We welcome with a hearty enthusiasm every
work which he's for its object the dissemination
among the Psople OF Knowledge Of those branches
of Science which pertain to the great and iundamen
al interests of Agriculture. The notion that Farm
Inc is an occupation which may be as successfully
carried on by an ignoramrs as by man Of high sci
en,iSc a.tanmens, is fast yielding to the sound and
rational conviction tha, to class Of society is
thorough Practical Education more important or
even necessary than 10 these who cultivate the soil.
The work before us meets want which has been
extensively felt, and We hope il may have wide
circulation. II conteius vast amount CT scientific
information, in form which will render it perfectly
Ineligible TO any one who approaches it with an
earnest desire to understand and apply it. The au-
thor for the sake OF cleamess, has divided his sub
iect into four consecutive Parts, the study OF each
preceding Part preparing the wny for complete un-

Why will not the Farmers OF tina Country obtain
this and other kindred works, and study them dur
ing the long evenings OF Autumn and Winter
Many hours which otherwise would hang heavy
on their hands might thus be employed in obtain
ing thai knowledge withou, which every man who
cnl,ivatcs the soil is essentially Z. hlnaley, and
which, If rightly applied, would greatly augment
the profits OF his business. al the tinie that j;
