| the subject from the ‘highbrow’ 
| works and presenting the essentials 
| in a clear, concise, simple, and 
| complete working form. Your 
1 book accomplishes the very valu- 
| able educational service of bring- 
§ ing the subject to the average 
| man, and fills a distinct place in 
| gunnery literature.”

This is the record of the experience 
of a woman who took a small farm 
near a large city and found a way to 
make it pay. Its aim is practical. 
Advice as to the selection of a farm 
is followed by full directions for 
poultry raising—the best foundation 
for a city woman’s hopes of rural 
prosperity. The matters of care, 
breeding, feeding, etc., are consid¬ 
ered. In a like manner pigeons, 
squabs, canaries, bees, and pigs come 
in for attention. Other chapters are 
concerned with the vegetable garden 
and the flower garden—what to raise 
and how to plant and cultivate.
