Animal Breeding, 



By Thomas Shaw, This book is the most complete and 

 comprehensive work ever published on the subject of whicli 

 it treats. It is the first book which has systematized the subject 

 of animal breeding. The leading laws which govern this 

 most intricate question the author has boldly defined and 

 authoritatively arranged. The chapters which he has written 

 on the more involved features of the subject, as sex and the 

 relative influence of parents, should go far toward setting at 

 rest the wildly speculative views cherished with reference to 

 these questions. The striking originality in the treatment of 

 the subject is no less conspicuous than the superb order and 

 regular sequence of thought from the beginning to the end 

 of the book. The book is intended to meet the needs of all 

 persons interested in the breeding and rearing of live stock.

Stewart's Shepherd's Manual. 



By Henry Stewart. A valuable practical treatise on the 

 sheep for American farmers and sheep growers. It Is so 

 plain that a farmer or a farmer's son who has never kept 

 a sheep may learn from its pages how to manage a flock 

 successfully, and yet so complete that even the experienced 

 shepherd may gather many suggestions from it. The results 

 of personal experience of some years, with the characters of the 

 various modern breeds of sheep, and the sheep raising capabili- 

 ties of many portions of our extensive territory and that of 

 Canada — and the careful study of the diseases to which our 

 sheep are chiefly subject, with those by which they may even- 

 tually be afilicted througli unforeseen accidents — as well as the 

 methods of management called for under our circumstances, 

 are carefully described. Illustrated. 276 pages. 5x7 inches.
