WHAT TO DO, 



—AND— 



How to Be Happy While Doing It. 



The above book, by A. I. Root, is a compilation of 

 papers published in Gleanings in 1886, '7, and 8. 

 It is intended to solve the problem of finding occu- 

 pation for those scattered over our land, out of em- 

 ployment. The suggestions are principally about 

 finding- employment around your own homes. The 

 book is mainly upon market-gardening, fruit cul- 

 ture, poultry-raising, etc. T think the book will be 

 well worth the price, not only to those out of em- 

 ployment, but to any one who loves home and rural 

 industries. Price in paper covers. 50 cts.; cloth. 75 

 cts. If wanted by mail, add 8 and 10c respectively.
