EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The great advantages of drainage arc so apparent, that 
anything written upon the subject is read with interest. 
The author of the present work is no novice in the mat¬ 
ter of drainage, having, had much practical experience, 
and knowing well all the advantages of a thorough sys¬ 
tem of drainage. The book is written in, as the author 
expresses it, “a radical style,” as lie believes what is 
worth doing at all is worth doing well, and is a work cal¬ 
culated to do much good, and should he in the hands of 
every landowner, if of only an acre.

He (the author) describes the action of draining upon 
the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, the 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 the 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 fanner who may consult it. 
\Chicago (111.) Republican. 
This is a capital book. It is fully illustrated, and de¬ 
tailed instructions are given how to lay out the land, how 
to set out the drains, how to make them, also how to 
manufacture the tiles. And there is a chapter on house 
and town sewerage_The book will be read with inter¬ 
est by English as well as American readers.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE, 
A BOOK FOR YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
CAREFULLY REVISED. 
CONTENTS. 
THE PLANT. 
THE SOIL. 
MANURES. 
MECHANICAL CULTIVATION. 
ANALYSIS. 
The foregoing subjects are all discussed in plain and 
simple language, that any farmer’s boy may understand. 
The book 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 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 mail 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.”

Harris’ Insects Injurious to Vegetation. 
8 vo, Extra Cloth , $4.00. Beveled boards 
and colored Engravings .$6.00 
This very beautiful work, edited by tlie Hon. Charles 
L. Flint, is the most popular one on entomology, and, 
indeed, almost the only one not intended for the purely 
scientific student. The familiar descriptions of the 
insects are much aided by the excellent, plain and col¬ 
ored illustrations. Neither this nor any other work 
contains all the insects one meets with, but as it com¬ 
prises those which are injurious to cultivated and wild 
plants, it includes the more common ones, and is suffi¬ 
ciently systematic to give a general idea of the classifi¬ 
cation of insects. It takes a practical view of the mat¬ 
ter, as well as a scientific one, and gives the means, as 
far as known, of combating these enemies of the culti¬ 
vator. By the late Thaddeus William Harris, M. D.
