TEXT-BOOK ON FORAGE CROPS 
By Proressor C. V. PIPER 
Of the United States Department of Agriculture 
Cloth, rz2mo 
A clear and-concise account of the present knowledge of forage cropping in 
North America, intended primarily as a text-book for the use of agricultural 
college students. The author presents the subject in such a way as to make the 
student realize the shortcomings of the present knowledge on the subject, as 
well as the progress which has been definitely accomplished. All the plants 
and crops which are used for forage and for hay are described, and their botan- 
ical characteristics and means of cultivation are carefully discussed. The 
grasses, alfalfa, the clovers, the millets, and the various fodder crops are all 
treated. 
SMALL GRAINS 
By M. A. CARLETON 
Cerealist of the United States Department of Agriculture 
Cloth, 12mo. Preparing 
The cereal grains and buckwheat are described carefully. Their methods 
of cultivation and of handling and marketing are thoroughly discussed. Among 
the grains thus treated are wheat, oats, rye, barley, and the minor crops. This 
book will prove an admirable complement to Montgomery’s “‘ The Corn 
Crops.” Both these books are intended primarily for use as texts in college 
courses, and may very well be used in conjunction in the general course on 
grain crops. These books also are of distinct interest and value to the farmer.
