FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this large and comprehensive 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 handsomest, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind w^hich has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

 general Agriculture, I^ive-Stock, Fruit-Growing, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home Life; telling just what the 

 farmer and the farmer's boys want to know, c^ombining 

 Science and Practice, stiniidating 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 agricultural writers 

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

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt
