Excerpt from Gardening and Farming This little group of boys had formed itself natu rally into a club. It met with The Chief every Saturday night. He was really no chief, this big, boy-loving man who had come to spend a while in this little country village, to rest and to write. The boys had named him The Chief because, as Albert said, He could lead any tribe and tame any savage. At this Albert always laughed for he himself had been called a savage. So many times he almost believed he was one. The boys dropped into their places. Jay, or the Little Chief as the boys called him, sat opposite the Big Chief at the end of the table and right in front of the fire. He was slim and tall and light of foot. He could run faster, throw farther, and play better than any other boy in the village. He always led, he never bullied, he played fair, so the other boys always followed. Albert, Jay's brother, big and heavy and as full of mischief as he could hold, took his place at The Chief's right hand. Albert called this his place of honour although knowing full well that he was there so The Chief might have him within reach. Next to Albert came George, frank-faced and bash ful, sturdy and loyal. Opposite him red-headed, stubby Peter sat always on the edge of his chair. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Garden Farming The writer appreciates the fact that this cannot be other than a very imperfect and inadequate attempt to cover so important and so great a field. He wishes to express his appreciation of the coop cration which has been afforded by his colleagues and begs that all who may recognize any of their handiwork in the following pages will be willing to consider the further dissemination of their ideas a public benefaction, although the author may have failed to give due credit where credit belongs. It has been the intent and purpose, however, to acknowledge all quotations and adaptations in the preparation of these pages. It has been the aim to bring together information which will be useful alike to the student and to the practical grower and to present it in a system atic yet readable form. The author wishes to acknowledge helpful suggestions from Dr. W. W. Tracy, Sr., Mr. W. R. Beattie, Professor William Stuart, Mr. W. A. Orton, Dr. F. H. Chittenden, and others, as well as extracts from their writings; and to make acknowledg ments to the Moninger Greenhouse Construction Company for figures 22 and 2 3 and to the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, and the United States Department of Agriculture for other illustrations.

Excerpt from The Prairie Farmer's Vegetable Garden Speaking broadly, the farm should supply the farm table. Shall this supply be limited to the essentials for a bare existence or shall it reach the standard Of what we call good living? The answer depends upon the part played therein by the farm garden. What returns may we expect from such a garden? The greatest is one hard to measure in dollars and cents, namely, the furnishing Of an attractive and healthful variety in the daily fare. Next, we save the money otherwise spent for a limited, irregular and inferior purchased supply Of garden products. Our present knowledge of home canning, curing and storing makes the products Of our farm garden available at all seasons. Thirdly, many prairie farms are so situated as to command a ready and profitable sale for surplus garden crops. The soil and climate Of Western Canada are particularly well suited to many kinds Of vegetables, which reach an unsurpassed excellence. The labour involved in keeping a good farm garden is not great, is not heavy, does not demand special equipment and can mostly be done in spare time. The garden on the farm is, therefore, possible, profitable and interesting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
