BEST BOOKS ON
FARMING FREE
HOW ANY COMMUNITY IN NORTH
DAKOTA CAN HAVE BENEFIT
OF A FREE LI5RARY-sPLENDID
THING FOR THE FARMERS OF
THE STATE.

Any community In North Dakota car
have a set of the very best books or
farming for the asking and paying the
freight. What finer opportunity has
ever come 90 a community, and espec-
tally rural one?
During the winter especially there
there is time that can be spent to good
advantage in reading and studying
books on agriculture as we'll as on gen.
eral subjects. Who would not like to
know more of the soil that one turns
with the plow, of the plants that we
raise, of the stock that we breed and
feed, Of the trees that we ought to
grow, of the fruit that we can have In
our garden, OF the vegetables that we
ought to grow, of the weeds that pes
ter our crops, of the insects and plant
| diseases that reduce our yields, OF the
diseases that raise havoc with our
selves and our animals, OF the value of
food for man and beast, Of the ma
chinery that is used for farming, of the
houses in which we live, how to make
healthy, pleasant and convenient, of
barns and how to make them serve
their purpose the best and a hundred
other things too numerous to men
| ton?
We are fortunate to have a travel
ing library of farm books in this state
that can be had by requesting them.
And they are the best that have been
written on the subjects, books from the
pens OF men who are authorities in
their line. There is no lawyer who
would hesitate ten minutes in getting
the latest book on his subject and he
would likely have to pay 81 or
IS for it. Why should not the
farmer be just as anxious to get the
latest book on his work? The writer
believes that when the farmers learn
how easy it is to get books, and books
that are written from a practical
standpoint that they will be glad to
avail themselves OF the opportunity.
Mrs. Minnie Clarke BudIong, secre-
tary of the Public Library commission
at Bismarck, reports that the farmers
travelling library has increased to six
sets as given below and that the re-
quests are coming in so fast that it
keeps them busy fitting out new SETS
Do not put off sending for a set of
these books. Begin now to learn more
