This is unquestionably the most important agricultural cyclopedic work published 

 in this country. The leading experts in the United States and Canada, both investigators 

 and practical farmers, contribute 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 comprehensive- 

 ness, accuracy, practical value, and mechanical excellence. It ought to be in every library in the 

 the country." — Record-Herald, Chicago. 



"To the man who wishes to study farming in its various aspects or to practice agriculture, 

 this work will appeal strongly." — Literary Digest. 



"The 'Cyclopedia of American Agriculture' is unique."— A'ew York Tribune-Farmer.
