Report on feeding experiment with palm kernel cake. 1915. J. Hendrick 

 and W. .1. Profeit (North of Scot. Col. Agr. Bui. 20 (1915), pp. 10). — In feeding 

 experiments with three lots of 10 cattle each it was found that, when fetl in 

 the same quantities, palm kernel cake may be expected to give equally as 

 good a return in live weight increase as linseetl cake or decorticated cotton 

 cake, and at present prices in Great Britain it gives a better monetary return 

 than either of these. When fed in a mixture with locust bean meal it is 

 taken readily by stock.

 This book treats of the principal breeils of sheep in New Zealand, their

Pure-bred sheep in New Zealand, .T. Linton (Jour. Agr. [New Zeal.], 11 

 (1915). No. 5, pp. .'i00-.'i02) . — A general account of the number and distribution 

 of the different breeds of sheep in New Zealand. 



Corriedale sheep, F. K. Marshall (-Jour. Hereditg, 7 (1916), No. 2, pp. 8S-95, 

 figs. 5). — An account of the origin and development of this breed of .sheep 

 in New Zealand which, although it is a crossbreed of the Merino and Lincoln 

 or Cotswold breeds, is remarkably true to type with verj' little tendency to 

 reversion. It appears that this tiniforniity of type has resulted from a policy 

 of vigorous selection pursued by New Zealand breeders. However, now that the 

 breed is established such vigorous culling is not necessary. There has been 

 an apparent blending of the opposed characters of the Lincoln and Merino 

 stock, which is now uniformly transmitted. 



It is stated that in the several hundred Corriedales examined none had wool 

 as short as the longest wooled Merinos, as'coarse as the Lincolns, or as tine as 

 the Merino. The horned character still crops out quite frequently.

 Sheep Breeder and Wool Groiccr. 35 (1915), No. 12, pp. 5^6-548. figs. 7).— The
