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 onlv the newest and handsomest, but alto- 

 gether the BEST work of the kind which has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

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

 ness Principle.s, 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 agricultural writers 

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

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt 



LANDRETH'S 



BLOOMSDALE SWEDE, OR RETA BAGA, 



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

 unquestionably the most desirable 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 coa- 

 veys a good idea 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 manui'e.
