' So much wealth is stored up in our grass-covered acres that no means should be 

 neglected of adding to their productive capacity. . . . The subject is one which, on 

 account of its intrinsic interest, has long commanded the attention of practical men, and 

 of none more successfully than of Mr. Martin J. Sutton, a new edition of whose excellent 

 manual " Permanent and Temporary Pastures " has been published. The author has 

 wisely retained most of the features which had already secured for the work its well- 

 deserved popularity, and notably the two dozen faithful full-page illustrations of grasses 

 and other useful plants of meadows and pastures, with representations of their seeds. 

 The text, however, has been revised throughout and brought up to date, whilst some 

 important statistics are added, and the section on temporary grass lands has been use- 

 fully extended. . . . From an economic standpoint the extended chapter on temporary 

 pastures is second to no other section of the book in practical importance. It is rather 

 in this direction than in the seeding of land down to permanent pasture that relief for 

 the present agricultural tension is likely to be found, if it can be found at all. By the 

 employment of suitably-selected mixtures of grass and clover seeds, land can be tem- 

 porarily put under grass for one, two, three, four, or more years, and eventually broken 

 up and brought again into the rotation. By this system the plough is kept going, whilst 

 more produce is obtained from the land than if under permanent pasture, and more 

 stock can thereby be maintained. Moreover, by a sufficient inclusion of clover in the 

 original seeding, the land, by the accumulations in the clover roots, is left in better 

 condition for the growth of corn. . . . The present edition is admirably printed, and it 

 may be recommended with the greatest confidence to all who are interested in the 

 management and improvement of grass lands.' THE TIMES.
