FEEDING ANIMALS, 
By Prof. E W. Stewart, is acknowl¬ 
edged to be the most authentic work on 
the science of feeding live stock that 
has ever been written. Thousands of 
farmers feed their stock at a loss be¬ 
cause, by not understanding the compo¬ 
sitions of different stock foods, they feed 
too much of protein or fat. “Feeding 
Animals” will tell such farmers just 
what they need to know. The retail 
price of the book is $2. We sell it at 
that price, or will send it with a year’s 
subscription to The R N.-Y. for $2 75. 
OUR FARMING, 
BY T. B. TERRY. 
On another page we give our opinion 
of this book. It is one that every Amer¬ 
ican farmer can read with profit. Price, 
$2, or $ 2.75 with a year’s subscription to 
The R. N.-Y. 
THE PRINCE OF INDIA. 
This remarkable volume by Gen. Lew 
Wallace, author of Ben Ilur, is having a 
wonderful sale. Edition after edition is 
eagerly taken by those who have re¬ 
ceived help and inspiration from “ Ben 
ITur.” General Wallace enjoys the 
unique distinction of having written two 
great books in succession, for “The Prince 
of India” is in every way as powerful as 
“ Ben Ilur.” It is in two volumes— 
price $2 50 ; hut by special arrangements 
with the publishers we are able to offer 
it with The R. N -Y. one year for $3.
