TO HELP YOU SAVE YOUR WOUNDED TREES 
Practical Tree Repair 
By ELBERT PEETS 
How to diagnose and treat tree diseases 
successfully is told concisely in this book 
by an expert in arboreal surgery. The di¬ 
rections are for not only curative but pre¬ 
ventive doctoring, telling, as they do, the 
necessary occasional care to keep the trees in a healthy condition. 
Mr. Peets shows how to treat wounds, till cavities, get rid of boring 
insects, and brace limbs that require support. His directions are 
clear and practical, and no one who has trees on his grounds ought 
to be without the book. Illustrated with line-drawings and half¬ 
tone reproductions from photographs. i2mo.

Modern Farm Buildings 
By ALFRED HOPKINS, A. A. I. A., Architect 
The only authoritative book of the subject — over 60 illustrations — 
giving plans of Farm Buildings for accommodations for two cows 
up to 200; also plans showing various arrangements of the horse 
stable, cow stable, garage, chicken house, sheep cote, piggery, root 
cellar, manure pit, corncrib, etc. All the dependencies of the large 
or the small country estate are given in detail. Although the work 
is eminently practical, yet the author points out in no uncertain way 
the delightful architectural possibilities of the farm buildings, and 
emphasizes his views with many photographs of buildings erected by 
him.
