GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE, 



945 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 oO 



In which he tells " how we have made a ruu-down 

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book, 0x9 inches, 3(i7 pages, quite ful- 

 ly illustrated. It is Terry's fir.st large book ; and while 

 it touches on the topics treated in his smaller hand- 

 books, it is sufficiently different so that no one will 

 complain of repetition, even if he has read all of Ter- 

 ry's little books. I should call it the brightest and 

 most practical book on farming, before the world at 

 the present day. The price is :if'2.00 postpaid, but we 

 have made arrangements to furnish it for only SI. 50. 



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 monej-'s worth after he 

 has read it. If ordered by express or freight with 

 other goods, 10c less.

5 I Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain 35 



Fully illustrated, containing every thing of impor- 

 tance clear up to the present date. 



The single chapter on digging ditches, with the il- 

 lustrations given by Prof. Chamberlain, should alone 

 make the book woith what it costs, to every one who 

 has occasion to lay ten rods or mere of tile. There is 

 as much science in digging as in doing almost any 

 thing else ; and by following the plan directed in the 

 book, one man will often do as much as two men with- 

 out this knowledge. The book embraces every thing 

 connected with the subject, and was written by the 

 author while he was engaged in the work of digging 

 the ditches and laj'ing the tiles HIMSt^IyF, for he has 

 laid literally miles of tile on his own farm in Hudson, 

 Ohio. 



3 Tomato Culture 35 



3 Vegetables under Glass, by H. A. Dreer** 20 



3 Winter Care of Hor.ses and Cattle 25 



This is friend Terry's second book in regard to farm 

 matters ; but it is so intimately connected with his po- 

 tato-book that it reads almost like a sequel to it. If you 

 have only a horseor a cow, I thitik it will pay you to 

 invest in a book. It has 41 pages and 4 cuts.
