Animal Husbandry for Schools 



BY MERRITT W. HARPER 



Rural Textbook Series. Cloth, i2mo, illustrated, 409 pp., $1.40 



With the increasing study of agricultural subjects in the schools 

 has come a demand for a book on Animal Husbandry suitable for 

 use by students of high school age. It is to meet such a need that 

 this book has been written, and in content, style, and arrangement 

 it is admirably adapted to the purpose. It belongs to the Rural 

 Textbook Series prepared under the editorial supervision of Profes- 

 sor L. H. Bailey of Cornell University. 



In the five parts into which the book is divided the author treats 

 horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry, and each is discussed with 

 reference to breeds, judging the animal, feeding, and care and man- 

 agement. There is also a chapter on the general principles of feed- 

 ing. Practical questions and numerous laboratory exercises sup- 

 plement the text and compel the student to think through each 

 subject as he proceeds. The book is extensively illustrated. 

 Designed for use as a textbook, it is also well suited for use as a 

 reference book in schools in which time limitations make it impossi- 

 ble to use it as a text.
