The New American 
Farm Book. 
By E. L. and L. F. Allen.

This most charming book 
should be in every farm home 
in the land. It is written in 
a most captivating style by a 
writer thoroughly familiar 
with the subjects treated. 
Every page abounds in valu¬ 
able hints and suggestions, 
communicated in an enter¬ 
taining, narrative form. 
Treating with the utmost 
clearness and conciseness, 
and in the most popular 
manner possible, of the rela¬ 
tions of Chemistry to Agri¬ 
culture, and providing a wel¬ 
come manual for those who, 
while not having time to 
systematically study Chem¬ 
istry, will gladly have such 
an idea as this gives them of 
its relation to operations on 
the farm. 
A Plain and Comprehen¬ 
sive Guide to the various 
Points to be noted, showing 
which are essential and 
which are unimportant. 
A Complete Guide for 
Eiding and Training. A 
Guide-Book for all who de¬ 
sire to acquire the accom¬ 
plishment of horsemanship, 
and who wish to teach their 
animals how to perform 
various feats under the sad¬ 
dle. Handsomely Illustrated. 
The Preservation of Fod¬ 
der Corn and other Green 
Fodder Crops. Bringing to¬ 
gether the most recent in¬ 
formation, from various 
sources. Fully Illustrated. 
Dr. Thurber's eminent repu¬ 
tation as a horticulturist and 
agriculturist must secure a 
wide sale for this volume 
among farmers, who are now 
so actively interested in the 
construction of silos. 
This is the best American 
work upon general farm 
management. It treats of 
the leading crops, build¬ 
ings, draining, etc., and in¬ 
cludes sufficient about ani¬ 
mals of different kinds to 
meet the wants of most 
farmers. 
Farm Implements 
and Machinery. 
By John J. Thomas. 
Price $1.50. 
Quinby’s New Bee- 
Keeping. 
By L. C. Eoot. Price $1.50. 
Practical Poultry- 
Keeper. 
By L. Weight. Price $2.00. 
Swine Husbandry. 
By F. D. Coburn. 
Price $1.75. 
The Pig. 
By Joseph Harris. 
Price $1.50. 
Draining for Profit. 
By Geo. E. Waring, Jr. 
Price $150. 
Most farming operations 
are accomplished by force 
applied through Imple¬ 
ments and machines, and a 
farmer should understand 
mechanics, at least' suffi¬ 
ciently to apply force most 
economically. In this work 
the fundamental principles 
are clearly taught, and their 
application illustrated. 
Bees, Poultry, and Pigs 
are often made subjects of 
especial care by small far¬ 
mers, and separate treatises 
on these are more likely to 
be asked for in a library 
like this than those upon 
the larger animals. Each 
of these is one of the best 
in its line. 
So in farm operations, that 
of Draining is not likely to 
be treated sufficiently in de¬ 
tail in general works. 
The Garden. 
The Small Fruit 
Culturist. 
By Andrew S. Fulleb. 
Price $1.50. 
Peach Culture. 
By Hon. J. Alexander 
Fulton.

sure.

Play and Profit in 
My Garden. 
By E. P. Boe. 
Price $1.50. 
Eewritten, enlarged, and 
brought fully up to the pres¬ 
ent time. It is equally adapt¬ 
ed to the needs and require¬ 
ments of the private culti¬ 
vator and the market grower. 
This book covers the whole 
ground of Propagating Small 
Fruits, their Culture, Varie¬ 
ties, Packing for Market, etc. 
This is the only practical 
Guide to Peach Culture on 
the Delaware Peninsula, and 
is the best worA upon the 
subject of Peach Growing 
for those who would be suc¬ 
cessful in that culture in any 
part of the country. It has 
been thoroughly revised, and 
a large portion of it re¬ 
written ; the author bringing 
it down to date. 
Farms near cities often 
make more from garden 
crops than from farm crops. 
This is the best work on 
market gardening, and will 
serve for the family garden 
also. 
The work is characterized 
by the same common sense 
that marks the author’s “Gar¬ 
dening for Profit,” and it 
holds a high place in the 
estimation of lovers of flori¬ 
culture. It has been thor¬ 
oughly revised by the author. 
After the farm crops, fruit 
is of the most importance. 
No work covers the whole 
subject more completely 
than this. 
This work was prepared to 
meet the wants of the ama¬ 
teur in in-door and out door 
gardening, and is one of the 
best guides to Window Gar¬ 
dening. 
The author takes us to his 
garden on the rocky hill 
sides in the vicinity of West 
Point, and shows us how, out 
of it, after four years’ expe¬ 
rience, he evoked a profit of 
$1,000, and this while carry¬ 
ing on pastoral and literary 
labors.
