Excerpt from Guide to the English Landmarks of the Soil and Crops An accurate, yet simple Map and Guide, to assist the Farmer in learning the chemical nature of his soil and crops, has been a necessity long felt and earnestly sought after, but the subject has been so difficult to simplify, that it has proven a failure until the present time. The Author does not lay any special claim to originality. He has only simplified a difficult and complex subject by years of hard study, and by engaging the opinions of the best chemists of Europe and America in this compilation. The virgin soil of the United States has been exhausted, from this the Farmer in days past made his living without the necessity of an education. To succeed now, the Farmer must study the chemistry of his soil, its nature and diseases. He must be a physician to his land, and learn how to treat the diseases of his soil. Most Farmers imagine that clover will meet all ends. Let me tell him, he may turn crop after crop of clover under, and he will never get a wheat or corn crop upon it, until he puts in the soil the standard ingredients of these crops. Let him refer to the map, and he will see at once the great difference between hay, corn and wheat. The Author modestly offers his Map and Guide to the Farmers of the United States, trusting they will find it a ready assistant in promoting their welfare.
