out of town, you know.”— Texas Siftings.

Having a piece of land of about fifteen acres that had had no manure for from ten to fifteen years, and which I 
wished to plant with ensilage corn, I asked your agent to send me the best goods he could for that purpose. 
He shipped me Hradley’s Complete Manure for Corn and Grain, which I used at the rate of 800 pounds to the acre on 
the entire fifteen acres without other dressing, and as a result have harvested an exceedingly satisfactory crop. Had 
I used instead ten cords of barn manure to the acre, I wouldn’t have expected better results.

FRUIT CULTURE, 
and the Laying Out and Manage¬ 
ment of a Country Home.—By W. 
C. Strong, Ex-President of the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Horticultural Society, and 
Vice-President of the American Po- 
mological Society. Illustrated. New 
revised edition, with many additions, 
making it the latest and freshest book 
on the subject. 
“ Mr. Strong gives evidence of that thorough grasp 
of the subject which he has gained from 30 years’ 
experience as an orchardist. His book is a simple, 
clear well-condensed manual of practical informa¬ 
tion on the fundamental principles involved in the 
successful cultivation of each species of fruit.”— 
Boston A dvertiser. 
“ In no branch of intelligence has there been so 
much advance as In horticulture. Every year solves 
new problems insoluble before, and with new ideas 
new books follow. It Is In just this line (In the 
endeavor to elucidate fundamental principles) that 
Mr. Strong believes he finds an unoccupied field, 
and this book is the result.”— Thomas Mkehan, In 
Gardener's Monthly. 
“The author has shown excellent judgment in 
giving the particular Information which small fruit 
raisers wish to know .”—Boston Transcript. 
“ Tne directions are specific enough to be under¬ 
stood by beginners and wise enougn to be of profit 
to experienced fruit growers .”—Home and Farm
