FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this large and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in another column by .T. C. McCurdy ic Co., 

 of Phiiufk-lphia, the well-known publishers of Standard 

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

 gether the l^KST work of the kind wliieh has ever been 

 published. Thoroughly treating the great subjects of 

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

 ness l*rinciples, and Home Life; lelHnjj just wliat 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 exeit a mighty inlhienee for good. It Is 

 highly rccoinuicnded by the best agricultural writers 

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

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-lt

Having ground and baked .some of tlie Hour made 

 from the " Lnndreth " White Wheat, w.- Hiid the Wheat 

 to be A Xo. 1 White, and a lirst-ela.ss wheat for grinding. 

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

 regard the "Landreth" Wheat mueh superior to the 

 Clawson variety. We saw it before it was harvesteti, 

 the heads were very large, the straw bright and stif}', and 

 think it wil!;becomc one of the leading wheats.
