Only  Up-to-date  Agriculture  will  PAY ! 
“ Only  up-to-date  agriculture  will  succeed  and  PAY  in  these  days,”  says  the  Rev.  R.  M'Clelland, 
the  eminent  Scottish  Agriculturist;  only  modern  methods —and  therefore  PAYING  methods— of 
farming  are  explained  in 
THE  STANDARD 
CYCLOPEDIA  OF 
AGRICULTURE. 
Edited  by 
Prof.  R.  PATRICK 
WRIGHT,  F.H.A.S 
The  work  is  an  all  embracing  agricultural  guide,  treating  of  some  5,000  distinct  subjects,  each 
and  all  of  paramount  importance  to  farmers.  Obviously  we  cannot  name  the  5,000  here,  hut  the 
following  are  some  of  the  most  important:— Tillage  and  Farming,  Live  Stock,  Dairying,  Forestry, 
Market  Gardening, Horticulture,  Agricultural  Implements  and  Machine-^,  Poultry  and  Bee-keeping, 
Veterinary  Science  and  Practice,  Agricultural  Entomology  and  Bacteriology,  Agricultural 
Chemistry,  Manures  and  Feeding  Stuffs,  Agricultural  Law  and  Book-keeping,  Foreign  and 
Colonial  Agriculture,  Agricultural  Biography,  Dogs,  Game,  Sport. 
THE  STANDARD  CYCLOPEDIA  is  far  and  away  the  LARGEST  of  agricultural  works  of 
reference— the  capital  invested  in  it  would  be  sufficient  to  stock  and  run  many  farms.  More  than 
three  million  and  a quarter  words  go  to  make  the  complete  work. 
No  more  TRUSTWORTHY  work  has  ever  been  published  for  farmers.  The  200  Contributors 
are  each  and  all  front-rank  men,  experts  in  their  several  departments. 
A newspaper  is  EASY  TO  READ,  but  farmers  will  find  THE  STANDARD  CYCLOPEDIA 
even  more  so.  AH  information  is  conveyed  in  the  plainest  terms ; all  the  contributors  use 
untechnical  language. 
The  volumes  are  FULLY  ILLUSTRATED,  combining  a pictorial  record  of  the  achieve- 
ments of  fsrmers  in  every  clime,  with  instructive  drawings,  showing,  for  instance,  new  farming 
processes,  labour-saving  devices.  Both  coloured  and  black-and-white  plates,  besides  original 
drawings,  are  employed  to  co-operate  with  the  text  in  elucidating  farming  problems.  There  are 
enough  of  these  illustrations  to  paper  a room  I 
It  wiU  he  seen  that  the  work  is  the  CHEAPEST  INVESTMENT  OPEN  TO  A 
FARMER  when  we  point  out  that  whilst  it  explains  and  illustrates  the  use  of  every  farming 
tool,  it  does  not  cost  so  much  as  a good  plough  I Every  subscriber  will  have  the  privilege  of  Prof. 
Wright’s  personal  advice  during  the  course  of  publication.  Would  the  fee  charged  by  an  expert 
of  Prof.  Wright’s  standing  he  covered  by  a £5  note?  Subscribers  to  THE  STANDARD  CYCLO- 
PEDIA get  this  advice  plus  the  12  volumes,  plus  4 Sectional  Models  of  Cow,  Horse,  Sheep,  and  Pig, 
for  less  than  £5,  and,  what  is  more  important,  it  is  not  necessary  to  pay  more  than  a few  shillings 
down.
