Ready October 1st. 
An entirely new Book on Farming, entitled : 
HOW THE FARM PAYS, 
WILLIAM CROZIER and PETER HENDERSON. 
The following extract from the introduction, best tells the scope and plan of the work : 
“Tt is doubtful if any book on agriculture has ever been written in this country, of 
which the writers have had opportunities for such extensive and varied experience as have 
the authors of this work. Wur1am Crozier is, perhaps now better known than any other 
farmer on this continent, principally from the fact that for the past twenty years the exhibi- 
tion of his fine stock and other farm products has enabled him to take more prizes than 
any other working farmer in the country, and that to-day the dairy and farm at Northport, 
L. L., on which these products have been raised, are models worthy of imitation by the tens - 
of chokeindide engaged in farming who have failed to make it the profitable business that it 
has been, and still continues to be, to Mr. Crozier. The co-author, Perrr Henperson, the 
senior member of our firm, although not a farmer, has long been considered as is well known, 
an authority on all matters relating to practical garden work. His book, Gardening for 
Profit, now in the hands of probably 100,000 readers, has shown how to make gardening 
pay. In the present work, Mr. Henderson tells in plain words the manner of growing such 
Vegetables and Fruits as can best be made profitable on the farm, besides interchanging 
with Mr. Crozier his opinion on such operations of the farm as his long practice in ecultiva- 
ting the soil enables him to do. 
‘* Mr. Crozier and Mr. Henderson have had the project in contemplation, of getting up @ a 
work on American farming for the past ten years; but both being engaged in the active 
work of their large operations on the farm and garden, it is doubtful if they would ever 
have got together to accomplish it, unless the idea had been conceived of getting the work 
up in conversational form, the words as spoken being taken down by a stenographer. This 
simplified the work of book making greatly, and it is believed that given in this way, it has 
been made plainer and more interesting to the reader, than if written in the usual manner. 
The benefit of this plan is derived from the fact that the answer often suggests the question, 
just such as the reader would be likely to ask, but with no one at his elbow to answer. It 
is here answered to the satisfaction of the questioner, or if not, the question is repeated un- 
til the subject has been made clear.” 
We expect to have copies ready for sale by October Ist. How raz Farm Pays isa 
large octavo volume of 400 pages, profusely illustrated and handsomely bound in cloth.
