FARMERS BULLETINS.

While the demand for Farmers Bull
letins has been increasing more rapid
ly than the supply, the Department of
Agriculture constantly reprints new
editions of the numbers most wanted.
Every public library should, of
course, contain a complete set of the |
bulletins, as we'll as a set of the year
books of the department of Agricul- |
ture These sets, as we'll as indexes
to the contents of both the bulletins
and year books, may be obtained from
Washington, absolutely without ex-
pense, and with their aid any library
no matter how small or poor, can
provide very complete and practical
information upon wide range Of ag-
rcultural and allied subjects.
| Every alert American farmer is
| familiar with the bulletins. and
doubtless many farmers receive copies
as they are issued, for more than sew
en- million issues were distributed dull
ing the last fiscal year. There are
many farmers wives and housekeep.
ers, however, who may be interested
to know how many helpful pamphlets
may be obtained by merely sending a
