GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



431 



in Prof. Cook's happy styl combining wholesome moral les 

 sons with the latest and best method of managing to get tht 

 finest syrup and maple sugar, with the least possible expendi- 

 ture of cash and labor. Everybody who makes sugar or mo- 

 lasses wants the sugar-book. It has 42 pages and 35 cuts. 

 I Our Farmins, by T. B.Terry** $2.00 



In which he tells " how we have made a i-un-down farm 

 bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book, 6x9 inches, 367 pages, quite fully illus- 

 trated. It is Teri-y's first large book; and while it touches on 

 the topics treated in his smaller handbooks, it is sufficiently 

 different so that no one will complain of repetition, even if he 

 has read all of Terry's little books. I should call it the bright- 

 est and most practical book on farming before the world at 

 the present day. The price is 82.00 postpaid; or clubbed with 

 Gleanings for 2.50. Those who are already subscribers to 

 Gleanings may have it postpaid by sending us 1.50 more. We 

 are so sure it will be worth many times its cost that we are 

 not afraid to offer to take it back if any one feels he has not 

 got his money's worth after he has read it. If ordered by ex- 

 press or freight with other goods, 10c less. 



3 I Onions for Profit** 45 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old onion cul- 

 ture and the new method. The book is fully illustrated, and 

 written with all the enthusiasm and interest that character- 

 ize its author, T. Greiner. Even if one is not particularly in- 

 terested in the business, almost any person who picks up 

 Greiner's books will like to read them through. 



1 Poultry for Pleasure and Profit** 10 



11 Practical Floriculture, Henderson* 135 



10 Profits in Poultry* 90 



3 I Practical Turkey-raising 10 



By Fanny Field. This is a 85-cent book which we oflfer for 10 

 cts. ; postage, 2 cts. 



4 I Peabody's Webster's Dictionary 10 



Over 30,000 words and 2.t0 illuEtrations. 



2 I Rats: How to Rid Farms and Buildings of 



them, as well as other Pests of like Char- 

 acter . 15 



This little book ought to be worth dollars instead of the few 

 cents it costs to any one who has ever been troubled with these 

 pests, and who has not! It is written in such a happy vein 

 that every member of the family will read it clear through, 

 just about as soon as they get hold of it. It contains a com- 



Flete summing up of the best information the world can 

 urnish. 



1 I Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 I Small-Fruit Culturist, Fuller 140 



10 I Success in Market-Gardening* 90 



This is a new book by a real, live, enterprising, successful 

 market-gardener who lives in Arlington, a suburb of Boston 

 Mass. Friend Rawson has been one of the foremost to make 

 irrigation a practical success, and he now irrigates his ground? 

 by means of a windmill and steam-engine whenever a drought 

 threatens to injure the crops. The book has 208 pages, and if 

 nicely illustrated with 110 engravings. 



! Ten Acres Enough .. 1 fl(i 



j Talks on Manures* 175 



This book, by Joseph Harris is, perhaps, the most compre- 

 hensive one we have on the subject, and the whole matter ie 

 considered by an able writer. It contains 366 pages. 



2 I The Carpenter's Steel Square and its Uses. 15 

 10 I The New Agriculture; or, the Waters Led 



Captive 75 



2 I Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases 10 



5 I Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain 35 



Fully illustrated, containing evei-y thing of importance 

 clear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the illustrations 

 given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone make the book 

 worth what it costs, to every one who has oicasion to lay ten 

 rods or more of tile. There is as much science in digging as 

 in doing almost anything else; and by following the plan 

 directed in this book, one man will often do as much as two 

 men without this knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with the subject, and was written by the author 

 while he was enga-ed in the work of digging the ditches and 

 laying the tiles HIMSELF, for he has laid literally miles of 

 tile on h is own farm in Hudson. O. 



o 1 Tomato Culture 35 



In three parts. Part first — by J. W. Day. of Crystal Springs, 

 Miss., treats of tomato culture in the South, with some re- 

 marks by A. I. Root, adapting it to the North. Part second- 

 By D Cummins, of Conneaut, O.. treats of tomato culture 

 especially for canning-factories. Part third— By A. I. Root, 

 treats of plant-growing for market, and high-pressure garden- 

 ing in general. This little book is interestingbecause it is one 

 of the first rural books to come from our friends in the South. 

 It tells of a great industry that has been steadily growing for 

 some years past; namely, tomato-growing in the South to 

 supply the Northern markets. The little book, which is fully 

 illustrated, gives us some pleasant glimpses of the possibili- 

 ties and probabilities of the future of Southern agriculture. 

 Even though you do not grow tomatoes to any considerable 

 extent, you will find the book brimful of suggestions of short 

 cuts in agriculture and horticulture, and especially in the line 

 of market-gardening. 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 35 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm matters ; 

 but it is so intimately connected with hip potato-book that it 

 reads almost like a sequel to it. If you have only a horse or a 

 cow, I think it will pay you to invest in the book. It has U 

 pages and i cuts.
