 farmer what the Nature Library does for the student and lover 

 of nature. The first volume, "COTTON," by C. W. Burkett and 

 Clarence H. Poe is ready, and others are to follow at the rate of 

 two or three a year. Here every farmer, every man who has a 

 country place, every person who has anything to do with the soil, will 

 find an interesting, readable, practical, specific guide to the whole 

 subject. The volumes will be approximately as follows :
