The long winter e%enings bi'ing extra time for 

 I'eading. A part ol this time could not be more prof- 

 itably sjient than in reading the following rural 

 hand-lxxiks which we send by mail at the uniform 

 l)rice of 40c each. 



The A B C of Potato Culture. 



Paper. 220 pages, 4x5, illustrated. This 

 is T B. Terry's first and most masterly 

 work. The l)ook has had a large .sale, 

 and has been leiirinted in foreign lan- 

 guiiges. Tlie second edition, reset and 

 almost entirely lewritteii, is.just issued. 

 When we are thoroughly conversant 

 with friend Terry's system of r;iising 

 l)otatoes, we shall be ready to handle almost any 

 farm crop successfully. Price 40c, postpaid.

re)-;63i<g!-a;i^ 



Winter Care of Horses and 



Cattle. This is friend Terry's second 

 book in regard to farm matters; but it 

 is so intimately connected with liis 

 potato book that it reads almost like a 

 sequel to it. If you have only a horse 

 or a cow, I think it will )iay you to in- 

 vest in the book. It has 44 Images, T.xlO, 

 illustrated. Price 40c, postpaid. 



Maple Sugar and the Sugar= 



Bush. (jy A. J. Cook. Paper, 44

 valuable to all who are interested in the 

 l)roduct of our sugar maples.. No one 

 who makes mai)le suM'ar or syrup should 

 be without it. If you don't make maple 

 syrup you may want to know how it is 

 made, and how to judge of a good ar- 

 ticle when you liuy it. Price 40c, postpaid.
