QTOCKHARDT’S CHEMICAL FIELD LECTURES— 
0 For Agriculturists. Edited, with notes, by James E. 
Tesehmacher. 
Opinion of Samuel L. Dana, M D. L.L. D. 
The great and sinking feature of this little book is, that 
written by an eminently practical teacher for a class of far¬ 
mers whose good opinion of the value of science to agricul¬ 
ture was to be won, their experience has been placed above 
scientific conjecture, and their practical knowledge has been 
made ihe point of scientific illustration. Hence the work is 
more simple and intelligible than any other chemico-agricul- 
tural work which has yet appeared. 
Devoted chiefly to the practical consideration and money 
value of manures, its views of vegetable physiology are'at 
once comprehensive, transparent as water, and illuminated by 
style so bewitchingly simple and concise, lhat the reader, fa¬ 
miliar, though he may lie with the subject, feels that he is car¬ 
ried onward under ihe guidance of a masier spirit, and as he 
passes the old land-marks, sees them shining with a new 
light. 
The book lias yet to be written whose chapters on artifical 
manures shall equal Stoekhardl’s Field Lectures' on bone and 
guano, and certain!}' no work has yet appeared, which has 
shed a clearer or milder light on the intimate connection be¬ 
tween science and agriculture. 
In truth, the great recommendation of this work is, that it 
is adapted equally to a class of readers who have yet to learn 
their ABC in agricultural chemistry, and to that other class 
who*e diffusive reading, here finds itself compressed not less 
neatly than usefully. With regard truly yours, 
John Bartlett. S. L. DANA.

To Flax Growers. 
T HE subscriber Jias invented and builds to order, a FLAX 
MACHINE, which, attended by two hands, is guaran¬ 
teed to dress from three hundred to four hundred and fifty 
pounds of flax per day. The saving in labor and tow, by 
comparison, is considered equivalent to the cost of dressing 
flax by the best common machinery, used in this country 
and Europe. The new machine is made with care, to se¬ 
cure strength and durability, and can be run at a speed which 
requires more than two hands to attend it. Unrotted flax 
straw can be dressed by it. It can be driven by horsepower 
or otherwise," and, being portable, can be sent any distance. 
For the present, the price of the machiiffe complete, is $400. 
Those who wish to obtain it in season to begin operations 
next autumn, will do well to apply soon.
