aTHE LAW OF THE FARM"

We have for many years been an observer
OF the large amount of veIstious and |
expensive litigation among farmers. arising |
mainly from want OF an adequate and |
proper knowledge of their respective rights, |
liabilities and duties toward each other and
the public. A work especially designed by
the author to lessen this evil and be OF
general interest and service to farmers
entitled The Law OF the Farm" has just
been prepared by James b. McCrellis, Ed,
OF the Indiana bar.
Very much desiring to place the Weekly
Sentinel in the largest number OF homes
possible, TO that end, as an extra induce
ment, we have arranged for the entire edi
ton OF this work. THE Law OF the Farm"
we are sure will alone be worth more TO any
farmer than the cost of both this admirable
law treatise and the best weekly paper pub
lished In the State. We will waste no space
here in commencing 1t, but respectfully
refer to the opinions OF Others, come at least oil
whom will be recognized, and who are known
to be good judges, and are worthy OF your
confidence. Feeling assured that there can
not be offered so great practical value for
the money we submit our proposal with the
utmost confidence, and ask that our friends
| confer upon us, themselves, and their neigh
oors, each substantial good by soliciting
| and securing for the Weekly Sentinel AND
The Law OF the Farm" the largest possible
| list of subscribers.
| Enlarged. edited and conducted as the
Sentinel now is, together with the valuable
Inducements herewith presented. we ough
| to begin the year with a very large number
of new acquaintances.
The Law OF the Farm" is divided into con
venient chapters, embracing the following
general subjects or features:
/. How 10 buy farm.
2. How far the farm extends, OF its prop
/ er boundaries

9 OF water rights and drainage.
10. OF trespassing on the farm.

Satisfied of the merits of tins work, and oil
the benefits which would accrue to the agri
cultural classes by its being sent into a
MANY farm houses and homes as possible, al
before observed, we have obtained il ron
