This is unquestionably tne most important agricultural cyclopedic 

 work published in this country. The leading experts in the United 

 States and Canada, both investigators and practical farmers, con- 

 tribute to its chapters, which are arranged not alphabetically, but 

 topically, each subject being treated in its various aspects by men 

 especially familiar with it. It contains advice for the city man who 

 is seeking a home in the country, as well as for the professional 

 farmer. The book is strictly new and up-to-date in its methods and 

 advice, thoroughly readable, and a standard work of reference. It 

 is profusely illustrated, about one-third of the total space being 

 assigned to illustrations all original. 



"Indispensable to public and reference libraries . . . readily 

 comprehensible to any person of average education." The Nation. 



"The completest existing thesaurus of up-to-date facts and 

 opinions on modern agricultural methods. It is safe to say that many 

 years must pass before it can be surpassed in comprehensiveness, 

 accuracy, practical value, and mechanical excellence. It ought to 

 be in every library in the country." Record-Herald, Chicago.
