Farm Libraries.
Travelling Collections of Books for In
diana Farmers.

Travelling Collections of Books for IN
diana Farmers.
They have a travelling library sys
tenn in Indiana for the benefit of
farmers. The organization which Is
in charge of this work is the Indiana
Library Commission. Each library
consists Of forty books, which may
be had by any library association in
any village which Is willing to pay
express charges.
The Librarians found. somewhat to
their surprise, that when they put IN
books on farming, or hints on MAX
Ing farm life attractive, they gener-
ally came back unread. while good
fiction and biography were worn out
with much handling. But there As
really nothing strange in this, as most
people who have been brought up on
farms will admit. The trouble with
such books on farming as were Sc
lccted by the commission probably
vas that they were either common
place or impractical. The farmer
does not want to read theoretical
books. written by men who do not
know his business; and even when
they do know something about farm
ing in ENGLAND or the East, it by no
means follows mat they can tell him
how to run an Indiana farm. The

The kind Of E.erature which the
farmers of this country do keenly
crave Is what may be called practical
literature-fc fiction OF the best class,
biographies of men who have done
things, descriptive books dealing with
other countries in an interesting way.
L will be found, as a rule, that the
best books are most acceptable IN ru-
raj districts. The farmer Is no fool

This method of advertising by the

of householders rights. The mere fact
that a stranger has something that he
