 Diseases of Animals. 



Although the volume contains a large number of illustrations, 

 the author has selected only those which apply to the text and 

 render it more clear. 



The book is welcomed as a new and valuable contribution to 

 the forester's library. 



The views of stockmen in regard to this book are well re- 

 flected in a review which appeared recently in the Southwestern 

 Stock Review : 



"Probably one of the best informed men in the United States 

 on the subject of stock grazing in the west is Will C. Barnes, 

 the author of "Western Grazing Grounds," who *way back in 

 the '8o's was associated with Albert F. Potter in range ventures 

 in both sheep and cattle up on the Mogollon mesa and Little Col- 

 orado sections of North Arizona. Mr. Potter is now associate 

 forester and in charge of the grazing branch of the forest ser- 

 vice, while Mr. Barnes is inspector of grazing in the same 

 service. 



"Mr. Barnes was raised on a cow ranch in California; ranged 

 through that state, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas in the early 

 days ; has been secretary of the Live Stock Boards of both 

 Arizona and New Mexico ; has made special studies of range 

 live stock problems throughout all of the western states in the 

 interests of the Forest Service and the recent tariff board of 

 the Taft administration, and is essentially the man to father 

 such a book as Western Grazing Grounds. 



"This book deals with the vast ranges of the west in detail 

 from the time that stock began to appear on them down to the 

 present day. It shows the various methods of handling stock as 

 practiced in the different sections of the west; discusses the 

 problems of range control ; by text and illustrations treats of 

 the poisonous plants, predatory animals and stock diseases of 

 the range, giving preventatives, remedies and other valuable in- 

 formation concerning them ; gives figures on costs of running 

 stock in the Avestern states, and in fact is filled with just the 

 kind of information that every sheep and cattle man wants. 

 Western Grazing Grounds is also an excellent text book for 

 the man new to the west and makes excellent reading for any- 

 one at all interested in the subject." R. C. B.
