There are twenty-five, none of which I should wish to be without, but which do not altogether include all that ought to be said on the details of many subjects; and their cost, purchased together at wholesale rates, I presume would not vary much from fifty dollars. To any but book-farmers this would seem a large investment in the literature of one's calling, but I am confident it would be a profitable investment.

I

Our agricultural literature is still quite deficient, though vastly improved within the last few years. Time was when our farm-books were reprints of English publications, or worse still, were appropriated from such sources, and remodelled very little to their improvement, and then put out as American works. Now, in many departments, we have really excellent hand-books. But we lack a good book on meteorology, and we need another, I imagine, on the geology of soils. think we still need a good hand-book of practical entomology, though the material for it is being rapidly gathered. I do not find a good general work on the horse, though I have not examined all that have been published in this country. A good work on rural economy is a great desideratum. It would stimulate thought upon some points of general farm-management that are often, perhaps even generally, lost sight of.

In my own collection, I have considered it a good point to collect as many works as may be that bear upon rural life, and are calculated in any way to render it attractive. The books of ancient agriculture, such as the Works and Days of Hesiod, the Idyls of Theocritus, the Georgics and Bucolics of Virgil, attract the classical student, and constitute a bond between the cloister and the farm-house. Miss Mitford's Tales of Our Village, and Alice Cary's charming sketches render even more attractive the quiet life and country scenes they depict. Thomson's "Seasons," Tusser's "Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry," and other poems, descriptive, didactic, and epic, all lend something of dignity and much of zest to even our own country life. So that I reckon even a good novel may be useful in teaching the sentiment as well as the idea of country life, and that the imagination of the poets may well kindle the enthusiasm of the farmer, and give to his calling a higher and more attractive aspect than it has to many.

Let us dis

So, too, I have thought that we should buy more landscape pictures, more animal paintings, and generally those works of art that would connect us in our country-houses more directly with the great realm of Nature without. card bad portaits and fanciful historical pictures, and introduce Rosa Bonheur, Herring, and Landseer, and we shall seem more in unison, and really be so, with the mingling of animal and vegetable life that surrounds the farmer.
