" This is another, and probably the last, of the series of agricultural hand- 

 books, which are convenient in form, handy in price, and bring the informa- 

 tion fairly up to date. The truthful illustrations of the various plants to be 

 used, the preparation of the soil, the cultivation of the crop during its early 

 stages, the means by which permanent fertility may be maintained these 

 are all matters which are clearly dealt with. The treatment of meadows, 

 haymaking, &c., are very fully entered into, as also the cultivation of artificial 

 grasses, fodder crops, &c." Field. 



Uniform with the above Series. 



BRITISH BEE-FARMING: ITS PROFITS 

 AND PLEASURES. 



By JAMES F. ROBINSON. 

 With 21 Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, 55. 



" It puts before the public, on unquestionable authority, an unvarnished 

 and honest statement of the advantages and difficulties (such as these are) of 

 bee-keeping, and is in itself, therefore, a far more powerful incentive to the 

 industry than any number of philanthropic or sentimental exhortations to the 

 same object." Daily Telegraph.

THE PLEASURES AND PROFITS OF 



OUR LITTLE POULTRY FARM. 



By G. HILL. 



" A charming picture of rural life." 



"This is not by any means a dry collection of statistics, garnished with 

 frequent tables bristling with figures. On the contrary, it is a very pleasantly 

 written record of the successful experiments in poultry-farming made by a 

 gentleman who had settled down on a small property in the north-east part 

 of Hampshire. There is an abundance of useful information for those who 

 are interested in the keeping of poultry."
