No. 5 of Rider’s Technical Series. 
This book is intended as a Guide to the Farmer in his treatment of the various 
forms of animal life that are met with in the rural districts of Great Britain. The 
failure of agriculturists to discriminate in these matters between friend and foe has 
led in many cases to grave damage being inflicted on the farm, and serious pecuniary 
loss being incurred. It is thought that a small practical handbook treating on this 
important subject will be of assistance to the farmer in enabling him to obviate the 
mistakes that have been cominitted in the past, and in teaching him how to exercise 
a wise discretion in determining which are likely to be helpful and which hurtful 
among his various field neighbours,
