A STANDARD WORK REVISED AND ENLARGED 



The Farm and Garden Rule Book 



By LIBERTY H BAILEY 



Illustrated, cloth, i2mo, $2.00 net 



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, ex- 

 tending it to cover the field of general farming, stock raising, 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 informa- 

 tion and precepts on almost every leading subject connected with country life.
