 able little booklet of 68 pages, called the "The 

 Golden Stream," has been recently issued by the

 to Make a Babcock Test," "Rations for Dairy 

 Cows." "The Feeding Value of Silage," and

 cussed. In general, the purpose of the book is to 

 impress the farmer with the proper relation of the 

 cow to cur modern civilization as the sourse of a 

 golden stream of wealth. Numerous illustrations 

 throughout the booklet showing record-making cows 

 and herds of various milking breeds, silos, dairy 

 barns and interiors, etc., greatly enhance the value

 cially by farmers and dairymen. A copy of the

 by p. McMillan & Co.. is one of tlie best books 

 on horticulture in arid regions that we have seen 

 to date. It wrs written by Professor Paddock and 

 Professor Whipple, and is a result of their work 

 and observation while connected with the Experi- 

 ment Station in Colorado, where they had splen- 

 did opportunities in the orchards on the Western 

 slope to get at the practical side of fruit growing: 

 and when we say their book is practical we have 

 paid it the highest compliment in our power in 

 the horticulture world. Professors Paddock and 

 Whipple have a standing which commands the 

 respect of everyone, and both are men of recog- 

 nized ability in the fruit world. Fruit growers 

 will find this an excellent text book; in fact it 

 is interesting reading for any fruit grower. The 

 book can be obtained bv writing McMillan & Co..
