PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 

 The 44th Report of the West Chica- 

 go Park Commissioners has been re- 

 ceived from the secretary, George A. 

 Mugler. It comprises the doings for 

 1912, auditor's report, etc., and 72 

 splendid full-page views in Douglas, 

 Garfield, Humboldt, Holstein, Union, 

 Wicker and a number of smaller parks, 

 and on boulevards. Printed on heavy 

 tinted paper this book is a very at- 

 tractive and interesting publication. 

 The area under the charge of this 

 commission includes SOS acres in parks, 

 453 acres in boulevards. The length of 

 boulevards is 29 V2 miles. 



The Year Book of the Department of 

 Agriculture for 1912 is a bound volume 

 of 7S4 pages, well-filled with valuable 

 information on every phase of the de- 

 partment's sphere of activity. There 

 are seventy full-page plates, several 

 in colors, besides smaller figures il- 

 lustrative of the text. The frontis- 

 piece Is a portrait of the late Norman 

 J. Coleman of Missouri, the first Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture. Only by perus- 

 ing the pages of this annual volume 

 can one begin to realize the enormous 

 amount of research investigation and 

 useful experimenting which this great 

 national institution is prosecuting. 

 And its scope is constantly widening.
