The great importance of artificial irrigation to the Agricultural development of our Country, and the mani fest need of some simple guide to the proper application of water to field crops, has prompted the preparation of this work. It is written for practical men, and especially to assist the beginner in farming by irrigation. The limits of the work have precluded extended discussion, and mere theories have been avoided as much as possible. Greeley Nurseries and Gardenside A. E.G. Fruit Farm, Greeley, Colo., May,
