Animal Breeding 



By Thomas Shaw. This book is the most complete and 

 comprehensive work ever published on the subject of which 

 it treats. It is the first book which has systematized the sub- 

 ject 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.

Clovers and How to Grow Them 



By Thomas Shaw. This is the first book published which 

 treats on the growth, cultivation and treatment of clovers as 

 applicable to all parts of the United States and Canada, and 

 which takes up the entire subject in a systematic way and 

 consecutive sequence. The importance of clover in the econ- 

 omy of the farm is so great that an exhaustive work on this 

 subject will no doubt be welcomed by students in agriculture, 

 as well as by all who are interested in the tilling of the soil.
