 From the Maek Lane Expbbbs. 

 " A new book on dairy-farming could scarcely have been issued at 

 a more seasonable period than the present time, when that branch of 

 agriculture is, for the first time, receiving the attention it deserves 

 and requires ; and Mr. James Long's ' British Dairy-Farming,' pub- 

 lished by Messrs. Chapman & Hall, is likely to have a wide circulation. 

 As 178 out of 491 pages are devoted to foreign systems of dairying, 

 besides numerous references in the rest of the work, and as a book is 

 always known by its short title, it is a pity that the more comprehen- 

 sive title was not chosen, especially as the foreign portion of the work 

 is by no means the least valuable. The collection of facts, including 

 prices, and various other statistics in the chapters on milk, butter, 

 and cheese, is very useful, and must have cost a great deal of labour 

 The illustrated description of dairy utensils and appliances, again, is 

 very complete, and the details given about cream-separators, to which 

 Mr. Long has devoted special study, are worthy of careful attention. 

 In our opinion, however, the most valuable portion of the work is 

 that devoted to descriptions of Continental systems of dairying. . . 

 The instructions as to the making of the most famous fancy cheeses of 

 Prance, Italy, and Switzerland are especially worthy of study, with a 

 view to the manufacture of similar cheeses in this country. Very full 

 details of the practices of the best makers of these cheeses, with 

 numerous illustrations and records of quantities and prices, are sup- 

 plied. Indeed, it is marvellous that so many trade secrets should have 

 been divulged by the foreign dairy-farmers. The descriptions of butter- 

 making in France and Denmark are also worthy of careful attention. 

 On the whole, we sincerely congratulate Mr. Long upon the notable 

 addition which he has made to the literature of dairy-farming."
