 requiring about 100 roots, should give 

 a sufficient supply for an ordinary fam-

 good, loamy soil, plow deep, put in good 

 quantity of manure and 100 pounds of 

 kainit to lOOO square feet of bed. In- 

 corporate tlioroughly, make a trench S 

 inches deep, set plants 9 inches apart. 

 In field culture rows are placed 4 feet 

 apart.

 Color Plates and Illustrations. 



A marked feature of this work is the exclusive char- 

 acter of its many superb illustrations. 



This is a new book treating of the whole subject of 

 animal husbandry. It gives in one volume a clear, con- 

 cise, accurate account of the world's knowledge to date 

 of every phase of Live Stock farming. Animal Industry 

 in America is an enormous business. The subject has 

 heretofore never been adequately and concisely treated 

 in a single volume. Some vital phases of it have always 

 1 een neglected. This volume treats Animal Industry as 

 a rounded whole, and from many standpoints never 

 previously touched upon. This has been made necessary 

 by our advancing knowledge of the subject along all 

 lines, by the recent enactment of national laws regulat- 

 the control of certain contagious animal diseases of
