The New Agriculture 



By 



T. BYARD COLLINS 



8vo. Cloth. 376 Pages 

 100 Illustrations 

 Price, $2.00, Postpaid 



HIS new and valuable work sets forth the changes which 

 have taken place in American agricultural methods which 

 are transforming farm life, formerly so hard, into the most 

 independent, peaceful and agreeable existence. Farm life 

 to-day offers more inducements than at any previous period 

 in the world's history, and it is calling millions from the 

 desk. The present work is one of the most practical treatises on the 

 subject ever issued. It contains 376 pages and 100 illustrations. 



In brief, the Contents are as follows 



CHAPTER I. This chapter contains a general statement of the advantages of farm life. 

 CHAPTER II. Deals with the vast systems of irrigation which are transforming the great 



West, and also hints at an application of water by artificial means in sections of the country 



where irrigation has not hitherto been found necessary. 

 CHAPTER III. Gives the principles and importance of fertilization and the possibility of inocu- 

 lating the soil by means of nitrogen-gathering bacteria. 

 CHAPTER IV. Deals with the popular awakening to the importance of canals and good roads, 



and their relation to economy and social well-being. 

 CHAPTER V. Tells of some new interests which promise a profit. 

 CHAPTER VI. Gives a description of some new human creations in the plant world. 

 CHAPTER VII. Deals with new varieties of grain, root and fruit, and the principles upon which 



these modifications are effected and the possibilities which they indicate. 

 CHAPTER VIII. Describes improper methods in agricultural practice. 

 CHAPTER IX. Devoted to new machinery by which the drudgery of life on the farm is being 



eliminated, making the farm a factory and the farmer the manager of it. 

 CHAPTER X Shows the relation of a body of specialists to the American farmer, who can have 



the most expert advice upon every phase of his work without any expense whatever to himself.
