herds adds to tlie 
weight of liis observations, and lias enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling tlie reader to find tlie point on which 
lie is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
tlie leaves.

Revised and greatly enlarged 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
Allen’s American Farm Book lias been one of the standard 
farmers’hand-books for twenty years; it is still a valuable 
book.but not up to the times; and as its author.Mr.R.L.Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
liis brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished fanner 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from tlie rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the New American Farm Book.

processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers. animals and plants, and their products. He has tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but Ins hook shows that lie has not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, but has 
given much of his own experience.
