AN acknowledged authority for Farmers. Gives all the Latest Methods of Growing Grass, 

 Grain, Root Crops, Fruits, etc. ; and all about Stock, Farm Machinery, etc., etc. It is 

 written in a plain and easy-to-be-understood language. Everything pertaining to scien- 

 tific or abstruse subjects has been ignored, the information given being the most direct to make 

 the work of the farm pay. This is perhaps the first book of the kind ever written by two men 

 while actually engaged in the work which, to both, has been such a continued success — hence, 

 their advice is practical and doubly valuable.
