Abstract
THE publication of a work bearing such a title, naturally commands special attention at a time when farming is looked upon as anything but a pleasant and profitable business. Although it is evidently written by one practically acquainted with agricultural operations, a perusal unfortunately shows that it is very imperfectly adapted for meeting the needs of farmers in times of difficulty like the present. It has a great defect in its oversight of many of the improvements which have been introduced during the last twenty or thirty years, so much so, indeed, as to lead to a doubt whether there has not been a clerical error in the date of publication, and 1880 substituted for 1850.
