AMERICAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. 





"The Outcasts " is a story of the west forty 

 years ago, the author's descriptions of life 

 on the plains being unusually graphic. Per- 

 haps the best thing in the book is the de- 

 scription of a buffalo "run," and the sad history 

 of that animal is finely told in these pages. 

 Mr. Fraser has been a keen student of nature ; 

 further he has caught and portrayed the spirit 

 of the west. It is an unusually well written 

 book, and will delight all lovers of outdoor 

 life. The volume is splendidly illustrated by 

 Arthur Hemiug and J. S. Gordon.

 of the principles of the subject of plant physi- 

 ology with directions for practical demonstra- 

 tions. This book should prove a valuable text 

 to all students interested in plant life. The 

 illustrations are many and appropriate and the 

 book is a valuable addition to literature relating 

 to plant life. Dr. Macdougal, the author, is well

 New York Botanical Garden.

 of Agriculture for 1900. Pp. 888. Plates 

 LXXXVII., Figs. 87. 



The Yearbook of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture, always interesting and full of valuable in- 

 formation, is unusually so this time. The steady 

 improvement so noticeable throughout the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, since it passed under 

 the direction of Secretary Wilson, is emphasized 

 by the contents and appearance of the present 

 volume of the Yearbook. In size it is about 

 the same as in previous years, but more pro- 

 fusely illustrated. In addition to the Report of 

 the Secretary and the Appendix this volume 

 contains thirty-one contributed articles. 



There are three contributed articles on for- 

 estry : " Practi al Forestry in the Southern Ap- 

 palachians," by Overton W. Price, chief of the 

 Division of Forest Management in the Bureau of 

 Forestry. "Forest Extension in the Middle 

 West," by William L. Hall; and "Fungous 

 Diseases of Forest Trees," by Herman von 

 Schrenk. The Appendix contains a list of 

 states having officers for forest work, a list of 

 forest associations, schools of forestry, institu- 

 tions offering instruction in forestry, and prog- 

 ress in forestry in 1900.
