PUBLICATIONS 



This part of the work of the Bureau of Fanners' Institutes has 

 been kept well to the front. No portion of the work is more far- 

 reaching, for these publications go not only to all parts of our OAvn 

 state, but over the United States and far beyond the seas. The 

 many voluntary expressions of appreciation that come from near 

 and far assure us that the work is helpful and that it is 

 appreciated. 



In September, 1915, Bulletin 75 was issued — " What Shall the 

 Farmer Read ? " by F. H. Hall, editor and librarian, ISTew York 

 Agricultural Experiment Station. Besides a discussion on the 

 need for good reading, it consists of an extensive list of desirable 

 books for the farmer, classified in groups according to subject. 



In October, 1915, there was issued Bulletin 76, " The Horse 

 Industry in ISTew York State," which covers 278 pages, and con- 

 sists of 36 articles by 27 different writers, all of whom are author- 

 ities in their special lines. It contains 80 illustrations, a number 

 of which were from Belgium, showing places and horses that have 

 since been destroyed by the war. The table of contents and
