 THE CANADIAN FAUMEKS MANUAL OP 
 AOUIcrLTfUE. Bv Ciiaiu.ks EmvARD 
 WiiniDMitK, with an Iiitnulnctidn by Pro- 
 iKs^.ui H. McCan'i.lkss. Toronto: JAMES 
 ADAM & CO. 
 
 Tliis is the title of a new and viihmlile work 
 on Canailian .\Hrieiiltnre, of i)72 jiaKes, ami 
 hanilsoniely hound, just issnod from the pres« 
 liy Messrs. .liujies .Vdiim & Co., Toronto. It is 
 a Work that slioiihl he in every farmer's liands, 
 and form an inijiortant jiart of Jiis reading 
 matt( r, for, as farniinf; is a tra<h', jnst as mucli 
 as printing, carpentering, and hhveksmithinf;, 
 and one to wliich there is no end to tlie fund of 
 information tliat can ho derived in connection 
 with it— so slioulil every farmer seek to know 
 evertliiuH about it— the best modes of farminf? ; 
 wliat to sow and wlien ; what stock to raise and 
 liow ; the adaptabilities of the different soils to 
 tlic various kinds of giain, roots and vegetables ; 
 the best kind of outliuildings, Ac, Ac. .\11 this, 
 and infinitely more, will he found in this work. 
 There is no farmer too well posted in agrieul- 
 turi\ oi' none too careless and " unscientific " 
 in his liusiuess not to tind a very great deal of 
 practical lienefit from a study — not merely a 
 perusal, but a .iliiili/ of this work, as its range is 
 too wide, its information too complete, and its 
 advice too good not to be followed hy profit 
 to the farmer. The following are some of the 
 articb's treated upon, and will suftice to show 
 tlie character of the liook : — Soils, capital, farm- 
 buildings, rotation of- crops, drainage, manuring, 
 seeds and sowing, treatment of burnt lands, 
 sub.s4)iling, root-crops, field-crops, pasture lands, 
 plo\ighing, seeds, iiax-cniture, peat, weeds, farm 
 implements, hot-beds, fences, farm gates, trees 
 suitable for soils, forests, cattle-breeding, feed- 
 ing and fattening, milch-cows, raising calves, 
 milk, butter and clieese, horses, sheep, lambs, 
 pigs ; diseanes of cattle, horse.«, &e. ; land sur- 
 veying, machinery, weights and measures, busi- 
 ness transactions, farm accounts, taxes, roads, 
 wills, farm labor, &e. The work is illustrated 
 with suggestive engravings — in short nothing is 
 left undone to render it a first-class hook of 
 advice and instruction for the Canadian farmer. 
 It has the additional merit over periodicals of 
 having all this information in a eonipaet form, 
 in one volume. 
 
 N.B.— The price of the work is placed so low 
 that uo Farmer can have a reasonable excuse 
 for being without a copy. 
 
 For further particulars see large descriptive 
 Circular.
