THE RURAL OUTLOOK SET
By Professor L. H. BAILEY
Director of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University
Four volumes. Each, cloth, 12mo. Uniform binding, attractively boxed $5.00 net per set; carriage extra. Each volume also sold separately.
In this set are included three of Professor Bailey’s most popular books as well as a hitherto unpublished one,—“The Country-Life Movement.” The long and persistent demand for a uniform edition of these little classics is answered with the publication of this attractive series.
The Country-Life Movement
Cloth, 12mo, 220 pages, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34
This hitherto unpublished volume deals with the present movement for the redirection of rural civilization, discussing the real country-life problem as distinguished from the city problem, known as the back-to-the-land movement.
The Outlook to Nature (New and Revised Edition)
Cloth, 12mo, 195 pages, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34
In this alive and bracing book, full of suggestion and encouragement, Professor Bailey argues the importance of contact with nature, a sympathetic attitude toward which “means greater efficiency, hopefulness, and repose.”
The State and the Farmer (New Edition)
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34
It is the relation of the farmer to the government that Professor Bailey here discusses in its varying aspects. He deals specifically with the change in agricultural methods, in the shifting or the geographical centers of farming in the United States, and in the growth of agricultural institutions.
The Nature Study Idea (New Edition)
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.34
“It would be well,” the critic of The Tribune Farmer once wrote, “if ‘The Nature Study Idea’ were in the hands of every person who favors nature study in the public schools, of every one who is opposed to it, and, most important, of every one who teaches it or thinks he does.” It has been Professor Bailey’s purpose to interpret the new school movement to put the young into relation and sympathy with nature,—a purpose which he has admirably accomplished.
NEW BOOKS ON AGRICULTURE
How to Keep Bees for Profit
By D. E. LYON
Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $1.50 net
Dr. Lyon is an enthusiast on bees. He has devoted many years to the acquisition of knowledge on this subject, and his book is a practical one. In it he takes up the numerous questions that confront the man who keeps bees, and deals with them from the standpoint of long experience.
How to Keep Hens for Profit
By C. S. VALENTINE
Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, $1.50 net
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.
The Feeding of Animals
By WHITMAN HOWARD JORDAN
Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, 450 pages, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.65
“A valuable contribution to agricultural literature. Not a statement of rules or details of practice, but an effort to present the main facts and principles fundamental to the art of feeding animals.”—New England Farmer.
Rural Hygiene
By HENRY N. OGDEN, C.E.
Professor of Sanitary Engineering, College of Civil Engineering, Cornell University, and Special Assistant Engineer of the New York State Department of Health
Illustrated, decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.68
“Farmers and other dwellers outside of cities will find Professor Henry N. Ogden’s ‘Rural Hygiene’ an invaluable treatise on all matters pertaining to the health of the individual and the community. The author, a civil engineer in the faculty of Cornell University, deals with the structural side of public hygiene rather than with the medical side. He tells how houses and barns should be built so as to promote the good health of their occupants; how to manage ventilation, drainage, water supply, etc.; how waterworks should be built, what are the best kinds of power, how to arrange the plumbing, guard against sewage, and so on. . . . It is an unusually complete, practical, and readable treatise.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
Law for the American Farmer
By JOHN D. GREEN, of the New York Bar.
Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.68
“The book is superior to any of its class.”—Law Review.
“Very comprehensive and valuable.”—Kansas Farmer.
“Written with great thoroughness and accuracy.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
