Cloth, izino, ill. 409 pages. $1.40 



To meet the demand for a book on Animal Husbandry 

 suitable for use by students of high school age this book has 

 been written, and in content, style, and arrangement it is 

 admirably adapted to the purpose. It belongs to the Rural 

 Textbook Series prepared under the editorial supervision of 

 Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell University. 



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. Designed 

 for use as a textbook, it is also well suited for use as a refer- 

 ence book in schools in which time limitations make it 

 impossible to use it as a text.
