The A B C of Potato Culture 



BY T. B. TERRY AND A. I. ROOT. 



Mr. A. I. Root devoted a large part of his time 

 during the summer of 1911 to revising the Potato 

 Booli which he wrote in collaboration with Mr. 

 Terry 25 years ago. During the winter the 8th edi- 

 tion of 10,000 copies has been printed. Spealiing 

 of this valuable book, and of Mr, Terry, Mr. Root 

 recently had to say:— "It will pay almost every 

 man, woman, and child to read Terry's potato-book, 

 no matter whether you ever did or ever will grow 

 any potatoes or not. If you have read Terry's re- 

 cent book, "How to Keep Well and I^ive Long," 

 you will know that he is a student of nature, and a 

 delver after God's gifts and God's secrets: and this 

 potato-book, on every page, shows his remarkable 

 gift. He is a philosopher of modern date; and his 

 love for God's gifts, as well as his love for his fellow- 

 men, shines out on every page. His studies of po- 

 tatoes, it occurs to me, paved the way in his ex- 

 plorations in his later work in regard to how we 

 should live, and keep our health." Contains nearly 

 400 pages, well illustrated, paper bound, 57c each 

 postpaid. Cloth bound, S5c each, postpaid. (De- 

 duct 7c if ordered sent with freight or express ship- 

 ment. 



How to Keep Well and Live Long 



BY T. B. TERRY. 



I am Still gaining. That is what T. B. Terry says 

 to-day. when he is 67 years old, after being so brok- 

 en In health at 40 years of age that all the doctors 

 who saw him and tried to help him gave him up to 

 die. But Mr. Terry got well by working out his own 

 cure. He tells all about it in his great health book, 

 How to Keep Well and Live Long. 



There is no other book like it in the world. You 

 don't need to know medical words or medicines to 

 understand it. It is written cjearly and simply 

 and has back of it the personal experience which 

 tried and proved every step of the way to a long 

 and healthy life. You can follow the same way. 

 The book is only one year old. but over 5150 copies 

 of it to date are making men and women healthier 

 and happier because they have read and followed 

 the teachings of its pages. 



Nearly a thousand copies of this helpful book 

 have been distributed through the publishers of 

 "Gleanings IN Bek Culture." and not a single 

 reader has expressed regret at his bargain. Mr. A. 

 I. Root heartily endorses Mr. Terry's writings on 

 health subjects. Contains 220 pages, substantially 

 bound in cloth; $1.00 per copy postpaid. 



The Dollar Hen 



"Every few days the friends write me, asking what poultry-book they had better purchase— which 

 one I would recommend above all others, etc. Well, to get right down to it there is no best poultry-book. 

 There are many good ones, but no one book contains all that is good. The one that is most emphatic 

 against humbugs and frauds, especially costly Tnedicines for dosing chickens, etc., is the one I have fre- 

 quently referred to, "The Dollar Hen," by Milo M. Ha.stings. 



The Dollar Hen Is a real book, substantially bound— not a paper-bound pamphlet of "System." 

 "Secrets," or "Methods," but a book worth several dollars of any poultrvman's money. "The Dollar 

 Hen " is a vast fund of valuable information that reciulred much time, expense, and effort. Contains 

 more than 200 pages; price postpaid 81-00 per copy. 



A B C of Strawberry Culture 



Fully illustrated, 235 pages: Price 45f ; by mail, 5c 

 extra; cloth, 68c: by mall, 75c. New edition, revised 

 and enlarged. This is also one of Terry's and has 

 received some very high words of praise. Who that 

 keeps honeybees does not also have a little garden 

 patch? If you would learn to raise in it that most 

 luscious of all fruits, the strawberry, with the best 

 results, you can not be without this little book. 

 Even if you don't grow strawberries you will be the 

 better for reading It. 



Tomato Culture 



In three parts. By J. W. Day, D. Cummins, and 

 A. I. Root; a most valuable treatise, embracing 

 field culture, forcing under glass, and raising plants 

 for market. Valuable to any one raising garden 

 stuflf of any kind aside from tomatoes. 150 pages 

 illustrated. Price 35c; by mail 40c. 



Tile Drainage 



By W. I. Chamberlain. This is a valuable com- 

 panion to our other rural books. It embraces the 

 experience of 40 years of one of our foremost prac- 

 tical agriculturists, who has laid with his own 

 hands over 15 miles of tile. Price 35c; mall, 40c. 



Our Farming 



By T. B. Terry. In which he tells " how we have 

 made a run-down farm bring both profit and pleas- 

 ure." This is a large book, 6x9 inches, 367 pages, 

 quite fully illustrated. It is Terry'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. 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.

 paid, 50c; by express or freight with other goods, 

 10c less.

 ing, fruit culture, poultry-raising, etc. Price in

Celery for Profit 



The first really full and complete book on celery
