M'CIiURB'S MAGAZINE. 



In making up your list of periodicals for the com- 

 ing year we wish to say a word in season for the 

 above magazine. We believe it to be, in a very true 

 sense, the friend and benefactor of the plain people 

 of this nation. Its exposure of monstrous frauds, 

 both financial and political, is deserving of the high- 

 est praise. It could probably have made immense 

 sums of money by concealing the truth, but it chose 

 the straight course of honest duty. Such a journal 

 deserves success. 



THB GERMAN NUBSEBIBS. 



Ir you want treps and plants that are extra hardy 

 we think the stock grown at the German Nurseries, 

 Beatrice, Nebraska, will suit the most exacting. It 

 is right in the blizzard region where, unless plants 

 are very vigorous and hardy, they can not survive. 

 The proprietor of these nurseries is Mr. Carl Sonder- 

 egger, a very experienced German nurseryman who 

 started in business in 1886. since which time he has 

 built up a large trade in nursery and plant stock. 

 He knows just what will grow in our cold north- 

 western States, where the peculiar winter conditions 

 render the selection of trees a subject for expert 

 knowledge, such as only a few possess. Many thrifty 

 persons have lost money by ordering trees from 

 irresponsible agents and others who sold them stock 

 by no means adapted to the rigorous conditions of 

 the West. We believe any buyer of trees would be 

 safe in ordering from Mr. Sonderegger. 



Ratekins if they are anxious to improve the crop in 

 their own immediate locality. In aiddition to secur- 

 ing fine seed we believe they will also get excellent 

 advice on corn culture (if they desire it). Their 

 catalog, which may be had free for the asking is 

 quite a treatise on corn and other useful farm seeds 

 on which great industries rest. It is not a pretty 

 book for the children, but a valuable monitor on 

 farm seeds and farm crops for money-makers. 



BIG-EABED CORN. 



If you are interested in corn, the advertisement of 

 Ratekin's Seed House, of Shenandoah, Iowa, will 

 appeal to you . This house is in the center of a great 

 corn region where the farmers take the greatest in- 

 terest in the improvement and amelioration of the 

 corn-plant. It is not far away, either, from the 

 home of Professor Holden, the grpat corn expert 

 who has so enthused the farmers of Iowa that each 

 one is laboring to increase the value of the corn 

 crop of the State. Any of our readers who are in- 

 terested in corn culture ought to get in touch with 



WEAVING BUGS AT HOME. 



Recently there has been a revival of home handi- 

 crafts in various parts of the country. This is due to 

 various causes, one of which is a great desire on the 

 part of many to have something original, and at the 

 same time durable and substantial. It is a remark- 

 able fact that the fine rugs and carpets on the floors 

 of rich men's mansions are home-made articles. 

 These are not made in factories, as is supposed by 

 many; on the contrary, they are the product of 

 humble homes in Turkey, Syria, Persia, and India, 

 where factories are unknown. 



This being so, we feel certain many of our readers 

 will be much interested in the advertisement of the 

 Deen Loom Co.. Harlan, Iowa, on the back cover 

 page of this journal. We think their announcement 

 will have a special interest to Gleanings readers, 

 because many of them are handy men and women 

 who would soon learn how to use a weaver's loom if 

 they had one. 



It is well known that the finest and most expen- 

 sive fabrics are woven on what seems ridiculously 

 simple apparatus. We believe that success in this 

 line lies largely in the taste and skill of the individ- 

 ual worker rather than on intricate and expensive 

 machinery. The Deen Loom Co. are so thoroughly 

 convinced of the intrinsic value of the loom they 

 manufacture that they are now accepting orders on 

 the installment plan of payment. If the field where 

 you live is not occupied already by some weaver, 

 there is a chance for you to do some business with 

 your neighbors in making rugs for them. The com- 

 pany takes especial pains to give its customers all 

 necessary advice in learning to operate a loom, and 

 is happy to hear their customer has been success- 

 ful. They send a nice catalog on request.
