A STANDARD WORK REVISED AND ENLARGED 



The Farm and Garden Rule Book 



By LIBERTY H. BAILEY 



Illustrated, cloth, 12mo, $2.00 net 

 When Professor Bailey's "Horticulturist's Rule Book" was published nearly 

 twenty-five years ago, the volume became a standard agricultural work running 

 through sixteen editions. Taking this book as a basis the author has now made a 

 wholly new book, extending it to cover the field of general farming, stock-raising, 

 dairying, poultry-rearing, horticulture, gardening, forestry, and the like. It is 

 essentially a small cyclopedia of ready rules and references packed full from coyer 

 to cover of condensed, meaty information and precepts on almost every leading 

 subject connected with country life.
