128 The Journal of Forestry. 



Of course the precise system adopted by Mr. Jemmett in these books is 

 not expected to suit all cases, but there are few estates or farms on 

 which some slight modification of them will not be found perfectly suit- 

 able and of the greatest service to proprietors, agents, and farmers, 

 enabling them, with the least amount of trouble, to see how their balance- 

 sheet stands for each year, and, if necessary, to trace with ease and accuracy 

 every item of income and expenditure. 



Among the numerous newspapers and magazines representing almost 

 every department of agriculture and rural economy that we have received 

 from various parts of the world, we may mention — the Lancaster 

 (U.S.) Farmer, an excellent farmer's paper; the Alhany {U.S.) Cultiva- 

 tor and Country Gentleman, covering somewhat the same ground as 

 our Field, and full of useful intelligence ; Ber Gartenfreundi^ the name of an 

 Austrian botanical and horticultural magazine, published at Vienna, and 

 which appears to be ably conducted ; La Heme des Faux et Forefs is 

 probably known already to some of our readers as having for many years 

 been the faithful representative of forestal affairs in France : the present 

 number contains interesting articles on the administration of forests in 

 Austria, and on cubic measurement, and the usual complement of forest 

 news j Ee vista de Ilontcs is the organ of the Spanish forest service, pub- 

 lished at Madrid, and contains much useful information. We thank the editors 

 of these and many other periodicals for their kindly notices of our first 

 number, and in exchange for our own shall hope to get their papers regularly, 

 so that we may give translations to our readers of any articles which would be 

 interesting and instructive to them.
