FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It 13 conceded that this large and comprehen.sive book, 

 (advertised in another column by J. C. McCurdy & Co., 

 of Philadelphia, the well-known publishers of Standard 

 works,) is not only the newest and handsome.'st, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind which lias ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

 general Agriculture, Live-Stock, Fruit-Growing, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home Life; telling just what the 

 farmer and the farmer's boys want to know, combining 

 Science and Practice, stimulating thought, awakening 

 inquiry, and interesting every member of the family, 

 this book must exert a mighty influence for good. It Is 

 highly recommended by the best agriciUtural writers 

 and the leading papers, and is destined to liave an ex- 

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt
