/lOWTHE FARM PAYS 



_ By PETER HENDERSON and WM. CRQZIER. 



'Tt.N acknowledged authority for Farmers. Gives all the Latest Methods of Growing- 

 i\ Grass, Grain, Root Crops, Fruits, etc.; and all about Stock, Farm Machiner3', etc., 

 ' \^ etc. It is written in a plain and eas3'-to-be-understood lang-uage. Everything 

 pertaining- to scientific or abstruse svibjects has been ignored, the information given be- 

 ing the most direct to make the work of the farm pay, which the so-called scientific 

 farmer rarely does. This is perhaps the first book of the kind ever written by two men 

 while actuall}' engaged in the work which, to both, has been such a continued success — 

 hence, their advice is practical and doubly valuable.
