GOOD BOOKS AT A BARGAIN 



Talks on Manures, by Joseph Harris — a $1.50 

 book now ofifered at 75 cts. 



The Dollar Hen — a $1.00 book that had a large 

 sale, which we now offer at 75 cts. 



The New Rhubarb Culture — a 50-cent book which 

 we now offer at 35 cts. 



Tile Drainage, by W. I. Chamberlain ; recently 

 revised and brought up to date; a 50-cent book 

 which we now offer for 40 cts., postpaid. 



Practical Cement Work. An elementary trea- 

 tise on cement construction. The way cement is 

 rapidly taking the place of stone, brick, and lum- 

 ber, and the way almost everybody is getting to 

 handle it more or less, makes it exceedingly im- 

 portant to have a reliable handbook for the people 

 at large. This book has 110 pages, and the regu- 

 lar price is 50 cts. Instead of- 50 cts. you may 

 have it for just 15 cts. as long as the 11 copies 

 last which we still have on hand. 



" Letters from an Old Farmer to his Son." This 

 book was put out in 1914, and was advertised to 

 be clubbed with Gleanings about a year ago. The 

 book (by W. R. Lighton, author of " Happy Hollow 

 Farm") contains many valuable and praiseworthy 

 suggestions. It is a dollar book ; but as we have only 

 eisht copies left you may have them for 50 cts. each 

 postpaid. 



Tomato Culture — a 40-oent book. This book 

 has also gone thru several editions. The last part 

 of it is by A. I. Root, and is devoted chiefly to the 

 matter of supporting a family on one-fourth of an 

 acre of groiind. It is also devoted largely to gar- 

 dening under glass. The price of the book is 

 40 cts. ; but as we have quite a stock on hand we 

 offer it for 25 cts. postpaid. 



Ijast, but not'least, the book "What to Do and 

 How to be Happy While Doing It." See notices 

 of this book under Special Notices in our issue for 

 May 15 last. The book has been sold for years at 

 65 cts., bound in cloth; paper, 40 cts. We have 

 reduced the price to 25 cts. for the cloth-bound 

 copy and 15 cts. for the paper. For extended 

 notices of the above books, see Special Notices in 

 our issues for May 15, June 1, and June 15, 1916.
