ie ree ie 

THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1910 


I personally recommend to all my customers 
The Practical Farmer 
Established 1855 
Itis unique in Agricultural Journalism. It contains | 
all the departments relating to crop growing and | 
stock raising, and each department so thoroughly 
covers the ground that it is better than the average 
publication which is specially published for that 
particular branch. Agriculture, Stock and Dairy, 
Veterinary, Garden, Horticulture and Poultry are each 
under the editorial supervision of trained and prac- 
tical men in their particular branches; men who 
have devoted their lives to that one phase of farm 
or garden work, and who are recognized leaders in 
their specialties. The result is that the Garden 
Department, for instance, gives the practical ex- | 
perience and every day results of all that is latest 
and best in gardening. The problems that perplex | 
the gardener day by day are elucidated and ex- 
plained, and the hard places made smooth. What 
is true of the Garden Department is true also of 

the other Departments named below. T. B. Terry’s 
Health Hints have given him a National reputa- 
tion and are published exclusively in The Practi- 
cal Farmer. 
The Query Department is the strongest and most 
helpful in the whole Agricultural Press. Here is 
the clearing house for the knotty questions that are 
constantly arising in the farm and garden opera- 
tions of its thousands of subscribers, and to which 
the best thought and experience of its trained edi- 
tors and other high authorities is given. Every 
week answers that cover the whole range of farm, 
garden and stable are published, and the 52 num- 
bers of the year will be found a veritable ency- 
clopedia of agricultural information, each year’s 
numbers making a complete agricultural library. 
These departments and the Five Special Depart- 
ments described below make The Practical Farmer 
+The Best Agricultural Paper in America 
These Five Special Departments are ‘Our Exper- 
ience Pool,’’? devoted to the weekly discussion of} 
various Farm, Garden and Barn Practices; ‘‘Farm 
Implement Annex,” treating of farm and household 
machinery, its care and use; ‘‘Short Cuts,” giving 
short, quick and effective ways of reaching results 
in the farm, garden and household; ‘‘Mistakes, Fail- 
ures and Successes,’? showing when and how suc- 
cess has been achieved or failure met, and ‘‘Postal | 
| 
Card Correspondence,’’ a weekly resume of crop 
conditions and crop prices, beside other interesting 
items from all sections of the United States and 
Canada. These Five Special Departments are 
made up entirely from contributions by its sub- 
secribers from every State and territory in the Union 

as well as the provinces of Canada. Cash is paid 
for every contribution published in these depart- 
ments. There is nothing like them in any other 
farm or garden publication. We pay our subscrib- 
ers over $1,200 each year for their contributions 
published in its columns, independent of its regu- 
lar editcrs and contributors. That is why it is 
unique, and why it is the most practical agricul- 
tural paper on earth. It has also the best women’s 
department of any journal. Mrs. V. C. Melville, 
has had years of experience with the wants and 
needs of the women of the farm, and the result is 
a Home Circle Department that is absolutely un- 
| equaled in the interest of its contests and its use- 
fulness to its readers. 
It is National in its Character and Scope 
Published 52 times in the year for $1.00. 
3 years for $2.00. 
Canada subscriptions $1.50. Other foreign subscriptions $2.00.
