GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



953 



5 | Manures; How to Make and How to Use 



Them ; in paper covers 30 



6 | The same in cloth covers 65 



| Nut Culturist, postpaid 1 50 



3 | Onions for Profit** 40 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old 

 onion culture and the new method. The book is fully 

 illustrated, and written with all the enthusiasm and 

 interest that characterizes its author, T. Greiner. 

 Even if one is not particularly interested in the busi- 

 ness, almost any person who picks up Greiner's books 

 will like to read them through. 



| Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 50 



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

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book, 6x1) inches, 367 pages, quite ful- 

 ly illustrated. It is Terry's first 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 $2.00 postpaid, but we 

 have made arrangements to furnish it for only $1.50. 



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 mone3''s worth after he 

 has read it. If ordered by express or freight with 

 other goods, 10c less. 



1 | Poultry for Pleasure and Profit.** 10 



8 Practical Floriculture, Henderson.* 1 10 



10 Profits in Poultry.* 75 



2 I Practical Turkey-raising .... 10 



By Fanny Field. This is a 25-cent book which we 



offer for 10 cts. ; postage, 2 cts. 



2 | Rats : How to Rid Farms and Buildings of 

 them, as well as other Pests of like Charac- 

 ter.** 15 



1 I Silk and the Silkworm 10 



10 Small-Fruit Culturist, Fuller 1 10 



2 | Sorghum, Stock Beets, Strawberries, and Ce- 



ment Floors. By Waldo F. Brown 08 



This little book ought to be worth its cost for what 

 is said on each of the four different subjects; and the 

 chapter on cement floors may be worth many dollars 

 to anybody who has to use cement for floors, walks, 

 or any thing else. In fact, if you follow the exceed- 

 ingly plain directions you may save several dollars on 

 one single job; and not only that, get a better cement 

 floor than the average mason will make. 



10 I Talks on Manures* 1 35 



7 Ten Acres Enough 75 



10 I The New Agriculture ; or, the Waters Led Cap- 

 tive (a $1.50 book) 40 



2 I Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases 10 



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 worth 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 laying the tiles HIMSELF, for he has 

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

 Ohio. 



3 I Tomato Culture 35 



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



3 | Vegetables in the Open Air 20 



This is a sort of companion book to the one above. 

 Both books are most fully illustrated, and are exceed- 

 ingly valuable, especially at the ve:y low price at 

 which they are sold. The author, H. A. Dreer, has a 

 greenhouse of his own that covers one solid acre, and 

 he is pretty well conversant with all the arrangements 

 and plans for protecting stuff from the weather, and 

 afterward handling to the best advantage when the 

 weather will permit out of doors. 



3 | Winter Care of Horses 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 think it will pay you to 



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



3 I Wood's Common Objects of the Microscope**. . 47

It, by A. I. Root 42
