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 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 The Natural History of the Farm: A Guide to the Practical Study of the Sources of Our Living in Wild Nature This is a book on the sources of agriculture. Some there may be who, deeply immersed in the technicalities of modern agricultural theory and practice, have forgotten what the sources are; but they are very plain. Food and shelter and clothing are obtained now, in the main, as in the days of the patriarchs. Few materials of livelihood have been either added or eliminated. The same great groups of animals furnish us flesh and milk and wool; the same plant groups furnish us cereals, fruits and roots, cordage and fibres and staves. The beasts browsed and bred and played, the plants sprang up and flowered and fruited, then as now. We have destroyed many to make room for a chosen few. We have selected the best of these, and by tillage and care of them we have enlarged their product and greatly increased our sustenance, but we have not changed the nature or the sources of it. To see, as well as we may, what these things were like as they came to us from the hand of nature is the chief object of this course.
