2E^jHE Rural Library, is a series it 

 of monthly issues of popu- 

 lar pamphlets on scientific 

 and practical topics in agri- 

 culture and horticulture. 

 Each, is intended to be a 

 complete manual of the sub- 

 | ject treated. They are written or edited by 

 | men and women whose broad knowledge of 

 & the specialties on which they write is undis- 

 £ puted. The range of subjects to be comprised 

 I is well illustrated by the titles of the books 

 | already issued or soon to appear. Among these 

 | are: ''Cross-breeding and Hybridizing of 

 I Plants," "Chemicals and Clover," "The Busi- 

 | ness Hen," "The Tuberous Begonia/' "How to 

 | Plant a Place," "Rats and Other Vermin," and 

 i| "Canning and Preserving Fruits and Vegeta- 

 | bles." Others to come will, in turn, enter upon 

 I all departments of rural activity wherein more 

 I extended information is required than the news- 

 si paper article can furnish, or wherein existing 

 | books fail to condense^ properly for handy use 

 I the particular information wanted. For terms, 

 | see second page of cover of this issue.
