^HOW THE FARM PAYS 



By PETER HENDERSON and WM. CROZIER. 400 Pages. Profusely Illustrated. Price, postpaid, $2.00. 



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

 Grain, Koot 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.
