“Have You Read Terry’s Articles ? was 
If so, you will want to read this book. In it will be found 
the gist of all he has previously written, and yet more valu- 
able than that, because he has been learning in the school of 
experience, and now gives to his readers all that he has learn- 
ed in that school. A valuable education, because acquired by 
a level-headed, practical, clear thinking man, who counts the 
cost and forecasts the result of every step he takes, and fol- 
lows his business with his eyes opened. 
IF You Have Not Read His Articles cg. 
Then you certainly ought to read this book. Mr. T. is one of 
the most successful farmers in the country. And yet he started 
in the business without any knowledge of it, practical or theo- 
retical, on a run-down farm that had impoverished its previous 
owner and everyone else who rented it; and has brought it up 
so that to-day itis one of the model farms of the country. How 
he succeeded in this undertaking, he tellsinthisbook. It took 
hard work, perseverance and grit, but he demonstrates that it 
is within the reach of every farmer similarly situated. 
EVERY YOUNG FARIIER 
Should have a copy of “Our Farming.” It will show him the 
possibilities that are within his reach, stimulate him to try 
better methods and give him a fair picture of what he can 
attain. Mr. Terry condenses into this book what he has been 
preaching through the Agricultural Press for the last ten years 
—more intelligent, and therefore more profitable farming.

Mr. Terry’s Book at Half Price. 
Tana. a one of the most prominent papers in 
The Maal and Haupi ess, New York City, contained in a recent 
issue, the following excellent editorial comment in regard to ‘Our Farm- 
ing,’ which is so good that it is worth publishing here. It is only 2\. 
one of the many excellent reviews accorded Mr. Terry’s book by the 
press in all sections of the country. 
‘OUR FARMING.”’’ 
This is the title of a book recently published from the pen of a man well-known 
among agriculturists as a shrewd, practical, and hence successful farmer. To 
quote the sub-title of the volume, it tells ‘how we madea run-down farm bring is} | 
profit and pleasure.’’ But it actually tells more than that. Itis substantially an | 
autobiography, giving the history of the writer from boyhood up to date. In ™ 
two or three opening pages it shows him as a boy bropght up in town, & 
with no taste of farm work except weeding in his father’s garden. His 
earlier business ventures are described, in which are plainly seen that peculiar i=} 
combination of shrewdness and verdancy so characteristic of our young men. @ 
He makes a little money, only a very little, buying butter and cheese on ° 
commission, marries a girl who has a small fortune of $113, when he is so poor that 
he cannot think of buying a wedding ring for her finger. He falls heir toa fine 
farm in Lllinois, out of which he is cheated by asharp Western lawyer. He trades 
a poor note of $1,200 for twelve acres of land, on which he builds a house. Then he 
trades this house and land, on which he cannot afford to live, fora run-down farm 
of fifty acres, which he does not want, ten cows and a note for $1,500. Many of his 
cows died and the maker of the note failed. He rented the farm for $300, of which 
sum he only received ‘‘a small grist of wheat and an old buggy,” and _ then paid his 
tenant $50 to move away and surrender the farm to him. This was done not from 
desire to become a farmer, but in desperation. But with the payment of that $50 
came the turning point in the writer’s career. Verdancy disappeared and the solid, 
enduring qualities of manhood showed themselves. Forced to begin lifein an un- 
congenial calling, in debt, but with a reputation for honesty, he set to work on that 
worn-out farm of fifty acres. The book tells how well he succeeded. It does more 
than this. The author of the volume is more than asuccessful farmer. He is a ry 
painter. That is to say, on every page of his volume the reader can plainly see the | 
distinguishing characteristics of the writer. Hefeared no amount of hard work. | 
He worked with his brains as much as with his body. He was never Satisfied until 
a thing was just right. He determined to do a few things well rather than many a 
things poorly. And the amount of energy, hard work, determination, painstaking 
and good common-sense that he put into the soil of that worn-out old farm would 
make farming successful in the very sands of the desert. Nature has no barrier 
stern enough to hold such a man short of his goal. The book itself is written in the § 
simplest, most matter-of-fact way. It makes no pretensions to rhetorical or literary } 
style. It is conversational all the way through. yet it is as interesting as a romance, 
and as full of wisdom on onesubjectas isShakespeare, Thatsubject isfarming. And ,) ¢ 
in all the range of works of its class we know of none comparable with itin importance = ) 
and value. It not only tells what ought to be done, but shows how to do it in the 
best way and with a minuteness of detail that is simply perfect. In a way, the € iy 
writer of it may be said to be dogmatic, positive in his ideas and opinions. But he & ft, 
gives such facts, arguments and explanations to sustain those opinions, as to lead we 
the reader to an irresistible agreement with him. Mr. Terry, the author, has given 4h 
a grand book to the public. It will do dwellers in our cities—laborers, merchants 
and professional men—good to read it, since it smells so of mother earth and is so =

full of simple pictures of homely earnestness and of quiet country life and work. 
But no man who cultivates the soil, whether it be half an acre for a garden or an le, 
immense ranch, can afford to be without it for constant reference. Forsuch aman = 
it solves many hard problems, and marks out, with a care which seems to have ™ 
forgotten nothing, a plain road to both profit and pleasure in farming. The men of Ls] 
this class in this country owe a large debt of gratitude to Mr. Terry.
