making of tiles, and the reclaiming of salt marshes,

[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 snrfaco 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.

The Plant'; The Soil; Manub-es ^Mechanical Cul¬

The foregoing subjects arc-all discussed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmers boy may understand. 
The hook is written by a successful practiced 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 hook; 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 
lie 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.”

THE AMERICAN 
REFORMED HORSE BOOK. 
[OCTAVO.] 
A Treatise on the Causes, Symptoms, aupd Cure of every 
Disease incident to the Horse, including all Diseases 
peculiar to America, and which arc not treated 
of in works based upon the English works 
of Touatt, Mason, and others. Em¬ 
bracing also full details of Breed¬ 
ing, Rearing, and Manage¬ 
ment on the 
REFORMED SYSTEM OF PRACTICE. 
By Prof. GEO. H. DADD, 
Veterinary Surgeon. “ Author of Anatomy and Physiology 
of the Horse," and late Professor of Anatomy and Physi¬ 
ology in the Veterinary Institute of Chicago , and for over 
25 years a Regular Practicing Veterinarian. 
This is a fresh hook, the result of a lifetime of labor and 
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, and 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 such “ 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 in 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 sent 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 his countrymen a knowledge of Reform 
Principles, as applied to the Horse, he has prepared this 
work, and asks that it he candidly examined. Being a thor¬ 
oughly American Work, it quotes foreign authors but 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 hut very imperfectly treated of by 
authors aspiring to he educators of the public on Veterinary 
Science.

The following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson's books

“ February 8f/i, 1875. 
“ Enclosed find draft for $3.00, the published price of re¬ 
vised editions of ‘ Gardening for Profit ’ and ‘ Practical 
Floriculture.’ I have first editions, and they have saved the 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for 
what you are doing for the gardeners of the United States.”

“ Four Gardening for Profit is what the Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—the only sure guide.” 
"March 23 d, 1874. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe the gardeners of this country would gladly hail an¬ 
other edition of‘Gardening for Profit;’ at least, I thank 
him for that little work. Through its influence I left a pay¬ 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach¬ 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and 400 four-feet sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I thank him.”
