Outing Handbooks 



The Farmer's Vegetable Garden. This is designed especially for 

 home growing with some reference, however, to the possibilities 

 of market use of over supply. It gives the latest and best 

 advice on the raising of the staple vegetables, such as potatoes, 

 cabbages, beans, peas, turnips, and so forth. It also shows 

 the farmer how, without material trouble or expense he may 

 enrich his table with new varieties and lengthen the season 

 of his garden's productiveness. It is a manual for the gardener 

 who has only odd times to devote to his garden and its 

 advice is intended to enable him to use that time to the 

 highest advantage. 



Farm Planning. It is a vexing problem with every practical 

 farmer to get the greatest possible use out of his land with the 

 least possible waste. A stony hillside is not suitable for the 

 raising of wheat but it may furnish an excellent location for 

 an orchard. A piece of swampy bottom land may not be 

 ideal for barley but with proper drainage and cultivation it 

 may be unexcelled for a vegetable garden. This book deals 

 with just such problems and also with the placing of farm 

 buildings, yards, and so forth, in order to make them fit in, 

 so that the farm may be kept constantly at its highest pitch of 

 usefulness. 



The Fine Art of Fishing. By Samuel G. Camp. Combines the 

 pleasure of catching fish with the gratification of following the 

 sport in the most approved manner. The suggestions offered 

 are helpful to beginner and expert anglers. The range of 

 fish and fishing conditions covered is wide and includes such 

 subjects as "Casting Fine and Far Off," "Strip-Casting for 

 Bass," "Fishing for Mountain Trout," and "Autumn Fishing 

 for Lake Trout." The book is pervaded with a spirit of love foi 

 the streamside and the out-doors generally which the genu- 

 ine angler will appreciate. A companion book to "Fishing: 

 Kits and Equipment." The advice on outfitting so capably 

 given in that book is supplemented in this later work by equally 

 valuable information on how to use the equipment.

 and other fresh-water game fishes. Prices are quoted for all

 ta.tions. Chapters are included on draft-horses, carriage horses,

 tinctly a sensible book for the sensible man who wishes to
