FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this large and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in another column by J. C. iNIcCunly & 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 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 bo'ok 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

TJndfcr this name we offer to Merchants and Farmers a 



of superior excellence. Not till this year had the stock increased sufficiently to offer it for sale 

 — the strain all being derived from one stool selected five years ago. We control every bushel 

 and expect to distribute it widely, feeling sure that it is an acquisition of vaU-.e, being Hardy, 

 Vigrorous, Early, Stiff in Straw, very Prolific, entirely from Bust, and making Flour of the 

 Highect (jnality. This Wheat is far superior to the Clawson, and those svlio sow it this Au- 

 tumn v/ill be able to sell to their neighbors for Seed all the resulting crop at good prices. We 

 do not expect any will be sent to mill. 



We append a few sworn testimonials showing the estimation in which it is held by well 

 known millers in the State of New York.

 Having grotind and baked some of the flour made 

 from the " Landrcth " "White Wheat, wo find the Wheat 

 to be A No. 1 White, and a first-class wheat fur grinding. 

 The flour being very white, the bran thin and light. We 

 regard the "Laridreth" Wheat much superior to the 

 Clawson variety. We saw it before it was harvested, 

 the heads were very large, the straw bright and stitT, and 

 think it wili;become one of the leading wheats.

O^^D, August 14. 

 I have ground trial samples of the New Wheat " Lan- 

 drcth," and find it excelling the Clawson and equ^l to 

 any variety I have ever seen. The berry is large, white, 

 with thin skin and light bran. The fiour makes unusu- 

 ally white bread. M. MAXWELL,
