LIBRARY Commission
IS AIDING farmers
HAS PREPARED FOUR SETS OF
BOOKS WHICH THEY SELL
At COST.
Farming Is Now a Profession land
Agricultural Books If Studied Thor
oushly, Are Great Help.

Farming is beginning to be pro-
fession, in fact, is one, and as such
large fund of information has been
worked out. A good deal of 1t has
been gathered and worked up into
books on various subjects. These are
interesting and give a great deal of
information that is Important; IN
fact, we might say, essential to the
farmer; as farming is something that
must be done in certain way TO
meet with success. A good deal OF
information comes through experience,
but it is a very expensive way and
again there are a great many things
that we can't learn even in that way.
The cost of most agricultural books
varies from 81 to 81, so no one can
really afford to be without them. A
book on agriculture on the subject In
which one is working, costing say a
dollar, if studied thoroughly and its
teachings put into practice, ought to
bring one a return of any way 500
a year or a return of 100000 per cent
per annum, and it might even run to
100 times this amount. There is no
line of investment that will bring, such
enormous returns, and it Is all legiti.
mate; in fact, praiswOrthy.
There is even an easier way to get
books on farm subjects than buying
them, and that is from the public H.
brary commission at Bismarck. They
have so far prepared four sets OF
books on agriculture that can be had
by any community without cost. Any
one who is DESTROYS of having an ag-
ricultural library right at home should
write to the commission. After hav-
ing read the books that come in set
varying from ~ to IA, there will like
ly be some one that will prove of ex-
ceptional value. This one should be
marked. In this way one can very
easily turn to passages that have prov
en- of special interest and that contain
facts that one would likely want to
turn to again. A few good books
should be possessed by everyone. They
represent the best that men have
thought and done, and are guides that
one cannot afford to be without.
