required most of the water, it did not have a fair chance. Still, these old 

 plots have produced a good many tons of hay. They are now being used 

 for grazing purposes, and will be nntil such time as we can see our way to

The R.A.S. Annual, 1907. 



There has lately been published by the Royal Agricultural Society of New 

 South Wales the second Annual, compiled and edited under the authority of 

 the Council by Mr. H. M. Somer, Secretary to the Society. 



The 1907 Annual, which is considerably larg*^r than the first one issued in 



1906, should find a place on the bookshelf of every progressive farmer. The 

 book is presented free to members, but to others it is for sale at the very 

 moderate price of 2s. 6d. The Annual contains many excellent articles by 

 prominent authorities, embracing Agriculture, Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, 

 Horses, Pigs, Poultry, The Royal Agricultural Society — Historical Sketch, 

 Financial Position, List of Members, Judges, etc. — Sheep (British Breeds), 

 Wine Judging, The State in Relation to Agriculture, The Prize List for 



1907, and other useful information not readily obtainable elsewhere. 



The Annual is very interesting, is full of information, and well illustrated.
