Mr. Valentine is a well-known authority upon the subject. His
knowledge is extensive and accurate; the information that he
gives will be of service, not only to the amateur who keeps
poultry for his own pleasure, but to the man who wishes to
derive from it a considerable portion of his income.
Manual of Gardening
BY L. H. BAILEY
_Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $2.00 net_
This new work is a combination and revision of the main parts
of two other books by the same author, "Garden Making," and
"Practical Garden-Book," together with much new material and
the results of the experience of ten added years.
How to Grow Vegetables
BY ALLEN FRENCH
_New edition._ _Decorated cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $1.75 net; by mail,
$1.80_
"It is what it purports to be, a practical handbook and
planting table for the vegetable garden. Its directions for
growing in our northern climate are detailed and explicit,
and will be of invaluable assistance to those who follow them
intelligently."--_Boston Budget._
"The instructions are terse, yet complete, and cover
everything as to method of preparing the ground, sowing seed,
cultivation, etc. Practicality and clearness of direction are
the dominant notes of Mr. French's book."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
A Self-Supporting Home
BY KATE V. ST. MAUR
_Cloth, 12mo, fully illustrated from photographs, $1.75 net_
"Each chapter is the detailed account of all the work
necessary for one month--in the vegetable garden, among the
small fruits, with the fowls, guineas, rabbits, cavies, and
in every branch of husbandry to be met with on the small
farm."--_Louisville Courier-Journal._
The Earth's Bounty
BY KATE V. ST. MAUR
_Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $1.75 net_
The present volume, though in no sense dependent on "A
Self-Supporting Home," is in a sense a sequel to it. The
feminine owner is still the heroine, and the new book
chronicles the events after success permitted her to acquire
more land and put to practical test the ideas gleaned from
observation and reading.
The Fat of the Land: The Story of an American Farm
BY JOHN WILLIAMS STREETER
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net_
"The Fat of the Land" is the sort of book that ought to be
epoch-making in its character, for it tells what can be
accomplished through the application of business methods to
the farming business. Never was the freshness, the beauty,
the joy, the freedom of country life put in a more engaging
fashion. From cover to cover it is a fascinating book,
practical withal, and full of common sense.
Three Acres and Liberty
BY BOLTON HALL
_Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $1.75 net_
Possibilities of the small suburban farm, and practical
suggestions to city dwellers how to acquire and make
profitable use of them.
