PUBLICATION RECEIVED. 



Agriculture for Schools of the Pacific 

 Slope, by E. W. Hilgard, Professor of 

 Agriculture, University of California, 

 and W. J. V. Osterhout, Assistant Pro- 

 fessor of Botany, Harvard University. 

 Published by The MacMillan Co., New 

 York. — It is generally admitted that at 

 the present time no more worthy and 

 useful study can be given a place in 

 our schools than that which imparts a 

 knowledge of soil tillage and plant 

 growth. We are convincingly im- 

 pressed with the value of the book be- 

 fore us as we turn over its pages and 

 note how comprehensive is the field it 

 takes in, how concisely and plainly the 

 fundamental facts in such a wide range 

 of subjects are stated and how inter- 

 estingly both illustrations and text 

 matter are presented to the eye and 

 understanding of the pupil. The topics 

 of the needs of plants, how these needs 

 must be supplied, how plants are im- 

 proved, methods of crop increase, fer- 

 tilizers, foes of the plant, diseases, gar- 

 den vegetables, fruit and flowers, farm 

 animals, are all covered in detail in 

 the 28 chapters which are splendidly 

 illustrated by over two hundred draw- 

 ings, hall-lune views and wood cuts. 

 The publisher's price is $1.20 net. Cop- 

 ies of the book can be supplied from 

 this oflBce. 



A contract for reconstructing por- 

 tions of the Garfield Park conserva- 

 tory, at a cost of $56,122, was let to

 to the glass roof, out of which 110
