The Farm and Garden Rule Book 



A Standard Work Revised and Enlarged. 



BY L. H. BAILEY 



Illustrated, cloth, i2mo, $2.00 postage extra 



When Professor Bailey's " Horticulturist's Rule Book " was published nearly 

 twenty-five years ago, the volume became a standard agricultural work running 

 through sixteen editions. Taking this book as a basis, the author has now made 

 a wholly new book, extending it to cover the field of general farming, stock-rais- 

 ing, dairying, poultry-rearing, horticulture, gardening, forestry, and the like. It 

 is essentially a small cyclopedia of ready rules and references, packed full from 

 cover to cover of condensed, meaty information and precepts on almost every 

 leading subject connected with country life.
