SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1915. $1 a Year; 5c. a Copy SAVE THIS REFERENCE NUMBER OUR Reference Special a year ago was received with such wide favor that we have attempted another, and here it is. When we began work on it we scarcely expected to make it superior to the issue of last year; but now, looking it oyer finished, we do not hesitate to say, that it is both; bigger and better, and that we confidently expect it to meet with a no less cordial reception. In compiling this encyclopedia of agricultural information we have tried to hold in mind the fact that our main business is to be of service to our readers. We maintain a free service department, and are always. glad to have our readers write us for information; but this takes time, and . it very frequently is the case that the information is wanted at once. Largely to supply this need to have at your hand at all times a dependable store of facts and figures that will help you in your work this Reference Special has been prepared. Below will be found a complete index of all matter contained, with an alphabetical classification of all facts and figures. This index will tell you at a glance where to find what you want to know. And dont forget to be sure to save this issue.
