7 I Market-^nrdeniiig- and Farm Notes, by 



Burnett Landreth 90 



The Landreths are the pioneer seedsmen of Anieiica; and 

 the book is wortli fully as much as we might expect it to be. I 

 think 1 received hints from it worth tlie price, before it had 

 been in my hands fifteen minutes. It is exceedingly practical, 

 and tells what has been done and what is bring done, more 

 than it discourses on theory. 



4 I Peabody's Webster's Dictionary 10 



Over 30,000 words and 2.50 illustrations. 



5 I Manures; How to Make and How to Use 



them ; in paper covers 46 



6 I The same in cloth covers 65 



Covering the whole matter, and discussing every thing to be 

 found on the farm, refuse from factories, mineral fertilizers 

 from mines, etc. It is a complete summing-up of the whole 

 matter. It is written by F. W. Sempers. 



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 intt-i est that character- 

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

 terested in the business, almost any person who picks up 

 Greiner's books will like to read them through. 



I Our Fanning-, by T. B. Terry** f 2 00 



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

 bring both profit and pleasure." 



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

 trated. It is Terry's first large book; and while it touches on 

 the topics treated in his smaller handbooks, it is >ufflciently 

 different so that no one will oomjMain 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 $2.00 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 wortli after he has read it. If ordered by ex- 

 press or freight with other goods, 10c less. 



1 Poultry for Pleasure and Profit** 10 



1 Practical Floriculture, Henderson* 1 36 



10 Profits in Poultry* 90 



2 I Practical Turkey-raising- 10 



By Fanny Field. This is a 25-cent book wliich we offer for 10 

 Cts. ; postage, 2 ots. 



2 1 Rats: How to Rid Farms and Building-s of 

 them, as well as other Pests of like Char- 

 acter 16 



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

 cents it costs to any one whohaseverbeen troubled with these 

 pests, and who has not? It is written in such a haiipy 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- 

 plete summing up of the best information the world can 

 furnish. 



1 1 Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 Small-Fruit Cultiirist, Fuller 1 40 



10 I Success in Market-Gardening* 9C 



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

 market-gardenei- who lives in Arlington, a suhui-b 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. 



I Ten Acres Enough .. 1 0(i 



I Talks on Manures* 176 



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

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

 considered by an able writer. It contains 366 pages. 



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

 10 I The New Agriculture; or, the Waters Led 



Captive 40 



2 1 Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases 11 



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



Fully illustrated, containing every 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 o<-casion to lay ten 

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



I Tomato Culture 35 



In three parts. Fart 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-factoiies. 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. 



3 I Winter Care of Horses and Cattle 36 



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

 but it is so intimately connected with hif potato-book that il 

 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. 



3 I Wood's Common Objects of the Micro- 

 scope'* 47 



8 I What to Do and How to be Happy While 



Doing It, by A. I. Root 50
