 RURAL TEXT-BOOK SERIES 



With the increasing study of agricultmal subjects in the schools 

 has come a demand for a book on Animal Husbandry suitable for 

 use by students of high school age. It is to meet such a need that 

 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 

 horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultiy, 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 reference 

 book in schools in which time limitations make it impossible to 

 use it as a text.
