OUR FARMING 
T. B. TERRY’S BOOK. 
Telling how he made a run down and 
worn out farm the most widely 
known in the State of Ohio. 
: COMPLETE record of his farm 
work, covering a period of 23 years. 
Mr. Terry is the best known farmer in 
the United States, and one of the most 
successful. He began farming handi- 
capped by all the difficulties that can: 
environ any farmer. He was without 
experience, he had a small, very poor 
farm, he was heavily in debt, and with- 
out stock and implements, yet he over- 
came all these difficulties, paid off his 
debts, made his farm rich and product- 
ive, and has accumulated money. Dur- 
Ing the recent depression, while farm 
products were at the lowest notch, 
and many were fortunate if they could 
pay taxes and come out even, Mr. 
Terry was making almost as largea 
percentage of profit as he ever did. 
Crop Growing and 
Crop Feeding 
A book for the Farm, Garden and Orchard. 
With special reference to the practical meth- 
ods of using Commercial Fertilizers therein. 
By W. F. Massey, 
| Editor of The Practical Farmer, member of 
the National Geographic Society, Vice Presi- 
dent of the N. C. Horticultural Society. 
This book is the result of an effort to put in- 
to the plain language of the farm the facts 
which scientists have worked out in the 
laboratory, and which practical experience 
has proved to be applicable to the every day 
work of the farm. It is written for men who 
Know nothing of chemistry, but who are anx- 
ious to learn something of the chemical com- 
binations that are of value in the feeding of 
crops, and the best way to use them in the 
permanent improvement of their soil. For 
men who know nothing of the mysteries of 
plant life, but who are anxious to learn how 
plants live, grow and perform all their work 
in soil and air, so that they may be better able 
to comprehend their needs, and supply them 
in a rational manner. 
While endeavoring to make the book 
scientifically accurate in all its statements, 
Mr. Massey has tried to avoid all pedantry, 
and to make the whole so plain that the 
“wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err.” 
The Country Gentleman has this to say:— 
“Crop Growing and Crop Feeding” as its 
title indicates, covers a wide scope for a 
volume of 380 pages. It is really a treatise on
