FARMING FOR PROFIT. 



It is conceded that this large and comprehensive book, 

 (advertised in another cohmin by J. O. I\IcCurdy & Co., 

 of Philadelphia, the well-known publisliers of Standard 

 works,) i.s not only 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, Fvuit-Growing, Busi- 

 ness Principles, and Home Life; telling just what the 

 farmer and the farmer's l>oys want to know, combining 

 Science and Prneticf, stimulating thought, awakening 

 inquiry, and interesting every member of the family, 

 this !)ook must exert u mighty intluence for good. It i.s 

 highly recunmendtd by the best agricultural writers 

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

 tensive sale. Agents are wanted everywhere. jan-ll

THE COOLEY CREAMER 



liaises all the cream between the inilkmgs. Saves two-thirds the labor. 

 Increases yield of butter. Improves the quality. Quadruples the value 

 of skim milk. Will pay for itself twice or more every season. The 

 Cooley System is the only uniform dairy method in existence. Eequires 

 no spring house, or milk room. May be placed in a shed, cellar, or any 

 place that cold water is handy. 



The Best Hired Girl. 



In the fall of 1879 I bought a Cooley Creamer. I have used it ever since with entire 

 satisfiiction. It makes more butter, of better quality, without ice, and half the labor, than 

 the old process. A lady friend who has used one for about six months says it is " the best 

 hired girl " she ever had. I have also used the Davis Swing Churn for the last 16 months 

 and am highly pleased with it. It churns the cream at a higher temperature and bring.s the 

 butter in a better condition than any other churn. I have given the Eureka Butter Worker 

 a fair trial, and am liai)py to recommend it to others. I can work twenty pounds of butter 

 with it in five minutes, and thus save a half hour's work. 



Yours truly, 



Mt. Holley, Burlington County, N. J., August 22, 1881.
