This is an attempt to analyze the complex sub- 

 ject of agriculture, and to present the underlying 

 principles and factors in clear, terse English. Each 

 chapter is in two parts : the first part, or the 

 principles, is in numbered paragraphs in very large 

 type (the size used in "Lessons with Plants' 7 ); the 

 second part contains informal suggestions to the 

 teacher and pupil, with illustrations. It is one of 

 the few attempts to coordinate all the various agri- 

 cultural subjects, showing the relative importance 

 and position of each. It is a skeleton of agri- 

 cultural science and practice. Full references are 

 made to such literature as the teacher or pupil may 

 be able to secure.

 subjects : Introduction, discussing what agriculture is. Part I,
