Technical books. — Ours is a practical age, as was previously stated. The 

 authors of our technical books have worked out in practice the problems 

 of which they write. The men and the women who are familiar with the 

 books that have been published in their respective branches of work are 

 recognized as leaders. They know what experiments have been 

 made, and why some have succeeded and some have failed. It is possible 

 for a farmer to have a good technical library and for a farmer's wife to 

 collect a valuable library on household affairs at very small expense. 



The New York State Library includes in its traveling libraries books 

 , on all the topics mentioned in this lesson. You are thus given an oppor- 

 tunity to become familiar with some of these books and to know which 

 you wish to own. For $1.00 you may borrow ten books for three 

 months. These books may be renewed for three months more on pay- 

 ment of 50 cents. On application of five taxpayers you may have the 

 free use for your community of twenty-five books for six months. If 

 additional books are desired they may be obtained on the payment of a 

 nominal charge. Books should be located in some central spot, such as 

 the post office, a store, or a schoolhouse. A grange or a club that desires 

 the exclusive use of books may have twenty-five books for $2 .00. For each 

 additional twenty-five books there will be a charge of $1.00. These books 

 may be kept for six months or longer. Transportation charges are paid 

 on all books. For further information, address the Division of Educa- 

 tional Extension, State Library, Albany. 



The Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, which 

 is made up of papers on farm subjects, written by experts, may be pro- 

 cured free by applying to your congressman or senator. The United 

 States Department of Agriculture will send also, on request, a list of the 

 publications issued each month by the department, so that a selection 

 may be made. Any bulletin which you see mentioned in your farm paper 

 as being published by an experiment station, and which you think would 

 be helpful to you, may usually be procured by writing to the director of 

 the station and asking for the bulletin.
