 preparation of the other two books, and whose contributions have been freely used in this one,

A STANDARD WORK REVISED AND ENLARGED 



The Farm and Garden Rule Book 



By L. H. BAILEY 



Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $2.00 



When Professor Bailey's "Horticulturist's Rule Book" was published nearly twenty-five 

 years ago, the volume became a standard agricultural work running through sixteen editions. 

 Taking this book as a basis, the author has now made a wholly new book, extending it to cover 

 the field of general farming, stock-raising, dairying, poultry-rearing, horticulture, gardening, 

 forestry, and the like. It is essentially a small cyclopedia of ready rules and references, packed full 

 from cover to cover of condensed, meaty information and precepts on almost every leading 

 subject connected with country life.
