Thomas’ New Farm Book. 
F ARM IMPLEMENTS, and the principles of their con¬ 
struction and use, with 200 illustrations. By J. J. 
Thomas. 
The following are only a few out of many of the commenda¬ 
tory notices which this work has already received from the 
press:— 
We wish to see this work placed in th*e hands of every 
farmer and farmer’s son, as an indispensable book ; and 
school commissioners sh uld see that it has a place on the 
shelves of every rural district sehdol library. It is admirably 
adapted for popular use as a text book. The illustrations are 
ample and excellent; and every statement is made in such a 
straightforward manner that even a child could not mistake 
the meaning. Mr. Thomas has done the agricultural com¬ 
munity a great service in the preparation of this book.— 
[Horticulturist. 
Those who are acquainted with Mr. Thomas’ previous 
works, need not be told that it is written in a clear, concise, 
practical style, and though eminently scientific, the language 
is so free from all unnecessary technicalities, and so pleas¬ 
ingly familiar, and at the same time so well illustrated and 
enli^eded by appropriate incidents, anecdotes, experiments, 
&c., as to excite and repay the continued attention of the 
reader. We can sincerely recommend it as the best work 
on the subject on which it treats, extant.—[Moore’s Rural 
New-Yorker. 
“ This is an invaluable work for thq^practical agriculturist, 
affording as it does the theory of mechanical forces as ap¬ 
plied in machinery used in farm labor; it wiifl enable farmers 
to construct many indispensable articles, and to understand 
the principles and construction of all agricultural machines.” 
—[Boston Herald. 
“ We know Mr. Thomas to be one of the most talented, 
well-educated, intelligent and enterprising agriculturists of 
the Empire State, and is withal a graceful and attractive 
writer; thoroughly practical, and possessing an unusual share 
of good sense and a sound judgment. We"consider the work 
before us one of the most valuable works for the farmer is¬ 
sued in a long time.—[Chicago Democrat. 
“ We have never seen so much philosophy brought to bear 
in a practical manner on the ordinary concerns of life.”— 
[Presbyterian Banner. 
u This book should be in every house having a garden be¬ 
longing to it; it is as necessary to the farmer as his plow.” 
—[Syracuse Journal. 
“ It should not only grace every agricultural library, but 
should be in every farmer’s hands. There is no tiller of the 
earth but may derive benefit and pleasure from this volume.” 
—[Mirror. 
Just the book for farmers who wish to perform their la.- 
bor intelligently and efficiently.”—[Zion’s Herald. 
“ This is an interesting and invaluable work for the farm¬ 
er, and should be in the hands of every farmer in the coun¬ 
try.”—[Ohio Farmer. 
“ An admirable hand-book for the intelligent husbandman.” 
—[Protestant Churchman. 
“ We should be glad to see the book m every one of our 
schools and popular libraries.”—[N. Y. Agriculturist.
