 most importance to the farmer; that is, to answer the 

 farmer's questions, and to put these answers in the form of 

 underlying principles rather than as rules. It aims to give 

 the basic principles of the subject without being superficial. 

 It aims to teach underlying principles so that a farmer will 

 know how to change his practice to meet everchanging 

 conditions.

 of the Dairy Industry; Breeds of Cattle; Selection and 

 Improvement of Dairy Cattle; Management of Dairy 

 Cattle ; Feeding Dairy Cattle ; The Dairy Barn ; Common 

 Ailments of Cattle; Milk and Its Products; Conditions

 ing on Dairy Farms ; Methods of Renting Dairy Farms ;

Harper's Animal Husbandry 



409 pages, $1.40 



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

 treats of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry, and each 

 is discussed with reference to breeds, judging the animal, 

 feeding, and care and management. There is also a chapter 

 on the general principles of feeding. Practical questions 

 and numerous laboratory exercises supplement the text 

 and compel the student to think through each subject as 

 he proceeds. The book is extensively illustrated. De- 

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

 a reference book in schools in which time limitations make 

 it impossible to use it as a text.
