Publisher's Synopsis

Acknowledgment is due to Prof. Lewis W. Col well, principal of the Linné Grammar School, Chi cago, Illinois, for his suggestions in the first reading of the manuscript; to Prof. Alden S. Rinker, for the use of three photographs; and to Mr. C. W. Mogg, for the use of three photographs. Much help has also been derived from the farmers in and around Linn, Illinois, with whom we spend two or three months each summer. They have been untiring in their efforts to explain and demonstrate prae tical farm work. Especial gratitude is due 'to Mr. William F. Corrie, a boy companion in farm life and work, and who still is ever ready to explain how wealth can be secured from wornout land, and how a successful, happy life can be found on a farm.
