T

HIS is a new, practical and complete presentation of the whole subject of agriculture in its broadest sense. It is designed for the use of agriculturists who desire up-to-date, reliable information on all matters pertaining to crops and stock, but more particularly for the actual farmer. The volume contains

Detailed directions for the culture of every

important field, orchard, and garden crop

grown in America, together with descriptions of
their chief insect pests and fungous diseases, and
remedies for their control. It contains an account
of modern methods in feeding and handling all
farm stock, including poultry. The diseases which
affect different farm animals and poultry are de-
scribed, and the most recent remedies suggested for
controlling them.

Every bit of this vast mass of new and useful
information is authoritative, practical, and easily
found, and no effort has been spared to include all
desirable details. There are between 6,000 and 7,000
topics covered in these references, and it contains
700 royal 8vo pages and nearly 500 superb half-
tone and other original illustrations, making the
most perfect Cyclopedia of Agriculture ever at-
tempted.
