FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this hirge and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in anollicr column by J. C. McCurdy A: Co., 

 of Philadelpliia, the well-known publishers of Standard 

 works,) is not only the newest and handsomest, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind which has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly tre:iting the great subjects of 

 general AfiHculture, Live-tftock, Fruit-Growing;, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home I^ife; telling just ^what the 

 farmer and the fiinner's boys want to know, condjining 

 Science and Practice, stimulating thought, awakening 

 inquiry, and interesting every member of the family, 

 this book must exert a mighty influence for good. ]t 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 



LANDRETH'S 



BLOOHSD.\LE SWEDE, OR RLT.l B.IGA, 



Is the result of critical selection, and has proved to be 

 unquestionably the most desiralile of all known strains of 



PURPLE TOP YELLOW RUTA BAGA. 



The foliage is not supera- 

 bundant, the shape is nearly 

 globular, the crown deep 

 purple, and the flesh a deep 

 yellow. The illustration con- 

 veys a good if lea of the shape 

 assumed by this strain.

Every farmer should sow Turnip Seeds. A good stock 

 of turnips is the best and most economical food for cattle 

 during the winter and early spring months. Also, 

 turnips grown on the ground, and plowed in, make very 

 valuable manure.
