BOOK NOTICES. 



Agriculture — By C. C. James, 200 pp. Toronto, 1898. — 

 It has been the lot of few authors to accomplisli so satisfactorily 

 what in their preface they state to have been their object as 

 Prof. James has in preparing the 200 hundred page Manual of 

 Agriculture which has lately been given to the farmers of 

 Canada. The author has had special opportunities which he has 

 made the most of, of learning not only what was needed by the 

 intelligent farmers of the Dominion, but what was the best way 

 of presenting this information to them. Both as Professor of 

 Chemistry at the Ontario Agricultural College and as Deputy 

 Minister of Agriculture, Prof. James has been brought into close 

 contact with the leading and rising farmers of Ontario. The new 

 Manual will fill a decided want, which is none the less from the 

 fact that this want may not have been noticed by some until 

 their attention was drawn to it by seeing how well it ha'^ been 

 filled.
