 Principles of the Breeding q*- Animals.— By Prof. W. H. Brewer.*

 There are announced for this series the following, all by specialists in their 

 subjects : — 



Plant Pathology. 



Seeds and Seed Growing. 



Leguminous Plants and Nitrogen Gathering. 



Irrigation and Drainage. 



KuRAL Wealth and Welfare. 



Farm Poultry. 



The Kural Science Series, so far as issued, is the most valuable collection oi 

 books on rural topics in the English language. There is no reason to doubt 

 that the volumes to follow will be of equally high character. 



Other Books on Farm Topics. 



How Crops Feed.— By Prof. S. W. Johnson. Orange Judd Co., New 

 York, 1890. Price, $2.00. 



How Crops Grow.— By Prof. S. W. Johnson. Orange Judd Co., New 

 York, 1868. Price, $2.00. 



These two books by Professor Johnson, of Yale University, are standard 

 books on their subjects, but, like nearly all books of their class, published more 

 than ten years since, devote more space to pure science than is now thought 

 desirable. 



Agriculture in Some of Its Relations with Chemistry.— By Prof. 

 F. H. Storer. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. In two volumes. Price, 

 $5.00. This, like the two volumes immediately preceding, is a standard work, 

 requiring careful thought. There are many excellent books of the same class, 

 l)Ut upon the whole it seems to me that the more modern books of general 

 agriculture are likely to be more helpful to the modern farmer. They usually 

 go right to the pith of farm practice, introducing only so much of science as 

 is necessary to illustrate the subject in hand. 



Horticulture. 



California Vegetables.— By Prof. E. J. Wickson. Pacific Rural Press, 

 San Francisco, 1897. Price, $2.00. 



California Fruits.— By Prof. E. J. Wickson. Pacific Rural Press, 

 San Francisco, revised edition, 1899. Price, 



These are the standard books for Pacific Coast practice, which, in many 

 respects, differs from eastern practice. A new edition of California Fruits is in 

 preparation, to be issued during the season of 1899. 



The Raisin Industry.— By Gustave Eiscn. H. S. Crocker & Co., San 

 Francisco, 1890. Price, $2.00.
